ASTON VILLA V SHEFFIELD UNITED – Click here to bet

Aston Villa are bracing themselves for a relegation battle and they currently sit 2^nd from bottom of the log having lost their last 4 games in succession prior to the extended COVID-19 break. Most of their points have come at home where they have won 5 and drawn 2 of their 13 fixtures.

Sheffield United will hope that they haven't lost the momentum that sees them sitting 7^th on the table with 3 wins and a draw in their last 4 matches. They have been one of the better sides on the road this season losing just 4 of their 13 games with 7 of the matches being drawn.

Sheffield United were too strong for Villa at home, winning 2-0 back in November and these sides played in the Championship last season with Sheffield United winning at home and the teams playing to a 3-3 draw at Aston Villa.

Betting

Aston Villa 47/20

Draw 47/20

Sheffield United 5/4

Suggested Bet: The draw at 47/20

Sheffield United have made a habit of taking points on the road this season and I think the draw is a big runner here.

MANCHESTER CITY V ARSENAL – Click here to bet

What a great fixture to get us back into the swing of things with 2^nd placed Manchester City up against 9^th placed Arsenal.

City still hold out mathematical hopes of stopping Liverpool from winning the title, realistically though they will be just looking to consolidate 2nd position. They lost 2 of their last 4 matches prior to the break and have been defeated twice in 13 starts at home this season.

Arsenal had some good momentum going into the break and were undefeated in their last 8 starts having won their last 3, all of which were at home. Their form on the road has been poor with just 2 wins in 13 starts although they have drawn their last 5 games on opposition soil.

Betting

Manchester City 7/20

Draw 19/4

Arsenal 29/4

Suggested Bet: Handicap: Arsenal (+1) at 9/4

City have dominated against Arsenal in recent years but I was impressed by the Gunners early in the year and feel that of the 2 sides they possibly have more to play for. Arsenal to get something from this fixture is the call.
