Premier League Cheat Sheet: Four betting angles for Boxing Day
There are nine Premier League games taking place on Boxing Day and here at BettingOdds.com we will have Previews on site for all the televised games. We've also created four individual 'Cheat Sheets' using our Premier League stats pages which should help provide some betting angles for your festive punting.
As always please gamble responsibly.
Wolves Cards
Wolves frontman and figure head Raúl Jiménez has been in the disciplinary bad books recently. He was the subject of one of the most bizarre red cards we've seen in recent Premier League history when he was booked twice in 30 seconds, firstly for a foul and secondly for failing to retreat the mandatory ten yards. Whilst this one may have been unlucky Jiménez is always worth a punt for a caution. The all action centre forward leads Wolves in fouls (24) and is ninth in the league overall. He has three yellow cards thus far this season and totalled seven in 2019/20 - his last full injury free season.
He's currently 4/1 at bet365 to receive another caution here. Referee Jarrod Gillett is averaging 4.25 yellows per game and is fond of dishing out cards.
Arsenal Shots
The 28-year-old Ghanaian Thomas Partey is probably known more for his tackling than shooting but the stats suggest otherwise. Partey has taken twenty five shots this season and is 4th in shots per game for Arsenal with 1.79. Unfortunately, only six of these have hit the target but in a game in which Arsenal should dominate possession and Partey will likely be in a more advanced position, it's highly probably one of his efforts should trouble the keeper. He's 7/4 at William Hill to have 1+ shots on target.
Everton Shots
It's time.... Dominic Calvert-Lewin is finally ready to return to the Everton side. In what should come as a massive boost to under fire Rafa Benitez, Calvert Lewin recently revealed he's hoping to be available for boxing day and with Richarlison out with injury he will surely start here?
DCL had a fantastic start to the season before his long term injury; scoring three in three and taking eleven shots in those. His conversion rate was fantastic with seven shots registered on target and we fancy him to do something similar here. He's 4/1 at William Hill to have 3+ shots on target. Against a struggling side in Burnley he should have plenty of opportunities. Remember to check the team line ups before betting to make sure Calvert-Lewin is starting.
Chelsea Cards
Antonio Rüdiger leads Chelsea for fouls with 18 and has picked up 3 yellow cards in the Premier League. However, in all competitions for club and country, this grows to 10 yellow cards in just 44 performances. In this match Rüdiger comes up against one of the trickiest strikers in the league in Ollie Watkins and also has the threats of Emiliano Buendia and Danny Ings to deal with.
Rudiger is 7/2 at Unibet to find himself in the book again here.
