Bet On The Premier League


Nuno Eyes Forest Cup Revenge

This is the second time this season Forest and Newcastle have met at the City Ground, after their EFL Cup clash back in August.

On that occasion, after a 1-1 draw, it was the Magpies who progressed after winning a penalty shoot-out.

Since then though, it’s Forest who have shone with Nuno Espirito Santos’ men currently sat third in the Premier League - six points off top spot.

There were some early season concerns that the Tricky Trees would be more suited to playing away from home, highlighted by a 1-0 win at leaders Liverpool.

Nuno’s defensive style enables them to hit teams on the break and many thought that would see them struggle against teams that sit in at the City Ground.

But Forest have won their last two home games to nil - against Crystal Palace and West Ham - and will be confident of extending that run.

The form of Chris Wood - named October’s Premier League Player of the Month - is another reason for the hosts to believe that they can secure another three points, with the New Zealand striker finding the net five times in his last four games.

It wouldn’t be sa urprise to see him add to his eight league goals against one of his former teams, especially when you consider the Magpies’ away form this season.

Eddie Howe’s men have won just one of their five Premier League away games this season and that was a late comeback against Wolves.

Ruud Wants To End On A High

Sunday’s match between Man Utd and Leicester will be Ruud van Nistelrooy’s final game in interim charge of the Red Devils.

It’s been three games since Erik ten Hag left the Old Trafford manager’s hotseat, with United winning twice and drawing one of their three matches under Van Nistelrooy.

The first of the interim manager’s fixtures saw them beat Sunday’s opponents 5-2 in the EFL Cup and the Dutchman will want a repeat success this weekend, before Ruben Amorim takes charge following the international break.

Thursday’s 2-0 Europa League victory over PAOK was their first clean sheet in six matches and a change in defensive plans may one of the first tasks for Amorim.

United are still missing Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo, but Leny Yoro returned to training this week after a long-term foot injury, although this game may come too soon for the Frenchman.

Recent league wins over Bournemouth and Southampton have moved Leicester out of the relegation zone.

They have scored in each of their five league away games this season, but they have also conceded 11 goals during that run of matches.

The Foxes are still missing Hamza Choudhury due to injury, but otherwise Steve Cooper has a near full-strength squad to select from.

Goals On The Agenda In North London

A fourth straight home league win for Spurs could move them into the top-six going into the international break.

Ange Postecoglou’s men have beaten Brentford, West Ham and Aston Villa on home turf and scored 11 goals across those three games.

Spurs are now the highest scorers in the top-flight, averaging 2.2 goals per game, but it’s also worth noting that they have also conceded in each of those last three home matches.

Ipswich head to the capital sat in the bottom three and still looking for their first Premier League win of the season.

Kieran McKenna’s squad have collected just two points from their last five matches, but they have scored in four of those fixtures and they will be buoyed by the fact the the Lilywhites have some defensive issues.

Micky van der Ven is still missing with a hamstring problem, while Postecoglou admits he’ll have to make a late decision on the fitness of Cristian Romero.

It’s also interesting to note that Ipswich have been in front in three of those five games - against Aston Villa, Brentford and Leicester.

The Tractor Boys did the double over the Londoners when they last met in the Premier League, back in the 2001-02 season, but this looks an altogether tougher task.
