Premiership Football Tips
Everton (3.75) v Chelsea (2.20); Draw (3.30)
Title favourites Chelsea will be looking to maintain their 100% start to the season, with a trip to Goodison Park in the late-kick off on Saturday.
The Blues are sweating on the fitness of leading striker Diego Costa, with Stamford Bridge legend Didier Drogba likely to deputise in the Spanish player’s absence.
Chelsea have failed to score in any of their last four visits to Goodison Park, but the introduction of Cesc Fabregas in midfield has boosted the club’s creativity and goalscoring chances.
Opponents Everton could hand a debut to former-Chelsea striker Samuel Eto’o, with record signing Romelu Lukaku picking up an injury last time out against Arsenal.
Everton have won just two of their last seven games in the Premier League, but the Toffees have scored at least two goals in each of their last seven games.
Last season Everton inflicted Chelsea’s first defeat of their Premier League campaign, but the Blues have improved since then and the West London outfit could pick up another win this weekend.

Chelsea 0 Asian Handicap @1.525
Swansea (1.85) v West Brom (4.75); Draw (3.60)
Swansea will be looking to maintain their winning start to the season, with West Brom the visitors to the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.
The Swans picked up a good 1-0 win over Rotherham in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday, with goalscorer Bafetimbi Gomis pushing for a start.
The Welsh side have won four of their last six meetings in the Premier League, but the Baggies have come away with all three points in two of their last three top-flight encounters.
Opponents West Brom have sealed the signings of Georgios Samras and Silvestre Varela in the week, but both players lack the match fitness to play.
West Brom drew more games (15) than any other side in the Premier League last season and have started this campaign with two more.
A lot of the Baggies fortune this weekend may rest with the form of Saido Berahino, who could become a big player for Alan Irvine’s side this term.

West Brom +0.5 Asian Handicap @2.075
Newcastle (1.75) v Crystal Palace (5.25); Draw (3.75)
Neil Warnock will kick-off his second term in charge of the Eagles on Saturday, with hosts Newcastle the opponents in the Premier League.
Manchester United loanee Wilfried Zaha could come straight into the squad, whilst Jason Puncheon returns from a one-match ban; pace that could prove useful on the break this weekend.
Hosts Newcastle United have yet to score in the Premiership this season, with the Magpies winning just one of their last 10 games in the division.
Goals remain a real concern for Alan Pardew’s side but summer signing Siem de Jong is at least in-line to start this weekend.
Newcastle have scored just 14 goals in the Premier League in 2014 and the arrival of manager Neil Warnock should provide the Eagles with the necessary lift on Saturday.
