Our treble for Round 14 of English Premier League football includes tips for Norwich City v Arsenal, Leicester v Everton and Manchester United v Aston Villa with the odds boosted by @Olimp_SA
Round 13 saw our treble arrive thanks to Leicester's win at Brighton, over 2.5 goals in the Watford v Burnley game and both teams scoring in the Man City v Chelsea match. The odds were boosted to 7.30 by @Olimp_SA and given we started this feature with a 7.50 treble in Round 12, we are now bidding for a hat-trick.
Our focus this weekend is on Sunday's matches.
Leg 1 Norwich City v Arsenal
Norwich came away from Everton which a much needed 2-0 victory last week and they moved off the bottom of the log. They remain in the drop zone although at the end of Round 13 they were just 3 points from safety. Norwich have won 2 and lost 4 of their 6 Premier League home fixtures this season. The wins came against Newcastle (3-1) and Manchester City (3-2) whilst Chelsea (3-2), Aston Villa (5-1), Manchester United (3-1) and Watford (2-0) have all left Carrow Road with maximum points.
Arsenal needed a very late equalizer to salvage a 2-2 draw at home to Southampton last week, they finished the round in eighth position and it's now 5 league games without a win. The Gunners only win away from home this season came at Newcastle on the opening weekend. Visits to Watford and Manchester United ended in score draws and Arsenal were beaten at Liverpool, Sheffield United and Leicester.
When you look at Arsenal's form and particularly their away record there isn't too much encouragement but we are going to include the away win as the first leg of the treble. After missing a number of games through injury Lacazette scored twice last week and his likely partnership with Aubameyang might be too much for a Norwich defence which has shipped plenty of goals in earlier home games.
Prediction: Arsenal to win

Leg 2 Leicester City v Everton
Leicester have been our darlings over the last couple of rounds and they come into the weekend program in second place, 8 points behind Liverpool. In their most recent home game we sided with them to beat Arsenal and last week they got the vote to take maximum points from a trip to Brighton. Leicester won both those matches 2-0 and they have now won 7 of their last 8 league games. Leicester's home record comprises of a 0-0 draw with Wolves on the opening weekend followed by 5 successive wins and backers of over 2.5 goals collected on 4 of 6 occasions.
Every time Everton show signs of turning the corner they seem to take 2 steps backwards. They were 2-1 winners at Southampton recently but last time out they lost 2-0 at home to struggling Norwich and they are far to close to the relegation zone for comfort. Everton have taken just 4 points from 6 away fixtures, 3 of which went over 2.5 goals.
Leicester have found the net at least twice in 9 of their last 11 league matches and although it's less clear cut as to whether Everton can contribute to the scoring, over 2.5 total match goals makes it into the play.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
Leg 3 Manchester United v Aston Villa
United came from 2-0 down to lead 3-2 at Sheffield United last week before a late equalizer saw a thrilling game finish 3-3. They return to Old Trafford in a mid table position and all of 9 points off a top 4 spot. Home form comprises of 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat.
Villa picked up a crucial 2-0 home win over Newcastle on Monday night, a result which gave them 4 points worth of daylight over third bottom Norwich. They now go about trying to improve an away record which consists of a 5-1 win at Norwich alongside 5 defeats but Villa have at least found the net in 4 of those road trips including visits to the likes of Arsenal and Spurs.
It's 8 league games since United kept a clean sheet and they still look like work in progress. Villa will take plenty from their win over Newcastle and although they are not in the habit of preventing the opposition from scoring when they travel, the visitors could still be a handful here. Both teams can find the net in this game.
Prediction: Both teams to Score
