James Buttler takes a look at the three Premier League matches on Tuesday evening and finds a tasty 22/1 treble.
Arsenal vs Fulham
Second-placed Arsenal find themselves 12 points behind leaders Liverpool and realistically are now playing for the silver medal in the Premier League this season. The Gunners take on eighth-placed Fulham who are seeking a top-half finish.
Arsenal's formidable home record (9 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss) and impressive defensive stats, having conceded only 24 goals in 29 matches, make them strong favourites on Tuesday. Mikel Arteta’s tactical discipline, combining possession-based football and high-intensity pressing, has transformed Arsenal into genuine title contenders, although if you’d told them they’d be 10 points clear of Manchester City at this stage of the campaign they’d have been booking an open topped bus celebratory parade.
With a recent 1-0 victory over Chelsea extending their unbeaten run to five matches, Arsenal looks well-prepared to dominate this encounter. But Marco Silva’s visitors have claimed six wins and four draws in 14 away matches this season and their recent 2-0 win over Tottenham highlights their ability to compete with top sides, though inconsistency remains a concern.
Despite missing key players through injury, Arsenal at home are a match for any side but the 5/11 on a home win isn’t particularly exciting. So, my tip also relies on the Gunners’ excellent defensive record and Arsenal to win ‘to nil’ at 23/20 with BetVictor is the way in.
Wolves v West Ham
We can try and big this match at Molineux up as crunch relegation clash with Wolves sitting 17th and West Ham one spot above in 16th, but both teams are now well clear of the bottom three. Wolves are the most desperate of the two sides to secure points just to confirm their spot in the Premier League for next season, but a nine-point gap with nine games to go should be enough.
And Wolves have renewed confidence following a vital 2-1 away victory over Southampton. Despite their lowly position, their recent improvement makes them strong contenders for a home win at odds of 6/4 with StarSports. Under manager Vítor Pereira, Wolves have adopted a more attacking approach, but their defensive struggles remain evident, having conceded 58 goals in 29 matches.
Graham Potter’s West Ham been inconsistent away from home with just four wins and five draws from 14 away trips. Their most recent result was a 1-1 draw at Everton, a missed opportunity to secure much-needed points. The Hammers have conceded 49 goals this season, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities and I fancy Wolves to take all three points, and that price of 6/4 is good enough for me.
Nottingham Forest v Manchester United
Forest have been a revelation this season and their current third-place position is very much on merit. With Man Utd down in 13th and 17 points behind Forest who have been in exceptional form at the City Ground. Nuno Espírito Santo’s side have claimed eight wins and four draws from 14 home matches this season and could not be higher in confidence after a 4-2 away win against Ipswich Town, which they followed with a penalty shootout success against Brighton.
Manchester United’s away form has been inconsistent, with just four wins from 14 attempts. Despite their recent 3-0 victory over Leicester City, the Red Devils remain vulnerable defensively and lack cohesion under manager Rúben Amorim.
There could be plenty of goals in this one and Man Utd certainly have enough to find the net, but I can’t see them taking any points home. Forest to win and BTTS is my bet at a very tempting 7/2 with SkyBet.
