Tottenham vs Manchester United: Valencia to make an assist, 5/1

HE DOES not get much of the limelight but Antonio Valencia is having a brilliant season.

He is the dangerman in this one. The way Spurs play, with their full-backs high, means Valencia will get loads of space to do his thing.

The United midfield in front of him tend to play narrow, so they create the space for Valencia to fly down the wings.

That's why I'm going for an assist for the Ecuadorian.

Either way, this will be a very interesting game. It's too close to call and I can see it ending as a draw.

Leicester vs Everton: Calvert-Lewin to score anytime, 3/1

UNDER Ronald Koeman, the majority of the players wanted to come towards the ball.

That made it very difficult to play it out of the back. There was no out-ball forward and they ended up having to play risky passes through the middle.

But things will change with David Unsworth, as my graphic demonstrates.

He will get his players rushing forward much faster, charging up the pitch and offering attacking options.

That means Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with his lightning pace, will be a threat.

The young striker may not start but I'll be having a few quid for him to score anytime.

 

Burnley v Newcastle: 0-0 at half time, 11/10

I'M ON commentary for this game.

But I don't think I'll be describing many goals when we're on air!

Both teams love to start off strong at the back and Burnley and Newcastle conceded very few first half goals.

Rafa Benitez, as my graphic shows, packs in two defensive midfielders.

I'm certain this one will be 0-0 at half-time. It's going to be a very close game and I wouldn't be surprised if it was a draw.
