Best bets for today's Premier League and Football League action

Brighton v Bournemouth

Bournemouth have won just one in nine and that victory came against Huddersfield, so manager Eddie Howe could probably do without a defensive injury crisis.

Charlie Daniels and Simon Francis are out and Diego Rico has joined them on the sidelines with an ankle injury.

Steve Cook returns for the Cherries, but he has struggled at times in the heart of defence this season and this looks a good opportunity for the Seagulls to grab three vital points in their fight against relegation.

Chris Hughton's side have won two of their last 11 matches but even though a hoped return for wideman Solly March has not materialised, they should be confident against their south-coast rivals, who have conceded at least two goal in ten of their last 11 away games.

Recommendation
Brighton
2pts 13-10 Betfair, Betway

West Brom v Preston

The Baggies conceded three early goals in their 3-2 defeat to Bristol City on Tuesday, but the return of defender Ahmed Hegazi should give them a stronger look in their home game against Preston.

Hegazi was sent off in their previous game, a 2-0 defeat at Millwall, but they should have too much for North End, who have lost their last three matches and are seeing their Sky Bet Championship playoff hopes slip away.

A return for Chris Brunt should make West Brom more creative and Preston boss Alex Neil has a hefty injury list.

They are boosted by a return to fitness for midfelder Paul Gallagher but it may not be enough.

Recommendation
West Brom
2pts 19-20 Sky Bet

Charlton v Luton

The Addicks are boosted by on-loan Arsenal midfielder Krystian Bielik's return from an ankle injury in their home game against Sky Bet League One leaders Luton.

Charlton have lost just one of 16 league games in 2019 and they could prove a match for the table-topping Hatters, who are without suspended striker James Collins and limped to a draw against Blackpool last week.

Recommendation
Charlton draw no bet
2pts 6-4 Betfred, Hills, RedZone
