City are always very strong on their own turf and Fulham don’t usually travel well, so this does look like being a home banker. Stranger things have happened in the top flight though and with Dimitar Berbatov in the Fulham side, you cannot write them off.
Roberto Mancini’s side though do look to be back to something of their best, although still not totally convincing they have now reeled off six wins in the last seven. The 2/7 on the home win is sure to be added to accunulators, while those seeking a bigger price may opt for the 2-0 at 6/1 or the 3-0 correct score at 7/1 with Paddy Power.
Liverpool entertain Norwich City as well and the Reds need to bounce back quickly following their 2-1 defeat to Manchester United last time out.
Luis Suarez is sure to be looking forward to this one after scoring six goals in his last two matches against the Canaries. The away side got their first point in five last time out, but know they are in for a tough afternoon here. The Reds should win this one but the 1/3 looks a little on the skinny side.
While most of the talk has been around Suarez this week there may be better value on backing new signing Daniel Sturridge to score first. The striker has looked sharp and eager since his arrival from Chelsea and looks a decent bet at evens to find the net anytime during the game.
Reading are on their travels to Newcastle United in what is a big game at the bottom of the table. The Royals could move level with Wigan Athletic and Aston Villa with a win here and might be taking on the Magpies at the right time as they haven’t won in four and look short of quality right now.
The Toon have big problems at the moment and The Royals are surely worth a wager at a big looking 4/1.
Two sides that play contrasting styles of football meet at the Liberty Stadium as Swansea City host Stoke City.
These two are separated by just one point in the top flight though and both are enjoying successful seasons, so this could be an entertaining 90 minutes. The Swans are sure to get the ball down and play, whereas Stoke will pile balls into the box and look to claim only their second away win of the season.
Wigan have blown hot and cold this campaign and they are at home to Sunderland this weekend. They know that if they don’t pick up all three points, then they could be in the bottom three come the final whistle.
The Black Cats moved six points away from the drop zone with a 3-0 win over West Ham United last time out and now Martin O’Neill expects his men to start moving up the table.
West Ham have struggled for form in recent weeks and they host big-spending Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.
Rangers have been busy in the transfer market this week and it might have given the squad a big boost for this encounter, especially as players know they have to fight for their place in the side. The Hammers are always strong at home though and will be tough to beat.
The evening kick-off is a Midlands derby between West Bromwich Albion and Aston Villa at the Hawthorns.
Both sides need the points for different reasons right now as the Baggies are trying to keep the pace with the top six, whereas Villa have moved into the bottom three after a shocking run. Most worrying for Villa fans is that the early season goals of Christian Benteke have dried up, and with Darren Bent struggling with injury the Baggies look very backable at 8/11.
The Hawthorns will be rocking for this one and it should be a fitting way to round-off Saturday’s Premier League action.
