Football Bet of the Day: In-form Canaries to cause an upset

After kicking off with a winner, Kev's opposing a Premier League side in the League Cup.

Much-changed Cherries could come unstuck

Bournemouth v Norwich
Tuesday 30 October, 19:45
Our old pals Molde came through once again for us last night, as their 3-1 win at Start comfortably covered our Over 2.5 Goals bet. We'll head to England now, because the League Cup has reached the fourth round, and either Bournemouth or Norwich will reach the quarter-finals tonight.
Bournemouth have made an outstanding start to the Premier League season, collecting 20 points from their first ten games. You would think that would give Cherries boss Eddie Howethe breathing space to take a proper swing at this competition and field a full-strength side, but he has decided to once again shuffle his pack.
Howe's team plays an attractive brand of football, and their recent games have featured plenty of goals. Nine of their last 11 games in league and cup have seen an Over 2.5 Goalsbet land. At home, five of Bournemouth's last six games have contained three goals or more.
Norwich City have had their ups and downs under German coach Daniel Farke, but they are currently heading in the right direction, having won their last three Championship matches to move up to fourth, just two points behind the leaders Sheffield United. If you stretch back further, they have won eight of their last ten matches.
Farke says Bournemouth are clear favourites, but it does sound like Eddie Howe will make changes to his side, and in-form Norwich could exploit that. The Canaries are unbeaten in seven away games, and won at Cardiff earlier in the competition.
At 1.61, Bournemouth seem a bit too short to me to win in 90 minutes, so I'll lay the hosts.

Lay Bournemouth at 1.61

Southampton v Arsenal: Gunners set for a night of frustration

Southampton v Arsenal Wednesday, 19:45 Southampton  Claude Puel has done a decent job at Southampton this season, but his future at the club could rest on how well his team performs in their last four games of the season. The Saints can finish as high as eighth or as low as 16th. A bottom-half finish could be enough to seal the fate of the former Nice manager, with rumours suggesting that the club hierarchy are considering his future. It's true that Southampton's Premier League campaign has been rather underwhelming, with the side struggling to find any consistency this season, yet Puel did guide them to the EFL Cup final. He's inherited a weaker squad than previous managers enjoyed, which has lacked firepower for much of the season. Charlie Austin could return against Arsenal to help to solve that problem, while the defender Matt Targett is another player in contention. Virgil can Dijk remains out. Arsenal The Gunners gave themselves hope o...
