LEICESTER v ARSENAL
Leicester are 9th on the table, one position and level on points ahead of Arsenal thanks to goal difference. They are coming off back-to-back victories, 2-1 away at Brentford and 4-2 at home to Manchester United and 7 of the 9 Leicester games have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers and both teams have found the back of the net in 7 of their 9 matches including the last 5.
Arsenal have recovered from a slow start and are unbeaten in their last 6 with 4 wins and 2 draws. Last time out they beat Aston Villa 3-1 at home and their last away game was a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.
Arsenal won this fixture 3-1 last season, but Leicester won the reverse 1-0 at Arsenal.

Leicester 15/10
Draw 5/2
Arsenal 37/20
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 15/20
This price is just in my range and I am happy to take it given the high scoring nature of Leicester matches this season and more recently Arsenal games as well.
MANCHESTER CITY v CRYSTAL PALACE
Manchester City are 3rd on the log 2 points behind leaders, Chelsea, but they are in some good form and are undefeated in their last 8, winning their last 2, 4-1 away at Brighton and 2-0 at home to Burnley. Manchester City have played 4 games at home this season scoring 12 goals without conceding.
Crystal Palace have only won 1 match this season and they haven't won in their last 5, drawing their last 4 games most recently 1-1 at home to Newcastle and 2-2 on the road to Arsenal. Both teams have found the back of the net in the last 4 Crystal Palace League games and away from home in 4 games they save scored 4 goals, but conceded 10.
City won this fixture 4-0 last season and they did the double over Palace winning away 2-0.

Manchester City 2/11
Draw 27/4
Crystal Palace 14/1
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 21/20
Manchester City score freely at home, but Palace are the sort of side who might grab a goal on the break and this bet would have arrived in this particular fixture in the last 5 meetings in succession.
TOTTENHAM v MANCHESTER UNITED
Tottenham are 6th on the log, 1 point and 1 position above Manchester United. They were disappointing last time out losing 1-0 away at West Ham, but prior to that they had back-to-back victories away at Newcastle and at home to Aston Villa.
They face a Manchester United side in all sorts of trouble with United only taking 1 point from the last 12 they have played for. Their last game was a 5-0 home thrashing at the hands of Liverpool and their last away game they lost 4-2 to Leicester.
Last season the away team won on each occasion, United winning 3-1 at Tottenham and Tottenham hammering United 6-1 at Old Trafford.

Tottenham 19/10
Draw 26/10
Manchester United 14/10
Suggested Bet: Tottenham win at 19/10
While Tottenham are not exactly flying there is surely no better time to play Manchester United and I am a little bit surprised that the home team are the underdogs here.
