As dramatic turnarounds go, Newcastle’s has been pretty impressive, the Magpies having now won four on the spin in all competitions and bookies are crediting Alan Pardew with the resurgence, meaning the manager has gone from a long odds-on favourite to 33/1 with William Hill to be the next Premier League boss out of a job.

Pardew next takes his buoyant team to West Brom, themselves on the up and the Baggies are expected to nick it, Ladbrokes installing them as 13/10 favourites at the Hawthorns, where Newcastle are BetVictor’s 12/5 underdogs.

Nevertheless, as the teams are in adjacent positions, locked on 13 points, Stan James’s 5/2 about a stalemate will be popular amongst neutrals, while bet365 rate a score draw at 10/3 and it’s 6/1 (betway) to finish 1-1.

Stan James give the Magpies a goal start in the handicaps at odds of 8/13 but United are on a roll and supporters will surely believe their run can continue.

Subsequently, they might be keen to back a second consecutive 1-0 Magpies success at 11/1 (bet365) or Paddy Power’s 10/1 about a 2-1 triumph while Ayoze Perez has struck the winner in each of Newcastle’s last two league matches and is 8/1 (BetVictor) to net first.

Sunderland picked up their first away win of the campaign on Monday, beating Crystal Palace 3-1 but bookies were seemingly unimpressed by their Black Cats’ Selhurst Park showing and are tipping them to suffer a third defeat in four as they entertain Everton.

Gus Poyet’s charges are BetVictor’s 29/10 underdogs at the Stadium of Light, where the visitors are Stan James’s 21/20 favourites and it’s 13/5 with bet365 to finish all square.

Three of the hosts’ five fixtures on their own patch have proven inconclusive, lending appeal to BetVictor’s 15/4 about a score draw. Paddy Power quote a 1-1 scoreline at 6/1 and it’s 9/2 via William Hill for the teams to be inseparable when the referee calls a halt to each half.

Bet365 chalk the Black Cats up at 7/4 in their ‘Draw No Bet’ market, but Monday’s positive performance will give Poyet’s troops confidence and Winner.com make them 9/2 to prevail by one.

Punters expecting both teams to score (8/11, Stan James) can back Sunderland at 13/1 with BetVictor to finish on the right side of a 2-1 scoreline and the opener is 7/1 (Skybet) to again be struck by Steven Fletcher.

Back-to-back emphatic victories have carried Middlesbrough into the top two in the Championship and Aitor Karanka’s side are now just 9/2 with Stan James to be crowned champions.

Boro can claim top spot this afternoon as they go head-to-head with leaders Bournemouth, bet365 making them 13/10 favourites to overhaul the Cherries (12/5, BetVictor) and Skybet chalking the pair up at a potentially popular 12/5 to finish level.

BetVictor rate a 1-1 scoreline at 13/2 but home advantage should give Boro the upper hand and they’re 3/1 at Winner.com to edge the Riverside showdown by a one-goal margin.

Paddy Power offer 8/1 about a 2-1 victory for Karanka’s team, who are 11/4 (betway) to lead at the end of each half and it’s 10/3 with William Hill for the hosts to prevail but without keeping a clean sheet. Patrick Bamford is a 13/2 chance via bet365 to open the scoring.

in the FA Cup, Hartlepool look to avoid an upset as they host East Thurrock but they should be too strong for the non-league club and bookies agree, Ladbrokes rating Pools as 4/9 favourites.
