Both guys are friends to the under goals bettor.Across the last 15 head-to-head meetings between Moyes-led and Dyche-led sides, only 10 goals have been scored - that's 1.5 goals per game - with six of those fixtures going under 1.5 goals.It's 2/1 with Sky Bet for the game to go under that line again.SCORE PREDICTION: 0-0Manchester City vs Sunderland, Saturday 3pm - PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!If there is ever a weekend where the Premier League rips up the script and shocks are live, it's this one - the first Gameweek after a December midweek schedule. Manchester City are part of that sample size when scraping past Luton 2-1 in the 23/24 season despite going off 1/9 to win the match.And this week, City, still juggling rotations, searching for defensive cohesion and the allure of Real Madrid on the horizon, may just walk straight into the trap.Sunderland, who have beaten Chelsea and drawn to Liverpool and Arsenal this season, are worth a swing at 9/1 with Sky Bet to win but the shrewder play is for them on a +2 handicap at 11/10.SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2 | JONES KNOWS' BEST BET: Sunderland +2 handicap (11/10 with Sky Bet)Newcastle vs Burnley, Saturday 3pm - PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!This is a very different version of Kyle Walker to the one we saw at Manchester City.
And few wingers in the league attack defenders with as much tempo and directness as Anthony Gordon.SUPER 6: 600,000 players have backed a 2-0 or 3-0 win for The MagpiesHe's drawing 2.7 fouls per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season, elite numbers for a wide attacker, and he loves driving hard at full backs.Walker to make two or more fouls again is overpriced at 7/4 with Sky Bet.SCORE PREDICTION: 3-0 | JONES KNOWS' BEST BET: Kyle Walker to make +2 fouls (7/4 with Sky Bet)Tottenham vs Brentford, Saturday 3pm - PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!If the footballing gods have a sense of humour - and they do have previous - then Thomas Frank facing a Brentford side led by the set piece coach that Frank hired at Brentford, feels like a script already half-written.Frank left Brentford as the man who helped embed a set piece philosophy that became the envy of the league. Now he's in the opposite dugout with his new side still ironing out lots of flaws, this looks made for Keith Andrews to conjure up some set-piece mastery.SUPER 6: 250,000 players are expecting Frank's men to take all three points with a 2-1 win against his former clubFootball is a funny old game and one of Nathan Collins (12/1 with Sky Bet) or Sepp van den Berg (11/) to score would tickle me and betting balance.SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2Leeds vs Liverpool, Saturday 5.30pm, live on Sky Sports - PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!
The midfielder has been fouled eight times in his last four starts and across his last 31 club starts he's averaging 1.8 fouls won per-game.Only three teams have made more fouls since the start of last season than Brighton, who play a very high-tempo and aggressive game in midfield. Fulham to win at 8/5 with Sky Bet does the job.SCORE PREDICTION: 2-1Wolves vs Manchester United, Monday 8pm, live on Sky Sports Hold your breath, Wolves fans, this isn't going to be pretty.Wolves have joint-fewest points (2) after 14 games by any team in a top division season and have lost their last seven Premier League games, going 495 minutes without a goal.
