Live on Sky Sports: Saturday 12:30. Manchester United v Manchester City. This weekend’s Premier League action starts with a Manchester derby at Old Trafford. Some might be keen to back City at a backable 10/11 with Betfred, although they have been held to a series of draws recently. It appears Michael Carrick will become the interim manager before this game and his team are 3/1 with bet365 to help his reign get off to a flyer.
Ladbrokes chalk up 3/1 that the match ends all square, with a feisty encounter anticipated. Coral have 1/2 that both teams find the net, with a City win combined with BTTS Yes available at 11/5 with William Hill.
Saturday 15:00;
Chelsea and Brentford meet at Stamford Bridge and we’re surprised that the Bees are such a big price at 15/4 with bet365. Keith Andrews’ side can give the Premier League their full attention, with the Blues trading as 7/10 favourites with Coral although this clash comes directly after a tough Carabao Cup clash against Arsenal. The draw makes appeal at 3/1 with Betfred considering that Brentford are two points higher than their opponents in the standings. If you do want to back the Chelsea win, we like this with a combo of BTTS at 21/10 with BoyleSports.
Leeds Utd meet Fulham at Elland Road and it’s tough to pick a winner. The Whites are 5/4 with William Hill to beat their London opponents, although the Cottagers are in good form and there could be merit taking the 12/5 (bet365) when it comes to Marco Silva’s men. Over 2.5 Goals could be worth a punt at 11/10 with Betfred, with a 2-2 draw available at 16/1 with bet365.
Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are both down on their luck and meet in a London derby on Saturday. Coral go 7/10 that Spurs put a nail in the relegation coffin of the Hammers, with Nuno’s team running out of games to stay afloat. You can get 7/2 with Ladbrokes that the visitors pull a rabbit out of the hat and land the points. It definitely looks like a BTTS Yes game and William Hill chalk up 8/1 that this happens.
Liverpool look like home bankers when facing Burnley on Saturday, with BoyleSports chalking up 2/9 that the Reds overcome their relegation-threatened opponents. It may be that Arne Slot’s side achieve a win to nil and that outcome is trading at evens with Betfred. Along similar lines, you can get 6/1 with bet365 that there’s a 2-0 win and 7/1 with the same firm that a 3-0 success is enjoyed.
Sunderland have not tasted defeat at the Stadium Of Light ahead of their clash against Crystal Palace. The Black Cats are an attractive 17/10 with Ladbrokes to defeat an Eagles side who recently lost at Macclesfield in the FA Cup. However, Oliver Glasner’s side are generally robust defensively. They are 13/8 with William Hill to win and Bet365 have 85/40 that the clash ends all square.
Live on TNT Sports 1: Saturday 17:30. Nottingham Forest v Arsenal. Nottingham Forest have a seven-point gap ahead of the bottom three and would dearly love to increase this against Arsenal. Sean Dyche’s side are big outsiders at 5/1 with Bet365 to topple the Premier League leaders and boost their survival hopes. However, the Gunners will be a warm order for this teatime clash. Betfred have 8/15 that Mikel Arteta’s side take another step towards the title with three points.
Perhaps Forest can hold their London opponents to a point and Ladbrokes have 16/5 that the clash at the City Ground ends all square. A 1-1 draw can be punted at 8/1 with bet365, with a 2-1 success in favour of Arsenal available at 7/1 with Coral.
Live on Sky Sports: Sunday 14:00. Wolves v Newcastle United. Wolves are drinking in last chance saloon right now although Wanderers are 7/2 with bet365 to land a precious maximum against Newcastle at Molineux. The Magpies are a 7/10 chance with William Hill to head back to the north-east with a victory although they have only won two of their ten away games. The draw is a potential runner at 14/5 with BoyleSports.
Perhaps Newcastle will cut loose in this game and you can get 17/10 with Betfred that Eddie Howe’s side lead at half-time and full-time. However, Rob Edwards has improved Wolves and Newcastle HT Wolves FT can be punted at 40/1 with bet365.
Live on Sky Sports: Sunday 16:30. Aston Villa v Everton. Aston Villa’s excellent season continued with an FA Cup win at Tottenham last weekend. They now entertain Everton and the Villans are 7/10 with BoyleSports to beat the Toffees which looks a backable price. After all, Unai Emery’s side have won eight of their ten home matches, conceding just eight goals. A Villa win to nil can be punted at 9/5 with Bet365.
David Moyes’ side have won four times on the road this term and they’re 4/1 with Coral to leave Birmingham with a victory. A draw would be a reasonable outcome and Bet365 have 27/10 that this happens.
Live on Sky Sports: Monday 20:00. Brighton & Hove Albion v AFC Bournemouth. Brighton are fresh from an FA Cup win at Old Trafford and they’re strong favourites at 17/20 with Betfred to overcome Bournemouth. The Seagulls are 21/10 with Ladbrokes to achieve a victory along with both teams scoring. The Cherries are coping with the loss of Antoine Semenyo but they are 11/4 with Coral to leave the AMEX with the spoils.
Brighton have only lost one home match all term but they have drawn four times in front of their own fans. Bet365 offer 29/10 that Fabian Hurzeler’s side are held to a point, although Danny Welbeck scored a peach against United and he’s 5/1 with the same firm to score first.
