Match preview

With both of Newcastle’s primary right-backs unavailable through injury against West Ham, Emil Krafth is likely to fill in and the Swede is fancied to pick up a yellow card.

The 27-year-old has picked up six bookings in 20 starts over the last two seasons and is likely to be lining up against a tricky Hammers forward line, possibly featuring Jarrod Bowen, Said Benrahama and Manuel Lanzini.

The Magpies have picked up the second-most yellows in the league this year and Krafth is fancied at 5-1 to add to the tally.

With Diogo Jota picking up an injury against Inter in the Champions League and Mo Salah playing 90 minutes after an extensive Afcon campaign, new Liverpool signing Luis Diaz may be in from the start against Norwich as Jurgen Klopp shuffles the pack.

The Colombian scored 14 in 18 league games for Porto earlier this season and could get his first for the Reds against a Norwich side who have conceded at least three on the two occasions these teams have met this season.

Aston Villa will be looking for an improved performance when they face Watford having taken just one point from two winnable games since the winter break.

Ollie Watkins has failed to score in six games so Danny Ings may well come in to replace the striker and can get on the scoresheet.

Ings has four goals in his last three league appearances against the Hornets and will probably be the home side's penalty-taker. Odds of 9-5 about him scoring at any time could prove generous.

Another player fancied for a goal in the same game is Villa youngster Jacob Ramsey.

The midfielder has five goals in this campaign and the 4-1 available for him to get another with bet365 is double what other firms are offering.
