Premier League Tips: Away teams to flourish this weekend

Bradley Johnson celebrates his first goal of the season against Stoke

It was three winners from six last week for Paul Robinson and he was just one goal away from landing a 21.0 (20/1) shot. As the Premier League hot's up, let's see what his selections are for this coming weekend.

Reading v Norwich
Back Norwich @ 3.25 (9/4)  
Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.8 (4/5)  
Reading are yet to win this season while Norwich have won three of their last four in all competitions, so 3.25 (9/4) about the Canaries looks too good a price to turn down.

Brian McDermott's side have struggled since returning to the top flight and given their solid defensive record last year, it's surprising that it's at the back where they've struggled. The Royals have conceded 18 goals so far this campaign and they've let leads slip in five of their nine Premier League fixtures. 

The Championship winners have broken up their back five to the point where Kaspars Gorkks is the only one who regularly features and while they are scoring their fair share of goals, if your defence is leaking like a sieve, you aren't going to win many matches at this level.

Chris Hughton had begun to come under fire from the Norwich faithful but progression in the Capital One Cup and seven points from a possible nine in the league have quietened the boo boys. His line ups were perhaps a touch too cautious earlier on in the campaign but the former Newcastle boss has restored Wes Hoolahan and he has pulled the strings for a rejuvenated Grant Holt.

They are yet to win in five trips away from Carrow Road this season but they dominated both Aston Villa and Spurs, and if they are on song, they should have enough to dispose of a poor Reading side in a game where plenty of goals should be on the menu.

Wigan v West Brom
Back West Brom @ 3.0 (2/1) 
Back Peter Odemwingie to score first @ 7.5 (13/2) 

Wigan are priced up as favourites for their clash with West Brom after their impressive win at White Hart Lane on Saturday, but consistency isn't something usually associated with the Latics and it's the Baggies that represent the value at 3.0 (2/1). 

Roberto Martinez's side are up to 13th place thanks to back to back wins in the Premier League. Usually slow starters, Wigan have come out the blocks like Usain Bolt compared to previous seasons but I still have my doubts about their ability to kick on from here.

The 3-4-3 formation has worked well for them with new striker, Arouna Kon, adding some cutting edge up front, however the victory over West Ham a fortnight ago was their first win at the DW Stadium this year. They are yet to keep a clean sheet and have conceded two goals in four of their five fixtures, plus they failed to even beat Bradford in the cup last week.

Steve Clarke has made the step up from assistant to manager with ease thus far and he has his West Brom side in fifth place. Admittedly, they have played six times at home and only four away - picking up just two points on their travels, but they were very unlucky to lose at Newcastle last time in a game that they arguably deserved to win. 

Last season's top scorer, Peter Odemwingie, can be a bit of a streaky player and given his return to form in the Monday night game against Southampton, he must be backed at 7.5 (13/2) to open the scoring, especially with penalties in his locker if Chris Brunt remains on the bench.

Chelsea v Liverpool
Back Liverpool @ 3.8 (14/5)  
Back Liverpool to win 2-1 @ 11.0 (10/1)  

There isn't a side with a better record at Stamford Bridge than Liverpool in recent seasons and I'm taking them to cause another upset on Sunday.

Chelsea made a flying start to their campaign and topped the table for a long while. They did have a kind run of fixtures though compared to their rivals and one point from their last two games shows that the Blues aren't going to have it all their own way this year.

Roberto Di Matteo will be boosted by returning skipper, John Terry, as Chelsea have conceded 10 goals in his absence. I still have question marks over the solidarity of their midfield against the better teams though as Mikel and Ramires don't quite do enough for me, and I think they could be dominated in the centre of the park.

Liverpool are struggling for victories but the signs are there, if they can just score a few more goals. Luis Suarez is in fine form, his goal against Newcastle was a sublime finish, but he has been left isolated at times as the Reds don't get many other men into the box for when the Uruguayan is in behind the opposition defence.

From the way they play, Brendan Rodgers's side will likely see more success away from home than at Anfield for now, especially in front of goal. They are more equipped to create chances when the opposition is coming on to them, which is something that Chelsea will surely do.

I can see both sides scoring but I really fancy Liverpool to nick the win, with 1-2 looking like a decent bet at 11.0 (10/1).
