Underdogs Result: We got one right out of four.
Manchester United FC vs AFC Bournemouth
Bournemouth and Manchester United are at the opposite ends of the Premier League table, points-wise and form-wise as well. The Red Devils have a golden chance to move up in the table and could not have asked for a better opponent.
Bournemouth are staring down the barrel but have no dearth in quality and could trouble any side on their day. But, Mourinho has made Old Trafford a fortress, with just one loss recorded this season at home and while they could find Eddie Howe’s side difficult to deal with, the Red Devils are unlikely to lose.
BetbyStats – The two teams have faced each other three times, with both the teams getting on the scoresheet on each occasion, while each of those games featured more than 2.5 goals. Hence, the two markets are taken up by us.
Favourable Bets:
1. Both Teams to Score – YES @ 2.10
2. Over 10.5 Corners @ 2.00
3. Over 3.5 Bournemouth Corners @ 2.20
Underdog Bets:
1. Joshua King to score anytime @ 5.00

Liverpool maintained their profile of caving in against lesser profile teams and are expected to continue their trend of stepping up against Arsenal as they have done against every top side this season.

West Ham United FC vs Chelsea FC
Chelsea are away to West Ham United on a Monday night. Forget the massive gap in points between the two teams, West Ham have just 1 loss in the last six games and are on an upward trajectory.
