Antonio Valencia to score at any time against Stoke – 11/4

The Tipster feels that Valencia has been United’s best player in 2012. The Ecuador winger has provided eight assists in his last eight league matches – and the 26-year-old opened the scoring in the Red Devils’ 2-1 victory at Arsenal in United’s last league game. Always a threat in front of goal, an in-form Valencia to score at any time at Old Trafford is excellent value at 11/4.

Chelsea to draw with Swansea – 13/5

If Swansea manage to avoid relegation this season, it will be thanks to their excellent home form – 20 of their 26 points have come at the Liberty Stadium and defending champions Manchester United are the only side to have won there. With a misfiring Fernando Torres leading the Chelsea line and Swansea’s impressive defensive record at home, Chelsea to draw against Swansea is the value bet in this one at 13/5.

Manchester City to beat Everton without conceding – 15/8

The tie between Everton and Manchester City promises to be a much tamer affair then the league leaders’ trip to Anfield last Wednesday. Everton have struggled for goals this season, scoring just 11 in 11 games and conceding 13. Roberto Mancini’s men are the league’s top scorers with 60 goals. And with City skipper Vincent Kompany set to return from suspension to boost their back four, the Eastlands outfit to beat Everton without conceding looks a very solid shout at 15/8.

Over 2.5 goals in Wolves v Liverpool – Evens

Molineux holds good memories for Kenny Dalglish after Torres’ brace and Raul Meireles’ stunning goal secured the 60-year-old’s first victory of his second spell in charge of the Reds last year. Mick McCarthy’s Wolves have conceded two or more goals in each of their last four matches at home, while Liverpool have scored four times in their last two games. Evens for over 2.5 goals here is a no-brainer.

The long shot: Tottenham to beat Wigan by one goal – 3/1

Spurs are widely expected to comfortably beat Wigan at White Hart Lane on Tuesday night but the Tipster is unconvinced. Roberto Martinez’s side may be rooted to the foot of the table but the Latics have never lacked commitment or desire. Spurs were beaten 3-2 by City in their last league game and with confidence a little fragile, Harry Redknapp’s side to beat Wigan by just one goal is a more-than-solid bet at 3/1.
