Tips Galore

Here we are - our midweek tips. To change it up, we're going to go for a couple of multiples.

1. Both Bolton and Fulham have tight defences. Both Everton and Wigan are suffering a dip in form and will be happy with a point. Two stalemates here - potentially 1-1 if we're going to stick our necks out - but back both singles and a double, and you need one to come in to make a profit.

2. Back the Big Guns. Chelsea are away to Hull - they will be anxious to bounce back from their defeat to Liverpool and will have too much quality. However buoyant Hull are, some games are a bridge to far. This is one of them. Then you have Man Utd at home to West Ham - again, a rebound result - Utd dropped more points at home to Everton, but should have too much for the Hammers. They are still learning under Zola (Mark Noble admitted recently it could take them two years to adjust to his tactics) and are missing Carlton Cole. Utd have only conceded one goal at home all season, and should be too strong, perhaps with Ronaldo coming into form. Thirdly, Liverpool. They will be desperate to build on their victory over Chelsea (they lost momentum by drawing with Stoke after their win against Man Utd) and face a Pompey team who will be in shock after the departure of Harry Redknapp. Finally, you have Arsenal - they face Spurs at home. Potentially a resurgent Spurs, but a Spurs still in turmoil. Expect 'Arry to have a reality check here, and an Arsenal victory. Back the trebles and the four fold, and you need 3 winners to profit.

3. Moving to the Championship - QPR put on an awesome defensive display to hold Reading at the Madejski, and face Birmingham next up. Expect them to be tight and stingy at the back, and frustrate the Brummies (with a lack of direction perhaps, after the recent managerial upheaval). Despite being top, Birmingham have not been prolific in front of goal (18 in 13 matches) but are tight at the back (only 8 conceded). Go under 2.5 goals in this one, at around 1.8.
