We are looking for a highly-priced double on Saturday’s televised Premiership games to finish a successful 2006 on a high.

Charlton versus Aston Villa is the early game at the Valley and under the new tutelage of Alan Pardew during the week, the Addicks  were unlucky not to win against Fulham denied only by a remarkable late equaliser.

The South London side will still have that ‘honeymoon’ enthusiasm that comes along with a new boss and on the face of it, shouldn’t have to worry about the struggling visitors.

After an encouraging start under Martin O’Neill, Villa have lost their last three and their poor away record - just one win in ten - doesn’t bode well.

But we reckon this could be the time for Villa’s season to turn and at 11/8 with Betterbet.com, we think they are worth taking to beat a side, who, let’s face it, are not packed with quality.

The late afternoon game between Sheffield United and Arsenal, we believe, also promises a shock.

The Gunners struggled to beat Watford on Boxing Day and continue to blow hot and cold.

But regardless of the Londoners’ form, we think the Blades are due a change of luck. Too often this season, poor decisions and bad fortune have denied them deserved points and we think they have the style to upset the visitors.

Take Betterbet’s healthy 11/2 for United's third home win of the season.
