Dale Tempest: Play the yankee

[sake]

I'm going for something a little bit different in a bid to pay for Christmas and it's a bet I'm getting really excited about the more I look at it.

We're one of only two firms that offer first team goalscorers and there are several players who leap off the page this weekend.

They are QPR's Charlie Austin, Swansea's Wilfried Bony, Burnley's Danny Ings and Wayne Rooney, whose Manchester United host Hull.

All four take penalties and all four are at home to what appear to be the weakest teams in the division.

Swansea performed really well at the Etihad last time and look banker material against Crystal Palace, while Burnley are bound to be on a high after winning at Stoke - in which Ings bagged a brace.

QPR face Leicester, who have struggled except for beating Manchester United, and Austin is superb value at 11/4 to be the home side's first goalscorer. Rooney is also in good form after his latest strike at the Emirates and you couldn't say the same about Robin van Persie, who helps shape the market.

All four to score first for their teams pays a massive 273/1 and I'll be playing the Yankee - doubles, trebles and the four-fold accumulator.

If you want to take it to another level then add Alexis Sanchez and Sergio Aguero, arguably the best two players in the league, but for me the Yankee is more than enough.

Everyone will be getting giddy about how many Chelsea are going to run in at Sunderland but I'm a great believer that Jose Mourinho's sides only do enough and I'll be looking to get an edge by backing under 2.5 goals.

Gus Poyet's men have kept clean sheets against Swansea and Arsenal at home this season and I can see Chelsea going in front and shutting up shop.

Talking of clean sheets, Burnley have kept seven in the Premier League now and should be backed to beat Aston Villa to nil. The same bet could pay off for QPR against Leicester.
