Below are three accumulators, each at bigger odds than the last, which represent the best betting opportunities of the upcoming Premier League weekend. So don’t worry about sifting through all the form and odds, let us do all the work for you. All you need to do now is place the bets.
Easy Winner – 7/5 (BetVictor)
- Manchester United to beat Sunderland (2/9) – Sunderland could hardly be in a worse shape at the moment. They are being beaten almost every week and morale is at rock bottom. So a trip to Old Trafford is not exactly what they’re looking for and we can’t see them getting even a point.
- Liverpool to beat Aston Villa (9/20) – Liverpool created a lot of chances against Norwich last weekend but just couldn’t find the winner. They have a great chance to put those frustrations behind them against a Villa side who are battling away at the wrong end of the table.
- Over 1.5 goals in Stoke v Bournemouth (4/11) – Stoke cannot quite find their feet in the league this season despite having some very talented players. Saturday’s game against Bournemouth could be an entertaining one even if it is difficult to predict the winner.
Medium Risk – 12/1 (Sky Bet)
- West Ham to beat Norwich (6/5) – West Ham are sitting pretty in third place in the Premier League. Having secured their first home win against Newcastle last week and then having beaten Man City away they should be able to win once again against Norwich.
- West Brom to beat Everton (19/10) – Tony Pulis is the master of beating managers who like to play pretty football like Roberto Martinez. West Brom need a win at home but otherwise they have started their season well so the Hawthorns should be a happy place on Monday night.
- Southampton to beat Swansea (11/10) – Southampton should have recorded a positive result against Man United last weekend but stopped doing what worked so well for them in the first half. They can bounce straight back against Swansea who have not been at their best lately.
Long Shot – 35/1 (Bet365)
- Watford and Crystal Palace to draw (23/10) – Watford are scoring goals and looking confident. They’ll have to be at their very best to beat Palace who are good away from home so the draw looks a very solid option.
- Leicester and Arsenal to draw (11/4) – Leicester’s unbeaten run needs to come to an end at some point but they can go one more week without defeat against Arsenal on Saturday. The Gunners come into the game after two very demanding London derbies and the Foxes can take advantage of any tiredness in the travelling players’ legs.
- Bournemouth to beat Stoke (15/8) – One of Stoke’s main advantages is the backing that they get from their home supporters. However, there have been rumblings at the Britannia given the team’s propensity to throw away leads and their lack of defensive solidity. Things could get worse before they get better with the visit of Bournemouth who will make the most of any opportunities presented to them.
