Football betting tips: Premier League
1pt Jordan Pickford to be shown a card at 13/2 (bet365)
Everton’s fate is in their own hands. A dangerous president, how they will handle it remains to be seen.
Victory will undoubtedly confirm another term in the Premier League, a draw may also see the Toffees in the top flight for another campaign, if Leicester fail to beat West Ham.
Sean Dyche’s side are heavy favourites in this contest with Bournemouth, a textbook example of the occasion trumping logic.
Kick-off time: 16:30 BST, Sunday
TV channel: Sky Sports Main Event
Everton 4/9 | Draw 7/2 | Bournemouth 11/2
Given the circumstances, it would be foolish not to tout JORDAN PICKFORD TO BE SHOWN A CARD.
Only Emi Martinez can rival Everton’s shot stopper when it comes to gamesmanship, the former picking up seven cards and the latter five.
The hosts need to win, their odds imply they have a 69% chance of doing so and if they get their noses in front, Pickford will pull out all the stocks.
His five bookings this campaign take his career tally to 23, showcasing his impressive repertoire.
Not all of his cards are for time wasting antics though, England’s number one has picked up a booking for an argument this season, he also is prone to rash tackle or a head loss.
Given the magnitude of the game, siding with the occasion overwhelming him seems logical, regardless of the outcome.
