Eddie Howe’s side can be backed at 11/5 with bet365 to claim three points along with both teams scoring and it’s easy to see this outcome happening.
Spurs are a 15/8 chance with Coral to claim a much-needed New Year victory and they will aim to attack their opponents from the off. You can get 14/5 with Ladbrokes that the clash ends all square, with a 2-1 victory in favour of Newcastle available to wager at 10/1 with bet365.
Saturday 15:00.
Chelsea have hit the buffers and fallen well behind Liverpool and Arsenal, although they have a chance to recover when heading to Selhurst Park. BoyleSports offer 20/23 that Enzo Maresca’s side beat a Crystal Palace team who are 11/4 with Betfred to win this London derby. They are running a tight ship defensively and it’s plausible we’ll see a draw at 27/10 with Coral.
We’ve got a Midlands encounter between Aston Villa and Leicester City, with the home side massive favourites to land the spoils. Betfred make them a 3/10 chance to overcome a Foxes side who are scrapping against the drop, with the Villans trading at 20/21 with bet365 to lead at half-time and full-time. Ollie Watkins is a 7/2 chance with William Hill to score first.
Manchester City returned to winning ways at Leicester and they’re anticipated to land another victory when hosting West Ham. Coral go 1/3 that Pep Guardiola’s side beat their London opponents and perhaps a win to nil is the value proposition. William Hill have 17/10 that this happens, with the Hammers priced at 15/2 with BoyleSports to secure the win.
Southampton are staring down the barrel and they need to start picking up wins quickly. The Saints host Brentford this weekend and Coral make them a 7/4 chance to land a victory against a Bees side who have struggled to collect points on the road. However, they are 31/20 with bet365 to leave St Mary’s with a maximum, while the draw is 13/5 with Ladbrokes.
Bournemouth are having a strong season and they’re warm favourites to overcome Everton, with the Cherries available at 8/11 with Bet365 to ease past a Toffees team who are struggle to score goals right now. Sean Dyche will look for his team to be defensively solid and Under 2.5 Goals could be worth a nibble at even money with Betfred.
Live on Sky Sports: Saturday 17:30. Brighton & Hove Albion v Arsenal. Brighton & Hove Albion have the tough task of trying to topple Arsenal in this Saturday teatime encounter, although the Seagulls are a 7/2 chance with Ladbrokes to end their winless run with a victory against the Gunners. Mikel Arteta’s side came from behind on New Year’s Day to beat Brentford and they are a 4/5 chance with bet365 to get the job done here.
Bet365 have 14/5 that the clash ends all square, with the BTTS Yes outcome easy to back at 8/13 with Betfred. An Arsenal win and both teams to score can be wagered at 9/4 with BoyleSports.
Live on Sky Sports: Sunday 14:00. Fulham v Ipswich Town. Ipswich Town had a morale-boosting win over Chelsea in their final game of 2024 and they will now try to get something at Craven Cottage. It could be a tall order according to the latest odds, with Betfred prepared to offer 9/2 that Kieran McKenna’s side win the game and you can get 31/10 with Bet365 that they land a valuable draw.
Fulham might be a popular accumulator selection at 4/7 with BoyleSports although they aren’t hugely reliable as bankers. However, the 9/5 with bet365 that Marco Silva’s side without conceding looks far more attractive.
Live on Sky Sports: Sunday 16:30. Liverpool v Man Utd. Liverpool haven’t been this short a price to beat Manchester United for several seasons. Ladbrokes offer a best price 1/4 that Arne Slot’s side claim the spoils and punters will be searching for bigger odds, with BoyleSports going 4/5 that the Reds lead at half-time and full-time, with the Red Devils having struggled badly against Newcastle last time out.
Ruben Amorim has struggled to get a tune out of the squad and bet365 have 10/1 that United manage to pull a rabbit out of the hat with a win here. The draw is trading at 11/2 with Ladbrokes and perhaps the visitors can set up with a defensive game plan to nullify their big-scoring opponents.
Live on Sky Sports: Monday 20:00. Wolves v Nottingham Forest. Wolves and Nottingham Forest meet in a Midlands clash on Monday night, with the home side trading at 21/10 with BoyleSports to beat opposition who have been the surprise package in the Premier League this term. The visitors are genuine top-four contenders and Coral have 7/5 that they delight their supporters with another away win.
Vitor Pereira has enjoyed a strong start as Wanderers manager and Betfred have 23/10 that the game ends all square, although the absence of Matheus Cunha makes Wolves weaker and that man Chris Wood can be backed at 5/1 with Bet365 to score the opening goal of the game.
