There are yet more very important games in the Premier League this weekend. As ever, that throws up betting opportunities which we are very keen to capitalise on. You can do just that by following along with the three accas we’ve put together below.
Easy Winner – 11/10 (BetVictor)
- Arsenal to beat Sunderland (2/5) – This season goes from bad to worse for Sunderland. After conceding a last-minute goal to lose against West Ham, they’re facing an in-form Arsenal side on Saturday. The Gunners look like racing certainties for the first Premier League game of the weekend.
- Man United to beat Burnley (1/5) – The fixtures continue to come thick and fast for Man United. With all due respect to Burnley, United will relish the chance to go out and play a game as favourites without too many tactical instructions. That could result in a big win for the home side at Old Trafford.
- Over 1.5 goals in Tottenham v Leicester (1/4) – Leicester have improved after having a team meeting to iron out concerns with their form. They’ll be looking to take the game to Spurs at White Hart Lane but the away side’s defensive issues could raise their head once more.
Medium Risk – 11/2 (Sky Bet)
- Bournemouth to beat Middlesbrough (2/1) – Middlesbrough have been surprisingly poor since making their return to the Premier League. They battled very well for a point against Arsenal last time out but could find themselves defeated once again this weekend when Bournemouth visit the Riverside Stadium.
- Man City to beat West Brom (4/9) – It’s been a poor couple of weeks for Pep Guardiola and his team. However, this looks a great chance for them to return to winning ways in the Premier League. They’ve won the last six against the Baggies and should extend that run at the Hawthorns.
- Everton to beat West Ham (3/4) – Everton are a real bogey team for West Ham. The Toffees would dearly love another win against the Irons after a run of four league games without a win.
Long Shot – 104/1 (Bet365)
- Liverpool to beat Crystal Palace 3-1 (14/1) – Crystal Palace and Liverpool have played some real crackers over the past few years. 3-1 has been a surprisingly common score line in this fixture over that time so 14/1 on the favourites winning by such a score line again looks good value.
- Romelu Lukaku to score against West Ham (20/21) – Lukaku loves scoring against West Ham so much he even scored against their keeper, Darren Randolph, at Euro 2016! The Belgian should increase his tally of six league goals when he takes on West Ham once more on Sunday.
- Swansea to beat Stoke (13/5) – Swansea have made some slight but very definite improvements since appointing Bob Bradley as their new manager. Bradley is desperate to get his first win in Premier League football and that can come on Monday night when Swansea play Stoke. The Potters have improved their form but their mentality remains fragile. The Swans can capitalise on that by grabbing a huge win at the Bet365 Stadium.
