Premier League

Harry the tipster is back after the international break to give his betting advice for Crystal Palace against the Hammers.

The action and excitement of the Premier League is finally back after the turgid round of World Cup qualifiers.

Palace go into the London derby with West Ham in the Saturday tea-time game in decent form with just one defeat in the last seven matches in all competitions.

The hapless Hammers are third-bottom with only one league success from their seven fixtures and are leaking goals like the proverbial sieve. Wonder if they miss James Tomkins? It's no surprise they are out at 3/1 for the win with BetBright.

Belgian bruiser Christian Benteke is in a rich vein of form and I fancy him for the first scorer at 9/2 with bet365.

An interesting side bet is 22/1 there being a red card – there's been sendings off in the sides' last three fixtures.

Three of the last four match-ups have ended 3-1 and the last four meetings went over 3.5 goals. The Eagles just cannot keep a clean sheet but I fancy them to emerge victorious at that 3-1 scoreline, so I'm all over the 16/1 bet with bet365.
