The FA Cup throws us a bit of a curveball this weekend and as such there are only four fixtures for your attention in the League – but with that being said there is no doubt value in looking to add a few extra legs from the League into those weekend multiples!
Saturday 16 March
43/20 Burnley | Draw 26/10 | Brentford 21/20 (17:00)
Ben Mee’s injury was shown to be a massive for the Bees last time out and given the lack of depth in their defensive ranks, I think the end of this season is going to be incredibly tough for then.
I haven’t changed my opinion of Burnley, I still think they are going down, but they have registered some intriguing performances and against a vulnerable Brentford I think they could be a surprise package. Back the home win.
16/10 Luton | Draw 5/2 | Nottm Forest 15/10 (17:00)
Every game from here on in is massive for Luton, they have failed to replicate their run of form from January, and you get the feeling that is they are to stay up – these are the sorts of games they will need to earn valuable points. Forest was desperately unlucky against Brighton, and I still think their attacking threats are worth more in front of goal.
It was the referee against Liverpool and then a lapse of concentration at the Amex – I think they come right here.
43/20 Fulham | Draw 26/10 | Tottenham 21/20 (19:30)
I enjoy Fulham at the moment, they play good football and have some seriously dangerous goal scorers in front of goal…Spurs’ result against Villa was massive and they will certainly want to consolidate that performance here.
James Maddison makes an incredible difference and when Spurs are in full attacking flow, they are unplayable. Back the away win here.
Sunday 17 March
7/4 West Ham | Draw 26/10 | Aston Villa 27/20 (16:00)
I know the mood around the London Stadium has been increasingly frustrated, but I don’t think a change of manager is the answer…I really don’t. I trust Villa a lot more when they play at home, but I think they edge this. They are far more consistent and better structured at the moment.
The 7/4 about the home win is just an added incentive!
