The English Premiership continues this weekend and we take a look at 3 of the matches taking place on Saturday from a betting angle.
CRYSTAL PALACE v TOTTENHAM
Palace have got off to a shaky start having lost their opener 3-0 away at Chelsea which they followed with draws at home to Brentford and away at West Ham. They currently sit 14th on the log.
Tottenham have got off to the perfect start and they are the only side with a 100% record after 3 games. They beat Manchester City 1-0 at home and got the same score lines away at Wolves and at home to Watford.
Palace have a good recent record at home to Tottenham having drawn the last 2 League fixtures played here.

Crystal Palace 63/20
Draw 5/2
Tottenham 19/20
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Tottenham Hotspur (-1), the draw at 27/10
For this bet to arrive we need Tottenham to win by exactly 1 goal, something they have achieved in their previous 3 EPL matches.
MANCHESTER UNITED v NEWCASTLE
United are undefeated this season with 2 wins and a draw in their opening 3 games. They began their campaign at home against Leeds with a thumping 5-1 victory and then drew 1-1 at Southampton and edged Wolves 1-0 on the road last time out.
Newcastle are sitting 17th on the log having taken just 1 point from the opening 9 they have played for. They have had back-to-back defeats at home to West Ham and away at Villa and picked up their first point with a 2-2 draw at home to Southampton last time out.
Manchester United did the double over Newcastle last season winning 3-1 at home and 4-1 on the road.

Manchester United 2/9
Draw 6/1
Newcastle 23/2
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 21/20
Goals tend to flow in this fixture and this bet would have arrived in the last 4 meetings between the sides at Old Trafford.
CHELSEA v ASTON VILLA
Chelsea are 4th on the log having taken 7 points from a possible 9. They dropped their first point of the season last time out drawing 1-1 away at Liverpool having lost a player to a red card. Prior to that they had beaten Arsenal 2-0 on the road and Crystal Palace 3-0 at home.
Aston Villa currently sit midtable with 4 points from their opening 3 matches. They drew 1-1 at home to Brentford last time out having opened their account in their second game with a 2-0 home win over Newcastle, prior to that they lost 3-2 on the road to Watford.
Aston Villa won this fixture 2-1 last season and the sides drew 1-1 at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea 3/10
Draw 9/2
Aston Villa 39/4
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 13/10
Chelsea’s defence has been tight, but I think there is some value here given that this bet would have arrived in the last 4 head-to-head meetings between the sides.
