There are 4 English Premier League matches taking place on Wednesday night and we take a look at each of them from a betting angle.

ARSENAL v NORWICH – Click Here to bet

Arsenal bounced back from defeats away to Manchester City and Brighton to beat Southampton 2-0 on the road last week. The result leaves them in 9^th place on the log. This will be their first home game since the COVID-19 break and going into the break they won 3 matches in succession at home.

Norwich are rock bottom of the table and 6 points off second from bottom, Aston Villa and they have yet to score a goal since the EPL resumed, losing 3-0 at home to Southampton and 1-0 at home to Everton. They have had just one win on the road this season.

Betting

Arsenal 9/20

Draw 37/10

Norwich 6/1

Suggested Bet: Handicap, Arsenal (-1) at 23/20

Norwich looks like a team that has virtually accepted their fate of relegation while Arsenal have now won 2 matches in a row including the FA Cup encounter on the weekend and I am backing Arsenal to win this by more than a goal.

EVERTON V LEICESTER – Click Here to bet

Everton are 12^th on the table having taken 4 points from a possible 6 since action resumed after the COVID-19 break. They drew 0-0 at home to Liverpool and then edged Norwich 1-0 on the road. Everton home games have been fairly low scoring with 10 out of the 15 matches delivering for under 2.5 goal backers.

Leicester are 3^rd on the table, but have Chelsea breathing down their necks having just drawn the 2 games since play resumed. They played to a 1-1 draw at Watford and then to a goalless draw at home to Brighton. 8 of Leicester’s 15 away matches have had 3 goals or more in them, but the last 3 they played have failed to deliver for overs backers.

Betting

Everton 31/20

Draw 23/10

Leicester 19/10

Suggested Bet: The draw at 23/10

The betting suggested that this should be a tight game and I agree as it doesn’t look to be much between the sides. I also suspect a low scoring clash is on the cards and under 2.5 goals is trading at 15/20.

BOURNEMOUTH V NEWCASTLE UNITED - Click Here to bet

Bournemouth are 18^th on the table and filling the final relegation spot and since returning to action they have lost 2-0 at home to Crystal Palace and 1-0 on the road at Wolves. Overall they have now lost 5 out of their last 6 matches in the League with the other match being drawn.

Newcastle have taken 4 points from a possible 6 in their last 2 games, beating Sheffield United 3-0 at home and drawing 1-1 at home to Aston Villa. They sit 14^th on the table and certain of another season of Premier League action.

Betting

Bournemouth 14/10

Draw 43/20

Newcastle 9/4

Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 13/10

This price looks tempting especially when you look at the head-to-head record between the sides where this bet would have arrived in the last 4 meetings.

WEST HAM V CHELSEA– Click Here to bet

West Ham sit in 17^th position and just outside the relegation zone on goal difference. They have only won 1 of their last 10 EPL matches and their last 2 games has seen them lose 2-0 at home to Wolves and 2-0 away to Tottenham. They face a Chelsea side that has won both their games since play resumed, beating Aston Villa 2-1 away and Manchester City 2-1 at home. Chelsea have been strong on the road this season losing only 4 times in 15 starts and they will be looking to get revenge on West Ham who beat them 1-0 at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season.

Betting

West Ham 9/2

Draw 13/4

Chelsea 6/10

Suggested Bet: Handicap, Chelsea (-1) at 15/10

West Ham have a decent home record against Chelsea, but I have been very impressed by the way Chelsea are playing and by contrast West Ham look like a side who are going to struggle to avoid relegation.
