The non-stop Premier League season rolls on with three action packed mornings.

It’s a challenging time of season for managers as squad depth gets tested by injuries, suspensions and fatigue.

There’s plenty to look forward to over the next few days so read on to see who we are backing here.

It’s hard not to like Leicester in this fixture, they have won their last two against Palace and have kept clean sheets on both occasions.

Not to mention Palace is woefully inconsistent on a good day.

At this time of year these games are always a grind and I’ll back them to get over the line at their price.

Back Leicester to Win @ $2.02

If there’s one thing you learn watching the matches at this time of year, it’s that they’re never the spectacles you hope they will be.

Both teams have short turnarounds from their clashes with Arsenal and Crystal Palace so this one could very easily be decided by a solitary goal.

There’s value to be had with taking a low scoring clash.

We keep hearing that this is a new Everton this season and while that theory certainly has merit, it might be expecting a bit much for them to overturn a woeful history against City.

Their last win came almost four years ago to the day, in January 2017 and the last five have all gone the way of the Citizens.

It might not be a vintage Guardiola performance but they could take plenty of confidence from shutting out a talented Everton attack.

Back City to Win to Nil @ $2.90

When neither team looks to be overly appealing in the head to head market, the draw is probably the best play.

Arsenal has a surprisingly torrid history against the Seagulls losing three and drawing twice in their last five.

Brighton’s overall form lately does not inspire a whole lot of confidence either with too few wins to think they are good value at anything under $5 odds.

Neither side can afford to drop points but with they way both have looked, it’s hard to see either side putting together a performance worth all three.

Back the Draw @ $3.20

If any match screams “dour affair due to a busy fixture list” this is as close to the dictionary definition as we can get.

Neither side offers a whole lot going forward and will probably be happier with a clean sheet than anything else.

If either team scores twice it might be a slightly belated Christmas miracle.

Back Under 1.5 Goals @ $2.50

This one is starting to have the makings of a sneakily competitive match with both teams having plenty of high moments during the season.

In terms of overall firepower Southampton definitely has the edge however West Ham can certainly hold their own if this turns into a shootout.

Generally the rule is to back unders in these fixtures but both teams have enough going for them to give me confidence taking a high scoring clash.

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ $1.80

The hot and cold Leeds train heads to West Brom as Bielsa’s frenetic style gets put to the test on short rest here.

West Brom’s may set out to park the bus but they don’t have the overall fortitude to repel Leeds for 90 minutes so I’ll take the visitors to leave with all three points.

Back Leeds to Win @ $1.98

It’s all coming together nicely for Manchester United as they try to insert themselves into the Premier League title race.

They have a surprisingly tough outing here against a Wolves team which has given them plenty of trouble over the last few years.

United only won once out of their last seven head to head meetings and of the four matches last season, there were only three goals scored.

Get ready for another arm wrestle between these teams.

Even Fulham’s defence won’t be saved by the frantic fixture list.

The only question for this match is Tottenham to win by how much?

If Spurs don’t score at least two here it will be another late festive miracle.

Back Tottenham to Win & Over 1.5 Goals @ $1.80

In a normal situation there is a strong case to be made to back Liverpool to win by a whole lot.

After struggling with Newcastle in the early part of his Anfield tenure Jurgen Klopp seems to have solved the Tynesiders with the Reds winning the last five meetings.

What’s stopping me from taking a blowout however is Klopp’s long running complaints about fixture congestion so it would not be at all surprising if he saw his side take a lead then looked to close out the victory instead of going on with it and putting up a rugby score.

2019/2020

Only a handful of hours after the conclusion of Matchweek 15 does Matchweek 16 of the English Premier League season kick off with Everton hosting Chelsea.

Of course most eyes will be firmly locked on the Etihad Stadium in the very early hours of Sunday Morning for a pivotal Manchester Derby.

Plenty of managers are starting to feel the pressure all over the competition and with fixtures beginning to pile up as the temperatures continue to drop in the UK, now is not the time to take it easy.

We’ve got 10 Premier League fixtures coming up over the weekend and the plays for each of them are right here.

Fresh off a Merseyside Derby battering from Liverpool’s backups, Everton hosts Chelsea with (at the time of writing) huge questions over the future of Marco Silva.

It’s the second part of a brutal stretch for the Toffees that continues through to Christmas so whoever is the manager will have a tough task ahead of them.

For that reason, there’s no other choice than to back Chelsea to win outright, even though they have to travel for this game.

The Blues were good enough to beat Aston Villa during the week and while it might not be the most aesthetically pleasing performance, style points don’t matter here.

Back Chelsea to Win @ $2.05

As good as Liverpool have been this season, it’s getting to that point in time where you might want to back off trusting them no matter what.

Even the best sides can be undone by a busy schedule and no English side is going to be as busy as the Reds over the next few weeks.

After this match they have to avoid defeat in the Champions League to ensure progression to the knockout stage (and ideally win their midweek match) followed by one last Premier League match before jetting off to the Club World Cup.

They should beat Bournemouth but at that price, it’s not the worst time to say “no, I’ll just watch this week” instead of forcing a play.

NO BET

Spurs were well below par at Old Trafford but I like their chances of a bounce back against a Burnley side that didn’t wake up until the 89^th minute of their loss to City.

The Clarets losses all tend to come in matches where they concede far too many goals and can’t catch up.

It’s been a long time since Spurs kept a clean sheet though for a Same Game Multi I’ll back a Spurs win with a fair few goals coming in from both sides.

SGM: Tottenham to Win, Both Teams to Score & Over 3.5 Goals @ $4.09

Watford are one of the few Premier League sides that you should have a pretty good read on by now.

There’s a reason they are languishing in the doldrums of the competition and it seems like the bubble of that miracle FA Cup run has well and truly burst as they can’t seem to win a match.

For that reason, Palace looks like a great value play even as an underdog away from home so why not take a punt here.

Back Crystal Palace to Win @ $3.10

Manchester United’s big week continues with their first Derby of the season and it will be a massive test for the under fire Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

After outplaying Tottenham during the week, they now have to face a City side that is undermanned due to injuries, but still more than capable of going off in any given match.

With their margin for error in the title race already down to a miniscule level, the defending champions need to win this one.

So far this season United has been pretty successful against the rest of the “Big 6” but I can’t back against City here.

With a makeshift defence set to take to the pitch once again though, I’ll also back United to score at least once and maybe make a few faces around the Etihad a bit nervous.

SGM: City to Win & Both Teams to Score @ $2.75

Nine goals in his last seven matches is why Jamie Vardy is the most in form striker in the Premier League and one of the better Anytime Goalscorer bets going at the moment.

He should have no problem adding to that tally against a struggling Aston Villa side that has kept just three clean sheets all season including just once in the last ten.

Teams have been able to get on a roll against them and boost their goal difference, something Leicester already leads the Premier League in.

It should be another three points for the Foxes as they look to keep Liverpool in range and stay just ahead of Manchester City.

Two sides that hovering just above the relegation zone face off in a fixture that could produce plenty of goals if the recent form lines hold.

Southampton’s last six matches have all had three or more goals and their last five have seen the both teams to score market hit.

For Newcastle, both teams to score has hit in their last three home matches including a 2-2 draw with City last weekend.

The only concern here is that Newcastle might be a little bit flat on short rest but I still like their chances of scoring against a pretty poor Southampton backline.

Back Both Teams to Score @ $1.80

Another game that should see quite a few scoring chances come through with the early season cult hero Teemu Pukki working his way back into form.

He scored for the second straight match during the week against Southampton but Sheffield will be a much tougher side to break down,

It’s tough to split these teams and with Sheffield’s penchant for draws, why not take a punt on that here.

Back the Draw @ $3.40

This one is all about Wolves and whether or not they can overcome a pretty poor history against the Seagulls.

In the last four meetings between these clubs, including two Premier League matches last season, Brighton has kept a clean sheet every time and recorded three wins and a draw.

While the highly patronising “honourable losses” stat is of little comfort to pretty much anyone, the Seagulls have shown they can compete with just about anyone, even if they don’t get over the line.

What we have seen over the course of the season though is that Wolves are a much better side and should win, although with both teams to score hitting in 11 of their 15 matches so far, they might struggle to keep a clean sheet.

SGM: Wolves to Win and Both Teams to Score @ $6.14

For the most part, this fixture has favoured Arsenal but every so often, West Ham pop up and steal a point or two off the Gunners.

The thing is, West Ham is so inconsistent that you can never tell when they are going to produce an all time great or all time frustrating performance.

Meanwhile with Freddie Ljungberg still settling into life as interim Gunners boss, they are a risk to back at the moment as well.

If I had to make a pick here, I’d shade Arsenal but since I don’t and neither do you, avoid the risk in this one.

2018/2019

This is the time for squad depth to come to the fore as all 20 Premier League sides face their third game in the space of a week.

There are no signs of football fatigue just yet though, as the big games keep coming this weekend.

It is hard to look past Chelsea hosting Manchester City as the biggest contest of the weekend, but all 10 games carry a certain level of intrigue from a punting perspective.

Read on for our previews, predictions and same game multis from every Premier League fixture coming up.

Bournemouth will be eager to back up from their first win in over a month when they host the rampant Reds at the Vitality Stadium.

Unfortunately for them, the market for this game does not paint a pretty picture for their chances here and neither does their recent history.

They lost both games against Liverpool convincingly last season, 4-0 at home and 3-0 when they travelled to Anfield.

With the way Liverpool looked in the second half of their win over Burnley midweek, this game only appears to have one clear result and that is a convincing Liverpool win.

After a couple of tough games against Tottenham and Manchester United, Arsenal won’t want to overlook a tough test against relegation battlers Huddersfield.

Every point is critical for the Terriers and they will be hoping to do better than their last trip to the Emirates where they were crushed 5-0 last season.

The Gunners have not lost at home since the opening day of the Premier League season and enter this game as heavy favourites.

After their midweek draw at Old Trafford they will be eager to take all three points with a convincing performance here.

After another loss, this time against Liverpool, this season goes from bad to worse for Burnley as they prepare to host a Brighton side unbeaten in three.

They were very impressive in their last up win over Crystal Palace, especially after being reduced to 10 men in the first half.

There were no goals in either meeting between these sides last season and it would not be at all surprising if they can’t be split again.

There were more blues for Cardiff as they could not turn a promising start into points against West Ham during the week.

Southampton are one of the few sides doing worse than Cardiff this season with an 11-game winless run, most recently extended with a 3-1 loss at Tottenham during the week.

This will be the first meeting in four and a half years for these sides and both will see this as a big three points to pick up in the context of the relegation battle.

This game has the makings of a low scoring affair where one goal might just be enough to win it, although a scoreless draw would not surprise either.

SGM: Drawn Match, Under 2.5 Goals

It wasn’t pretty but Fulham’s five match losing run ended with a point at home to Leicester as they now travel to Old Trafford.

On their last trip there in 2014, they did pick up a point on a late equaliser but their last outright win at this venue came in 2003.

As you would expect this fixture has been dominated by United and even with the hosts in their current malaise.

Three straight draws and at least two of those games they should have been able to find a way to win, but something is not right with this side.

Despite the struggles Mourinho has finding a balance in his team, they still should be able to fluke their way into a couple of goals even if they turn in a wretched performance, a clean sheet probably won’t happen, but a win will.

It was hard not to be impressed with West Ham’s strong finish during the week as they wound up with a comfortable 3-1 win over Cardiff.

Palace endured a rough evening at Brighton going down 3-1 despite enjoying a man advantage for over an hour.

Consistency has been a big problem for West Ham as of late, with their midweek victory the only time they had won back to back Premier League games since January 2017.

With that in mind, even though they are still the better side compared to Palace, it would not be at all surprising to see them stumble to a draw here, especially when both meetings last season ended in a draw.

The big games just keep coming and Chelsea are next in line as they try to hand Manchester City their first Premier League defeat of the season.

After 15 games, the defending champions have won 13 and drawn twice so far and should enter this game full of confidence having won both League meetings between the sides last year.

Chelsea were flat and out of sorts against Wolves during the week and perhaps were caught with one eye on this fixture, but the fact they have won just once in their last four matches and this is one of their toughest tests of the season.

Even as a clear road favourite, City are the play here, they are just too good and should find a way to hold off Chelsea.

Tottenham’s busy schedule continues with a trip to Leicester, ahead of a massive Champions League encounter however Mauricio Pochettino cannot afford to rotate his squad too much with every point critical for his side right now.

These sides split the fixtures last season with both sides taking all three points at home and both enter this contest in decent form.

Leicester are unbeaten in their last six, by way of battling for draws and they are at a good price to repeat that effort here, although Tottenham winning four of their last five is very tough to back against.

Spurs did have trouble with Southampton early on and Leicester could get on top of them early, forcing them to battle back into the match.

After a season apart, Newcastle and Wolverhampton are reunited once again and both enter this game with relatively high levels of confidence after their midweek performances.

Newcastle battled for a draw away to Everton which has been a tough place for visiting teams and Wolves pulled off one of the best upsets of the season topping Chelsea.

With Newcastle picking up 10 points from their last five games they have been able to give themselves some breathing room away from the bottom of the table.

That being said Wolves have travelled well, picking up points in four of their seven road games and are at good value to continue their winning form.

This past week has been rough for Everton, starting off with a Merseyside Derby defeat on basically the last kick of the game before dropping points at home to Newcastle.

To close out Round 16 of the Premier League, they host a Watford side they have had mixed fortunes against over the past three seasons.

With two wins each and two draws, this is the very definition of an even fixture, however home ground advantage has been pivotal in these results.

Everton have won the last two meetings at Goodison Park and enter this game as favourites and should be able to take care of business as they look to put the last two games behind them.

2017/2018

A couple of massive derbies headline EPL Round 16 with bragging rights on Merseyside and Manchester up for grabs.

Everton are spiraling and will hope that Sam Allardyce’s familiarity with the Premier League having managed so many other clubs will come in handy when they go across the park to visit Liverpool.

Manchester United would love nothing more than to end their neighbours unbeaten start to the year.

Without a win since October 1, West Ham are going to have a hard time breaking that streak when Chelsea visit the Olympic Stadium.

The Blues last loss came on October 15^th and they have dropped points once since that day against Liverpool.

Eden Hazard is starting to look like a player of the season candidate once more and his double against Newcastle is cause for concern for all opponents going forward.

These games sometimes have the makings of a major upset, but the top five sides as a whole are on a great run of form against the rest of the league and that should continue here.

Back Chelsea to Win to Nil @ $2.45

The Premier League’s “best of the rest” face off with seventh and eighth placed sides looking to continue their impressive starts.

Burnley have lost two of their last three outings against Arsenal and Leicester but they have been far from disgraced in either showing.

Watford showed they can compete with the big boys after a 1-1 draw with Tottenham last weekend.

Neither side will want to give up any ground here and as a result of that they both drop points with a draw.

Back the Draw @ $3.10

Bournemouth will not be fazed by their trip to Selhurst Park, they are yet to lose at this venue in the Premier League.

Of course that span only covers two matches in the top flight with a 2-1 Bournemouth win and a 1-1 draw.

A lot has passed in that time and Bournemouth have not won since the November international break.

Palace are undefeated in their last four and I like them to win at home here and take another step forward.

Back Palace to Win @ $2.00

About as close to an Aussie derby as we will get in the Premier League this season with Aaron Mooy and Mat Ryan set to start for their respective clubs.

These two sides are almost inseparable having been in the same division for the past twelve seasons. Life in the Championship was slightly more favourable to Brighton with four wins and five draws in their ten meetings.

As of late Huddersfield’s solid start has come undone, losing five of six and being on the receiving end of some big scorelines.

Brighton will be looking to get bounce back from an embarrassing 5-1 loss to Liverpool and both sides will find a way to cancel each other out.

Back the Draw @ $2.90

Anchored to the bottom of the Premier League table, Swansea will view this as a great chance to get their third win of the campaign.

Fellow strugglers West Brom come to town and while a win for the home side will not be enough to get them off the bottom of the table, it would at least close the gap to the safety zone.

Swansea have won the last three matches between these sides at the Liberty Stadium.

West Brom are on a run of three straight draws and are winless since the second game of the season.

Back Swansea to Win @ $2.60

Working in Tottenham’s favour is the fact they will not have played the most competitive Champions League match midweek.

They will be relatively fresh for a league match that they desperately need to win.

Their stars are not getting the job done with just two points in their last four matches, this form slide needs to be arrested quickly.

With three straight wins against Stoke this should be the right time to get themselves back on track.

Back Tottenham to Win & Under 2.5 Goals @ $4.00

Much like last season, Leicester have experienced a resurgence after their manager has been sacked.

They have been able to grind out one goal wins in their last two games and have a great chance to do that once more when they visit a Newcastle side that cannot buy a win.

Leicester’s away form has been encouraging too with two losses, both coming in August to Manchester United and Arsenal.

Since then they are unbeaten in five and should stretch that to six here.

Back Leicester to Win @ $2.75

Until last season, league fixtures against Southampton were a cause of great frustration for Arsenal.

At one point it was three straight games where the Saints had taken points of the Gunners.

Last year though that streak snapped and Arsenal completed their first sweep in the league since their Invincibles campaign.

After a frustrating loss at home to Manchester United it is a great opportunity to bounce back and I like their odds to do just that.

Back Arsenal to Win @ 1.91

Two sides whose grounds are separated by Stanley Park get together for the 280^th time.

They say you can throw out recent form in a derby which is great for an Everton side that have struggled this season.

Their record in this fixture is not much better with their last win coming in October 2010 while Liverpool are on a run of three straight wins.

It might not be overly pretty, as derbies rarely are, but Liverpool will find a way to win and I like Salah to find the key goal.

Back Salah to score and Liverpool to Win @ $2.15

While this game will not mathematically end the title race, a win for City would put them eleven points clear at the top of the table and in their current form that is a big lead to have.

So no pressure on Manchester United to perform in this game.

They are fresh off a smash and grab win at Arsenal, who will go into this game without Paul Pogba due to suspension.

As much as they may be tempted to try and replicate that game plan here, they cannot afford to give the likes of Sergio Aguero that many chances.

It is the first midweek round of the 2016/2017 English Premier League season as the depth and fitness of the 20 teams in the competition will be tested.
