Premier League predictions and best bets: Everton beat Newcastle | Football News

Our football betting expert Jones Knows is back to give his insight into the Premier League weekend card and tip Everton to win against Newcastle.

Everton v Newcastle, Saturday 5.30pm, live on Sky Sports – PLAY SUPER 6 TO WIN £500,000!

Everton will receive more cards than Newcastle, this is at 5/6 on Sky Bet – it's short but borders on banker material.

Everton have no players who draw yellow cards from their opponents. They play with great directness and defend deep – such teams often do not have periods of play where tensions arise and cynical fouls are committed.

In the last 44 Premier League games, just 1.48 yellow cards have been shown to the opposing team per game – only Sheffield United have averaged a lower figure – and in each of their eight games this season, the opposing team have been shown fewer than two cards .

Newcastle didn't receive a single yellow card in either of their two meetings with Everton last season and just three in their last four meetings with the Toffees.

Saturday, October 5th, 5:00 p.m

Kick-off is 5:30 p.m

This opens up the possibility of Everton winning the card race – a bet that has been made in 18 of their last 25 games across all competitions.

RESULT PREDICTION: 2-1 | JONES KNOWS' BEST BET: Everton get more tickets than Newcastle (5/6 with Sky Bet)

Chelsea v Nottingham Forest, Sunday, 2pm

Nottingham Forest will not be as welcoming to Chelsea as Brighton was last weekend, who showed great tactical insight to force their way through Brighton's chaotic defence.

Enzo Maresca is developing well with a team that is growing in confidence and has won its last five games in all competitions. It's not perfect, but winning is a great habit.

Chelsea are expected to come out on top, but Forest's defensive strategy under Nuno Espirito Santo deserves more respect than the markets are giving them here.

In the 27 games since his appointment, only Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool have had a better expected goals against performance than Forest (1.24 per 90), and overall they have only conceded two or more goals in five of their last 20 competitions. The under 2.5 goals limit at 6/4 on Sky Bet should give bettors a great run.

RESULT PREDICTION: 1-0

Aston Villa v Manchester United, Sunday 2pm, live on Sky Sports – PLAY SUPER 6 TO WIN £500,000!

Manchester United makes my work extremely difficult. I feel your pain, Erik.

Who knows which team will show up at Villa Park? Not even the manager.

But this could be a great spot for United if they are there.

Aston Villa poured so much physical and emotional energy into a performance and result for the ages against Bayern Munich on Wednesday night – a night that once again showed what a master tactician Unai Emery is.

But they may not need to be anywhere near that level to win if United emerge from the first half against Tottenham.

Just do the basics and you can beat this Ten Hag team.

The results market is a minefield, but Youri Tielemans offers a betting angle. Based on his performances at the start of the season, he is quickly becoming one of the best midfielders in the Premier League and is at 7/2 on Sky Bet, which would be his fourth assist of the season.

He appears to be fully utilized in this role and is given license to participate in attacks and also act as a playmaker from deep. His increasing influence is reflected in him having almost 20 more touches of the ball per game than last season, completing 1.4 more passes in the final third and, most importantly, creating 2.2 chances per game.

RESULT PREDICTION: 1-1

Brighton v Tottenham, Sunday 4.30pm, live on Sky Sports – PLAY SUPER 6 TO WIN £500,000!

Two high lines. Two aggressive managers.

Bring your hard hats, this could get dangerously exciting.

It's a shame that the markets are completely focused on the prospects of the targets. The odds for over 3.5 goals are 10/11 at Sky Bet, so we'll have to get a little more creative to find a winner.

Step forward Dejan Kulusevski – a player who has rewarded followers of my betting efforts over the years, and he is once again in bet-worthy form.

I love the role he plays in this Tottenham midfield, where Rodrigo Bentancur provides security at the base and Kulusevski and James Maddison are given license to operate in dangerous areas.

The Swede was phenomenal at Old Trafford last weekend, creating seven chances in the impressive win and scoring with a clever finish. The 11/8 with Sky Bet for a goal or an assist screams support.

RESULT PREDICTION: 2-3 | JONES KNOWS' BEST BET: Dejan Kulusevski to score or assist (13/8 at Sky Bet)
