Premier League Preview and Betting Tips: Matheus Cunha Key to Halting Newcastle

Sean Dyche's tenure at Everton had come to an end, but the decision to appoint David Moyes as his replacement, a manager known for his pragmatic football philosophy, seems baffling to me.

At least it makes my job a little easier with Moyes unlikely to change too much stylistically so there isn't the unknown from a decision-making perspective.

That makes the both teams to score 'no' quite attractive at 10/11 with Sky Bet considering it's landed in 10 of Everton's last 11 games.

SCORE PREDICTION: 0-0

Crystal Palace are going to see plenty of my money between now and the end of the season. I've always liked Oliver Glasner and his way of working.

Palace are a difficult team to play through out of possession as they press very efficiently and create big chances for themselves as their front three are all encouraged to play very centrally.

It's a dangerous balance. There are signs that Eberechi Eze is starting to rediscover his sharp form after injury issues and this looks a fixture where he can flourish against some ponderous Leicester City defenders.

Eze to score in an away win rates a fair selection at 3/1 with Sky Bet.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2

Matheus Cunha is back from his suspension and has been pushed even more to the fore under Vitor Pereria, playing a little deeper than we've seen as he's been tasked with getting on the ball more in midfield.

That switch to playing in that area of the pitch has helped to see his tackle count rise. He's made at least two tackles in all three of his appearances under Pereria, including despite only playing 45 minutes against Tottenham.

The Newcastle central midfield trio of Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton and Sandro Tonali are a tackle-heavy bunch so I'm expecting Cunha to keep up his average. The 8/11 for 2+ tackles and 2/1 for 3+ tackles are great value with Sky Bet.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-2 | JONES KNOWS' BEST BET: Matheus Cunha 3+ tackles (2/1 with Sky Bet)

Sign me up for this game. It could be chaos. It's the Tottenham way.

Much of that chaos could be raining down on Spurs from set pieces.

They still don't care about defending under Ange Postecoglou and they certainly don't care about being strong at defending set pieces. From all their corners faced this season, they are offering up a shot every 0.52 corners which is the worst record in the Premier League.

Step forward Gabiel then. The Brazilian has had 14 headed attempts in 18 Premier League games this season and is the key man for when Arsenal work their set piece magic.

Meanwhile, eight of the last 12 centre-backs to face Spurs have had an attempt at goal - including both of Wolves and Southampton's centre-halves.

All this equates to Gabriel having a headed shot on target at 5/2 with Sky Bet as a play to ponder in a game where all three results are live.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-2
