15th Jan 2014 | Premier League
Lambs To The Slaughter
With 46 goals conceded already, Fulham have the worst defence in the Premier League, and by a distance.
The league leaders are at home to comfortably the worst defence in the top flight on Saturday so the general theme of this tip won’t come as a great surprise!
However, at best odds of 1/4 (BetVictor) simply backing an Arsenal win isn’t really going to cut it. Instead we have to use a little imagination to hunt around for some value and I think it’s found with PaddyPower offering 6/4 on the Gunners winning both halves.
With 46 goals conceded in 21 matches, Fulham have picked the ball out of their own net a lot more than the next worst defensive teams in the divison; Stoke and Norwich have conceded 35 each by comparison.
The Cottagers lost both halves at home to Sunderland at the weekend and conceded six in one half in their last away league fixture at Hull! Wenger’s boys have won five on the spin in all competitions and this is the proverbial home banker.
