All eyes will be on Southampton’s new manager Mauricio Pochettino who will face his first match in charge in the Premier League against Everton tonight. A tough test for any club with the Toffee’s flying high in the league after only three defeats all season. The Argentine will no doubt be eager to prove himself and it will be interesting for all as to whether he can pull off a victory in his first match.

Tottenham will be looking to do the double on Man United and take a second Premier League win of the season against them this evening, but the odds are against them at 2/1, with a Man United win priced at 11/8. Tottenham’s surprise away victory over The Reds came in September, in a high-scoring 3-2 win, and punters should be expecting an exciting game today.
After suffering embarrassing results in their last two home games in the Premier League Chelsea should be fighting for a win here against Arsenal to regain their pride, and they are our favourite to do so at EVS. Chelsea recently lost 1-0 to QPR at Stamford Bridge followed by a disappointing 2-2 draw to Southampton in their next home game, so the pressure will be on them to perform here.
Despite only winning twice at the DW Stadium so far in the Premier League Wigan are our 11/10 favourite coming into their match today, and they are in desperate need of a win. They are taking on Sunderland and the hosts should be keen to secure three points to put some distance between them and the relegation zone, as currently Wigan are escaping the dreaded area based solely on goal difference.
Blackpool are welcoming Cardiff to Bloomfield Road in the Championship this evening in what could be a tight match, although the hosts are our slight favourite at 6/4 to win, with Cardiff at 7/4. However Blackpool are entering the match in poor form, having only won twice in their last twelve in the Championship and they are still playing without a manager since Michael Appleton’s departure to Blackburn last week, so Cardiff should not be written off.
The FA Cup replay between Man United and West Ham should be a lively game, since their first FA Cup meeting ended in a dramatic 2-2 draw, and Man United will be after revenge here. The Red Devils should be confident with the likes of Wayne Rooney back in action whilst West Ham have a depleted squad, and United are our hot 3/10 favourite to win.
