The games just keep coming and we’ll be lucky if this next lot of fixtures are a fraction of last weekend’s entertainment. It was all about the comebacks as Fulham, Everton, Man United and Man City all rallied from behind to claim vital points. Two clubs that were on the receiving end were Arsenal and Tottenham and that will make Saturday’s North London derby that little bit spicier.
Arsene Wenger must be wondering what on earth has happened to his side this season. In August the Gunners looked rock solid at the back, but a little shot shy as new signings adapted to life in England. We’re only in November and those solid defensive performances are long gone and they’re rivaling the Saints for the worst back four.
The Gunners are very much a Jekyll and Hyde side and it’s hard to predict just what team will turn out. However, Tottenham are also struggling for results and Sunday’s defeat at the Etihad was their third straight league loss.
This is a fixture I always look out for in the season and it rarely fails to disappoint. There were seven goals when the two rivals met at the Emirates last season and I wouldn’t be surprised to see more of the same. Neither club is playing well enough to take all three points, so back the draw and there to be more than 3.5 goals.
I’m off to the Madejski later that afternoon for Reading’s game with Everton. Brian McDermott is still chasing his first Premier League win, but there’s been signs of improvement in the past few games. Reading are unbeaten in four games and should have really beaten Norwich as poor finishing let them down.
Everton though are a much better side than Norwich and are one of the best sides going forward. Marouane Fellaini is unstoppable and Nikica Jelavic was back amongst the goals when Everton beat Sunderland last Saturday. David Moyes will have been relieved to end their run of four straight draws and he’ll no doubt see this as an excellent chance for successive wins.
It’s hard to argue against Everton picking up another win and I’m happy to take the 1.87 on BETDAQ for them to do exactly that.
