The Scout: EPL Week 11
West Ham vs Manchester United
5th placed West Ham host 9th placed Manchester United in a match with both sides coming in off three straight Premier League victories.
West Ham’s wins have come against relatively soft opponents (Fulham, Sheffield United and Aston Villa) while United’s include away wins over Everton and Southampton.
The Red Devils look to have turned a corner, highlighted by their stunning win against Southampton where they overcame a 2-0 deficit.
United have won every away fixture this season, and with Bruno Fernandes playing like a man possessed, I see no reason for that to change here.
Suggested Bet: Manchester United (Match Result) @ $2
Liverpool vs Wolverhampton
Defending champions Liverpool (2nd) are back on track after a run of six straight Premier League matches without defeat, while Wolverhampton (7th) are coming off a 2-1 away win over Arsenal.
Wolverhampton will be without their spearhead and leading goalscorer Raul Jimenez who suffered a fractured skull in their last game.
Liverpool have conceded 17 goals for the season by are still outscoring their opponents, with no player helping more than Diogo Jota. The new signing has been a welcome addition with five goals for the season.
Jota has scored in back-to-back matches and I think he will get his chances here against his old side.
Suggested Bet: Diogo Jota Anytime Goalscorer @ $2.20*
Sheffield United vs Leicester City
Last placed Sheffield United remain the only team in the Premier League without a win to their name.
Leicester City had were upset at home last week by Fulham but are presented with the perfect bounce-back opportunity.
Sheffield’s biggest issue this season has been goal scoring. They’ve scored just four times for the year (lowest in the league) and their best result has been 1-1 draws.
Jamie Vardy has scored twice as many goals as the entire Sheffield United side this season and I think he’ll be the catalyst of a big win here.
Suggested Bet: Leicester (Match Result) @ $2*
*Odds correct as at 12pm, 4th December 2020.
