Everton vs Bournemouth- betting tips and predictions

Vyom Chaudhary

Everton will be looking to get back to the winning ways in the league when they host Bournemouth at Goodison Park on Saturday. The fixture list hasn’t been kind to the Toffees in the initial part of the season, and they have played five of their last six fixtures away from home. This run includes league defeats against the likes of Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United. The Merseysiders are without a win in the league since the opening day, and they are currently 18th in the league table with just…

Premier League Season Review – Swansea City

Stephen Donovan

Swansea City: 12th FA Cup: Round Three Capital One Cup: Round Three After guiding the club to eighth and attaining 56 points in his first full season in charge, it was always going to be a difficult ask for Swansea manager Garry Monk to improve on that this time around. Still, he had players in form and full of confidence, and they looked well capable of fighting for another top half finish, so nobody could have envisaged that one of English (or indeed Welsh) football’s brightest coaching prospect would be out of a job by early December. It…

Newcastle vs Swansea – Premier League preview and team news

Stephen Donovan

Six games remain for Newcastle United to make an unlikely escape from relegation, and the first sees them take on a Swansea City side to whom they have lost in six of their last seven Premier League meetings. Performances such as the one which saw them surrender at Southampton last weekend are only serving to reinforce the feeling that Newcastle will be losing their top-flight status at the end of the season, and with a bit of a whimper. Half-hearted and lightweight defending contributed to the concession of three goals,…

Bournemouth vs Swansea – Premier League preview and team news

Stephen Donovan

Two clubs that have made huge strides towards achieving Premier League safety of late come together to fight for three more priceless points at the Vitality Stadium, as Bournemouth take on Swansea City. Although they were up against a Newcastle United side that offered very little in opposition, Bournemouth’s performance in their 3-1 win on Tyneside was one of a comfortable, established top-flight outfit. Exuding confidence, Eddie Howe’s men produced a show of fine free-flowing football that was backed up by a cutting edge as Josh King looked dangerous throughout,…

Swansea vs Norwich – Premier League preview and team news

Stephen Donovan

Swansea City will be hoping to continue their march clear of relegation danger by getting the better of Norwich City, who cannot afford yet another bad result in their own battle to achieve survival. March had the makings of a pivotal month for Swansea, but not many reckoned on them beginning it by going to Arsenal and winning for the second season in succession. It looked set to be a long evening without boss Francesco Guidolin on the touchline as their title-chasing opponents dominated the opening exchanges and took the lead…

Swansea vs Southampton – Premier League preview and team news

Stephen Donovan

Southampton will be aiming to collect their fifth win in six Premier League matches when they make the trip to South Wales to face Swansea City, who themselves have not lost in four outings. Aspects of Swansea’s performance in their 1-1 draw at home to Crystal Palace last weekend suggested that they are regaining the fluency and expression that has characterised much of their current stay in the Premier League. It was a shame from their point of view that their superiority over the piece was not reflected in the result,…

Swansea vs Crystal Palace – Premier League preview and team news

Stephen Donovan

Crystal Palace will be desperately seeking to end their run of five consecutive Premier League defeats as they head to Swansea City, for whom Francesco Guidolin takes charge of his first home game. The former Udinese boss was just moments away from making it two wins from two since assuming the reins at the Welsh club, but a failure to deal with a last-gasp corner and the ensuing goalmouth melee meant that they had to settle for a point at West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday. Even so, the signs are…

Swansea vs Arsenal – Premier League preview and team news

Stephen Donovan

Arsenal will be ready to pounce on any potential slip-ups by leaders Manchester City as they travel to South Wales for a tricky game against a Swansea City side that did the double over them last term. The hosts’ victory at lowly Aston Villa was a hugely welcome result after a build-up tinged by a number of malicious rumours concerning boss Garry Monk, who has done an exceptional job throughout his 20-month reign. It came after his first real run of poor results, culminating in an unimaginative display against Stoke…
