Manchester City remain firm favourites at 3/10 to win the English Premier League title and you can click here for all the long term betting markets.

 

Nottingham v Liverpool – Click here to bet

Nottingham are currently 19th on the table with just 1 win in their opening 11 games. Last time out they drew 0-0 away at Brighton and their last home game was a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.

Liverpool are 7th on the table after back-to-back wins at home to West Ham and Manchester City both by 1 goal margins. They have battled on the road this season and are yet to register a victory in 4 attempts.

Liverpool are short priced favourites here at 1/4 and justifiably so against a Forest side that is really struggling in the top flight. The key to Liverpool’s climb up the table has been their improved defence and I think they can keep Forest’s scoreless here.

Suggested Bet: Nott Forest, Totals under 0.5 goals at 9/10

Everton v Crystal Palace – Click here to bet

Everton are currently 15th on the log, but they are coming off 3 successive victories, most recently 1-0 away at Newcastle in midweek. Their last home game was a 2-1 defeat to Manchester United and they have only won once in 5 matches in front of their home fans this season.

Crystal Palace are up to 10th on the log with 2 wins and a draw in their last 3 starts. Last time out they beat Wolves 2-1 at home and their last away game was a goalless draw at Leicester.

Looking at the head-to-head form a stat that jumps out is that both teams have found the back of the net in their last 5 meetings.

Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 9/10

 

Manchester City v Brighton – Click here to bet

Manchester City are 2nd on the log, 4 points behind Arsenal after a shock 1-0 defeat to Liverpool on the road last time out. Shock is perhaps too strong a word, but they did start as 9/10 favourites to win the match. Their home form has been superb though and they have a 100% record after 5 games scoring 24 goals and conceding just 5.

Brighton were flying high earlier in the season, but they have slipped to 8th place and have only taken 2 points from the last 12 they have played for. They drew 0-0 at home to Nottingham in midweek and their last away game was a 2-0 defeat to Brentford.

Brighton are in free fall and Manchester City will be hurting after the Liverpool defeat and I think this is going to be a big City win on the lines of the 3 goal margins they got at home and away last season. With this in mind I am quite surprised to see Manchester City Totals, over 2.5 goals priced as 8/10.

Suggested Bet: Manchester City Totals, Over 2.5 goals at 8/10

 

Chelsea v Manchester United – Click here to bet

Chelsea are currently 4th on the log and they saw a 4 match winning run ended last time out when they drew 0-0 away at Brentford. Their last home game was a 3-0 victory over Wolves and they have won 3 and drawn 1 of their 4 matches this season.

Manchester United are 5th on the log after a 2-0 home win over Tottenham last time out. Their away record reads played 5, won 3, lost 2 and 60% of Manchester United’s games have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers while 70% of Chelsea matches have obliged.

It is not often I back a draw in the English Premier League, but these sides have drawn their last 4 matches and anything above 5/2 is tough to resist.

Suggested Bet: The draw at 26/10
