Premier League Game Week 24 – Copybet
As we move from January into February, this weekend’s Premier League action gets underway with a trio of 3pm fixtures on Saturday before a TV double-header at Stamford Bridge and Anfield, while Sunday’s action culminates in Manchester City’s trip to Tottenham Hotspur.
Wolves vs Bournemouth
Wolves may be almost certainly on the path to relegation, but Rob Edwards’ side have shown a remarkable improvement over the past few weeks and could upset the odds when Bournemouth visit Molineux.
The rock-bottom side have earned six of their eight points in their last four matches and have won two and drawn one of their last three home matches, offering the tiniest glimmer of hope to the home faithful.
Bournemouth have not won an away game since August, and that run may be extended on Saturday.
Chelsea vs West Ham
Chelsea’s appointment of Liam Rosenior has proven a masterstroke in the early days of his tenure, and they should get another three points on the board against West Ham.
The Blues have won five of their six games under the new manager and have won their last five home meetings with West Ham, who remain in the relegation zone despite a recent upturn in results.
The Hammers have scored in five of their last six games, though, while the home side have kept only one clean sheet in their last six fixtures, so back them to score in defeat.
Aston Villa vs Brentford
Aston Villa remain shock contenders for the Premier League title, sitting just four points adrift of Arsenal after their win at Newcastle last weekend.
The Villans have won 11 of their last 12 home matches and have scored 13 goals in their last four home meetings with Brentford.
The Bees have a similarly impressive home record, but away from home they have managed just nine points from a possible 33, losing eight of these 11 trips.
Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace
Nottingham Forest are teetering precariously on the edge of safety in the Premier League, but the Tricky Trees could give themselves a boost against struggling Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The Eagles have failed to win any of their last 11 games and have drawn one and lost four of their five away games in this period.
Sean Dyche’s men have won two of their last three Premier League fixtures and beat Palace 1-0 at the City Ground last season.
