As we inch closer to Liverpool’s seemingly inevitable coronation as Premier League champions, there is still plenty to play for further down the table.
The Reds have received a favourable draw from the EPL fixtures computer with a clash against stragglers Southampton in between their massive Champions League tie with PSG.
Meanwhile nearest challengers Arsenal are tasked a trip to Old Trafford that might not be the daunting task it once was but is still going to be a challenge for Mikel Arteta’s men who are juggling their own Champions League commitments.
In the weekend’s first match, Nottingham Forest and Manchester City can ill afford to drop points with both locked in a fierce battle for the top four with several clubs in striking distance just behind them.
Find our full EPL previews and Premier League best bets for all ten matches this weekend below.
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City
Saturday 8 March, 11:30pm, The City Ground
Nottingham 1 – Manchester City 0
It’s third against fourth to kick off Matchweek 28 and there is plenty on the line for both clubs.
Both managed to advance in the FA Cup last weekend, although Forest had to work a bit harder, needing extra time to see off Ipswich while City defeated Plymouth Argyle after falling behind.
Pep Guardiola’s men won the first meeting between these teams back in December 3-0 and they have won four of the five meetings since Forest’s 2022 promotion.
You can understand why the visitors are favoured in the market (although not by the margin they would have been in the past), but Forest will no doubt see this as an opportunity to once again establish their top four credentials.
They have taken points in 11 of 13 home games so far and look like good value to at least hold serve at The City Ground.
Nottingham Forest Win/Draw Double @ $1.85
Brighton And Hove Albion vs Fulham
Sunday 9 March, 2:00am, American Express Stadium
Hot and cold Fulham are definitely in the midst of a hot streak on the back of eliminating Manchester United from the FA Cup in dramatic circumstances.
However as we have seen this season, the Cottagers form can come to a screeching halt at any given time (see the home draw with Southampton).
This is not going to be an easy trip to the south coast with Brighton now riding a five game winning streak after their FA Cup win at Newcastle.
It has been nearly eight years since Brighton won a match against Fulham but this is their best opportunity to do that this weekend.
Brighton to Win @ $2.00
Crystal Palace vs Ipswich
Sunday 9 March, 2:00am, Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace 1 – Ipswich 0
Was Ipswich’s extra time defeat in the FA Cup at Nottingham Forest a sign that the desperation has finally provided them with a wake up call, or a one off flash because it was a cup game?
On their day, Palace are flat out ruthless and they can flex their muscles this weekend with a big win over an opponent they enter the match as heavy favourites over.
Palace have won seven of their last nine fixtures with all of those victories coming by a multiple goal margin.
This should be a far more one sided affair than Palace’s 1-0 win in their first meeting this season, I’m not buying the Ipswich performance against Forest.
Crystal Palace to Win -1 Goal @ $2.25
Liverpool vs Southampton
Sunday 9 March, 2:00am, Anfield
Liverpool 3 – Southampton 1
It’s a great position for Liverpool to be in this weekend, not only have they been handed a clash with bottom placed Southampton, but they have ability to rotate the squad.
Dropping points here would not be ideal, but it is certainly a possibility if Arne Slot decides that getting past PSG and keeping the double dreams alive is the priority.
On top of that, their reserves are probably closer in quality to the Saints first team, who have lost 3-1 to Bournemouth, then 4-0 to Brighton and Chelsea in the last three weeks.
Just getting the job done is the priority for Liverpool and we might not see them win by as much as they would if they were at full strength.
Liverpool to Win and Under 4.5 Goals @ $1.91
Brentford vs Aston Villa
Sunday 9 March, 4:30am, Gtech Community Stadium
Brentford 0 – Aston Villa 1
It’s a match that Aston Villa can ill afford to drop, but they have every reason to take this clash with Brentford lightly.
Having earned a 3-1 aggregate over Brugge in the Champions League Round of 16, Unai Emery is likely prioritising the second leg at Villa Park next Thursday morning.
While a loss here might be a blow to their Premier League top four aspirations, they may feel as though they can pick up enough points in the other 10 matches that remain.
If this one took place on any other weekend, Villa would be the play but this is not a great spot for them and Brentford is the choice in this market.
Brentford to Win @ $2.30
Wolves vs Everton
Sunday 9 March, 7:00am, Molineux Stadium
There will be goals in this clash between 16th and 17th on the Premier League table but it’s anyone’s guess as to who will score them.
Everton are now unbeaten in their last seven Premier League fixtures with four wins in that run, and they have not played in a match with a clean sheet since their FA Cup loss to Bournemouth a month ago.
On the other side, Wolves have seen their share of high scoring matches this season and both teams have scored in three of their last four, with the only miss coming against Bournemouth as well.
Best bet of the weekend is backing both teams to score in a game that could finish 1-1, 4-1 or 4-4.
Both Teams to Score @ $1.91
Chelsea vs Leicester
Monday 10 March, 1:00am, Stamford Bridge
Despite losing three of their last four, Chelsea should be favoured in this market, especially after seeing what they did to another relegation candidate in Southampton in their last outing.
On that occasion they belted the Saints 4-0 and with the Foxes in all sorts, another big win for the Blues should be on the cards.
Especially when you consider Leicester have dropped their last four Premier League matches and failed to score a single goal in that time.
The only goal they have scored in February was in a 2-1 FA Cup loss at Manchester United, which was also the only game they lost by one goal.
This shapes as the perfect opportunity for Chelsea to keep a much needed clean sheet and boost the goal difference in the process.
Leicester to Score (No) @ $2.00
Tottenham vs Bournemouth
Monday 10 March, 1:00am, Tottenham Stadium
Tottenham 2 – Bournemouth 2
Stuck in lucky 13th place, Tottenham will be out for revenge after Bournemouth inflicted a 1-0 defeat on Ange Postecoglou’s side in the first meeting this season.
Both clubs have been feast or famine in terms of league results of late with Spurs’ only 90 minute draw in 2025 coming in the FA Cup against Tamworth, a match they went on to win 3-0 in extra time.
Bournemouth have had just two of their matches this calendar year end with the scores level after 90 minutes, one of which was last weekend’s FA Cup tie with Wolves.
Their nine other fixtures have seen a winner, and as slight underdogs, the visitors might just be the play here.
Something is still very much off with Tottenham and in a game like this, I am more than happy to take them on.
Bournemouth to Win @ $2.63
Manchester United vs Arsenal
Monday 10 March, 3:30am, Old Trafford
Manchester United 1 – Arsenal 1
This used to be the marquee fixture on the Premier League calendar and now it is just a sad reminder of the past glories of either team.
Arsenal appears destined to another season of runner-up syndrome as their quiet transfer windows appear to be ready to come back and haunt them.
Meanwhile, United are a proper shambles, just about the same distance from relegation as they are the top four.
Thanks to their 7-1 win in the Champions League on Wednesday morning, Arsenal should be in a position to play some more first team players here, however with their depleted squad they don’t really have the depth to rotate anyway.
Arsenal should find a way to win, but it might not be that pretty.
Arsenal to Win @ $1.78
West Ham vs Newcastle
Tuesday 11 March, 7:00am, London Stadium
We may not see the most exciting game to close out the round, as two teams with struggling attacks face off.
West Ham have scored just five goals in their last six matches, however that has been good enough for back to back wins over Arsenal and Leicester in their last two outings.
Meanwhile, Newcastle have been very much up and down, scoring four in a win over Forest and three in a win over Birmingham, but were also held to just one total goal in defeats against City, Liverpool and Brighton.
First team to score might win this one, take the under.
Under 2.5 Goals @ $2.10
2023/2024
Not to try and sound like a cheap knockoff of Peter Drury, but this weekend is shaping up as a pivotal point in a historic title race, as two heavyweights face off in a battle that will add another chapter to their storied rivalry.
To translate, Matchweek 28 is headlined by a top of the table clash between Liverpool and Manchester City with top spot the reward for the victor.
Should the match finish in a draw it would open up the window for Arsenal to move to the summit, at least temporarily with the Gunners taking on Brentford early Sunday morning.
With a catch up fixture added on to the end of the weekend’s fixtures there are 11 matches to get through in this week’s preview so read on and see who we are backing in the Premier League as we inch closer to the end of the season.
Manchester United vs Everton
Saturday 9 March, 11:30pm, Old Trafford
Manchester United 2 – Everton 0
While the blue half of Manchester will be gearing up for a season defining game, the red part will be filled with nervous dread, worrying that their team is going to blow this very winnable match.
Everton’s only win since Christmas came in an FA Cup replay against Crystal Palace, before being bundled out of that competition by Luton in the next round.
In the Premier League the Toffees have picked up five points from their last ten outings, all draws, so they are not going to trouble United right?
But this version of United is always good for one of those “I can’t believe they blew that game” moments every so often, so there is a bit of trepidation about backing them here.
However they have not lost three consecutive league matches all season and frankly, Everton have been that bad that even if United tries to throw the game away, they might struggle to do so.
Manchester United to Win @ $1.85
Bournemouth vs Sheffield United
Sunday 10 March, 2:00am, Vitality Stadium
Bournemouth 2 – Sheffield United 2
It’s not very often that Bournemouth would go into a Premier League match as a $1.33 favourite, but Sheffield United has been that bad it still looks like a generous price for the Cherries.
The Blades have lost six of their last seven, with their streak only briefly interrupted by a shock win over lowly Luton and last week they were utterly rubbish in their 6-0 loss to Arsenal.
They were so bad that when Martin Odegaard scored four minutes into the match, the UK commentary team offered up the earliest ever “that goal had been coming” and they were so poor it was 5-0 to the Gunners at halftime.
Forget that they have already picked up two more points than the historically bad Derby team of 2007/2008, this is one of, if not the worst Premier League teams of all time.
In fact, Sheffield has been so bad, I’ll take Bournemouth to win by multiple goals.
Bournemouth to Win -1 Goal @ $1.91
Crystal Palace vs Luton
Sunday 10 March, 2:00am, Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace 1 – Luton 1
There really isn’t a good case to make for either of these teams to win this match, at best you argue that one is far more likely to lose it than the other.
At least in Palace’s case, they have enjoyed some positive results over the last few weeks with a draw against Everton and a win over Burnley.
The same cannot be said about Luton, who have lost their last five fixtures in all competitions, conceding 18 goals in the process.
If you add in the draw with Newcastle prior to this streak starting, that number grows to 22 goals in six matches.
Palace have not exactly been watertight at the back either, keeping just two clean sheets in their last nine matches and those came against Everton and Burnley.
Back in November we saw Luton pull off a 2-1 win at home, and with neither side inspiring a lot of confidence, I’ll back the overs as both defences look likely to struggle.
Over 2.5 Goals @ $1.80
Wolves vs Fulham
Sunday 10 March, 2:00am, Molineux Stadium
With both of these clubs all but safe from relegation and still capable of going on a run to secure European football next season, this could be an interesting clash between two teams in decent form.
Fulham took out an entertaining 3-2 encounter at Craven Cottage last November and will be feeling pretty good about themselves after consecutive wins over Manchester United and Brighton.
However Wolves have been playing pretty well lately, the 3-0 defeat at Newcastle last week notwithstanding.
Since Matchweek 18, Gary O’Neil’s side have won six and drawn one to climb into the top ten on the Premier League table and I’m expecting a bounce back performance here.
Not enough to win but getting a point off Fulham should be seen as a good result at this point in time.
Draw @ $3.30
Arsenal vs Brentford
Sunday 10 March, 4:30am, Emirates Stadium
No team has benefitted from the midseason break more than Arsenal, winning seven straight Premier League fixtures since mid-January.
If that was not impressive enough, during that run they have won 5-0 twice and 6-0 twice, with the latter coming most recently at Sheffield United on Tuesday morning.
A win over Brentford would put them on top of the Premier League table for at least 24 hours and doing so in a comfortable manner would also allow them to set up for their Champions League tie against Porto during the week.
However just about every Gunners fan knows how quickly the narrative around this team can change, especially if they were to drop a match like this.
While they should win this game, their Premier League leading defence might find itself breached at least once given Brentford’s talented attack.
Arsenal has conceded in four of their last five home games but I still am going to back them to pick up all three points.
Arsenal to Win and Both Teams to Score @ $2.65
Aston Villa vs Tottenham
Monday 11 March, 12:00am, Villa Park
Aston Villa 0 – Tottenham 4
While the match at the Etihad a couple of hours after this one takes top billing for the weekend, this one is pretty clear in second spot.
Aston Villa and Tottenham have been two of the most entertaining sides to watch this season and we should be in for an exciting clash at Villa Park.
Unai Emery’s side has won its last three matches and both teams to score has hit in their last five outings.
Spurs have been much improved in the last few weeks with 10 points from their last five matches to keep their hopes of a Champions League return alive.
However with Villa five points clear in that critical fourth spot they will want to not only maintain that advantage but ad to it with a win over their nearest rivals.
Villa has won 10 of 13 Premier League fixtures at home this season and I’ll back them to make it 11 here.
Aston Villa to Win and Both Teams to Score @ $3.30
Brighton And Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest
Monday 11 March, 1:00am, Amex Stadium
Brighton 1 – Nottingham 0
Brighton’s bubble has definitely burst as the Seagulls have picked up just five Premier League wins since September 30 and a grand total of 24 points from their last 20 matches.
On the plus side they have still been playing in some wild and entertaining matches with plenty of goals being scored either by them or their opponents.
I’m going to back this trend to continue as we should see both teams scoring in a match that could go either way.
Over 2.5 Goals @ $1.60
West Ham vs Burnley
Monday 11 March, 1:00am, London Stadium
This claret and blue derby offers up a great chance for West Ham to pick up another three points as they push for more European football next season.
Burnley have had a season only marginally better than Sheffield United, whose goal difference is keeping them off the foot of the table.
Vincent Kompany’s first time as a Premier League manager has not been an enjoyable one with his side losing their last four matches and failing to score in their last three.
While the Irons’ defence is not perfect, they are going to be more than capable of keeping the league’s second least potent attack at bay.
West Ham to Win to Nil @ $3.00
Liverpool vs Manchester City
Monday 11 March, 2:45am, Anfield
Liverpool 1 – Manchester City 1
Wouldn’t it just be fitting for Liverpool to take control of the Premier League title race by defeating City at Anfield and opening up a four point gap on the reigning champions.
Of course City will also want to take full advantage of this opportunity to ascend to the summit with 10 matches to go and they have the runs on the board in recent seasons.
They could not be split at the Etihad in November with Erling Haaland and Trent Alexander-Arnold scoring for each team.
But neither of those players will be key in this one, no player in the league is in better form than Phil Foden and he is the one capable of swinging this match in favour of his side.
Which in this case is great news for Manchester City and Pep Guardiola.
Manchester City to Win @ $2.25
Chelsea vs Newcastle
Tuesday 12 March, 7:00am, Stamford Bridge
In the last four competitive meetings between these clubs, Newcastle has won or been level after 90 minutes in each of those matches and after last week’s win over Wolves.
They are a much better chance of getting something from this trip to London that the market suggests in spite of their inconsistent away form.
It might only be a draw but the Magpies are more than capable of causing more grief for the Blues.
Newcastle or Draw Double Chance @ $1.87
Bournemouth vs Luton
Thursday 14 March, 6:30am, Vitality Stadium
*RESCHEDULED FROM MATCHWEEK 17*
This will be the second time this match has taken place, with the initial fixture being abandoned after 59 minutes when Luton captain Tom Lockyer suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch.
In that initial prediction I took Bournemouth to win to nil, but the form line of the Cherries does not exactly inspire confidence in that same predicted outcome.
Luton’s defence has fallen apart lately and it’s tough to see them backing up and being at full capacity after their weekend engagements.
Bournemouth have struggled to keep clean sheets of late and I’m going to back a high scoring match to wrap up the round.
Over 3.5 Goals @ $2.20
2022/2023
It’s a short weekend in the Premier League with only seven fixtures being played thanks to the FA Cup Quarter Finals also taking place over the coming days.
League leaders Arsenal are back in action and the Premier League title race has now become their sole focus after their European campaign came to an end on Friday.
All three teams in the relegation zone are in action this weekend as well with the opportunity for each team to temporarily lift themselves out of danger will have them very motivated.
Read on for our previews and predictions for every fixture below.

POSTPONED DUE TO FA CUP FIXTURES
Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle
Saturday 18 March, 7:00am, The City Ground
Forest’s winless run has now reached five matches after last weekend’s 3-1 defeat in North London.
As for Newcastle, they arrested their slide by not only scoring a goal for the first time in over a month, but also picking up their first Premier League win since mid-January when they got the better of Wolves.
Realistically this should be a fairly straightforward evening’s work for the Magpies as they look to keep their top four push alive against an out of form opponent.
Last time they met it was a 2-0 win for Newcastle and a similar outcome is what we are going to back to start the weekend off.
Back Newcastle to Win & Over 1.5 Goals @ $2.15
Aston Villa vs Bournemouth
Sunday 19 March, 2:00am, Villa Park
Bournemouth’s quest for survival took a massive step forward last week with a win over Liverpool and up next is a trip to the Midlands to take on a Villa side that is only five points off that magical 40 mark that usually signifies safety.
The Cherries won on opening weekend when these teams faced off, getting the better of the then Steven Gerrard managed Villains and desperation means their $5.00 quote might be worth a flyer.
However we’re going to look for something a bit more on the safe side and there is value to be found backing both teams to score.
That market has hit in three of the last five matches for both clubs and the Cherries have one of the Premier League’s worst defensive records.
Back Both Teams to Score @ $1.83
Brentford vs Leicester
Sunday 19 March, 2:00am, Brentford Community Stadium
The Bees bounced back from their shock loss to Everton by comfortably accounting for Southampton in a midweek catch up fixture.
Considering the horrendous form of Leicester, this might just be the best value bet of the week with the Foxes staring down the barrel of a sixth straight loss in all competitions.
They might have drawn 2-2 on the opening day but based on recent performances, only one team is capable of winning this one and that is who we are backing here.
Back Brentford to Win @ $1.91
Southampton vs Tottenham
Sunday 19 March, 2:00am, St Mary’s Stadium
Spurs were able to bounce back from their Champions League elimination with a clinical win at home against Nottingham Forest.
It’s a bit of a surprise to see their win price as high as it is even when you consider the struggles on their last two trips to St Mary’s which has produced just one point of a possible six.
However as we have said on multiple occasions this season, the Saints luck avoiding the drop appears to have run out and we will happily take the hosts on in this match.
Back Tottenham to Win @ $1.80
Wolves vs Leeds
Sunday 19 March, 2:00am, Molineux Stadium
Wolves might have felt like they deserved more from their loss to Newcastle but they can take some of their frustrations out on a reeling Leeds side.
It is a relegation six pointer in every sense of the word despite Wolves entering the weekend in 13th place, as they sit just four points clear of Leeds who are one spot above the foot of the table.
At home, you have to like Wolves in this spot because on the balance of the recent evidence both have supplied, they are a better team.
Back Wolves to Win @ $2.25
Chelsea vs Everton
Sunday 19 March, 4:30am, Stamford Bridge
A week in football is a very long time and Chelsea has the chance to put a horrible start to 2023 behind them with a fourth consecutive win this weekend.
The Blues secured Champions League progression in between back to back Premier League victories over relegation battlers Leeds and Leicester, which bodes well when they face Everton here.
Sean Dyche will find a way to turn this game into a physical scrap as he is wont to do, but the Blues have the capacity to win this arm wrestle by keeping the Toffees limited in attack.
The last five games between the two sides have all gone under the total goals number and we’re going to back that trend to continue as defence rules the day.
Back Under 2.5 Goals @ $1.73
Arsenal vs Crystal Palace
Monday 20 March, 1:00am, Emirates Stadium
The Gunners European campaign came to a halt, but you get the feeling that the frustration of their elimination at the hands of Sporting Lisbon will dissipate with a convincing win over an out of form Crystal Palace.
With Manchester City out of action in the league, Arsenal have a chance to pad their advantage to eight points (having played an extra match) and the pursuit of their first league title in almost 20 years is their sole focus now.
Palace are very much in a rut with a three match losing streak where they have failed to register a shot on target, adding to a winless run that dates back to the start of the 2023 calendar year.
Their attack has been nothing short of woeful with a grand total of five goals in 12 matches and as long as the Gunners can keep the bulk of their best 11 intact from Friday morning, they should handle their London rivals here.
Back Arsenal to Win to Nil @ $1.87
2021/2022
The Premier League rolls on with some exciting fixtures in Game Week 28!
The action peaks when City and United write the next chapter in their storied rivalry early on Monday morning AEDT, but there are ten winners to be found in total.
You can find our complete Premier League Week 28 Preview below.
Leicester vs Leeds
Saturday 5 March, 11:30pm, King Power Stadium
Leicester City hosts Leeds first-up on Saturday night (AEDT), and betting understandably suggests it could be a very one-sided affair.
The Foxes certainly haven’t enjoyed their best season on record, but they did snap a worrying winless streak away to Burnley last weekend.
Leeds meanwhile have suffered four losses in succession leading into this match, leaking ten goals with none for in their last two.
The result appears to be an open and shut case.
Back Leicester to Win to Nil ($3.70)
Aston Villa vs Southampton
Sunday 6 March, 2:00am, Villa Park
Aston Villa 4 – Southampton 0
An intriguing battle is set to take place at Villa Park in the early hours of Sunday morning, and there is a case to be made for both the home side, and the travelling Saints.
Villa did struggle for a few weeks through February, but they take their place in this match following a much-needed win over Brighton.
Southampton meanwhile have been enjoying a lovely patch of form, and they are unlucky not to have won each of their last four league matches.
I don’t have as much between these clubs as the bookies seem to, and I am going to take the value around Southampton as outsiders.
Back Southampton to Win @ $3
Burnley vs Chelsea
Sunday 6 March, 2:00am, Turf Moor
At first glance, one of the more one-sided fixtures of the round looks like materialising between Burnley and Chelsea on Sunday morning (AEDT).
At second glance, we have a Burnley side that actually hasn’t been terrible recently, and a Chelsea side dealing with plenty off the field with owner Roman Abramovic.
Still, there is quite clearly still a big class difference between these two clubs, and anything close to their best would be enough to see Chelsea winning.
I think that there’s plenty of value to be extracted deeper into the markets for this one.
Back Chelsea to Win Not to Nil @ $3.75
Newcastle vs Brighton And Hove Albion
Sunday 6 March, 2:00am, St James’ Park
Newcastle have found some serious form, and they will be confident of recording another win over the Seagulls on Matchday 28.
Eddie Howe’s impact cannot be undersold, and the Magpies are yet to taste defeat in the league this year, winning four of their last five matches to continue the ascent.
Brighton’s positive start to the season means that they are still sitting tenth overall, but they are beginning to freefall after three-consecutive defeats.
I think that recent form trends will continue this week.
Back Newcastle to Win @ $2.70
Norwich vs Brentford
Sunday 6 March, 2:00am, Carrow Road
Two strugglers will lock horns when Norwich City welcomes Brentford this weekend, and given their recent form and respective positions on the table, it’s probably going to be one of the tighter contests of the round.
Norwich remain anchored to the bottom of the table and seemingly, cannot buy a win at this point. They are on the short and narrow towards demotion again, and they need to salvage as many points as possible from this point on. This is one of those opportunities.
Brentford’s rise to the Premier League has been well documented, but their form since the beginning of the year has also been lacking, and they are now in serious danger go going straight back down to The Championship.
I’m going to stay on the fence.
Back the Draw @ $3.10
Wolves vs Crystal Palace
Sunday 6 March, 2:00am, Molineux Stadium
Wolves 0 – Crystal Palace 2
Eighth-placed Wolves host eleventh-placed Crystal Palace, and each will be confident in their chances of winning.
Wolves have actually suffered two losses in succession leading into this match, but their overall record this season is positive, and it certainly isn’t panic stations just yet.
Palace meanwhile have only recorded six wins this campaign, but a further twelve draws have them still well and truly on the road towards another top ten finish.
I think that this one will end in a stalemate as well.
Back the Draw @ $3
Liverpool vs West Ham
Sunday 6 March, 4:30am, Anfield
Liverpool are firing on all cylinders, and they should record another win over West Ham on Matchday 28.
It’s hard to believe that the Hammers actually beat the Reds earlier this season, and even though this is two top five sides, Liverpool are just a better side that West Ham – it’s that simple.
I think that the $10 about West Ham is a little harsh, but I also can’t imagine a situation where they win this match, so the bookies are probably spot on! I’m looking elsewhere for the value again.
Back Mohamed Salah to Score the First Goal @ $3.60
Watford vs Arsenal
Monday 7 March, 1:00am, Vicarage Road
This weekend’s London Derby will see Watford take on Arsenal at Vicarage Road.
Neither of these two clubs are ever particularly trustworthy from a betting perspective, but this is yet another case of one club just being far stronger than the other, and that is echoed in our head-to-head prices.
Watford have enjoyed a nice run of seasons in England’s topflight, but they find themselves in a pretty dire position with only a couple of months remaining, and it’s tough imagining them reversing their fortunes this week.
Back Arsenal to Win to Nil @ $2.50
Manchester City vs Manchester United
Monday 7 March, 3:30am, Etihad Stadium
Manchester City 4 – Manchester United 1
There are few rivalries in world sport bigger than the Manchester Derby, and we’ll be treated to the next edition on Matchday 28.
City have been the league’s benchmark for many seasons now, and perhaps unsurprisingly, they’ve pretty much dominated this one as well. They’ve well and truly had the wood over their crosstown rivals for a while, and they’ll likely win this meeting as well.
Manchester United are by no means easy beats, and they have gone a long way towards restoring some pride in their famous crest this season.

Tottenham vs Everton
Tuesday 8 March, 7:00am, Tottenham Stadium
Spurs and Everton are typically in that list of ‘the best of the rest’ in the Premier League each season, but the latter is in some serious danger this time around, and they probably can’t win again on Matchday 28.
Spurs have continued to do what they do best, and that is winning more of the time and challenging for a Champions League berth. They currently sit seventh overall, but well within reach of their major rivals.
Everton meanwhile sit seventeenth, and with other results going against them, could incredibly finish the weekend in the relegation zone.

2020/2021
North London bragging rights go on the line as Arsenal’s clash with Tottenham headlines this weekend’s Premier League action.
That’s just one of several key matches in the race for the top four and relegation battles.
Find out who we are backing in every single match below.
Newcastle vs Aston Villa
Saturday 13 March, 7:00am, St James’ Park
Newcastle 1 – Aston Villa 1
Any opportunity to back against Newcastle at this price should be leapt upon without a second thought.
Two wins in their last 16 Premier League matches has them one point above the drop zone, and injuries look likely to rob them of their main attacking threats Almiron and Saint-Maximin once again.
On the other hand, after being left out of last weekend’s 0-0 draw with Wolves, it would not be a surprise to see Villa captain Jack Grealish return for this fixture.
Even if he is not involved, Villa should be able to stumble into a goal or two against an increasingly inept Magpies outfit.
Back Aston Villa to Win @ $2.00
Leeds vs Chelsea
Saturday 13 March, 11:30pm, Elland Road
Leeds have well and truly hit the wall, and it does not seem overly likely that they will find a way to end their scoring woes against a stout Chelsea side.
Heading into this fixture the Blues have kept four consecutive clean sheets and have been granted a new lease of life by Thomas Tuchel.
Considering Leeds have been kept scoreless in three of their last four matches, I can’t see them matching Chelsea.
There’s value to be had in backing Chelsea to Win to Nil ($3.20) but I’ll go for the slightly safer option and back a simple Chelsea win.
Back Chelsea to Win @ $1.75
Crystal Palace vs West Bromwich Albion
Sunday 14 March, 2:00am, Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace 1 – West Brom 0
Considering they have failed to score more than one goal in their last seven matches, it’s kind of impressive that West Brom have taken six points in that time.
Palace’s attack has been equally stagnant, scoring a grand total of six goals in their last eight matches.
Perhaps someone might accidentally score in this fixture but I can’t see the ball finding the back of the net more than once.

Everton’s run of three wins with clean sheets came to an end against Chelsea but they have the perfect opportunity to bounce back against a struggling Burnley side.
They have drawn four of their last five matches, including taking back to back points off Leicester and Arsenal.
Not to mention Burnley held Everton to a 1-1 draw so there is every chance they could make life tough for the Toffees.
Everton look like they are a little bit over the odds here considering the contrasting forms between the two teams and I’ll back them in to win.

Fulham vs Manchester City
Sunday 14 March, 7:00am, Craven Cottage
Fulham 0 – Manchester City 3
City’s remarkable winning streak might have come to an end in the derby, but they bounced back by putting five past Southampton during the week.
They can continue their course correction and march to the Premier League title when they take on Fulham.
Perhaps the only issues they may run into here is a combination of fixture fatigue and having one eye on their looming Champions League clash with Borussia Monchengladbach.
Fulham might have defeated Liverpool at Anfield in their last Premier League outing but overall they just don’t have the firepower to break down City’s defence.
I’ll stick with the standard Manchester City play.

Southampton vs Brighton And Hove Albion
Sunday 14 March, 11:00pm, St Mary’s Stadium
Southampton 1 – Brighton 2
The Saints picked up a vital three points against Southampton last week and they face another six pointer against fellow battlers Brighton.
The Seagulls’ last victory came on February 4 against Liverpool and two points from their last five league matches has them in dire need of maximum points from this fixture.
Southampton won their December clash 2-1 on the south coast but it’s hard to see this match being anything other than an overly cautious affair.
I can’t split these teams and the draw is the standout play in this market.
Back the Draw @ $3.10
Leicester vs Sheffield United
Monday 15 March, 1:00am, King Power Stadium
Leicester 5 – Sheffield 0
The form line, the stats, the trends and overall common sense points to only one outcome for this match.
Sheffield United remains anchored to the foot of the Premier League table with 22 defeats from 28 matches.
Leicester on the other hand is in third place and will need to keep up their current rate of results to stay clear of the chasing pack.
When you add in the fact Leicester has won all three Premier League meetings since Sheffield’s most recent promotion.
I’ll back the Foxes to win this with at least a two goal margin of victory.
Back Leicester -1 Goal @ $2.45
Arsenal vs Tottenham
Monday 15 March, 3:30am, Emirates Stadium
It would be foolhardy to assume that just because Arsenal have been struggling lately and Spurs are finding some spectacular form, that this North London Derby is going the way of the visitors.
Despite their struggles week in, week out, Mikel Arteta’s side have shown an ability to produce in big games.
Spurs have not won a Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium since 2010 and I just can’t bring myself to back them in here.
Instead, I’ll back Arteta to get his side fired up as they slow down Tottenham’s surging strike force enough to nab a draw.
Back the Draw @ $3.20
Manchester United vs West Ham
Monday 15 March, 6:15am, Old Trafford
Manchester United 1 – West Ham 0
It seems fitting that after three consecutive 0-0 draws, United finds a way to break that run in a Manchester Derby with a 2-0 victory.
Up next is a West Ham side they are robbing of a huge attacking threat with Jesse Lingard ineligible for the match due to being a United loanee.
That will not make life any easier for the Irons as they try and break down what has been a stout United defence.
Such is Lingard’s importance to West Ham, I’ll back United with full confidence.
Back Manchester United to Win @ $1.80
Wolves vs Liverpool
Tuesday 16 March, 7:00am, Molineux Stadium
Liverpool demolished Wolves 4-0 in their most recent meeting but the Reds have fallen flat on their face in the last couple of months.
Wolves start to 2021 has not been much better with just three Premier League wins since the new year, seemingly ending their hopes of returning to Europe next season.
I can’t back either of these sides with any confidence at the moment and this fixture seems headed for a low scoring affair.

2019/2020
It’s a relatively light weekend of English Premier League action coming up with two fixtures postponed due to Monday morning’s Carabao Cup Final between Aston Villa and Manchester City.
While those two fixtures will take place later on this season, we still have plenty of exciting action on the cards with the eight fixtures we still have scheduled.
There’s going to be plenty to watch Sunday night as Everton hosts Manchester United and Tottenham takes on Wolves.
Read on for our previews and betting plays for Matchweek 28 in the English Premier League right here.

Norwich vs Leicester
Saturday 29 February, 7:00am, Carrow Road
It really is boom or bust with Leicester at the moment as they watch Manchester City pull further and further out of reach.
Despite still sitting comfortably in third place, their recent form is quite concerning with just three Premier League wins since mid-December.
Their form slump actually began with a 1-1 draw at home to then second last Norwich and now the Canaries are firmly anchored to the bottom of the table.
Even with Leicester’s recent struggles I still like them to get by a pretty poor Norwich team, but it’s not worth trying to get too creative with something on top of an outright win like over 2.5 goals or both teams to score.
Back Leicester to Win @ $1.69
Brighton And Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace
Saturday 29 February, 11:30pm, Amex Stadium
Brighton 0 – Crystal Palace 1
Two sides that struggle to score a lot of goals and in desperate need of an uptick in form will face off in the first match Saturday night.
15th placed Brighton has drawn ten matches in the Premier League this season with half of those coming since New Years Day as they just can’t seem to pick up a win lately.
Palace stumbled home against a poor Newcastle side for their first league win since December 27, but Brighton have done a good job avoiding defeat at the Amex Stadium this year, losing just three of 13 matches.
Earlier in the season these sides drew 1-1 at Selhurst Park and I’ll take the value of a similar result here.
Back the Draw @ $3.20
Bournemouth vs Chelsea
Sunday 1 March, 2:00am, Vitality Stadium
Bournemouth 2 – Chelsea 2
It might actually help Chelsea out that this match is away from Stamford Bridge, considering they have actually picked up more points on the road than at home this season.
With seven wins and two draws from 13 matches, their 23 points away from home is the equal third best number in the league and more than the 21 they have taken at home.
Bournemouth’s home form isn’t exactly spectacular either with 16 points from 13 games while scoring a grand total of 15 goals as well.
There is actually a decent case to be made for backing Bournemouth here though, Chelsea’s form is wildly inconsistent, they will be backing up from a tough Champions League fixture with Bayern Munich and they have defeated them in their last two meetings.
Even with that though, it’s just too hard to back against Chelsea in this game with their strong road form and I’ll make it to nil considering both teams to score has failed to hit in the last five meetings between these sides.
Back Chelsea to Win to Nil @ $3.00
Newcastle vs Burnley
Sunday 1 March, 2:00am, St James’ Park
The market for this game looks way off considering the respective form of these sides.
Newcastle is a slight favourite at home despite back to back losses which have followed back to back draws.
Burnley on the other hand has taken 13 points from its last five games and doesn’t look like slowing down anytime soon.
At that price I can’t help but take Burnley to win this one and (temporarily) overtake Arsenal in ninth place.
Back Burnley to Win @ $2.90
West Ham vs Southampton
Sunday 1 March, 2:00am, London Stadium
West Ham 3 – Southampton 1
By the looks of things, Southampton will manage to survive again simply because they are mostly able to beat the sides at or below their level and pick up enough points to not be in the bottom three.
West Ham is one of those teams that is currently below Southampton thanks to an appalling run of results which has seen them pick up one win since Christmas.
While the Saints should win this game I’m happy to stay out of it from a betting (and viewing) perspective since they are more than capable of falling on their face at any given time.
NO BET
Watford vs Liverpool
Sunday 1 March, 4:30am, Vicarage Road
If you really want to overthink this, West Ham were able to give the Reds a real scare on Tuesday morning so maybe Jurgen Klopp’s side is starting to falter just a little bit.
Maybe they are operating just a little bit below the unbelievably high standards they have set for themselves and the competition throughout this season but they should still have no trouble with Watford.
Consider that the Hornet’s last goal against Liverpool came on August 12, 2017 in a 3-3 draw on the opening weekend of that season.
Since then Liverpool have kept four straight clean sheets in this fixture winning 5-0, 3-0, 5-0 and 2-0.
Someone, at some point will end Liverpool’s unbeaten run but even the most optimistic of Watford fans (i.e. Elton John) wouldn’t be holding out much if any hope of that.
I’ll write off Liverpool’s stumble against West Ham as a blip and back them with a -1 handicap here.
Back Liverpool to Win -1 Goal @ $2.15
Everton vs Manchester United
Monday 2 March, 1:00am, Goodison
Everton 1 – Manchester United 1
We are a long way removed from the days of the David Moyes derby in this fixture but you could do a lot worse than backing the resurgent Everton to take something from this match.
Carlo Ancelotti has his side humming and brief blip against the also improving Arsenal aside, they are playing entertaining football with some of their young talents really shining under the Italian’s management.
I’m happy to stay out of the result market as it looks about where I would have it but there is a decent chance for a positive return in the Both Teams to Score option if you expect this game to be played on Everton’s terms.
That market has hit in the Toffee’s last five matches and I think this one might be a race to two or even three goals so I’ll take both teams to score here.
Back Both Teams to Score @ $1.73
Tottenham vs Wolverhampton
Monday 2 March, 1:00am, Tottenham Stadium
In a vacuum there is every reason to feel good about Wolves chances in this match but it does come with a bit of a warning sign as they will be backing up from a Europa League trip to Espanyol.
Although they have a comfortable 4-0 aggregate lead in that tie, it would be remiss of the club to just send out the kids although the big names like Diogo Jota might be saved for this, slightly more in doubt match.
Not to mention Spurs and their lack of striking options suggests that if they fall behind and have to chase this game, Wolves might be able to keep them at bay.
They have not lost back to back games against Spurs since the 2003/2004 season and after losing at home two months ago, I’ll take them to at pick up a valuable point here.
Back the Draw @ $3.20
2018/2019
One way to get over the midweek malaise is to wake up to some Premier League football.
There’s plenty to look forward to this week, most notably Chelsea and Tottenham facing off after disappointing results over the weekend.
Of course the drama is not consigned to the race for the top four with Leicester bidding farewell to manager Claude Puel after another disappointing result over the weekend.
All 20 English Premier League sides are in action Wednesday and Thursday morning so read on for our previews, predictions and same game multis.
Cardiff vs Everton
Wednesday 27 February, 6:45am, Cardiff City Stadium
Cardiff’s winning streak came to a halt at two on the weekend with a massive 5-1 defeat at the hands of Watford.
Thanks to other results, the Bluebirds were able to avoid dropping into the relegation zone and have a chance to get back on track against an Everton side slowly dropping down the table.
The Toffees have lost three in a row but had had 17 days off as the side looks to get itself right for the run home.
The key to solving that problem is finding a way to score with just three goals in the last five matches.
Cardiff is one of only three sides to concede 50 or more goals so far this season and have been able to score in each of their last four matches so instead of banking on one team to have a turnaround in form back a high scoring match.

Huddersfield Town vs Wolverhampton
Wednesday 27 February, 6:45am, John Smith’s Stadium
Huddersfield 1 – Wolves 0
Huddersfield is coming off a loss (again) as their relegation edges closer and closer to “confirmed” status.
Wolves on the other hand are flying in their return to the Premier League and a draw with Bournemouth gave a good indicator of where the side is at.
This has the potential to get ugly but with both sides coming off relatively short rest, don’t be surprised if there are a few flat moments here.
Either way Wolves should be able to take an early lead and add to it in the second half.

Leicester City vs Brighton And Hove Albion
Wednesday 27 February, 6:45am, King Power Stadium
The latest team to hope for the new manager boost is Leicester as the Foxes look to get their first Premier League win since New Years Day.
Interim bosses Mike Stowell and Adam Sadler face their first test at home against a Brighton side having a similar poor run of form.
With just two points in 2019, Brighton is suddenly in danger of ending up in a relegation battle as well.
Leicester has won two of the three Premier League meetings between the two sides including a 2-0 win at the King Power Stadium last year and can be backed in to win outright here.

Wednesday 27 February, 7:00am, St James’ Park
When these sides faced off back in November, Newcastle picked up its first win over Burnley since 1982 and find themselves favoured to complete the double this week.
It won’t come easy by any stretch with Burnley on a phenomenal run, unbeaten in its last eight and picking up 18 of its 30 points for the season since December 30.
Newcastle is on a good run of their own with three wins and a draw from its last five but it’s hard to feel good backing against Burnley at the moment.
Coming off a confidence boosting win over Tottenham back Burnley to come away with a all three points here.

Thursday 28 February, 6:45am, Emirates Stadium
Arsenal 5 – Bournemouth 1
It’s still not quite the Gunners we are used to seeing but they are grinding out results to climb back up to fourth spot thanks to four wins from their last five.
The Emirates has been a very strong venue for Arsenal only dropping points there in three Premier League games this season.
Bournemouth will provide a very stern test here though, currently sitting in tenth place and with the confidence of a good run of recent form.
At the Emirates though this matchup has only gone one way with Arsenal winning every game by two goals.
Add in the fact the Gunners have won four of their last five Premier League home games by 2 or more goals and the handicap market is the play for this game.

Second last against third last in a game that will leave one or both in potentially dire straits.
Fulham can pull back some points but still have a lot of work in front of them while Southampton can try to jump up one or two spots with a win.
With three straight losses on their ledger, Fulham have a tough task ahead of them and Southampton have lost two on the trot as well.
There’s a simple rule behind the play for this game, when two bad sides face off, take the home team.

Which side will be able to bounce back from their weekend losses?
Chelsea lost to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup Final, going down on penalties while Tottenham stumbled at Burnley and now these two sides are involved in the match of the round.
It continues a very busy run for Spurs as they face a North London Derby and Champions League tie in the seven days after this match.
The Blues on the other hand had a controversial ending to the game with a goalkeeper change coming, not coming and maybe happening in this game?
With neither side really able to drop points, back a cagey draw in this case.

That’s four Premier League games without defeat for Crystal Palace after a big win over Leicester over the weekend.
Of course, four in a row in the Premier League is just a speck on United’s league run which is now at ten without defeat.
There’s a few injuries to start to worry about with the midfield being somewhat decimated against Liverpool.
Even so, there’s just too much of a talent gap between these sides for anything other than three points for United here.

With three draws from its last four games, is there something to worry about with Liverpool?
A draw at Old Trafford is nothing to worry about in isolation but add it on to draws against Leicester and West Ham and there’s a pattern emerging.
Watford has worked its way up to seventh place on the table with just one Premier League loss in 2019 so far.
Realistically you have to like Liverpool to win but there is no value in that play whatsoever and as a pure value bet, take Watford to get something out of this game.

Leicester City vs Stoke City
Saturday 24 February, 11:30pm, King Power Stadium
Stoke come to the King Power Stadium with the worst away record in the league and two points off the safety of seventeenth place.
Leicester’s campaign has been built on the strength of their home form but for the most part they have struggled to find any sort of consistency with just one win from their last five fixtures.
At the King Power this fixture has been very favourable for Leicester with 2-0 and 3-0 wins in the last two meetings.
That run is at good odds to continue and is the play for this game.
Back Leicester to Win @ $ 1.73
Liverpool vs West Ham
Sunday 25 February, 2:00am, Anfield
These sides are both tied for the Premier League’s longest active winning streak (at one) and will obviously be looking to extend it to a grand total of two in this game.
Both sides were not involved in the FA Cup over the weekend although Liverpool did have a confidence boosting win in the Champions League.
With an up and down history against West Ham, they will need to be on guard for another of their patented slip ups here.
Before their current two match winning streak, they had gone five matches without a win against West Ham.
Even so they are in fine form at the moment and should be able to take care of business here.

West Bromwich Albion vs Huddersfield
Sunday 25 February, 2:00am, The Hawthorns
Huddersfield’s Cup run came to an end at the hands of Manchester United over the weekend so now their sole focus for the remainder of the season is securing Premier League survival.
West Brom’s cup dream also came to an end at the hands of Southampton as they now try to pull themselves off the bottom of the table.
They have picked up two of their three wins at home and have scored twice in each of their last two games at The Hawthorns.
With a vulnerable Huddersfield side coming to town that has just eight points away from home, West Brom are the play in this game to at least keep some hope of Premier League survival.
Back West Brom to Win @ $1.95
Burnley vs Southampton
Sunday 25 February, 2:00am, Turf Moor
Burnley have claimed the last two meetings between these sides and three of five since 2014/2015.
Goals have not been flowing in their matches with three for and five against in their last five matches.
When you add in Southampton’s relatively low scoring attack it would be a big surprise if this game finished with any more than two goals.
That play does not have a lot of great value and with Southampton’s recent form, it is looking likely that they can get a big win away from home.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Swansea
Sunday 25 February, 2:00am, Amex Stadium
Two sides coming off FA Cup action as Brighton celebrate a victory while Swansea are being dragged into a replay with Sheffield Wednesday after failing to score.
Swansea’s Premier League resurgence is rather impressive as they managed to avoid defeat for the fifth straight time and six out of the last seven matches.
Brighton have picked up at least one point in their last three and just one point separates these teams on the table.
I like the value of Swansea, even playing away from home, to pull off a win here.

Bournemouth vs Newcastle
Sunday 25 Februay, 2:00am, Vitality Stadium
Newcastle have had two weeks to enjoy their upset win over Manchester United having missed out on the FA Cup over the weekend.
Bournemouth meanwhile have had two weeks to stew over a 4-1 loss to Huddersfield and would be expected to come out firing at home.
In terms of the table both sides are still very much in need of points to ensure their Premier League survival.
Bournemouth won the first meeting between these sides and are favoured to get up again.
Desperation can do funny things to a team’s performance however and as such, look for a battling draw in this one.
Back the Draw @ $3.40
Watford vs Everton
Sunday 25 February, 4:30am, Vicarage Road
Watford have been a favourable opponent for Everton in the Premier League, winning two and drawing two of the five meetings since Watford’s return to the top flight.
They do only have one point from two wins at Vicarage Road however as Watford have put up a strong resistance at home.
Both sides have put together a decent run of form of late taking points from four of their last five and will enter this game fresh after a weekend off.
It is too hard to split these sides and as such a draw seems like the most profitable play.

Crystal Palace vs Tottenham
Sunday 25 February, 11:00pm, Selhurst Park
Tottenham have been dragged into another FA Cup replay adding to their already packed schedule while Palace enter this game desperate for their first win in five games.
Selhurst Park has been a profitable venue for Palace, picking up points in four of their last five matches there.
Tottenham have had no fear of a Premier League visit to this ground though, having won on three of four occasions since Palace’s most recent promotion.
Despite Palace’s recent positive results at home, it is still too hard to back against Tottenham as they continue their push for the top four.

Manchester United vs Chelsea
Monday 26 February, 1:05am, Old Trafford
The Mourinho Derby is easily the match of the round however The Special One will be very happy to be in the friendly confines of Old Trafford for this one.
When facing Chelsea at home as the opposing manager, he has not lost to them claiming victory once at Inter Milan and last season with United.
Overall in the Premier League United have lost just once at home this season and are a good chance to continue that form.
Chelsea have been quite strong when travelling however with a massive midweek Champions League engagement with Barcelona, they may come into this game a little bit underdone.
This has all the makings of another Mourinho special where United sit back, slow the game down and try to nab a goal late in the first half.

2016/2017
This is a disrupted week of English Premier League action as the majority of sides will do battle in the FA Cup.
Liverpool beat Arsenal in empathic fashion last week, but they face a difficult challenge against Burnley and their recent record against smaller clubs is woeful.
There may only be a few games, but don’t miss out on the best betting plays for every game this weekend – we are confident that we are in for another big profitable weekend!
Manchester City vs Stoke City
Sunday 12 March, 1:00am, Etihad Stadium
Manchester City 0 - Stoke City 0
Manchester City have won their past two games against Stoke City, but Stoke have been somewhat of a bogey team for Manchester City over the past decade.
Manchester City will still start this clash as favourites, but their record as home favourites is nothing to write home about – they have won only nine of their past 16 games in this scenario for a clear loss.
Stoke City come into this clash on the back of a strong performance against Middlesbrough, but this is obviously a much tougher challenge.
They have won just two of their past 15 games as away underdogs for a clear loss and despite their excellent record against Manchester City they are a tough team to trust in this scenario.
There really is no value available for this clash and I am more than happy to stay out of the action.

There is nothing between these two teams in betting and it should be one of the most interesting games of the weekend.
Bournemouth are yet to win a game in 2017, but they will still go into this clash as clear favourites.
The Cherries have won four of their past nine games as home favourites for a narrow loss and they are a very tough team to trust from a betting standpoint.
West Ham suffered a narrow loss at the hands of Chelsea earlier this week and before that they drew with both West Bromwich Albion and Watford.
Their record as away underdogs this season is excellent – they have won four of their past 14 games as away underdogs and they really should be favourites for this clash.
West Ham are one of the best value teams in the EPL this weekend and they should be able to secure the three points.

Everton suffered their first defeat of the year at the hands of Tottenham, but they will still go into this clash with West Bromwich Albion as clear favourites.
Goodison Park has been a very happy hunting ground for Everton this season and they have won eight and drawn two of their past ten games as home favourites.
West Bromwich Albion suffered a surprise loss at the hands of Crystal Palace last weekend, but their recent form in the English Premier League has still been good.
The Baggies have been an easy team to trust from a betting standpoint this season and they have won just three of their past 17 games as away underdogs for a loss.
Everton should be able to get the job done and there is still genuine value at their current price of $1.65.

Hull City 2 - Swansea City
This is a crucial game for both sides that are right in the middle of the relegation dogfight.
Hull City will go into this clash as favourites – just the second time they have been in this position this season – and it is fair to say that they are a tricky team to catch week to week.
They beat Liverpool at The KC Stadium a month ago, but they were unable to put away Burnley in their last game at home.
Swansea City have improved substantially since Paul Clement took over as manager and they scored an impressive win over Burnley last weekend.
They have proven to be a profitable betting team as away underdogs over the past 12 months and on their recent form they should prove far too strong for their rivals.

Monday 13 March, 3:00am, Anfield
Liverpool are the shortest-priced favourites of the weekend and they head into this clash on the back of an excellent win over Arsenal.
Beating the biggest clubs in the English Premier League has not been an issue for Liverpool, but they have struggled against smaller clubs and they were beaten by Burnley earlier this season.
Liverpool have now won 12 of their past 19 games as home favourites for a narrow profit and they have only lost a single game in this scenario over the past 12 months.
Burnley continue to struggle away from home and they are still chasing their first victory on the road this season.
It really is tough to see that win coming in this clash, but they are always a difficult team to break down.
Liverpool really should be able to get the job done comfortably, but there is no value at their current price.
