Everton to beat Burnley @ 19/20
Liverpool to win to nil v Wolves @ 21/20
Chelsea to beat Aston Villa @ 17/20
Four-fold @ 10/1
Citizens can keep pressure on Arsenal
Manchester City can go top of the Premier League table again on Saturday by beating Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in the lunchtime fixture.
City have been piling pressure on long-time league leaders Arsenal in recent weeks and Pep Guardiola’s men have a golden opportunity to put Mikel Arteta’s side under strain before the Gunners face Brighton later in the day.
City have won seven consecutive games in all competitions, keeping a clean sheet in their last three, and it would be a surprise should they fail to take maximum points against a Forest side who are flirting with the relegation zone.
Leg 1: Manchester City to beat Nottingham Forest @ 3/5
Toffeemen to enjoy Turf Moor trip
Burnley have scored only seven goals at home in the league this season and Scott Parker’s team may struggle to entertain the Turf Moor faithful again.
Burnley suffered seven consecutive defeats before stopping the rot with a point at Bournemouth on Saturday.
Everton have won four of their last seven matches, winning at Manchester United and Bournemouth in that run, and more away-day joy could be coming.
Leg 2: Everton to beat Burnley @ 19/20
Wolves unlikely to bother Liverpool’s defence
Liverpool have been getting their act together lately, winning three consecutive games, and they kept a clean sheet against Brighton in their last Anfield date.
Wolves are enduring a pitiful campaign and are yet to win a league match this season. They have lost seven of their eight away games and it is fanciful to suggest that miserable streak will end at Anfield.
Inter Milan, Brighton and Tottenham have been beaten by Liverpool in December, so the Reds should find Wolves easy pickings.
It is a bit of a surprise to find Liverpool to win without conceding available at odds-against.
Leg 3: Liverpool to win to nil v Wolves @ 21/20
Blues can reignite title challenge
Chelsea have precious little margin for error if they want to remain in the title race and nothing but three points will do against Aston Villa.
The away side have been enjoying plenty of plaudits, shocking most observers with their league position, but most of their best work has been done at home.
Chelsea have lost only two home games in all competitions this season and the Blues beat Barcelona 3-0 at Stamford Bridge a month ago.
Chelsea’s vast squad provides Enzo Maresca with an embarrassment of riches and they have no key players absent at the African Cup of Nations.
