Premier League High Risk Accumulator 15/12/12

Manchester United v Sunderland: Verdict - Manchester United 2/9
West Brom v West Ham: Verdict - Draw 11/5
Stoke v Everton: Verdict - Draw 11/5

Treble at 12/1

Manchester United are by far the safest backing of the weekend, and we've included them in our higher-risk selection simply to get some mileage out of their wide price.
          West Brom are priced at evens to win this weekend and if you favour them over the draw then you're still looking at a fair price for your stake if you back them - or West Ham - as outright winners.  We're favouring a draw in this game and think that it could be a low-scoring affair with the two teams cancelling one another out over the course of the ninety.  West Ham have performed well in unlikely circumstances this weekend and have been one of the teams most readily underestimated by opposition, but we don't expect an away win.  This is one of the toughest games to call of the weekend regardless - which is why you may favour looking to include a Fulham double-chance instead for slightly shortened odds.
          If you overlook some inconsistent results then Everton are the team of the season - however, it's games like the trip to Stoke which can provide fans with frustration.  Stoke have not lost at home in the Premiership since February and although it's likely to be a team like Everton that overturns them eventually, we're expecting them to weather the Everton storm this weekend and cling to the record.  A tough game to call either way, which is why we're appeasing both sides by tipping the draw.
          If any of these are simply too risky for your liking then feel free to sub Arsenal in at 4/6, if you think they're in with a better chance against Reading this weekend.
          A patent backing (three singles, three doubles and a treble) might be a safer way to play if you're looking to back our high-risk picks this weekend - but this is a bet for you to buy into for talking points and not one to be spending big on - especially at this time of year.
          Good luck this weekend, whoever you choose to back, and follow us on twitter @tfpredictions.blogspot.com
