2024/2025 EPL Week 31 Preview

The Premier League’s mad dash to the finish line rolls on this weekend with another ten games on the cards.

While it is not quite the monumental fixture it has been in the past, the Manchester derby between City and United still earns top billing in this slate of games, especially with both clubs trying to salvage something from their underwhelming campaigns.

At the bottom end of the EPL table, Southampton could have their relegation confirmed this weekend as they take to the pitch against Tottenham.

Find our EPL Week 31 previews and best bets for every match below.

Everton vs Arsenal
Saturday 5 April, 10:30pm, Goodison Park
Everton 1 – Arsenal 1

Doesn’t the last week perfectly sum up the Gunners’ season?

Out of what would otherwise be a winnable edition of the FA Cup, they welcomed Bukayo Saka back to the lineup after a lengthy absence in a win over Fulham on Wednesday morning.

Unfortunately, while they picked up three valuable points, key defender Gabriel limped off with a hamstring injury and Jurien Timber also looked uncomfortable when he was substituted late.

It doesn’t bode well for this clash against a stubborn Everton opponent and with Real Madrid home and away just around the corner, an unsettled defence is the last thing they need.

Thankfully the return of Saka should bolster their attack to at least partially offset the depleted backline.

Crystal Palace vs Brighton And Hove Albion
Sunday 6 April, 1:00am, Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace 2 – Brighton 1

A rough week for Brighton could get even worse as their attacking woes saw them draw a blank in a pair of home games, starting with the FA Cup Quarter Final against Nottingham Forest and the midweek Premier League clash with Villa.

As for Palace it has been a week of highs and lows with a dominant win over Fulham in the FA Cup before being very fortunate to escape with a draw when they faced Southampton on Thursday morning.

It was a harsh reality check for Palace, who were prior to that the most in form Premier League side.

That draw with the Saints does provide some cause for concern, but Brighton’s scoring woes are a bigger worry and if Palace can get on the scoresheet, they should be able to win this one.

Crystal Palace to Win @ $2.45

Ipswich vs Wolves
Sunday 6 April, 1:00am, Portman Road
Ipswich 1 – Wolves 2

It’s a relegation six pointer at Portman Road as Ipswich tries to close the gap on the one team they have even an outside chance of catching.

While there is still a nine point gap between the clubs, a win for Ipswich does create a path to survival.

Even after their impressive display beating Bournemouth on Thursday, there is nothing Ipswich has shown this season to make anyone think that is replicable.

Take the visitors to pick up the win and make life incredibly tough for the Terriers chasing survival.

Wolves to Win @ $2.40

West Ham vs Bournemouth
Sunday 6 April, 1:00am, London Stadium
West Ham 2 – Bournemouth 2

The first team to score might win this game with neither side looking overly capable when going forward lately.

Starting with West Ham, they have been kept scoreless twice in their last five games, scored one goal twice and managed just two against Leicester.

Compare that to Bournemouth who scored one goal in four of their last five games and did not look good in their loss to Ipswich.

This fixture also has a low scoring history, with the under hitting in the last three Premier League meetings, all of which ended in a 1-1 draw.

Under 2.5 Goals @ $2.00

Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest
Sunday 6 April, 3:30am, Villa Park
Aston Villa 2 – Nottingham Forest 1

A phenomenal matchup between third placed Nottingham Forest and seventh placed Aston Villa could lose some of its lustre because it is coming in a bad spot for Villa.

Unai Emery’s side was nothing short of spectacular in their demolition of Brighton during the week, but with a Champions League tie against PSG on the horizon, it is tough to see them not being at least a little bit distracted.

Not to mention Forest have been continuing to grind out results, most recently a 1-0 over Manchester United.

This one might not be pretty, but Forest should not be such clear outsiders with the way they are both travelling.

Nottingham Forest to Win @ $3.45

Brentford vs Chelsea
Sunday 6 April, 11:00pm, Gtech Community Stadium
Brentford 0 – Chelsea 0

Chelsea goes on the road with a real chance to make a statement in the race for the top four by picking up all three points.

Brentford’s home form has been poor of late with two points from their last seven Premier League home games and an FA Cup loss to Plymouth in there as well.

The Blues’ road form might not be great but they are definitely capable of winning this game against a vulnerable opponent.

Chelsea to Win @ $2.10

Fulham vs Liverpool
Sunday 6 April, 11:00pm, Craven Cottage
Fulham 3 – Liverpool 2

There is value to be had on the champions-elect with Fulham unlikely to slow them down here.

Coming off a draining Merseyside Derby could see Liverpool a bit lethargic, but they just have too much quality to slip up from here.

Even though Fulham took a point from Anfield in December, this game is only going one way.

Liverpool to Win @ $1.82

Tottenham vs Southampton
Sunday 6 April, 11:00pm, Tottenham Stadium
Tottenham 3 – Southampton 1

If there was a game to put down as a no-bet it should be this one.

Tottenham is incredibly short in the market despite languishing in the bottom half of the table, but that price is predominantly down to the struggles of Southampton.

Unfortunately you can’t back Spurs with any real confidence here, but there is a case to be made for the over.

After all, Ange Postecoglou loves to play on the front foot and Southampton can’t defend, so that might be worth a small play if you have to have something on this game.

Over 3.5 Goals @ $1.95

Manchester United vs Manchester City
Monday 7 April, 1:30am, Old Trafford
Manchester United 0 – Manchester City 0

There is nothing left for Manchester United to play for over the next couple of months beyond spoiling the ambitions of the other teams.

Pettiness can be a remarkable motivator but it does not replace dysfunction which is rife at Old Trafford.

City is coming off a professional if uninspiring performance over Leicester, which is miles ahead of United’s loss to Forest.

Take the visitors to exact a measure of revenge for their early season defeat at the Etihad.

Manchester City to Win @ $2.10

Leicester vs Newcastle
Tuesday 8 April, 5:00am, King Power Stadium
Leicester 0 – Newcastle 3

We can almost copy and paste the Leicester breakdown from the midweek round and just update it.

Long story short, the Foxes have lost their last seven Premier League matches which is bad, but the fact they have failed to score in any of those games is really bad.

Six of those seven were by multiple goal margins and Newcastle can create a whole lot of chances.

The Magpies should make short work of them,

Newcastle to Win -1 Goal @ $2.25


2023/2024

There is no time to rest in the Premier League’s run home with a full set of midweek matches taking place in the coming days.

After hosting Arsenal on the weekend, reigning champions Manchester City will welcome Aston Villa to the Etihad Stadium with Unai Emery’s side chasing a Champions League berth.

Elsewhere a London rivalry will be renewed with West Ham hosting Tottenham in Wednesday morning’s feature match.

Check out who we are backing in our match previews below!

Newcastle vs Everton
Wednesday 3 April, 5:30am, St James’ Park
Newcastle 1 – Everton 1

Part two of Newcastle’s set of must-win home games sees them welcome Everton to St James’ Park.

While the Toffees might have taken out the match between these clubs earlier this season, they really don’t look like they are going to be able to rise to the challenge here.

Newcastle has won the last three matches between these sides at their home ground and look like good value to make it four in a row here.

Newcastle to Win @ $1.85

Nottingham Forest vs Fulham
Wednesday 3 April, 5:30am, The City Ground
Nottingham 3 – Fulham 1

Fulham’s tour of relegation threatened opponents continues with this trip to The City Ground.

While Forest will have the added motivation of playing for their Premier League survival, that will only count for so much in a situation like this.

Perhaps their only saving grace is Fulham’s wretched form away from home which has seen them obtain just 10 points away from Craven Cottage heading into the March international window.

For that reason, I’ve got to stay away from a Fulham win despite the Cottagers looking like exceptional value as slight outsiders at publish.

Instead I’m going to bank on the defences of both teams having a rough night and us being treated to at least a couple of goals.

Both Teams to Score @ $1.70

Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace
Wednesday 3 April, 5:45am, Vitality Stadium
Bournemouth 1 – Crystal Palace 0

Something seems off with this market, Bournemouth are not that much better than Crystal Palace to be sub-$2.00 favourites (at publish).

These sides are relatively close on the Premier League table and both will fancy their chances of winning this one outright.

Not to mention that prior to the Cherries’ win at Selhurst Park in December, Palace had won the prior five Premier League meetings.

Take the value on the visitors finding a way to scrap to a point (or three).

Crystal Palace Win/Draw Double Chance @ $1.91

Burnley vs Wolves
Wednesday 3 April, 5:45am, Turf Moor
Burnley 1 – Wolves 1

If any match this week has dour and conservative written all over it, it’s this clash between Burnley and Wolves.

The Clarets are Championship-bound and it’s just a case of how long they can postpone the inevitable.

Meanwhile Wolves could be challenging for higher honours if they were just a bit more consistent in their performances.

With both teams backing up from tough weekend encounters, this might be a bit of a flat one where the first team to score is able to stumble home to all three points.

Under 2.5 Goals @ $2.00

West Ham vs Tottenham
Wednesday 3 April, 6:15am, London Stadium
West Ham 1 – Tottenham 1

Can the Irons deal a hammer blow to Spurs’ Champions League hopes with a win in this London derby?

West Ham has sprung a number of surprise upsets on Tottenham of late, especially at the Olympic Stadium with two wins and a draw over the last three seasons.

They are a decent chance to do it again, especially while looking to preserve their own European ambitions and I’ve seen enough to make me think they might just do it.

West Ham to Win @ $3.10

Arsenal vs Luton
Thursday 4 April, 5:30am, Emirates Stadium
Arsenal 2 – Luton 0

Arsenal just snuck home against Luton when they met at Kenilworth Road in December, winning one of the games of the season 4-3 courtesy of a Declan Rice 97th minute winner.

While we are probably going to see another high scoring affair between these teams at the Emirates, it’s tough to see Luton sticking with the Gunners here.

Even though Mikel Arteta might see this as a chance to rotate some of his key players with a massive month ahead, the Gunners still should have the quality to see off their opposition.

They have won 11 of 14 at home this season and played some of their best football there of late, and should score a few goals in front of their fans.

Arsenal to Win and Over 3.5 Goals @ $1.91

Brentford vs Brighton And Hove Albion
Thursday 4 April, 5:30am, Gtech Community Stadium
Brentford 0 – Brighton 0

Can you really have any faith in Brentford at the moment?

With one of the worst home records in the Premier League, the Gtech Community Stadium has not provided much of an advantage this season.

Not to mention, since their promotion in 2021 they have only defeated Brighton once, losing three of the other four meetings since their ascension.

While Brighton has not exactly set the world alight in recent weeks, the fact their fighting on three fronts has now been reduced to just the one means they should be set up well for the run home.

They are not the best team on the road but should be good enough to knock off the Bees.

Brighton to Win @ $2.45

Manchester City vs Aston Villa
Thursday 4 April, 6:15am, Etihad Stadium
Manchester City 4 – Aston Villa 1

Manchester City has not lost many matches this season, but one of those defeats did come at the hands of Aston Villa back in early December.

Leon Bailey was the difference on the day as Villa extended their impressive home run that has set the stage for their top four push.

Their $11.00 quote at publish seems a bit ludicrous until you remember that beating City once in a season is tough, but doing it twice is borderline impossible.

The value on them just isn’t there but I do like their chances of putting up a bit of a fight and at least keeping this one close, which is where the under comes into play.

Under 3.5 Goals @ $1.75

Liverpool vs Sheffield United
Friday 5 April, 5:30am, Anfield
Liverpool 3 – Sheffield United 1

Right, let’s not waste anymore time on this mismatch than we absolutely have to.

There needs to be some reasoning for the bet and this is as simple as I can make it: Liverpool is good, Sheffield is not, there is no contest between these teams.

Liverpool to Win to Nil @ $1.91

Chelsea vs Manchester United
Friday 5 April, 6:15am, Stamford Bridge
Chelsea 4 – Manchester United 3

How much of an advantage will playing at home be for Chelsea here?

Stamford Bridge has not exactly been a fortress this season with the Blues posting a decidedly middling record in front of their fans.

United has been one of the better teams away from home, with a record that is not too far adrift of the most successful clubs.

While Erik ten Haag’s side has won the last two meetings between these clubs, the last three meetings at the Bridge have ended in a stalemate.

The combination of Chelsea’s improved form and United playing their second away match in quick succession means I can’t split these sides and am expecting them to settle for a point each.

Draw @ $3.75


2022/2023

The title race is officially on in the Premier League with Arsenal and Manchester City now in full control of their own fate.

Following on from their draw at Anfield, Arsenal will have to navigate a tricky trip to the Olympic Stadium to tackle a West Ham side still in the midst of the relegation battle.

City’s imperious form continued with a dominant showing in the Champions League during the week and they host Leicester in the early hours of Sunday morning (AEST).

We’ve got our previews for those and every other fixture coming up this weekend below so read on and see who we are backing.

Aston Villa vs Newcastle
Saturday 15 April, 9:30pm, Villa Park
Aston Villa 3 – Newcastle 0

Unai Emery is working wonders at Aston Villa, with the side taking 19 of a possible 21 points since the start of March.

That has them up to sixth place on the Premier League table, in a great position to secure Europa League football if not more.

Newcastle remains in a Champions League spot thanks to a five match winning streak of their own in the last month and will be up for the challenge of a resilient Villa side.

When they met at the end of October it was a 4-0 win to the Magpies and while this one won’t be as dominant, they look like a genuine contender in the making.

Back Newcastle to Win @ $2.10

Chelsea vs Brighton And Hove Albion
Sunday 16 April, 12:00am, Stamford Bridge
Chelsea 1 – Brighton 2

The fact this market is essentially an even split is a testament to how well Brighton are going, while simultaneously being an indictment on Chelsea’s struggles.

In the last month, Chelsea have drawn two matches and lost three with their last victory coming on March 12 away to Leicester.

Brighton is coming off its first loss in almost two months having gone down in controversial circumstances at Tottenham last week.

It feels like Chelsea’s reputation is the reason why this market is as close as it is, because it’s tough to back them with any confidence, especially after a midweek Champions League defeat.

Take Brighton to bounce back with their first ever Premier League win at Stamford Bridge.

Back Brighton to Win @ $2.65

Everton vs Fulham
Sunday 16 April, 12:00am, Goodison Park
Everton 1 – Fulham 3

It’s very rare to say Everton has a much better form line heading into a match, but Fulham’s five match losing streak should have punters running scared from the Cottagers.

They remain without Serbian marksman Aleksandar Mitrovic which will not help their limited attack.

However working in their favour is the fact Everton is not exactly prolific in front of goal either.

There is a massive premium on the unders in this market but we appear to be headed for another low scoring match and that is the only option that leaps out for this fixture.

Back Under 2.5 Goals @ $1.65

Southampton vs Crystal Palace
Sunday 16 April, 12:00am, St Mary’s Stadium
Southampton 0 – Crystal Palace 2

Back to back wins have given Palace a bit of breathing room in the race for Premier League survival, as they now sit six points ahead of Nottingham Forest in 18th place.

Those wins have come against fellow battlers Leicester and Leeds, but picking up points against other struggling teams is how they are going to secure safety.

Southampton have picked up two points from their last five matches and are now four points adrift at the foot of the Premier League table.

These are the teams that Palace have been picking up wins against and there is no reason to expect anything different from the Saints.

Back Crystal Palace to Win @ $2.60

Tottenham vs Bournemouth
Sunday 16 April, 12:00am, Tottenham Stadium
Tottenham 2 – Bournemouth 0

Spurs might have had a year’s worth of luck in their win over Brighton, but they will be more than happy to take a much needed three points from that fixture.

With the side falling out of the Champions League places and sacking Antonio Conte, it’s fair to say things are not going to plan, however not all is lost in their quest for the top four.

They should be able to handle a struggling Bournemouth side thanks in large part to the improved form of Korean flyer Heung min- Son.

With Spurs at an unbackable $1.44, back the forward to get on the scoresheet.

Back Heung-min Son Anytime Goalscorer @ $2.80

Wolves vs Brentford
Sunday 16 April, 12:00am, Molineux Stadium
Wolves 2 – Brentford 0

Out of all ten matches this weekend, this match probably has the least intrigue attached to it.

Brentford are in ninth and probably not going to maintain their push for European football, although they can still fight for a top half finish over the next month and a half.

Wolves are only four points clear of the drop zone but they have not been so bad this season that you really think they are going to be in any imminent danger.

There’s not a lot to separate these sides and we look to be heading for a draw.

When they faced off in late October the points were shared and that’s what we are going to back here.

Back the Draw @ $3.10

Manchester City vs Leicester
Sunday 16 April, 2:30am, Etihad Stadium
Manchester City 3 – Leicester 1

It certainly looks like normal service has resumed with City, their run of crushing victories continued against Bayern during the week and it would be stunning for Leicester to be the ones to bring it to a halt.

In a situation like this, it’s simply down to how much you want to back City to win by, although it would not be a surprise to see a few players rotated ahead of their trip to Germany.

Granted in most positions the drop off from the first choice players to the backups is not that big and those backups would still start for most Premier League clubs.

Considering City have been good for at least four goals on their own in four of their last five matches, we’ll back that in the total with a win for the home team here.

Back Manchester City to Win & Over 3.5 Goals @ $2.05

West Ham vs Arsenal
Sunday 16 April, 11:00pm, London Stadium
West Ham 2 – Arsenal 2

Despite dropping their first domestic points since mid-February last weekend, Arsenal still is in full control of their Premier League destiny.

With nine matches to play, they can clinch the title by winning all nine fixtures however their margin for error has now evaporated.

West Ham might have started to rally with seven points from their last four matches, but Arsenal are a different beast.

Since taking charge Mikel Arteta has won five of his six matches as manager against West Ham with two of the last three being by multiple goals.

Back Arsenal to Win -1 Goal @ $2.50

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United
Monday 17 April, 1:30am, The City Ground
Nottingham Forest 0 – Manchester United 2

Unless Forest can find a way to arrest their form slump then they will be destined for the Championship.

It seems awfully unlikely that they will completely change things up against Manchester United who need to win to take a step closer to a return to the Champions League.

Anything less than a convincing win for United would be a big surprise here, especially with the Red Devils having won all three competitive fixtures between the clubs this season.

They have not conceded a goal in any of those matches and a similar outcome is at a decent price in this market.

Back Manchester United to Win to Nil @ $2.88

Leeds vs Liverpool
Tuesday 18 April, 5:00am, Elland Road
Leeds 1 – Liverpool 6

If nothing else, last week showed us that when Liverpool wants to get up for a big match, they can still compete with the Premier League’s best.

Unfortunately for them, they have suffered far too many letdowns but quite frankly, they should be able to take care of business against Leeds here.

The good news for punters is that those letdowns have them at a surprisingly decent price in the match result market.

Better not to overthink it and just take the Reds to pick up all three points.

Back Liverpool to Win @ $1.73


2021/2022

Liverpool vs Watford
Saturday 2 April, 10:30pm, Anfield
Liverpool 2 – Watford 0

This looks a pretty straight forward one for punters as Liverpool host Watford at Anfield as the early game on Saturday evening.

Watford are one of the biggest prices I’ve ever seen at $19 head to head and it is for good reason.

They have conceded 55 goals this season and won just six games and although it took some searching I think I’ve found the value bet.

Liverpool To Win To Nil @ $1.83

Brighton And Hove Albion vs Norwich
Sunday 3 April, 1:00am, Amex Stadium
Brighton 0 – Norwich 0

It is impossible to envision that Norwich will not be relegated, not only when considering their current ladder position, but also their poor form recently.

The Canaries have lost their last six in a row with the last time they secured a point being a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace back on the 10th February.

Brighton and Hove Albion are not going much better if we are being completely honest!

They have scored just one goal in their last seven epl matches which makes them a really tough betting proposition.

Brighton has won five of its last six EPL matches against promoted sides to nil and the ‘Under 2.5 Goals’ market has hit in each of Brighton’s last 16 EPL matches against promoted teams.

Under 2.5 Total Goals @ $1.75

Burnley vs Manchester City
Sunday 3 April, 1:00am, Turf Moor
Burnley 0 – Manchester City 2

Man City has left the door ajar for Liverpool, dropping four points in their last four matches but remain on top of the EPL ladder.

They beat Southampton 4-1 in the FA Quarter Finals before the break and this is not a game they can afford to drop points in.

Burnley managed an upset win over Spurs in late February but have since conceded nine goals in four subsequent matches.

Even in front of their home fans this looks a tough ask.

Manchester City has won each of its last four EPL matches against Burnley to nil.

Manchester City To Win To Nil @ $1.87

Chelsea vs Brentford
Sunday 3 April, 1:00am, Stamford Bridge
Chelsea 1 – Brentford 4

Chelsea just need to keep winning to secure their spot in the Champions League for next season and that will be their goal when they host Brentford this weekend.

Brentford had impressive wins over Norwich (3-1) and Burnley (2-0) before losing to Leicester (1-2) before the International break.

They are not the only team at huge odds to upset their top four opponent during match week 31 and unfortunately I can’t tip you into them.

Chelsea has won each of its last four EPL day matches to nil and I think that will continue.

Chelsea To Win To Nil @ $2.00

Leeds vs Southampton
Sunday 3 April, 1:00am, Elland Road
Leeds 1 – Southampton 1

Southampton travel to Elland Road this week to take on Leeds who are keeping their head above water in terms of relegation.

Luke Ayling scored a stoppage time winner just before the break for Leeds to secure a 3-2 win over Wolves in classic.

Southampton come into this game off of three straight losses in the Premier League and a 4-1 defeat to ladder leaders Man City in the F.A Cup Quarter Finals.

Leeds has lost each of its last six EPL Saturday matches and has lost the first half in seven of their last nine EPL matches.

Southampton Or Draw @ $1.57

Wolves vs Aston Villa
Sunday 3 April, 1:00am, Molineux Stadium
Wolves 2 – Aston Villa 1

Wolves (8th) host Aston Villa (9th) early on Sunday morning (AEDT) in a very intriguing matchday 31 contest.

Villa put together three wins in a row in the Premier League before their momentum was halted with back to back losses to West Ham (1-2) and Arsenal (0-1).

Wolves also lost to Arsenal and West Ham at the end of February but then proceeded to win three in a row.

A Raul Jimenez red card in the 53rd minute did not help his teams chances when they went down 3-2 to Leeds just before the International break but they will be looking to return to winning form.

Wolves Or Draw @ $1.53

Manchester United vs Leicester
Sunday 3 April, 3:30am, Old Trafford
Manchester United 1 – Leicester 1

Another cracking contest awaits us on Sunday morning when Manchester United attempt keep their top four hopes alive when they host Leicester.

United bounced back from a disappointing 4-1 loss to cross town rivals Manchester City by taking care of Spurs 3-2 in their last EPL match.

That win was all thanks to a Cristiano Ronaldo hat trick in a match where they had just 43% possession throughout.

Leicester also bounced back from a defeat to a top four team in Arsenal by defeating Brentford just before the break and they find themselves in the final eight in the Europa League as well.

The ‘Over 2.5 Goals’ market has hit in each of Leicester’s last five EPL Saturday night away matches.

West Ham vs Everton
Sunday 3 April, 11:00pm, London Stadium
West Ham 2 – Everton 1

West Ham (7th) host Everton (17th) at London Stadium on Sunday evening (AEDT).

It has been a disappointing season for Everton who are struggling to avoid relegation although they do have a few matches in hand on West Ham.

They have just seven wins in season 2021/22 and a goal difference of -18 and come into this contest on the back of four straight losses.

The Hammers on the flip side are having a fantastic season and have three wins on the trot in all competitions including a 3-1 win over Tottenham before the break.

The half-time score line has been 0-0 in four of Everton’s last five EPL matches and they have lost four of their last five matches to nil.

West Ham 1-0 @ $7.00

Tottenham vs Newcastle
Monday 4 April, 1:30am, Tottenham Stadium
Tottenham 5 – Newcastle 1

Spurs find themselves in fifth position having won four of their last five, their only loss coming against Manchester United.

Both Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min have found form at the right time for Tottenham as they press for a top four finish.

Newcastle are currently sitting 14th but went into the break off the back of back to back losses to Chelsea and Everton.

I’m not confident tipping Spurs in this but the form of their star striker to get some shots off is a better bet at the price.

Tuesday 5 April, 5:00am, Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace 3 – Arsenal 0

Crystal Palace have been in white hot form of late and have not lost in the EPL since the 20th of February when they lost to Chelsea 1-0.

A scoreless draw against Manchester City was followed by a dominant 4-0 over Everton before the International break and they come into this match full of confidence.

Arsenal sit in fourth spot on the EPL ladder after winning six of their last seven.

*RESCHEDULED MATCHWEEK 19 FIXTURE*


2020/2021

Just eight weeks remain in the 2020/2021 Premier League season and there is plenty to play for across the entire table.

Tottenham takes on United but the biggest clash of the weekend comes from another part of London with West Ham hosting Leicester as both sides look to continue their push for Champions League football next season.

A big game in the relegation battle kicks off Matchweek 31 of the Premier League with Fulham taking on Wolves.

Find our match previews and best bets below.

Fulham vs Wolves
Saturday 10 April, 5:00am, Craven Cottage
Fulham 0 – Wolves 1

This is one of those matches that Fulham absolutely has to win if they want to avoid playing second division football next year.

They head into the final stretch of the season three points from safety but having played an extra match than the teams they are trying to chase down.

Wolves on the other hand are nine points clear of the drop zone but would not be feeling entirely safe just yet with two draws and three defeats from their last five matches.

Outside of their win over Liverpool, Fulham’s form line is not exactly encouraging either with that victory the only positive result in their last five.

The market is understandably forecasting a low scoring contest with under 2.5 goals sitting at a still generous $1.55 considering the scoring woes of both teams.

Wolves have done a good job getting results against fellow strugglers and Fulham is definitely worthy of that definition themselves.

Back Wolves to Win @ $3.20

Manchester City vs Leeds
Saturday 10 April, 9:30pm, Etihad Stadium
Manchester City 1 – Leeds 2

With the Premier League title all but assured, the only question for Pep Guardiola’s side is how much would they like to win the title by.

Having taken a slender advantage in their Champions League tie during the week, the only major question for City now is whether they opt to rotate their squad ahead of the second leg.

Chances are Pep Guardiola will make a few tweaks but wholesale changes seem rather unlikely considering how driven he is to complete the quadruple.

This is the time to stick with a fairly successful strategy by backing City to win and keep a clean sheet on the way to another three points.

Back City to Win to Nil @ $2.20

Liverpool vs Aston Villa
Sunday 11 April, 12:00am, Anfield
Liverpool 2 – Aston Villa 1

It would be remiss to bring up this fixture without remembering the 7-2 humiliation Aston Villa inflicted on the defending champions earlier this season.

Admittedly that came about with a confluence of bizarre events lining up and Liverpool did exact some (very minor) revenge, bundling the Villains out of the FA Cup 4-1.

Liverpool had a horror show in the Champions League, losing to Real Madrid 3-1 (again) in the first leg of their Quarter Final.

With their continental hopes torn to shreds and their domestic ambitions mathematically over, the Reds can only push for a top four finish.

One of their major problems this season has been winning at Anfield, their one time fortress with six consecutive Premier League defeats following a pair of draws.

Their last win at the ground came on December 17 against Tottenham and Aston Villa is good enough to heap more pain onto the defending champions.

Back Aston Villa to Win @ $6.00

Crystal Palace vs Chelsea
Sunday 11 April, 2:30am, Selhurst Park
Crystal Palace 1 – Chelsea 4

It’s fair to say Chelsea will be eager to forget their last Premier League outing where they were humiliated by relegation threatened West Brom.

That ended Thomas Tuchel’s unbeaten start to life in London however this should provide them with the perfect opportunity to get their top four charge back on track.

Palace really cannot score, registering just three goals in their last five games and having one of the worst attacks in the Premier League.

Some would say that the suspension of Thiago Silva for this match is a blessing in disguise for Chelsea after his Easter horror show.

The Blues should still have the fortitude and talent to see off the challenge of Palace here.

Burnley gave us a nice reminder of why you cannot have too much faith in them when they blew a phenomenal start to lose to Southampton last week.

It does make you a little bit nervous when they take on another side that desperately needs a victory in Newcastle this weekend.

Newcastle is edging to safety with a literal one point at a time approach, drawing four of their last five.

Neither side inspires an awful lot of confidence right now so I’ll split the difference and land on a draw.

West Ham vs Leicester
Sunday 11 April, 11:05pm, London Stadium
West Ham 3 – Leicester 2

This is without a doubt the highest stakes attached to a match between Leicester and West Ham in a very long time.

Both of these teams are pushing for a top four spot and a place in Europe’s premiere club competition next season.

Leicester has stayed largely consistent at the season went along with a few blips on the way while West Ham has taken flight in the last few months.

That can all be attributed to one man, Jesse Lingard who has given the Irons a new lease of life since coming from Manchester United on loan.

As bizarre as this is to type out, it is an accurate statement.

West Ham’s form is too good to ignore at their current price and I’ll back them to come away with a much needed victory here.

Tottenham vs Manchester United
Monday 12 April, 1:30am, Tottenham Stadium
Tottenham 1 – Manchester United 3

Tottenham handed Manchester United their worst defeat in recent memory with a 6-1 thrashing in October.

Unfortunately for Spurs that victory was probably the high point of their Premier League campaign to date with the side enduring a rough run of results in 2021.

Right now both sides know the price they will pay for losing and it would not be at all surprising to see an overly conservative draw.

Sheffield United vs Arsenal
Monday 12 April, 4:00am, Brammall Lane
Sheffield United 0 – Arsenal 3

Sheffield United is the definition of unbackable week in week out, yet the market is still wary of Arsenal.

Historically dropping a late season game to a side desperate to avoid relegation is the Arsenal Modus Operandi but there is no way I can back the Blades in good conscience here.

It might not be the prettiest performance but the hosts really are that bad this season and a goal should be enough for the Gunners to bounce back from a two game Premier League winless run.

Back Arsenal to Win and Under 3.5 Goals @ $2.10

West Bromwich Albion vs Southampton
Tuesday 13 April, 3:00am, The Hawthorns
West Brom 3 – Southampton 0

This fixture brings us the two worst defences in the Premier League with the sides conceding a combined 112 goals through 60 matches.

It seems like an odd strategy then to back a low scoring contest but neither side inspires a whole lot of confidence going forward.

Back in October, when they were actually playing like a good football club, Southampton dispatched West Brom 2-0 but it’s worth remembering how bad both sides have been lately.

West Brom might have bucked their recent trend of avoiding the opposing goal at all costs by putting five past Chelsea but they are clearly an outlier with eight of their 25 Premier League goals coming against them.

Southampton on the other hand are just about safe from the drop but another point or two would not go astray.

I won’t expect a whole lot of highlights to come from this fixture and it could turn into a case of first goal wins.

Back Under 2.5 Goals @ $1.78

Brighton And Hove Albion vs Everton
Tuesday 13 April, 5:15am, Amex Stadium
Brighton 0 – Everton 0

Everton have hit the wall at the worst possible time, losing three and drawing once in their last four, which included crashing out of the FA Cup.

That has seen them drop all the way to eighth place and moved their Champions League hopes from “ambitious” to “relying on a miracle” in the space of a month.

Historically they have not enjoyed their trips to the Amex Stadium with one point of a possible nine since Brighton’s ascension to the top division in 2017 and that came back in their debut season.

Even with history and form working against them, I just cannot make sense of the visitors being outsiders in the market.

I’ll jump on the value of the better side being underdogs to close out the round with a win.

Back Everton to Win @ $3.35


2019/2020

The Premier League rolls on with Matchweek 31 getting underway less than 24 hours after the conclusion of Week 30.

Some clubs will be glad to be back, others (Arsenal) will hope the past week was nothing more than a blip on the radar.

With the FA Cup Quarter Finals or more Premier League football on the horizon for every team squad depth is crucial.

We’ve previewed all ten matches to be played over the next three mornings and have made out predictions here.

Leicester vs Brighton And Hove Albion
Wednesday 24 June, 3:00am, King Power Stadium
Leicester 0 – Brighton 0

It’s fair to say that Leicester being held to a draw by Watford wasn’t the most encouraging scoreline from the Premier League’s return, especially shutting off for such a late equaliser.

Brighton on the other hand will be flying, having belted Arsenal every which way up and down the Amex Stadium pitch, they won their first competitive match since December 28.

Of course beating Arsenal isn’t as big of a deal today as it once was.

Leicester has not lost a Premier League match to Brighton, winning four of the five meetings including a 2-0 win in November and the value on offer for the Foxes here is too good to pass up.

Back Leicester to Win @ $1.70

Tottenham vs West Ham
Wednesday 24 June, 5:15am, Tottenham Stadium
Tottenham 2 – West Ham 0

This was always a fixture that was made by the fans trading barbs as opposed to the actual football, so we’ll have to see just how strong this rivalry is in an empty arena.

One thing that should help the intensity of this London derby is the fact that neither side can afford to drop points in this fixture.

West Ham is only out of the relegation zone on goal difference and could drop as low as 19th after this round of fixtures.

Spurs still have top four desires but currently sit nine points behind Chelsea with eight matches remaining.

The away side has won six of the last seven meetings between these two clubs which bodes well for the Hammers, but it would be irresponsible to back them to do anything other than lose this one.

Manchester United vs Sheffield United
Thursday 25 June, 3:00am, Old Trafford
Manchester United 3 – Sheffield United 0

12 months ago you would have been laughed at for calling this a clash of “top four hopefuls” but here we are.

United’s return to action wasn’t the prettiest but it was good enough taking a point off Tottenham, while Sheffield hit the wall badly in their second match back, blown off the park by Newcastle.

November’s 3-3 draw was entertaining but with the Blades thin squad seemingly struggling to keep up already, this could be the perfect opportunity for United to make a statement and push for a Champions League place.

Sheffield’s scoring woes are there for all to see and if United can score first there will be no catching them

Back Manchester United to Win to Nil @ $2.10

Newcastle vs Aston Villa
Thursday 25 June, 3:00am, St James’ Park
Newcastle United 1 – Aston Villa 1

Regardless of your opinion on Newcastle’s performances so far, Aston Villa remains a struggling side.

With just one point from their last six Premier League matches (and that was only because of a technological gaffe), Villa are firmly in the “back against at all costs” category.

If Newcastle can perform at even 50% of the level they did against Sheffield they should have no problems coming away with all three points and at that price, it’s well worth taking them.

Back Newcastle to Win @ $2.25

Norwich vs Everton
Thursday 25 June, 3:00am, Carrow Road
Norwich 0 – Everton 1

The only thing that might be standing in Everton’s way here is a hangover from their draw with Liverpool.

While it wasn’t your typical, raucous Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park, it was not an easy situation.

Norwich were nothing short of dreadful against Southampton, reminding us why they are five points adrift of 19th place on the Premier League table.

Like with Aston Villa, you have to back against Norwich at any opportunity, including this one.

Back Everton to Win @ $1.95

Wolverhampton vs Bournemouth
Thursday 25 June, 3:00am, Molineux Stadium
Wolves 1 – Bournemouth 0

Wolves had the perfect training run over the weekend, knocking off West Ham and have a chance to further sharpen their abilities against Bournemouth here.

Bournemouth were stunned by an early double from Crustal Palace and managed just one shot on target in their whole match.

Wolves might afford them some more scoring opportunities, but with the firepower the home side has, they should be able to take care of business.

It’s not the biggest price for them to win here but they are much, much better than Bournemouth and should be able to complete their first league double over the relegation threatened Cherries.

Back Wolves to Win @ $1.62

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace
Thursday 25 June, 5:15am, Anfield
Liverpool 4 – Crystal Palace 0

As tempting as it is to start going on about how Liverpool’s bubble has burst and they still might blow the Premier League title, they won’t.

Everton at Goodison Park has always been a bogey spot for them and they should have no trouble getting by Crystal Palace here.

They have won the last five Premier League meetings between the two clubs and the memories of the collapse at Selhurst Park in May 2014 are well and truly in the past.

Three of Liverpool’s wins in this streak have featured three or more total goals and after falling flat against Everton, they should bounce back in a big way here, putting themselves in position to win the Premier League title as early as Friday morning.

Burnley vs Watford
Friday 26 June, 3:00am, Turf Moor
Burnley 1 – Watford 0

Burnley looked well off the pace in their return to action against a rampant Manchester City side, sputtering to a 5-0 defeat.

Watford gave their survival hopes a big boost, picking up a point with the last kick of the match against Leicester to move into 16th place.

Based solely off those performance, you have to like Watford to pull off an upset however you have to put an asterisk next to Burnley’s score.

The away side has profited in this head to head meeting with three wins and a draw in the last four meetings, including a 3-0 win for Burnley in November.

Watford has the fortitude to get something out of this game but I can’t quite back them to go all the way and pull off a win so the draw looks like the smart play for this match.

Back the Draw @ $3.10

Southampton vs Arsenal
Friday 26 June, 3:00am, St Mary’s Stadium
Southampton 0 – Arsenal 2

Where do we start with Arsenal?

Well, after an embarrassing collapse against Brighton where they showed all the fight of a traffic cone they now find themselves at the same price as Southampton, a club nobody should be rushing to back in any situation.

To the Saints credit, they took care of business against last placed Norwich, cruising to a 3-0 win.

With Arsenal’s defence in the shape it is, the safe play in this match is to back goals to be scored.

Maybe Arsenal bounces back and pulls off a win but there is little to no chance of them keeping a clean sheet and the more likely outcome has Southampton pulling off an “upset” of sorts.

Chelsea vs Manchester City
Friday 26 June, 5:15am, Stamford Bridge
Chelsea 2 – Manchester City 1

If Liverpool defeats Crystal Palace 24 hours prior to this match kicking off, this contest could set all sorts of viewership records in Liverpool.

Much like in 2016 with Leicester, Chelsea could play a pivotal role in deciding the Premier League title, provided they can pull off a win at Stamford Bridge.

The only difference here is that City is not all set up to collapse like Tottenham was four years ago, in fact it’s quite the opposite.

A combined 8-0 scoreline in their two matches since returning showed that Pep Guardiola’s men are desperate to keep this title race alive for as long as imaginable.

With an FA Cup Quarter Final on the horizon as well, City will want to avoid any drop off ahead of their clash with Newcastle.

Back Manchester City to Win @ $1.75


2018/2019

Only a few Premier League games on this weekend with half the schedule postponed to a later date with the FA Cup Quarter Finals on as well.

This weekend was supposed to be headlined by the Manchester Derby but with that now pushed to the back end of April, we will just have to wait.

For some teams not involved in the Cup they are about to enjoy a massive break with an international window coming up next weekend as well so they will have no excuse to come out flat.

Check out our previews, predictions and same game multis for the five games that are still scheduled for the weekend.

Bournemouth vs Newcastle
Sunday 17 March, 2:00am, Vitality Stadium
Bournemouth 2 – Newcastle 2

Newcastle was able to jump up to 13th place in the Premier League on the back of their win last week.

It was one to remember after trailing 2-0 before coming from behind in the second half to pick up a 3-0 win.

The Magpies have a chance to jump up to 12th place ahead of this weekend’s opponents Bournemouth and they have struggled to win away from home with just 2 wins from 14 games this season.

Those two away wins came against a struggling Burnley side and Championship-bound Huddersfield back in 2018.

Since then, there has been two draws and four losses away from home with three goals scored in that time.

That is an alarming trend that is just too hard to ignore, back Bournemouth to win here.

You have to hope this game will have a little bit more life to it than November’s 0-0 draw at the King Power Stadium.

Brendan Rodgers picked up his first official win as Leicester boss on the weekend getting his side past Fulham while Burnley slumped to its third successive loss against Liverpool.

Each of those three losses have come by two goals with the Clarets putting a scare into Liverpool before falling short.

If you had to shade a team here you would probably back Leicester, but away from home that’s a bit of a risk.

Instead look for the Both Teams to Score market, that has hit in six of Burnley’s last seven and each of Leicester’s last five.

Sunday 17 March, 2:00am, London Stadium
West Ham 4 – Huddersfield 3

Just when you think you can have some faith in West Ham they remind you why you have to have plenty of caution when backing them.

After an encouraging run of form the Irons were brought back to earth with a shock loss to Cardiff and this week they take on another relegation battler in Huddersfield.

The Terriers have scored a grand total of one goal in their last four games, which lead to their only win in that time.

In the other three games they were held scoreless and over the course of this season, 14 of their 22 Premier League losses have come to nil.

West Ham’s current win price is more than enough if you are looking for a good head to head multi builder, but for a bit of value you can look for something a bit more focused, such as West Ham to win to nil or West Ham to keep a clean sheet.

Fulham 1 – Liverpool 2

Liverpool have been pretty much boom or bust the last few weeks, either scoring for fun or being frustrated by opponents and the wind.

Fulham on the other hand have just been busts this season and it looks like their return to the Premier League will be short lived.

With 13 points between Fulham and safety, their relegation number sits at four losses before their return to the second division is confirmed.

Even with Liverpool being a bit up and down form wise, this looks like one of those games they will score plenty and give the Reds a chance to (temporarily at least) take back top spot in the Premier League.

Just four points split third from sixth and with Tottenham, Arsenal & Manchester United not featuring this weekend, Chelsea can springboard back onto level points alongside Arsenal.

Everton has been a real challenge for Chelsea in the last two meetings with consecutive scoreless draws in the last two Premier League meetings.

In the last five Premier League matches between these sides, Everton have been held scoreless every time so their recent goalscoring run might be put to the test here.

Chelsea on the other hand have looked decidedly average needing a late equaliser to get a point against Wolves last weekend.

With some of their squad likely to be rested from Friday’s trip to Dynamo Kyiv they will be coming out fresh and firing for this game.

2017/2018

Just four Premier League matches take place on the weekend as they were originally scheduled as the FA Cup forces the remaining six into postponements.

Of course, those clubs that are still participating in the Cup won’t mind the inconvenience of having to double up on their duty.

More interruptions are on their way in the form of 2018’s first and only pre-World Cup international window after this weekend so it presents the final chance for some fans to see their team in action before Easter.

Here are our previews of the four matches scheduled to take place this weekend and recommended plays.

Stoke vs Everton
Sunday 18 March, 2:00am, bet365 Stadium

A match between two sides that have been Premier League mainstays however Stoke’s decade long run in the top flight is in danger of ending.

They now face an Everton side who has had an advantage over them in recent meetings, claiming three of the last four in the Premier League.

Working in Stoke’s favour however is the fact that Everton’s form away from home this year has been poor at best with just one win.

The market here reflects Everton’s poor form on the road but there is plenty of value on off for them doubling their away wins total for the current season.

Back Everton to Win @ $3.10

Huddersfield vs Crystal Palace
Sunday 18 March, 2:00am, Kirklees Stadium

A six pointer featuring two teams at the bottom of the table as Huddersfield look to take one step closer to safety while Palace need three points to pull themselves out of the drop zone.

Huddersfield claimed all three points at Selhurst Park on the opening day of the season however seven months is a long time in football.

They have been able to generate enough results as of late to make them a competitive outing for most side they face.

Palace on the other hand have the second longest losing streak in the Premier League at four games and will not have won in over two months by the time they take to the pitch.

The market has this as a potentially close game but the form line is skewing towards Huddersfield picking up the points in front of their home fans.

Back Huddersfield to Win @ $2.75

Bournemouth vs West Bromwich Albion
Sunday 18 March, 2:00am, Selhurst Park

Bournemouth’s loss to Tottenham last week should not mask what has been overall, a profitable string of results post Christmas.

With four wins and five draws in the Premier League they are within touching distance of the 40 point mark which has traditionally meant safety for Premier League clubs.

West Brom are in need of a minor miracle to get themselves back into contention to be safe with five matches since their last Premier League point and six since their last win.

They have come close in recent matches however last weekend’s comprehensive defeat by Leicester had an air of inevitability about it.

This is a good price for anyone playing the bottom side in the Premier League at home.

Back Bournemouth to Win @ $1.85

Liverpool vs Watford
Sunday 18 March, 4:30am, Anfield

Watford have not been afraid to take on the Premier League’s elite this season, taking points off Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea already.

That opening day 3-3 draw with Liverpool ended a three-match losing streak against them and has helped set up a season that is looking like turning out to be a successful one for the club.

Liverpool are yet to lose when playing in front of The Kop in the Premier League this season but have been held to draws on far too many occasions for their liking.

They have the only unbeaten home record aside from the Champions-elect Manchester City.

That run should continue here and the market reflects that expectation, expect a free scoring affair that Liverpool runs away with.

There are a number of competitive fixtures during these midweek fixtures and you can find all the best betting plays below.

Burnley vs Stoke City
Wednesday 5 April, 4:45am, Turf Moor
Burnley 1 - Stoke City 0

Burnley suffered a rare loss in front of their home fans last weekend against Tottenham, but they are favourites to return to winning form against Stoke City.

They were far from disgraced against Tottenham and their record in front of their home fans continues to be outstanding – they have won nine of their past 15 games in front of their home fans for a clear profit.

Stoke City suffered their second straight loss when they went down to Leicester City last weekend and they continue to struggle away from home.

The Potters have won only one of their past 16 games as away underdogs for a clear loss and they continue to be a massive losing betting proposition as underdogs.

Burnley continue to be an excellent bet in front of their home fans at Turf Moor and they are good value to get the job done in this midweek fixute,

Leicester City made it four English Premier League wins on the trot with a quality performance against Stoke City and they are clear favourites to continue their winning run.

Leicester City have thrived under the leadership of Craig Shakespeare and they have now won eight of their past 15 games as home favourites for a clear profit.

Relegation now looks like a certainty for Sunderland and they have not scored a goal in the English Premier League for over 2 months.

Sunderland have won only three of their past 16 games as away underdogs for a clear loss and taking them on in every metric has proven to be a winning play.

Leicester City are a very safe bet to maintain their winning form and they should be able to keep a clean sheet in the process.

Watford vs West Bromwich Albion
Wednesday 5 April, 4:45am, Vicarage Road
Watford 2 - West Bromwich Albion 0

There is very little between these two teams and it is Watford that will go into this clash as narrow favourites.

Watford scored a vital 1-0 win over Sunderland last weekend, but their record as home favourites still leaves something to be desired.

They have won only four of their past ten games as home favourites and five of these games have ended as draws.

West Bromwich Albion played out a scoreless draw with Manchester United and will go into this clash with plenty of confidence.

The Baggies have won only three of their past 18 games as away underdogs, but they have drawn seven of their games in this scenario and are more than capable of taking a point from this clash.

The draw really does standout in this clash and is a great bet at the current price.

Manchester United vs Everton
Wednesday 5 April, 5:00am, Old Trafford
Manchester United 1 - Everton 1

Manchester United dropped points once again last weekend, but they will still go into this clash with Everton as clear favourites.

Manchester United have still not lost in the English Premier League since October, but they have drawn four of their past eight games and are tough to trust from a betting standpoint.

The Red Devils have won only nine of their past 19 games as home favourites for a clear loss, while backing the draw continues to be a profitable play.

Everton were no match for Liverpool last weekend and they face another tough challenge against Manchester United.

Winning away from home has proven to be an issue for Everton this season and they have won only one of their past 10 games as away underdogs for a clear loss.

Everton have performed well against Manchester United in recent seasons and they are capable of taking at least a point from this clash.

Arsenal vs West Ham United
Thursday 6 April, 4:45am, Emirates Stadium

Arsenal have won just one of their past six English Premier League games, but they will still go into this clash as clear favourites.

While Arsenal have been a tough side to trust this season, they have still won 12 of their past 16 games as home favourites for a narrow profit.

West Ham United let slip a golden opportunity against Hull City last weekend and they have now loss four English Premier League games in a row.

They have won only four of their past 15 games as away underdogs for a clear loss and their recent form really doesn’t inspire confidence.

This is a match that the market looks to have got just about right and I am happy to stay out from a betting perspective.

This is a classic game for both sides that are locked in the relegation battle.

Hull City did their chances of survival a big favour when they beat West Ham last weekend and they will start this clash as clear favourites.

The Tigers have now won two of their three games as home favourites this season and their record in front of their home fans is excellent.

Middlesbrough cannot find a way to win and they are still chasing their first English Premier League victory of 2017.

They have won just the one game away from home this season, but they are generally tough to break down and they have drawn seven of their past 14 games in this scenario.

Hull City really should be able to claim all three points from this clash and take another big step towards survival.

Swansea City vs Tottenham Hotspur
Thursday 6 April, 4:45am, Liberty Stadium
Swansea City 1 - Tottenham Hotspur 3

Tottenham closed at the top of the English Premier League by three points and they are clear favourites to win again against Swansea City.

Tottenham handled what could have been a tricky fixture against Burnley with plenty of composure and they have now won four games on the trot.

They have won six of their past 11 games as away underdogs for a narrow profit, but they have drawn four games in this scenario.

Swansea City dropped points they can’t really afford to drop against Middlesbrough and they obviously face a tough challenge this weekend.

The Welsh outfit have proven tough to beat at Liberty Stadium this season and they have won three of their nine games as home underdogs for a small profit.

Tottenham should be able to continue their winning run, but there is no value at their current price and I am happy to stay out from a betting standpoint.

Southampton vs Crystal Palace
Thursday 6 April, 4:45am, St Mary's Stadium
Southampton 3 - Crystal Palace 1

Crystal Palace scored a big upset win over Chelsea, but it is Southampton that will go into this clash as clear favourites.

Southampton failed to break down Bournemouth last weekend and they continue to struggle for consistency in the English Premier League.

The Saints have still proven to be a profitable betting play as home favourites this season – they have won eight of their past 13 games as home favourites for a narrow profit.

Crystal Palace produced their best performance of the season to beat Chelsea and they have recorded four wins on the trot in impressive fashion.

They have now won five of their past 17 games as away underdogs for a clear profit and they will go into this clash with plenty of confidence.

I am more than happy to take on Southampton in this clash and the $4.75 on offer for a Crystal Palace victory is well and truly over the odds.

Chelsea vs Manchester City
Thursday 6 April, 5:00am, Stamford Bridge
Chelsea 2 - Manchester City 1

This is clearly the highlight of these midweek fixtures and a must-win for Manchester City if they are to keep their very slim title hopes alive.

Chelsea suffered a shock loss at the hands of Crystal Palace last weekend, but they will still go into this clash as narrow favourites.

Last weekend was the first time that Chelsea have lost at Stamford Bridge in 2017 and they have still proven to be a profitable betting play as home favourites this season – they have won 12 of their past 17 games in this scenario.

Manchester City played out an entertaining 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Monday morning and a lack of composure at the back continues to be an issue for this side.

Winning away from home has not been an issue for Manchester City this season and they have won two of their past four games as away underdogs for a clear profit.

The one market that does stand in this clash is the Total Goals betting.

Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 14 of the past 17 games played at Stamford Bridge and backing the over has also proven to be a profitable betting play in Manchester City fixtures.

The $1.85 on offer for more than two goals to be scored is simply outstanding value.

Liverpool were far too strong for Everton last weekend and it is no surprise that they will go into this clash as clear favourites.

One of the big improvements for Liverpool this season has been their record at Anfield and they have won 14 of their past 20 games as home favourites for a clear profit.

Bournemouth claimed a fighting point for their clash with Southampton last weekend and they have not lost an English Premier League fixture for over a month.

Winning away from home has still proven to be an issue for the Cherries – they have won only two of their past 15 games as away underdogs for a clear loss.

This is another game where the value lies in their being plenty of goals and I am confident that Liverpool will win, but both teams will score.
