Swansea question mark
Swansea v Newcastle
Premier League
7.45pm, BT SPORT
Huge night of Premier League action and by virtue of where the TV cameras are most betting interest will be at the Liberty Stadium for the visit of Newcastle. We got a nice profit with a lay on total goals last night in the Crystal Palace v West Ham game which finished 1-0.
It’s going to be a huge night of Premier League drama.
Arsenal v Hull 19:45
Liverpool v Norwich 19:45
Man Utd v Everton 19:45
Southampton v Aston Villa 19:45
Stoke v Cardiff 19:45

Swansea v Newcastle 19:45
Fulham v Tottenham 20:00
West Brom v Man City 20:00
I’m full of admiration for Swansea but think they are too short here. My theory on Swansea is that they are beginning to run out of steam. Possibly the Europa League commitments beginning to show. They certainly looked jaded when beaten 1-0 by Valencia in their latest match and offered little resistance against Man City in the Premier League on Sunday.
They are up against a full-strength Newcastle side tonight who won ALL their games in November and look very tempting tonight to make it five wins on the spin, even though Swansea won both matches last season.

Interestingly, Swansea’s only home win in the Premier League this season came when they defeated Sunderland 4-0 in October, although it could be argued with some justification that they were unfortunate not to beat Stoke last month.
Selling Swansea at around 0.2 with Star Spreads is the call.
