Fred Done’s Weekend EPL Picks
Pearls of wisdom from the old pro or just a load of bookie blag? Your call, but here at the latest picks for the weekend English Premiership action from the owner top Bookmaker BetFred.com, Fred Done.
Everton 2/1 v Liverpool 11/10 (draw 9/4)
Probably the best local derby match in the Premier League. Liverpool needs 3 points and Everton have been steady so far but form goes out of the window in this fixture.
It’s best to go with Liverpool at 11/10. A draw on the handicap (Liverpool -1) at 5/2 a good bet too.
Arsenal 2/9 v Bolton 9/1 (draw 4/1)
Arsenal are still winning and still playing Arsenalesque football. They will win this one but Bolton have a history of causing upsets against the Gunners so be careful with this one. Still, I go for a 3-1 win for Arsenal at 10/1. Robin Van Persie has been in fine form lately and is 7/2 to open the scoring.
Blackburn 4/6 v Reading 7/2 (draw 12/5)
Most nailed on bet of the season so far at a reasonable price. Reading are so poor this season, away from home they are all over the place. Blackburn are a rugged side who battle for everything and will take this match for sure. Lump on the 4/6!!
Fulham 8/11 v Derby 10/3 (draw 9/4)
Another match which looks straightforward. Fulham should take the 3 points at 8/11. Clint Dempsey who has already scored a few goals this season is 7/1 to score first.
Man City 4/7 v Birmingham 9/2 (draw 12/5)
This seems too easy, yet another game which should go to the home team. Man City will win this at 4/7 with the aforementioned Elano at 8/1 to net first. Under 2.5 goals at 8/11 could be worth a punt too.
Middlesbrough 4/1 v Chelsea 8/13 (draw 12/5)
A comfortable away win at 8/13 is on the cards. Chelsea half time – full time is 11/8.
Wigan 13/8 v Portsmouth 11/8 (draw 11/5)
A tricky one, possibly the trickiest of the weekend. Not too sure which way this will go so a draw is probably safest at 11/5. A draw at half time at even money is a good bet. A bet that has served me well in the past.
Aston Villa 7/2 v Man Utd 4/6 (draw 12/5)
I have to say that this will be a good match with some goals but a draw seems likely. I may be brave at a go for a 2-2 draw at 14/1. I may be way off but I just have a “feeling”. Aston Villa +1 on the handicap at 11/10 may be a good bet.
West Ham 4/5 v Sunderland 3/1 (draw 9/4)
West Ham @ 4/5 – easy as that! Doesn’t have to be justified, just common sense.
Newcastle 5/4 v Tottenham 7/4 (draw 9/4)
Only Mystic Meg can predict this one, but I’m picking this game will be a draw.
