Live on TNT Sports 1: Saturday 12:30. Aston Villa v Man City. Manchester City are having a dreadful time of things lately, with the latest bad result involving them losing the derby at home. However, they are still warm favourites to triumph against Aston Villa on Saturday lunchtime, with William Hill offering 11/10 that Pep Guardiola’s side claim the points. However, the draw could represent better value at 9/4 with bet365.
The Villans are generally hard to beat at home and won this fixture last season, with Ladbrokes going 23/10 that Unai Emery’s side land the pre-Christmas spoils, with Jhon Duran having scored in his past three encounters. The Colombian is a standout 17/2 with bet365 to break the deadlock.
Saturday 15:00.
West Ham United landed a draw at Bournemouth on Monday and they are now 15/8 with Ladbrokes to defeat a Brighton side who have hit the buffers in recent games. The Seagulls are a 13/10 chance with BoyleSports to get the job done, although they have failed to win any of their previous four clashes. Betfred have 27/10 that this clash ends all square.
Brentford boast excellent home form this season, with the Bees landing seven wins and a draw from eight games at the Gtech Stadium. They could be regarded as value at 23/20 with Coral to overcome a Nottingham Forest side who are in an excellent position, although the Tricky Trees are having the mother of all seasons. You can get 21/10 with William Hill that they win and a draw has been chalked up at 13/5 with Coral.
Ipswich Town landed a dramatic 2-1 win at Wolves to boost their survival hopes, with bet365 offering 15/4 that the Tractor Boys are now able to overcome Newcastle United. Kieran McKenna’s side are the big outsiders against a Magpies side who are 8/11 with BoyleSports to get the job done. We can see BTTS Yes happening here and that’s priced at 8/13 with William Hill.
Live on Sky Sports: Saturday 17:30. Crystal Palace v Arsenal. We’ve got a Saturday teatime London derby at Selhurst Park and an in-form Crystal Palace side are 9/2 with Betfred to claim another victory and put a dent in Arsenal’s faint title hopes. There’s the chance to get 7/5 with William Hill about the Eagles and the draw on the Double Chance market, although the Gunners are warm favourites.
Mikel Arteta’s side are 3/5 with Ladbrokes to return to winning ways and perhaps they can achieve this without conceding. An Arsenal win to nil can be wagered at 17/10 with Coral, with bet365 offering 11/2 that Bukayo Saka breaks the deadlock.
Live on Sky Sports: Sunday 14:00. Fulham v Southampton. Fulham look like banker material when they line up against Southampton, with Coral offering 4/9 that the Cottagers beat a managerless team who were thrashed 5-0 by Tottenham last weekend. It could be a one-sided affair, with bet365 chalking up 13/8 that the London side claim a victory without conceding.
Raul Jimenez has the centre forward position for Fulham, with bet365 offering 4/1 that the Mexican breaks the deadlock, although Alex Iwobi can be wagered at 13/2 with Betfred to score the opening goal and the Nigerian international is sure to get chances in this game.
Sunday 14:00.
Leicester City and Wolves meet in a Premier League basement battle, with the Foxes marginal favourites to land the points. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side are a 6/4 chance with William Hill to overcome a managerless side who have lost five of their eight away games this season. However, perhaps Wanderers will be galvanised and Ladbrokes have 17/10 that they pull off a victory.
Everton were able to claim a goalless draw at the Emirates Stadium last time out, with the Toffees now 4/1 with Betfred to beat a Chelsea team who are looking increasingly like title contenders. The London side will be confident of a pre-Christmas success and the best price is 8/13 with Ladbrokes that we see an away win, while a Chelsea win to nil can be wagered at 21/10 with Betfred.
Manchester United are a 5/6 chance with Ladbrokes to overcome Bournemouth on Sunday, although some will feel as though the Red Devils are a bit on the short side. The Cherries are having a strong campaign and Betfred have 3/1 that Andoni Iraola’s team are able to land their fourth away victory of the campaign. There’s also a case for the game ending all square at 29/10 with bet365.
Live on Sky Sports: Sunday 16:30. Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool. We’re set for an entertaining encounter on Sunday afternoon when Tottenham Hotspur host Liverpool. It could be closer than the odds suggest and Spurs look a spot of value at 14/5 with Ladbrokes to get things right and claim a victory which would dent their opponents’ title hopes. However, the visitors are 8/11 favourites with BoyleSports to get the spoils.
A draw can be backed at 16/5 with Coral and this might be the high-scoring variety, with William Hill making BTTS Yes a 4/11 chance. We think that the goal count could be on the high side and Over 3.5 Goals is trading at 8/11 with bet365.
