A fascinating encounter this one and one where Aston Villa will be popular at 7/4 with Sky Bet for the away win. I've got eyes elsewhere though for a potential angle in.

Hits and misses: Boring, boring Man Utd

Antony is slowly developing into a reliable customer for Erik ten Hag out of possession as his performances of late have shown a marked increase in defensive responsibilities. He's certainly mucking in for the cause albeit without showing the attacking output his bulky price tag suggests.

This increased tenacity can be seen through his recent tackle numbers which are on the increase and are providing a bit of value in the tackles markets with Sky Bet. He's made 18 in his last five starts for United, so if he can continue along this trajectory in a game where he'll be asked to do plenty of tracking back-up against Villa's proactive left-side, then the 5/4 on him making two or more tackles and 4/1 to make three or more tackles are live runners.

SCORE PREDICTION: 0-1Brentford vs Wolves, Wednesday 7.30pm

The influence Gary O'Neil has had on Wolves can be seen through the spiking attacking metrics of Mario Lemina this season. O'Neil wants to attack. He wants his players to play with freedom. And that has been stamped all over Lemina, who has made his name as a midfield enforcer - and a good one at that - but is now adding extras to his game in the form of making intelligent attacking runs into dangerous parts of the pitch.

He's having more shots and scoring more goals than ever before. His goal against Chelsea was his third in his last eight starts, backed up a return of 14 shots. The markets haven't quite caught up with this increased goal threat so his 22/1 first goalscorer price makes plenty of appeal.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1Chelsea vs Crystal Palace, Wednesday 7.30pm

Although Palace are a club that are stuck in no mans land in the Premier League, those behind the scenes deserve huge praise for the signings and continued development of Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise. Both are rapidly becoming two of the most exciting attacking players in the league - and while Eze remains hampered by injury, Olise is currently leading the Palace charge. There's nothing to fear in a trip to Stamford Bridge anymore and Olise has the game to help Palace to a result with my eyes firmly on the 15/8 with Sky Bet on the winger scoring or grabbing an assist.

Since returning to the side on November 25, Olise has scored twice in five starts and looks to have bagged penalty taking duties having netted one at Manchester City. He leads the Palace charts for most chances created (16) and successful dribbles (12) since his return at Luton and his team-mates took advantage of his service when Jordan Ayew headed home his cross in the draw with Brighton. There should be more assists and goals to come, starting here.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1Everton vs Manchester City, Wednesday 8.15pm

There is absolutely no way I could even consider backing at Manchester City at 1/2 with Sky Bet. This fixture just screams getting Everton on your side at the prices with Goodison Park likely to be rocking and rolling behind their dangerous and committed team.

Foden and Alvarez inspire Man City to first Club World Cup triumph

Sean Dyche's team have won eight of their last 13 league matches - only Aston Villa, Arsenal and Liverpool have taken more.

They were very unfortunate at Tottenham, too, where they won the expected goal battle and recorded 16 shots from inside the box. This team know how to create chances and City have only kept three clean sheets in their last 22 matches in domestic and European action. The 11/8 with Sky Bet on Everton has to go close.
