There are 2 English Premier League matches taking place on Monday night including the big clash between Liverpool and Arsenal. We suggest a bet in each game.
FULHAM v ASTON VILLA– Click here to bet
Fulham have found life back in the English Premier League tough and they have lost both of their opening matches. They were beaten 3-0 at home by Arsenal and then lost 4-3 on the road to fellow newcomers, Leeds.
They face an Aston Villa side that has only played one match so far and that was a 1-0 home win over Sheffield United.
BETTING
Fulham 37/20
Draw 23/10
Aston Villa 31/20
Suggested Bet: Aston Villa win at 31/20
I considered the over 2.5 goal play here at 19/20 because Fulham’s defence looks pretty weak at the moment, but in the end settled on Aston Villa to win their second game and condemn Fulham to a third successive defeat.
LIVERPOOL v ARSENAL – Click here to bet
Both these teams have started the season well and this should be a mouth-watering encounter.
Liverpool have won both their opening games, 4-3 at home to Leeds and then they beat Chelsea 2-0 on the road.
Arsenal have also got off to a 100% start with a 3-0 victory over Fulham on the road and then a 2-1 home win over West Ham.
These sides met a few weeks ago in the Community Shield with Arsenal winning on penalties and Liverpool won this fixture 3-1 last season and 5-1 the season before. In fact Liverpool have won this fixture by more than a goal the last 4 meetings between the sides at Anfield.
BETTING
Liverpool 5/10
Draw 15/4
Arsenal 5/1
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Liverpool (-1) at 23/20
For this bet to arrive we need Liverpool to continue their run of beating Arsenal by more than a goal when playing them at home. Arsenal have started the season well, but Liverpool will be their first real test whereas I felt that Liverpool showed enough in the Chelsea game to suggest they will win this one fairly comfortably.
