Our bet expert Jones Knows offers his insight and the best bets in the Premier League weekend and explains why the Underdog -tag fitted man Utd against Arsenal.
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City, Saturday 12.30 pm
Jeremy Doku is not a player where you would like to go on a goal if your life depended on him who scored, but he is without a doubt an extremely dangerous attacker when his dancing feet are two -step to the right rhythm.
He sent Trent Alexander-Arnold for a starter, head and pudding during the recent collision with Liverpool, although his last ball was routinely treated by the teammates of Alexander-Arnold.
Spurs could also not deal with him in the 1-0 victory of the city and when the Belgian is in this mood, he is a player on the shot markets. In his last four starts for City, he landed for gamblers who combine his two or more shot line and his shot at a target price, which is accessible via the Buildabet function with Sky Bet.
It is a very juicy 13/8 with Sky Bet this weekend, a bet with a large potential the landed in the corresponding competition between the two and the willingness of Nottingham Forest to fall very deeply out of possession, leading to opposition that the shots produces. This season Forest admits 13.6 shots per match – the sixth most of each team.
Score prediction: 1-1 | Jones Knows' Best Bet: Jeremy Doku to have +2 Shots & +1 Shot on goal (13/8 with Sky Bet)
Brighton vs Fulham, Saturday 3 p.m. – Play Super 6 here!
The draw looks a big prize here between two very evenly tailored teams in assessing all the evidence. Both are very safe at the back, especially Fulham away from home. They have only set two or more goals in Liverpool and Man City and in a freak result against West Ham where the Hammers scored with three of their four shots.
And the 1.11 expected goals from Fulham against per 90 -ratio on the road is the third best in the Premier League, only improved by Liverpool and Arsenal.
Although Brighton is in a disastering form and win five in a row, because it is a 7-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest, I would not take any opportunities for a home win, because Fulham is very reliable in getting at least a goal that is scored in all competitions in their last 16 outputs.
Brighton has drawn 10 games this season, Fulham Nine, so the 5/2 with Sky Bet for the draw and the 6/1 for the 1-1 correct score to have opportunities.
Score prediction: 1-1
Crystal Palace vs Ippswich, Saturday 3 pm – Play Super 6 here!
Liam Delap is a scrap ball. He has been one of the radiant lights of a very grim season for Ipswich, who are still somehow in the chance of survival of a puncher, especially with a potentially extensive Matheus Cunha ban that threatens for wolves.
That said, the side of Kieran McKenna does not show many signs of compiling a run and this is again a very difficult task for them.
But it is the Delap who caught my attention from an error perspective. This season he dedicated 2.57 errors per game while taking on the battle with the backs of the opposition. That makes the mistakes option with the player against him, very interesting when he plays and it is a bet here with Maxence Lacroix, who is 7/2 with Sky Bet to pollute twice.
It is a bet that landed on Portman Road in the inverted fixture.
Score forecast: 2-1 | Jones Knows' Best Bet: Maxence Lacroix must be contaminated at least twice (7/2 with Sky Bet)
Liverpool vs Southampton, Saturday 3 p.m. – Play Super 6 here!
Even in the immediate aftermath of the emotional night of Liverpool in Paris, Arne Slot could not really enjoy the Smash-and-Grab victory. He had Southampton to his thoughts and said how important the Anfield -on Saturday will be if his team tries to make his way through their ruthless workload on all fronts.
Of course this is a perfect match, because saints are the worst team, perhaps in the Premier League history, but the markets are a bit dragged along with the Reds they expect to blow away. They just don't have to waste the energy.
It is not the lock way. At all costs, it will be the result of trying to manage the fatigue factor.
The Reds have given a goal of two and a half goal through the handicaps and the goal line is set to four.
I would like to withdraw against both based on the factors around this match. And Liverpool does not shoot at their usual levels in forward areas anyway, they have scored no more than two in a match in their last seven with a general goals per game average of 1.57 and an expected goals average of only 1.22 per game. That is a sign of fatigue.
If you support Southampton with a +3 goal and less than 4.5 total match goals, you will get many probably correct scores to your advantage at Evens with Sky Bet.
Score prediction: 1-0
Brentford vs Aston Villa, Saturday 5.30 pm, live on Sky Sports
Aston Villa has only won one of their last seven Premier League matches and is unable to beat Wolves, Ipswich and Crystal Palace in that run.
Only the lower four have taken fewer points in that time frame.
Villa also has such a bad record in their next game after a Champions League -Midweek competition that did not win in their last seven of such competitions. This looks a great opportunity for Brentford, who will have the vital Christian Norgaard back in the engine room after he had missed the draw with Everton.
The goals must also flow. Villa has only held three clean sheets in their 28 Premier League matches this season, while more goals have been scored in the Gtech Community stage this season than any other Premier League site (56).
It is logical to combine a Brentford victory with more than 2.5 goals on 2/1 with Sky Bet.
Score prediction: 3-2
Wolves vs Everton, Saturday 8 p.m.
The Matheus Cunha show is now becoming a bit tiring. Throwing his hands in the air when he doesn't get the ball, tries to score directly from corners and people who get into his face.
When wolves need him the most, he first puts himself. Yes, the goals and the moments of the world-class sparkle show what a special player he is, but he shows why he plays for wolves and not one of the elite clubs.
That flammable side of his personality will stop him in his career.
After that red card at Bournemouth, his suspension leaves wolves very briefly when attacking stores and it is difficult to see how they can find a way against an Everton defense that is beautifully led by Jarrad Branthwaite. They have already held nine clean sheets this season – and another could be here on the way with Everton who wins to zero and worth some respect on 7/2 with Sky Bet.
Score prediction: 0-1
Chelsea vs Leicester, Sunday 2 p.m.
After three consecutive defeats in the Premier League, Chelsea did not play back-to-back home games against Southampton and Leicester at a better moment for Enzo Maresca.
The Foxes, the former club of Maresca, have of course given up hope based on recent performances and defend their box with such a lack of conviction that Chelsea does not have to be too complicated to create great opportunities. Just putting the ball in the box is enough.
A player who likes to make those runs and to cross, is Enzo Fernandez, who is currently playing the best football in his Chelsea career. He scored two in his last two and half games. His 12/1 first goal price with Sky Bet looks a way to explore.
Score prediction: 2-0
Tottenham vs Bournemouth, Sunday 2 pm, live on Sky Sports
The fact that Bournemouth are favorites to win in Tottenham tells you the story.
It shows you how far traces have fallen this season under Ange Postecoglou and also what a Barnstorming Job Andoni Iraola does on the south coast.
Spurs has lost 14 Premier League matches – only the bottom four have lost more – and their season hangs on their home collision with AZ Alkmaar on Thursday evening. There are now few apologies for Postcoglou.
I am not sure if they have the legs, midfield mobility and the defensive Nous to live at the Cherries, who ran over them in the reverse match, won 1-0 only a number of impressive underlying attacks of 3.71 in expected goals of their 21 shots.
Antoine Semenyo will enjoy the space offered to him in the transition and he works in an area where traces are weak between Pedro Porro and the one who plays center-back. The 9/4 for Semenyo to score speeds as a great commitment.
Score prediction: 1-3
Manchester United vs Arsenal, Sunday 4.30 pm, live on Sky Sports
Whatever Arsenal did in the midweek against the circus act that the PSV -Backline was, this is still a team with an unreliability for the goal. Back-to-back empty places in the Premier League are still relevant despite the goal Bonanza in midweek. They only gathered three shots on goal about those two previous competitions, despite taking 33 shots.
United has shown some functionality in being able to play a defensive game of the wall, beat Fulham on Grizzly-Mode and limit ippswich to slender pickings in terms of opportunities when playing with a man less for 55 minutes.
They can make this a struggle for Arsenal and I have seen worse 4/1 shots with Sky Bet than the home win prize of United here.
Remember that Under Ruben Amorim, United went to Liverpool and have been signed, Manchester City beaten and Arsenal from the FA Cup. When they are the underdog, they have had their woofing days.
And, based on the tendency of United not to score before the break, it happened in 17 of their last 20 games, the 0-0 half-time correct score on 13/8 with Sky Bet is also a runner.
Score prediction: 1-0
West Ham vs Newcastle, Monday 8 p.m., live on Sky Sports
The case to bet against Newcastle here is an easy with them priced as clear favorites to win the game.
What is on the horizon is not enough in gambling. Eddie Howe can talk as much as he wants full focus on this game on this game, but players will have one eye on the Wembley date next Sunday against Liverpool.
Their overall achievements are likely to be influenced on the basis of previous luminaires with teams in their last match before a cup final. If you eliminate Arsenal, Liverpool, Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea from the comparison of the 21 clubs to reach a large domestic final, members 13 of them a defeat in the competition for the final.
Some of those defeats were also shock results, such as Watford at home from 4-1 against West Ham at home before the FA Cup final of 2019 and Crystal Palace with 4-1 away in Southampton before the FA Cup final 2016. No Anthony Gordon and Lewis Hall is a huge blow to the tone.
West Ham to win on 2/1 with Sky Bet looks a good gamble.
