While there continues to be little action on the transfer front this month the games are coming thick and fast, with eight Premier League matches scheduled for Saturday. We pick out the three best bets for the weekend, starting with Chelsea’s trip to Carrow Road to take on Norwich.

Norwich v Chelsea 12:45pm

Who would have thought that at the start of the season Norwich would be 11 points clear of the Premier League relegation zone and seemingly cruising towards safety. While the Canaries have as many points as Blackpool did at this time last season they have shown no signs of hitting the self destruct button and undoing all their good work from earlier in the campaign.

However, there are some similarities between Paul Lambert’s men and Blackpool. The amount of goals they score is phenomenal, with only the top five having banged in more. As such the first bet to look out  for should be over 2.5 goals at 8/13 in this game, even if Fernando Torres plays.

Chelsea are looking for a fourth win on the bounce win but showed they still aren’t over the issues that have dogged them right throughout the season in the 1-0 win over Sunderland last week. The Black Cats were unlucky not to take anything from the game and as such you have to think Norwich have a great chance of recording their first win over one of top teams in the Premier League, despite the Andre Villas-Boas recently signing England defender Gary Cahill.

The Blues price of 8/13 to win is too short when taking into consideration how unpredictable the season has been. Norwich are 9/2, while the draw is 3/1 in the match betting.

Everton v Blackburn 3pm

It’s fair to see you wouldn’t want to trade places with either David Moyes or Steve Kean this season given their respective issues. Kean might have seen results improve recently but that hasn’t stopped Chris Samba putting in a transfer request as Rovers battle to hold onto their star men. The Blackburn boss will be desperate to keep Samba given how well he has played this season and it wouldn’t be a surprise if the big centre-half started at Goodison Park on Saturday.

While they might have struggled at Ewood Park Rovers form on the road hasn’t been too bad. They have lost one of the last seven on the road in the league, although they have only won once as well. That victory was at Manchester United though and the trip to Goodison Park looks as though it could be fruitful.

Everton won’t have to deal with former striker Yakubu but at 6/1 Blackburn are too big a price to ignore. Everton are the lowest scorers in the Premier League, managing just 21 goals in 21 games so far. Moyes has managed to bring in Darron Gibson this month but there looks like there isn’t much cash left to improve what he has at this creaking club. Everton are 4/7, with the draw 11/4 and if Blackburn don’t take all three points they should take at least one.

Wolves v Aston Villa

If Mick McCarthy isn’t a worried man, then he should be because his Wolves team are slipping badly at the moment. He might have made ten changes for the game against Birmingham City in midweek but his squad is looking devoid of confidence and the 1-0 loss to their Midlands rivals will not have helped.

Saturday brings McCarthy another derby match up and he will hope things can improve against the increasingly unpredictable Villa. Alex McLeish’s team should have picked up three points against Everton last week but were caught on the counter attack and shouldn’t be too downbeat as they make the short trip to Molineux.

Villa have been tough to beat on the road, losing just two of their ten matches away from home. The game is unlikely to be a classic and 8/11 for under 2.5 goals should be a safe bet. The future looks gloomy for Wolves and expect Villa to heap more misery on them. Villa are 9/5 to win, with Wolves 8/5 and the draw 9/4 in the match betting.
