Best Bet: Everton to win or tie (-127)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hottest team in England isn’t Liverpool or Arsenal, but rather Everton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Toffees have been surging under David Moyes, posting a. 4-2-1 record since he took over as manager for Sean Dyche in early January. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That includes a recent 2-2 draw against Manchester United and, more impressively, a 2-2 draw against Liverpool in the Merseyside Derby. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only match Moyes failed to pick up points in was a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa in his first game as a manager (while posting a nearly identical xG to Villa). Since then, he’s cashed this wager in six straight contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, Everton hits the road to take on a strong Brentford side. The Bees are 7-4-2 at home but that still means opponents are cashing this wager 46.1% of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brentford has conceded the seventh-most xG (41.4), according to FotMob. I expect Everton \u2014 which is averaging 2.3 goals across its last six games \u2014 to get on the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everton and Brentford drew the reverse fixture, 0-0, back in November. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Everton has a +3.8 xG differential under Moyes, per FBRef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tottenham\/Manchester City over 3.5 goals <\/strong>(-118)<\/strong><\/strong>: <\/strong>This season has been a disaster for both clubs, which have struggled to defend following a rash of injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scoring hasn’t been a problem for either side, though, and all signs point to a barn burner on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Tottenham ranks 16th in xG conceded (44.0) and sixth in xG created (44.3).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Man City ranks 10th in xG conceded (36.0) and fourth in xG created (47.5)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Tottenham thrashed Man City 4-0 at the Etihad in the reverse fixture earlier this season, showing how dangerous the Postecoglou’s attack can be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Spurs also scored four goals in their most recent fixture, a 4-1 win over Ipswich Town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    City was just blanked, 2-0, by Liverpool but had gone over this total in six straight league games beforehand while averaging 3.3 goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Four of the last six meetings between these clubs have gone over 3.5 goals, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
