The fight to finish in the top four took yet another twist last weekend with Tottenham’s late winner against Crystal Palace and Chelsea’s loss away to Man Utd. A number of late goals also changed the picture across the bottom of the table. We’re expecting more drama this weekend which is why we’ve put together three different trebles of increasing odds to cover all the angles for your weekend bets.
Short Price – 6/5 (BetVictor)
- Everton to score under 1.5 goals against Burnley (3/10) – Everton’s shocking away record is unlikely to improve at Turf Moor. Burnley have hardly been setting the world alight but they do know how to keep things tight at the back which will be Sean Dyche’s plan on Saturday afternoon.
- Over 1.5 goals in Swansea v West Ham (2/5) – Swansea have turned the Liberty Stadium into something of a fortress since Carlos Carvalhal took over at the club. They’re racing certainties to score against West Ham but the Irons have goals in them as well so expect fireworks in South Wales.
- Liverpool to beat Newcastle (2/9) – Newcastle’s form has picked up considerably lately. Man City are the only team to get the better of them in the league since Christmas but their strong run should come to an end at Anfield. Liverpool are scoring freely and are sure to pick up another three points.
Medium Risk – 25/2 (Ladbrokes)
- Leicester and Bournemouth to draw (27/10) – The lack of pressure on Leicester has resulted in a drop off in their performance levels and results. Bournemouth are still in need of points and are good value to get one at the King Power on Saturday.
- Southampton to beat Stoke (8/11) – Southampton’s performances have picked up lately without results necessarily following. That should change on Saturday. Stoke are in danger of dropping like a stone and are in line for another defeat against a relegation rival.
- Watford to beat West Brom (11/10) – While Stoke are in danger of dropping like a stone, West Brom have already dropped. Their fight against relegation looks increasingly forlorn and another defeat at Vicarage Road is very much on the cards.
Long Shot – 75/1 (Bet365)
- Swansea and West Ham to draw and both teams to score (7/2) – Swansea will fancy their chances of another big three points when they host West Ham on Saturday. However, the Irons have goals in them and could travel back to London with a point from a game in which both teams score.
- Brighton to beat Arsenal (16/5) – Arsenal’s long suffering fans faced yet more disappointment in the EFL Cup final. That was the final straw for many of those who still support Arsene Wenger but they could be in line for another humbling defeat against this improving Brighton side.
- Man City to win both halves against Chelsea (3/1) – Man City know how dangerous Chelsea can be. The Citizens will look to get off to a fast start and keep their foot down so could end up winning both halves in what should be an exciting match.
