NJ's Premier League Weekend

By Nishant Joshi

Just a quick preview this morning as I've spent the best part of a day trekking across the continent in a vain attempt to get home. 2 delayed flights and 3 snowed-out runways later, here I am. After travelling for 10 hours in what should have been a quick journey, I have come to one conclusion: hogging armrests in an airplane should be punishable by a slow and tortuous death.

After having scored 2 midweek in a riveting Champions League match, Wayne Rooney is arguably the form player on the planet. 21 goals in the Premier League this season, and the man is on fire. Boylesports offer best price on Rooney to score at Goodison Park this weekend, and it's a price we simply must take.

We successfully opposed Burnley away to Fulham, and we'll keep opposing them away from home against a solid Villa side. Burnley boast the shocking away record of 0-1-12, with equally unimpressive recent form of 0-1-5 leading into this match. Villa's exceptional defence has been the bedrock of their season, thanks to the likes of the ever-present Richard Dunne and the much-improved Stephen Warnock. Having conceded just 8 goals at home, we can back Villa to confidently dispose of a Burnley side low on confidence.

NJ's Bets:

Wayne Rooney to score - 3.5pts @ 2.38 (Boylesports)

Aston Villa to beat Burnley -1.5 AH - 3.5pts @ 2.1 (Paddy Power)
