Happy new month to all fans of Soccertalk, thanks to all for keeping it real with us thus far. The new month starts on a footballing note and so an opportunity to add a few thousands to your account this weekend. Here is our top picks for the weekend@betsmart.

1. EVERTON VS SWANSEA
When Everton are at home, goals are a guarantee: nobody has generated as many goals in front of their own fans as the Toffees, with games at Goodison Park averaging of 5.25 goals scored. Moreover, 10 of Swansea's last 12 away games have seen both teams score. Barring any upset expect to see the following in this match

*Both teams to score@ 1.70
*over 1.5goals@ 1.22
*over 2.5goals@ 1.75

Pick your betting choice relative to the level of risk you are willing to take.

2. ARSENAL VS BURNLEY

Arsenal come into this game after a decent run of 2 successive victories after losing and drawing a lot of games in the middle. They have finally
returned to some scoring form, netting 2 in their last 3 games in a row now, and will be looking to repeat a similar performance to the 2-0 over Sunderland last week. Burnley have been struggling, look certain for the drop in my eyes, having not won a single game so far this campaign. They got trounced 3-1 by West Ham and Everton at home, so expect a similar kind of performance as they travel to the Emirates to take on Arsenal. Burnley have conceded 16 goals in 9 games, and the Arsenal attack will be licking their lips to win this game in order to push into the top four. I see an Arsenal win here

*Arsenal straight win@ 1.30
*Arsenal double chance@ 1.07
*Arsenal to win and by over 1.5goals@ 1.35

3. MAN.CITY VS MAN.UTD

Derbies are always unpredictable, lot of factors determines the end result. But one sure thing about a derby is that they are always fiery! Tackles flighs high and hard, temper boils and cards are shown. Derby like any game involving two top teams or rivals always produces caution and cards. The last time City hosted Chelsea here over 11 cards were shown. Last week when United hosted Chelsea over 7+ cards were shown. There may be goals here but not as certain as cards.

*over 3.5cards@ 1.16
*over 4.5cards@ 1.40
*over 5.5cards@ 1.85
Choose according to risk level

4. SAMPDORIA VS FIORENTINA

Here is a game between two of most defensively organised teams in Serie A - but that doesn't necessarily mean being a defensive team. Mihajlovic has built an intense Sampdoria team who press from the front, while Montella has
concentrated more on his team's defence this season and that has cost them goals of their own. Sampdoria have the best home defence in Serie A - only 1 goal conceded; Fiorentina have the the 2nd best away - 4 goals conceded. The teams have played 18 league games between them this season, with 14 of them going under 2.5.

*Under 2.5goals@ 1.65
*Under 3.5goals@ 1.22
*Under 1.5goals in 1st half@ 1.35


5. ATHLETIC BILBAO VS SEVILLA

On current form, these two teams are miles apart. The hosts currently sit just 3 points above the relegation zone, while Sevilla come into the fixture 2nd in La Liga on goal difference. Sevilla should nick a win here

*Sevilla straight win@ 2.90
*Sevilla double chance@ 1.50
*Sevilla with 2goals headstart/handicap and to win.@ 1.16
