August 20th: Sunday’s English Double – 6/1 Special, Tips & Predictions

On a Sunday schedule that is highlighted by Chelsea’s trip across London to West Ham, we certainly have an eye-catching afternoon of English fixtures.

So, for those of you that are looking to chuck on a Sunday flutter, we have found a pair of interesting contests that can offer a great return for your bet.

12:00 Norwich vs Millwall

Coming under real scrutiny last season as they eventually had to settle for a bottom-half finish, it is no secret that Norwich are seeking some much-needed stability this time around. However, now under the guidance of ex-Huddersfield boss David Wagner, Sunday’s hosts now have their sights firmly set on clinching a Premier League return in 2024.

Enjoying what has been an eye-catching start to the new campaign, the Canaries were also last seen earlier in the week putting in another gritty performance away from Carrow Road.

Extending on their EFL Cup adventure as they snatched a last-gasp 1-0 victory away at QPR, Norwich will be smelling the chance to make another statement when they return to East Anglia on Sunday afternoon.

Opening the 2023/24 campaign with a 2-1 win at home against Hull, Wagner’s men will be looking to cash in on a Millwall squad that are enduring a public recent wobble.

While the Lions might also be dreaming of the chance to mount their own play-off charge this season, Sunday’s guests have now suffered back-to-back defeats across all competitions and are showing some rather glaring struggles in the final third.

Slumping to a stunning 4-0 drumming at home against League One outfit Reading on August 8th, Millwall should be worried by a nightmare record at Carrow Road.

Suffering a 2-0 loss when they travelled to East Anglia last season, it should be noted that Gary Rowett’s men are without a single win from their previous 13 trips to Norwich.

Notching just a single strike from their opening three appearances across all competitions, we are expecting a home victory for the promotion contenders this weekend.

14:00 Aston Villa vs Everton

Opening up the 2023/24 campaign with a nightmare performance in the north east, there is no doubt that Aston Villa will be seeking an immediate response on Sunday afternoon. Eventually slumping to a 5-1 drumming at the hands of Newcastle, Unai Emery’s men will be confident of proving that display was nothing more than a minor blip.

Gaining a string of plaudits last season as they welcomed the one-time Arsenal boss to the Midlands 10 months ago, Villa certainly made real history as they punched their Europa Conference League ticket.

Enjoying what was a stunning flurry after returning from the World Cup’s winter break, fans around Villa Park will be calling on their new attacking icon to spearhead their charge on Sunday afternoon.

Bagging what was a consolation strike at St. James’ Park last weekend and making an immediate impact since arriving from German outfit Bayer Leverkusen this summer, Moussa Diaby has now notched three strikes in his opening five appearances across all competitions.

Really catching the eye during Villa’s pre-season tour of the United States, the 24-year-old should be relishing Everton’s arrival this weekend.

While the Blues might have just about clung to their Premier League status last season, it is no secret that Sean Dyche’s men are in the midst of an extended crisis.

Opening the 2023/24 campaign with a shock 1-0 loss at home against Fulham, many around Goodison Park are fearing that their side will be at the heart of another relegation scrap this time around.

Likewise, suffering a 2-0 defeat when they welcomed Villa to Merseyside back on February 25th, it should also be noted that Everton have lost each of their last four straight meetings against Sunday’s hosts by an aggregate score of 8-1.
