Week 7 of the English Premier League gets underway with a fierce encounter between Tottenham and League-leaders Manchester City at White Hart Lane on Saturday night Australian time.
Liverpool are offered a great opportunity to return to winning form against a misfiring Aston Villa late Saturday night while Watford and Crystal Palace lock horns in a London Derby early Monday morning.
We’re offering the best odds on the widest range of markets for all ten matches in Week 7 of the Premier League!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City
Manchester City suffered a shock loss to West Ham last weekend but remain comfortably atop standings and clear favourites to win the 2015/16 Premier League following their dominance of the first five weeks of competition. Spurs contested a typically slow start to their campaign but have slowly started to gather momentum in recent weeks; delivering Sunderland and Crystal Palace defeats in their two most recent fixtures. Tottenham are sure to put on a display at White Hart Lane but should be wary of a wounded City, who will probably respond with success on Saturday night.

West Ham United vs Norwich City
West Ham posted undoubtedly their best result this season in defeating Manchester City at Eastlands in Week 6, and will be understandably brimming with confidence ahead of their return to Upton Park and match with Norwich on Saturday night. In winning last weekend, West Ham became the first team to beat all of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City away from home in one season since the initiation of the Premier League in its current format. Norwich have been far from disgraced in the first six weeks of their return to England’s top flight and posted a gritty draw with Liverpool last weekend. While West Ham deserve to be favourites, we’re confident Norwich at least up to a draw and that result offers exceptional value for money at current $3.40 odds.

Leicester City vs Arsenal
Leicester City have picked up where they left off last season and are fourth in overall standings – figuring as the only team yet to taste defeat this campaign. Arsenal are yet to hit their straps this time and are sure to be seeking redemption on Saturday night following their loss to Chelsea in Week 6. Arsenal in full flight undoubtedly win this fixture, but it’s hard to tell in current form and away from home how they will play. Leicester offer exceptional value for money at $4 odds in win-draw-win markets.

Manchester United vs Sunderland
In what has every likihood of figuring as the most one-sided fixture in Week 7 of the English Premier League, Manchester United host cellar-dwellers Sunderland at Old Trafford on Saturday night. United have found strong and consistent form through their recent matches and enter this game off the back of two wins highlighted by three goals in each. Sunderland on the other hand appear as though they will be in the relegation dogfight for all 38 weeks of the Premier League season and are yet to post a win; entering Week 7 off a heavy loss to the newly-promoted Bournemouth. The Red Devils will win this match and win well, and offer great value for money to breeze past the Black Cats 3-0 at a $7 quote.

Liverpool vs Aston Villa
Liverpool have contested a particularly disappointing start to the 2015/16 Premier League season; claiming only two wins and two draws to sit well off the pace in 13th. Manager Brendan Rodgers is already in a fight to keep his job at Anfield and needs the Reds to win matches against teams like Aston Villa if he is any hope. Former Villa marksman Christian Benteke made a big money move to Merseyside in the offseason and is sure to do everything is his power to score against his old club this weekend. The Villans have been inconsistent all season, are winless since week 1 and Liverpool should return to winning form in style on Saturday night.

Stoke City vs Bournemouth
Saturday night’s match between Stoke City and Bournemouth could very well figure as the most well-contested fixture in Week 7 of the English Premier League. Stoke made a number of big signings ahead of their 2015/16 campaign but are yet to find peak form and blew a two goal lead to tie with Leicester City last weekend. Bournemouth were expected to be caught in the bottom three for the entire season but if their form through the first six weeks of competition is anything to go by, they are in for a long and healthy stay in the Premier League. Having returned to the winner’s circle against Sunderland most recently, the Cherries face a big task in front of the loud Potters’ faithful and a draw is worth consideration at current $3.25 odds.

Southampton vs Swansea City
Southampton at St Mary’s is by no means an easy task for any team, but Swansea City arguably offer football fans the best value in Premier League win-draw-win markets this weekend at current $3.30 odds when consideration their form so far this campaign. Having posted several impressive wins including a 2-1 success over Manchester United in Week 4, the Swans were held to a 0-0 draw by Everton in Week 6 but will be full of confidence of delivering the Saints, who were unable to score against West Brom last weekend, a defeat.

Newcastle United vs Chelsea
Two of the English Premier League’s slowest starters to the season will meet when Newcastle United host Chelsea early Sunday morning Australian time. Newcastle were lucky to avoid relegation last year and have been unable to reverse their poor fortunes through the first six weeks of competition this time around; posting two draws and four losses to sit 19th. Chelsea have contested the worst start to a title defence in Premier League history and sit 15th overall, but appear to have snapped back into form with a win over Arsenal in Week 6. Chelsea should be favourites and are worth taking at $1.60 this weekend.
