Barclays Premier League Tips- 29-30/11

There's 8 games this Saturday in the Barclays Premier League, starting with the early kick-off from The Hawthorns as West Brom take on Arsenal. There have been 20 goals in West Brom's 6 home games so far this season, and there could be a few more to come here.
In the 3 o'clock kick-offs Burnley host Villa, Stoke travel to Anfield, United welcome Hull City, Leicester travel to QPR, Swansea host Palace and the in-form Newcastle travel down to Upton Park.

BURNLEY V ASTON VILLA - VILLA WIN (11/4)

Two of Villa's 3 wins have come away from home in the league this season, although they're not scoring many, with only 2 goals away from home in 6 games, but did look more threatening in their last game, on the counter attack especially, against Southampton.
Burnley have come into form a little with their 2 quick-fire wins, but have only one win in 6 games at home, conceding 9 goals.


QPR V LEICESTER - QPR WIN (5/4)

Only one win in the last 6 for Redknapp's side, but their best form comes at home, with 2 wins, 2 draws from 6, scoring 9 goals.
Leicester haven't scored in their last 5 league games, since scoring 2 against Burnley in October, and have just 1 win, and 1 goal away from home in the league.


WEEKEND DOUBLE

SOUTHAMPTON and EVERTON WIN (around 8-9/1)

RIP Phillip Hughes

It's been a week where the world of sport has joined together to mark it's respect to the Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes, who passed away, two days after being struck on the back of the neck by a ball in a domestic match in Sydney. He was just 25.

I join everyone, by saying RIP to Phillip Hughes, and thoughts go out to family and friends, and in particular, 22-year old Sean Abbott, the bowler of the delivery that struck Hughes. It was an absolute tragedy, and everyone will be behind you to support you, keep strong.

It's clear to see by all the messages over the past couple of days, that this man was not only a very talented sportsman, but a genuine guy that was close to many. Always remembered as #63notout
