Manchester City vs Leeds United

Manchester City, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following the 3-0 Premier League success over West Ham United. In that game, Manchester City managed 70% possession and 16 shots at goal, with seven on target. The Citizens continued their winning streak and returned to the top spot on the table. They are one point ahead of Arsenal but also have one game in hand. The defending champions are full of confidence, and they finally got into a position to lead the title race. Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola will be grateful not to have any fitness worries to speak of coming into this game owing to a fully healthy group available to choose from.

Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Bournemouth in the Premier League competition, Leeds United and their fans will hope to get a better result this time. In that game, Leeds United had 57% possession and 15 shots at goal, with 6 of them on target. The visitors have had many troubles lately since they stayed undefeated just once in the previous five rounds. That’s why Leeds United dropped to 17^th place, and they have the same number of points as Nottm Forest, who is just below the red line. Leeds United boss Sam Allardyce has some players out of action. Luis Sinisterra (Ankle Injury) and Stuart Dallas (Femoral Fracture) will not be playing here.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

It’s hard to expect that in-trouble Leeds could pose a serious threat to Manchester City at this moment. Although the hosts have an important Champions League match ahead of them, we don’t think they will get complacent in this one. Therefore, Man City should celebrate another comfortable win at Etihad Stadium.

Goals Market Prediction

Both teams have been involved in high-scoring matches lately. Man City scored at least three goals at home in their last seven games at Etihad Stadium, while the BTTS Yes bet was successful in Leeds’ previous nine clashes. This time, we expect to see at least four goals in total.

Manchester City AH -1.75 @ 1.60

Over 3.5 FT @ 1.85

Correct score 4:1 @ 11.00

Liverpool vs Brentford

Liverpool will be looking for another win after their 1-0 Premier League victory over Fulham. In that match, Liverpool had 58% possession and 15 attempts with three on goal. However, the only player on the scoresheet for Liverpool was Mohamed Salah, who converted the penalty kick. The Reds continue their fight for fourth place and qualification for the Champions League, and they are four points behind Manchester United but also have played two games more. They are on a streak of five straight wins, hoping they can pick up where they left off and continue fighting for the top-four finish. Let’s see whether they can keep it running.

Brentford will go into the meeting following on from a 2-1 Premier League win over Nottingham Forest in their previous match. In that match, Brentford managed 69% possession and 14 shots at goal, with 8 of them on target. That success kept them in 9^th place, but the Bees are now just four points behind the sixth-placed Spurs. Therefore, Brentford still has a chance to challenge for the continental qualification. Looking at their recent form, Brentford scored in 5 of their last six matches, with their opponents scoring seven goals. Owing to a completely injury-free group available to choose from, the Brentford manager Thomas Frank has zero fitness worries to report before this match.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

Brentford is a tough opponent, and they have the highest number of draws, with only eight defeats in 34 rounds. However, we believe the Reds will continue their victorious run and stay in the game for a Champions League ticket.

Goals Market Prediction

Both teams have been quite efficient so far this season, while their defenses haven’t been disciplined enough. That’s why we expect an entertaining game in which neither team should keep a clean sheet.

Liverpool to Win @ 1.50

BTTS Yes @ 1.65

Correct score 2:1 @ 8.50

Newcastle United vs Arsenal

After the previous result, Newcastle United will be hoping for more of the same after their 3-1 Premier League win against Southampton. In that game, Newcastle United had 64% possession and 22 attempts on goal with five on target. It was the Magpies' third straight win that kept them nine points ahead of the fifth-placed Liverpool. However, Newcastle needs to stay alert to keep their top-four position and earn a Champions League ticket. Regarding selection issues, Matty Longstaff (Knee Injury), Sean Longstaff (Knock), and Jamaal Lascelles (Calf Injury) are not available for Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe.

Arsenal comes into this match on the back of a 3-1 win in the Premier League against Chelsea in their previous game. In that match, Arsenal had 55% possession and 16 attempts, with ten on target. The Gunners enjoyed an excellent first half, after which they already had a 3-0 lead. Thanks to that victory, Arsenal stayed in the title race, but still, Manchester City is a team that will lead the race. The Gunners need to pick up where they left off and hope that the Citizens will spill points in the remainder of the campaign. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta currently has to contend with reduced team options. William Saliba (Back Injury), Mohamed Elneny (Knee Injury), and Takehiro Tomiyasu (Knee Surgery) are not able to play.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

Newcastle United has been quite good at St. James' Park this season, losing only one game on 16 occasions. On the other hand, Arsenal's confidence is at a high level after beating Chelsea. This game can go either way, and we see a draw as the most realistic outcome.

Goals Market Prediction

Arsenal's defense has been porous lately, while Newcastle scores two goals per game on average when playing in their backyard. Therefore, we think neither team will keep a clean sheet in this encounter.

Draw @ 3.85

BTTS Yes @ 1.60

Correct score 2:2 @ 12.50

West Ham vs Manchester United

West Ham United will be hoping for a better result after their 3-0 Premier League defeat in their last game against Manchester City. In that match, West Ham United had 30% possession and six attempts, 2 of which were on target. Although the Hammers are four points ahead of the red line, they need to stay alert not to drop into the relegation zone. However, they need to improve their performance after three straight defeats. West Ham is without a win against Manchester United in the previous six matches. The Hammers' manager David Moyes has no fitness concerns ahead of this match thanks to a fully injury-free squad ready to play.

After losing their last game against Brighton & Hove Albion in Premier League action, Manchester United and their traveling fans will be hoping for a better result here. In that match, Manchester United had 40% possession and 16 attempts on goal with five on target. Although everybody had already settled for a draw, Luke Shaw handed the ball into the box, and the Red Devils suffered a defeat. Man Utd is currently four points ahead of fifth-placed Liverpool and has a game in hand, but they need to ensure the Champions League ticket does not slip out of their hands. Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag currently has to contend with reduced team options. Tom Heaton (Ankle Injury), Scott McTominay (Unknown Injury), Raphaël Varane (Foot Injury), Donny van de Beek (Knee Injury), and Lisandro Martínez (Metatarsal Fracture) miss out here.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

Manchester United hasn't been too confident recently, but the visitors are in better shape than their rivals. The Red Devils have also celebrated in their previous three h2h encounters, and we think they can return home with all three points.

Goals Market Prediction

West Ham failed to score only once on the previous 13 occasions, while Man Utd's defense hasn't been confident at all. That's why we believe both teams will find the back of the opponent's net on Sunday evening.

Manchester United to Win @ 2.10

BTTS Yes @ 1.65

Had a small bet on Danilo to score first in the Southampton game @ 18/1 bet365. He's really found his feet in the last few games, been all over the pitch and scored a couple.

Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur

Aston Villa will be hoping to get back to winning ways after losing 1-0 in the Premier League in their previous game against Wolverhampton Wanderers. In that match, Aston Villa had 62% possession and 16 shots on goal, of which three were on target. The Villans enjoyed a great ten-match unbeatable run, but they tied two straight defeats. However, they return to Villa Park with the intention of getting closer to their upcoming rival in the continental race. The Aston Villa manager Unai Emery doesn't have any fitness worries at all coming into this clash with a completely injury-free group available for selection.

Tottenham Hotspur will go into this meeting after a 1-0 Premier League win with the eclipse of Crystal Palace in their most recent fixture. In that match, Tottenham Hotspur managed 57% possession and eight shots at goal, with 3 of them on target. That victory got them back on the winning track after four rounds in which the Spurs clinched just a point. As they prepare to play in Vila Park, it will be crucial for the Spurs to keep their confidence and get a positive result since they are just three points ahead of their opponents. Tottenham Hotspur manager Ryan Mason has a number of players out of action. Yves Bissouma (Ankle Fracture) and Rodrigo Bentancur (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won't be making appearances.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

It is going to be an interesting match, but we think the hosts might be a bit closer to victory. Therefore, we'll back them in this encounter on Saturday afternoon

Goals Market Prediction

Eight of the last nine Spurs' games were quite efficient and with goals in both nets. We should see an entertaining clash, and neither team will keep a clean sheet at Villa Park.

Aston Villa to Win @ 2.35

BTTS Yes @ 1.70

Correct score 2:1 @ 9.40

Manchester United vs Wolves

Manchester United will be hoping to bounce back here after losing 1-0 in the Premier League in their previous game against West Ham United. In that match, Manchester United had 65% possession and 19 shots on goal, of which four were on target. However, they failed to find the Hammers' back of the net, and David de Gea made a costly mistake. Although the Red Devils looked comfortable in the CL zone just a few rounds ago, they let Liverpool get just one point behind. Regarding absentees, Tom Heaton (Ankle Injury), Scott McTominay (Unknown Injury), Raphaël Varane (Foot Injury), Lisandro Martínez (Metatarsal Fracture), and Donny van de Beek (Knee Injury) will not be taking part for Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.

Wolves go into this clash following a 1-0 Premier League win with the downing of Aston Villa in their last match. In that game, Wolverhampton Wanderers managed 38% possession and six attempts at goal, with 2 of them on target. Although they cannot be happy with the current campaign, the visitors managed to get away from the danger zone. Now, they can play without any pressure in this encounter and try to spice things up in the top-four battle for their rivals. Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui has some current player fitness concerns. Boubacar Traoré (Groin Injury), Chiquinho (Cruciate Ligament Injury) and Sasa Kalajdzic (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) are not ready for selection.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

Manchester United cannot afford to spill points anymore if they want to secure a Champions League ticket. Therefore, we think they might celebrate a comfortable victory in their backyard.

Goals Market Prediction

Their last five h2h matches at Old Trafford didn't produce many goals, and each of them stayed under a 2.5 margin. We think they will continue this tradition, and the crowd shouldn't see more than two goals in total.

Manchester United AH -1 @ 1.65

Under 2.5 FT @ 2.30

Arsenal vs Brighton

Arsenal will be looking to pick up where they left off last time with a 2-0 Premier League triumph against Newcastle United. In that match, Arsenal had 46% possession and ten attempts with six on target. That was the Gunners’ second straight win that kept them one point behind Man City, who also has a game in hand. With three more games to go, Arsenal cannot afford any hiccup until the end of the season, hoping for some help from Man City’s rivals. Regarding selection issues ahead of this match, Saliba, Tomiyasu, and Elneny remain on the sidelines with injuries.

After losing their previous game against Everton in the Premier League, Brighton will be hoping to turn things around. In that match, Brighton & Hove Albion had 77% possession and 23 shots on goal with five on target. However, the Seagulls suffered a heavy 5-1 loss which hurt their continental bid. Nevertheless, they have three games in hand compared to the Spurs and Villa and still can search for the top-six finish. However, they need to put a much better performance than the last time. Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi has some current player fitness concerns. Jeremy Sarmiento (Metatarsal Fracture) and Tariq Lamptey (Knee Injury) will miss out on this game.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

We anticipate an exciting game as both teams should search for a win. However, we think the hosts are a bit closer to celebrating a victory, and Arsenal should take all three points at Emirates Stadium on Sunday evening.

Goals Market Prediction

Both teams prefer attacking gameplay, and that shouldn’t be different this time. Therefore, the crowd should expect an entertaining match in which both teams should score at least once.

Arsenal to Win @ 1.80

BTTS Yes @ 1.55

Correct score 3:2 @ 20.00

Everton vs Manchester City

Everton will be looking for a repeat of their 5-1 Premier League triumph over Brighton & Hove Albion. In that game, Everton had just 23% possession and ten shots on goal with five on target. That victory dragged the Toffees away from the relegation zone, but they are just one point above the red line. With three more games to go, Everton will try to produce a surprise at Goodison Park and win valuable points to stay up. However, Everton boss Sean Dyche cannot count on Amadou Onana (Leg Injury), Andros Townsend (Cruciate Ligament Injury), Andy Lonergan (Knee Problems), and Seamus Coleman (Knee Injury) for this match.

In their previous game, Manchester City drew 1-1 in the Champions League match with Real Madrid. In that match, Manchester City had 56% possession and ten shots on goal, with 6 of them on target. The Citizens have managed to take over the pole position in the title race, but the main battles are ahead of them. This trip to Liverpool won't be easy, as the Citizens will also think about the second-leg game against Real Madrid on Wednesday. Nevertheless, the visitors want to pick up where they left off and continue their road to another major domestic trophy. Due to a fully healthy group to choose from, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola does not have any fitness concerns whatsoever before this clash.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

Manchester City is considered a strong favorite in this game, but it will be a tough game. Everton is motivated after a huge win away to Brighton, and we don't think that Toffees will lose by more than one goal.

Goals Market Prediction

Manchester City managed to keep its net intact just three times in the last 15 games on the road. Everton will also search for points here, and we could see both teams finding the back of the opponent’s net at Goodison Park.

Everton AH +1.5 @ 1.85

BTTS Yes @ 1.95

Correct score 1:2 @ 9.50

No Toney for Brentford which clearly impacts their goal scoring prospects but, at the prices, I'd say Wissa and Mbeumo are both decent bets in his absence. 10/3 and 17/4 respectively with Lads (best price anyway and boost used on top). Both of them scored in each of the two league games that Toney didn't start this season. In the 10 other games they both started (playing alongside Toney) there was just one where one of them scored so we're hoping the "no Toney" effect kicks in. At the prices I'll take the chance.

Pretty much no anybody for West Ham but Ings caught the eye at 4/1 with Sky Bet. Matched at 5.6 on the exchange.

A few players at tempting prices for Man C, especially on the exchange. Taken 4.6 for Mahrez. Alvarez interesting at >3 and Foden at 13/4 Uni or better on BF.

Done the Hills double odds boost of City win and Haaland and Alvarez both >1 SoT. Wouldn't entertain it at 5/2 but 5/1 feels reasonable.

Not often you'll get those sort of prices about something with a 100% strike rate! 

Should have checked out the both to score bet builder though.
