There are 5 English Premier League matches taking place on Saturday and we suggest a bet in each.

 

 

 

 

ASTON VILLA v ARSENAL

Both of these sides are coming off midweek losses, Villa going down 3-1 at home to West Ham and Arsenal losing 2-1 on the road at Wolves.

The Arsenal loss brought to an end a 7 match run without defeat and it leaves Arsenal 10^th on the table, 1 point and 1 position behind Villa who have played 2 games less. Prior to the loss at Wolves, Arsenal have won 3 successive away matches.

Aston Villa 33/20

Draw 26/10

Arsenal 16/10

Suggested Bet: Aston Villa win at 16/10

This has been priced as an even game by the bookmakers and it is hard to pick a winner. I was originally lining up a Villa bet, but I was disappointed by their midweek performance. However, having giving it some thought I am going to keep the faith against an Arsenal side that appears to get derailed rather easily.

BURNLEY v BRIGHTON

Burnley are 17^th on the log, 2 points and 2 positions behind Brighton having played a game less. They have lost 4 and won 2 of their last 6 games and most recently have had tough fixtures going down to City at home and Chelsea on the road. Brighton are one of the form teams in the English Premier League and if you drew up a table with the last 5 matches only, they would sit 4^th with 3 wins and a draw in their last 4. They beat Liverpool 1-0 away in their last start, a result which Burnley had also achieved a couple of weeks back.

Burnley 51/20

Draw 43/20

Brighton 5/4

Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, NO, at 15/20

I am expecting a tight, low scoring affair here and this bet would have arrived in 7 of Burnley’s last 8 fixtures and in Brighton’s last 5 EPL matches.

 

 

NEWCASTLE v SOUTHAMPTON

Newcastle are 16^th on the log and they have only won 1 of their last 10 matches and have lost 6 of their last 7. Their last home game was a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace and they are without a win in their last 5 home games and have lost 3 on the trot.

Southampton are 12^th on the table, but they are now coming off 4 successive defeats including a 9-0 hammering at Manchester United in midweek.

Newcastle 37/20

Draw 9/4

Southampton 16/10

Suggested Bet: Newcastle win at 37/20

Southampton’s confidence must be in absolute tatters after the 9-0 drubbing and looking at the head-to-head’s between the sides, Newcastle have won this fixture for 3 successive years.

FULHAM v WEST HAM

Fulham sit in the final relegation position in 18^th spot after a 2-0 defeat at home to Leicester in midweek. They have only won twice in 21 starts this season and you have to go back to the 30 November for their last victory in the League.

West Ham are flying and they are 5^th on the table having won 5 of their last 6 matches including the last 3 in a row on the road.

Fulham 51/20

Draw 51/20

West Ham 11/10

Suggested Bet: Total goals away team over 1.5 at 21/20

West Ham have being scoring goals for fun getting 3 at least in their last 2 away matches.

MANCHESTER UNITED v EVERTON

Manchester United are 2^nd on the table and have recovered from a wobbly run with a 9-0 home win over Southampton. They Face an Everton side that was also in some shaky form, but bounced back with a victory in midweek, 2-1 away at Leeds. United have won 4 of their last 5 home matches and Everton’s away record has been excellent with only 2 points dropped in their last 5 games on their travels and 4 wins in succession.

Manchester United 11/20

Draw 69/20

Everton 19/4

Suggested Bet: Handicap, Everton (+1) at 15/10

I am not going to read too much into United’s win against a very disappointing side and I think they are going to find Everton much tougher to roll over as the visitors have an excellent record on the road.
