BettingDiaryThere are 3 English Premier League matches taking place on Sunday and we suggest a bet in each of them.

 

 

 

 

SOUTHAMPTON v MANCHESTER UNITED – Click here to bet

Southampton go into the weekend in 5th place and they have played out 5 wins and 2 draws in their last 7 games. One of those draws came last time out against Wolves where the score finished 1-1, but they have won their last 3 games against Newcastle, Everton and West Brom and all of those by 2-0 margins.

Manchester United were in victorious form in Europe in midweek and they have also won their 2 last League games at home to West Brom and away at Everton and they currently sit 10th on the table, but with a game in hand on most of the teams above them.

BETTING

Southampton 11/4

Draw 53/20

Manchester United 1/1

Suggested Bet: Southampton win at 11/4

This looks a cracking price about a team that has won its last 3 home games and is playing a side which despite going well in Europe hasn’t really fired in the League yet. If you want the draw in your favour as well then take the more conservative option of Southampton (+1) on the Handicap at 8/10

CHELSEA v TOTTENHAM - Click here to bet

This is the match of the weekend pitting log leaders Tottenham against 3rd placed Chelsea in a London derby.

Chelsea are undefeated in their last 6 League games and have won 3 on the trot with all 3 victories coming by more than a goal. Last time out they beat Newcastle 2-0 away and their last home game was a 4-1 win over Sheffield United. Chelsea’s last 3 home games have scored 11 goals and conceded 4.

Tottenham are undefeated in their last 8 matches and have won their last 4 including the big scalp of Manchester City 2-0 at home last week. They have a superb record on the road this season with 100% return in 4 matches scoring 13 goals and conceding just 3.

Chelsea won this fixture 2-1 last season.

 

BETTING

Chelsea 11/10

Draw 51/20

Tottenham 51/20

Suggested Bet: The draw at 51/20

Was I think the draw offers the value here as there won’t be much between these sides and is a game neither will want to lose. I did consider both teams to score, but the 6/10 available was just a bit short for my pocket.

ARSENAL v WOLVES – Click here to bet

Arsenal are down in 12th on the table with just 1 win in their last 5 starts. They played to a goalless draw to Leeds last time out and their last 2 home matches has seen them lose 3-0 to Villa and 1-0 to Leicester. In Arsenal’s last 5 League matches only 1 or no team has found the back of the net.

Wolves are 9th on the table coming off a 1-1 draw at home to Southampton and their last away game was a 1-0 defeat to Leicester. Wolves away games have been low scoring averaging just 2 goals apiece.

 

BETTING

Arsenal 23/20

Draw 9/4

Wolves 11/4

 

Suggested Bet: Correct score 1-1 at 19/4

Both these sides are struggling so this should be a tight encounter and we are effectively hoping for a hat trick here as this particular fixture has finished 1-1 the last 2 seasons.
