Manchester United

United beat Latics 5-0 both home and away last term and have scored 35 goals in total in the 11 games played, all wins for Sir Alex Ferguson’s side, while conceding only four.

Therefore it may well pay to load your Fantasy League team with United players and Nemanja Vidic certainly looks a valuable inclusion.

Wigan are the worst scorers in the top flight, having only just crept in to double figures for the season, while the Red Devils have only conceded five at home, winning five and drawing one at Old Trafford this term.

With the obvious potential of clean sheet and defensive points for the Serbia star, Vidic (5/1 to score anytime) is easily the most potent of the United backline, scoring three goals to date but two of those have come in the last four games.

Only games involving Tottenham have enjoyed more goals than those of Blackpool over the last six games and Charlie Adam (8/1 in the Enhanced First Goalscorer betting) can again pull the strings against struggling Wolves, who have picked up just one point on their travels this season.

After a good run of form in the league, winning three including a 2-0 victory over Chelsea and drawing one, Liverpool were brought crashing back to earth by Stoke last weekend.

However, Fernando Torres (11/4 in the Enhanced First Goalscorer market) and his team-mates are unlikely to find themselves up against such physically robust tactics and the Spanish World Cup winner can rediscover his goal-scoring touch against basement side West Ham, who have mustered just four goals in six winless away games this term and have not won at Anfield since 1963.

West Brom appear to have hit a downward spiral after early-season promise, and have picked up just one point in the last four games, coming against bottom side West Ham.

Stoke City (12/5 to win, 11/5 the draw – match betting) have bounced back from their own slump and fully deserved a 2-0 win over Liverpool last weekend to make it two on the bounce and with Ryan Shawcross back in the side, the Potters have added potence in set-piece situations in a game that doesn’t reek of goals.

Asamoah Gyan (11/2 Enhanced First Goalscorer) has hit a rich vein of form for Sunderland and can make the difference again when the Black Cats take on Everton on Monday night.

The Ghana international has bagged four goals in his last three games, including in a surprise 3-0 win at Chelsa, and Steve Bruce’s men can continue their unbeaten home form against poor travellers Everton, who have won just once and scored five away from Goodison.

The 21-year-old has always looked a class act but propelled himself to the forefront of world football by making a very good Inter defence look like statues over the two legs.

Bale should feature in a Spurs side looking for their first Premier League victory since beating Fulham on October 16 and, with the youngster on fire, they look a good bet to take the points from a Bolton side who have only won once at home this season (Spurs 13/10 – 90 minutes betting v Bolton).

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti believes Nicolas Anelka is in the form of his career and who are we to argue, as the Frenchman bagged his fifth Champions League goal in four matches on Wednesday night.

Labelled ‘le sulk’ at various clubs, the former Arsenal star appears settled at Stamford Bridge and is combining well with Didier Drogba up front for the Blues.

The 31-year-old spent time on-loan at Liverpool and will be looking to add to his three Premier League goals this term when he faces his old side at Anfield.

Ancelotti says Anelka is happy at the club and that can only mean good things as he is undoubtedly one of the best strikers in the top-flight when his mood is right (Anelka 25/1 – Premier League goal-scorer).

Cesc Fabregas had the night off as Arsenal lost 2-1 to Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday but he should be fine for the visit of Newcastle on Sunday.

The Gunners skipper has only bagged on Premier League goal this season but scored 15 last term and it is high time the talented midfielder got back on the scoresheet.

Newcastle are in the habit of winning one then losing one and so, following last weeks 5-1 hammering of Sunderland, they will need to be wary of what the Londoners are capable of at home.

Fabregas was rested for the European tie as a precaution with a sore hamstring so expect him to be raring to go at the Emirates this weekend (Arsenal 2/7 – 90 minutes betting v Newcastle).

Darren Bent has a phenomenal scoring record for Sunderland, with 33 in 51 appearances for the Black Cats in all competitions, and six from 10 Premier League outings this term.

Boss Steve Bruce will demand an immediate response from his men following the 5-1 drubbing at Newcastle and Bent will be the man they look to to score the goals against a Stoke side who have lost their last three top-flight games.

This game may not whet the appetite as much others over the weekend but Bent’s goal-scoring prowess could be the difference in a low-scoring encounter at the Stadium of Light (Sunderland Evens – 90 minutes betting v Stoke).

Finally, Birmingham goalkeeper Ben Foster will probably not be the busiest man on Saturday as bottom-of-the-table West Ham travel to St Andrew’s (Birmingham 10/11 – 90 minutes betting v West Ham).

With no away wins and just two goals on their travels, the Hammers appear little threat away from Upton Park and Birmingham have only conceded three Premier League goals at home this season.

Foster has kept four clean sheets in the Premier League so far this campaign and surely will never get a better chance of making it five than against a side shorn of confidence and tipped for relegation.
