The final fixtures of 2017 offer one more opportunity for Premier League betting before the turn of the year.
My betting tips this weekend all feature football games in which the home sides are clear favourites, but there’s a variety of bets to study closely.
Chelsea vs Stoke City (December 30, 23:00 GMT+8)
The champions are on a roll.
They are within a point of second place and welcome a Stoke side crippled by injuries in defence.
For this game, they will likely be without captain Ryan Shawcross (calf), Bruno Martins Indi (groin) and Kurt Zouma (ineligible).
I expect Chelsea to take full advantage and I’m going for 2 x 🌟🌟 bets: First Half Asian Handicap -1.00 Chelsea @ 2.13 and Asian Handicap Chelsea -2.00 @ 1.87.
Watford FC vs Swansea City (December 30, 23:00 GMT+8)
For Swansea to sack Paul Clement was understandable given their position.
For them not to have a replacement lined up was foolhardy.
One needs to only look at Everton’s dallying after Ronald Koeman’s departure as proof of the downward spiral that can create.
That Swans’ caretaker boss Leon Britton and whoever is appointed full-time boss need reinforcements is evident.
My 2 x 🌟🌟🌟 tips are for Watford to take full advantage in both halves: First Half 1X2 Watford @ 2.35 and Asian Handicap -0.75 Watford @ 1.92.
Manchester United vs Southampton (December 31,01:30 GMT+8)
There’s no doubt Southampton need to invest all of the £75 million they will soon receive for the sale of Virgil van Dijk.
There’s no doubt they need to be more resolute than shown in their 5-2 Boxing Day drubbing to Spurs.
A lack of leadership will likely cost them again at Old Trafford where Jose Mourinho’s United are impressing and eager to hold onto the second spot.
I feel a happy end to the year for the hosts.
Another 2 x 🌟🌟🌟 tips are: over 2.75 goals @ 2.00 and Asian Handicap -1.50 Man Utd @ 2.11.
