everton-hope-to-halt-own-goal-streakPremier League teams needn’t fear anymore as the sports news is good as regards the grueling festive and New Year fixture list. As of 10pm tomorrow night the period will have ceased and with any luck the online sports betting sites will have cleared up after a number of upsets at the top of the league. Alas we can dream of the title race being busted wide open, but there’s plenty of novelty to be had when you look at the midweek’s program of games.

One team who are about to be hit hard by the upcoming Asia Cup is Everton, who sit in the lower echelons of the Premier League. Their main goal scoring threat is Tim Cahill, who will be turning out for Australia in the upcoming Asia Cup. This means they’ll be deprived of his services for most of January, and with the other strikers only managing to muster three goals between them, the novelty bets are coming thick and fast, as Stan James’ Charlie McCann explains.

“It is symbolic of Everton’s season that they have conceded as many own goals in the last three Premier League fixtures as their strikers Jermaine Beckford (2), Yakubu (1) and Louis Saha (0) have scored at the right end all season. Without Tim Cahill’s 9 PL goals Everton would be in even more trouble than they are at present and with the Aussie away at the Asia Cup they will be desperate for one of the strikers to find the net. But can their more prolific defenders keep their unwanted record going?”

Tottenham are the visitors to Goodison tomorrow night and Stan James are offering odds of 14/1 for the own goals streak to continue, and we for one would ask that manager David Moyes makes sure it’s as spectacular as possible. If Marouane Fellaini is to be the scorer, a pirouette, somersault, before a bicycle kick will suffice.
