We’re set for a thrilling weekend of action after a packed midweek Premier League schedule, as top teams like Manchester United and Tottenham continue to battle for more points. For the latest rundown on what action lies ahead, consult our matchday 25 Premier League betting tips below.
Manchester United v Southampton Betting Tips
Tuesday saw yet another disappointing result for Manchester United, after losing for the sixth time in 12 matches under Ralf Rangnick. The Reds were impressive during the first half of their 1-1 draw at Burnley, but struggled to convert multiple chances and saw two goals disallowed.
Saturday’s early kick-off at Old Trafford sees Southampton return from last season’s 9-0 embarrassment, for what will be another tough away day for the Saints after taking on Tottenham in midweek. Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side should be safe from relegation, but more disappointing results for Southampton could put them back in the danger zone.
United’s attack has improved substantially under Rangnick, and if they can be more clinical when attempting to score, a big win won’t be too far away. This weekend could see it happen as the Reds are 7/12 favourites for the win.
A home win to nil could be interesting at 7/4, while a Reds win with over 4.5 goals is 6/1. Place £10 on favourites Manchester United at bet365 and get £50 in free bets.
Norwich City v Manchester City Betting Tips
Frontrunners Manchester City take on relegation-threatened Norwich City in Saturday’s late kick-off. Since Dean Smith’s arrival, the Canaries have seen improvements in form, so the outlook is much better for the Carrow Road club than it was a few months back.
However, Man City have been in formidable form recently as they look to defend their Premier League title. They’ve been near-perfect in the league since November, so taking on the struggling Canaries should result in an easy three points for Pep Guardiola’s side.
That’s mirrored in the odds, with Norwich out at 20/1 for the upset. The Blues are the 3/16 favourites in these Norwich v Man City predictions, with a Citizens win to nil looking promising at 20/23. The Blues kept five clean sheets in eight games before their midweek clash with Brentford, while they are 18/1 for a third successive 5-0 victory over the Canaries.
Tottenham v Wolves Betting Tips
Wolverhampton Wanderers are set for their second match against a north London side in the last few days, following up Thursday’s home game against Arsenal with a visit to Tottenham. Despite having already gotten rid of former Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo this season, Spurs are doing well without their previous boss.
Following a slow start to his Midlands tenure, Bruno Lage has led a steady revival for the team. The Wolves now look difficult to beat – demonstrated by a five-match unbeaten streak that saw them into their midweek encounter. The Wanderers came out on top in four of their five fixtures, drawing the other against title-chasing Chelsea.
Tottenham have also proven daunting under Antonio Conte, although the Italian did see his first defeat at Spurs after losing 2-0 to Chelsea just before the winter break. This match looks set to be tight, so an under 2.5 goals bet could be a good shout at 8/11.
Under 1.5 goals is 11/5, while you can bet against both teams scoring at 3/4. Hosts Spurs are 13/8 to win to nil. Make a bet with bet365 to receive £50 in free bets this weekend.
Burnley v Liverpool Betting Tips
Burnley will be looking to get another major point against Liverpool this weekend. Although the Clarets are at the bottom of the Premier League table after only one success all season, the Turf Moor faithful will be spurred on after landing a draw against Manchester United midweek.
Liverpool a different story, however, with Jurgen Klopp almost back to full strength after Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah’s time at the Africa Cup of Nations, meaning the Reds manager could have a fully-fit squad to draw on as we near the end of the season.
Challenging Man City will be tough, but all Liverpool can hope for is to keep clocking up wins in the hope the Blues slip up. The away team are favourites to pick up three points and are priced at 1/3 in the latest odds.The Clarets see an away win to nil looking attractive at 23/20.
Leicester City v West Ham Betting Tips
If David Moyes names the French defender in his starting line-up again, Kurt Zouma will see an even more hostile reception than earlier in the week. All eyes are on West Ham after the 27-year-old’s cat-kicking scandal, which overshadowed their 1-0 victory over Watford on Tuesday.
Leicester are fighting for consistency, and if rumours are true, Brendan Rodgers may have to fight to save his job. The Foxes boss could do with a big win over the fourth-placed Hammers this weekend, but getting there will be difficult.
The away team are favourites in Sunday afternoon’s feature game, priced at 6/4. The Foxes cannot be ruled out at 19/10, however. In what could be a close call, a both teams to score bet looks promising at 8/13. This has paid out in six out of the seven last meetings between these sides, and you can add a Leicester win for odds of 17/4, and benefit from £50 in free bets with bet365.
Premier League Betting Tips
After the London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal was cancelled due to the Blues’ Club World Cup duties in Abu Dhabi, there are nine more matches to look forward to – including Crystal Palace and Brentford. The Bees have been struggling recently, so back the Eagles at 2/1.
Frank Lampard lost his first match as Everton manager, so his first Premier League house game at Goodison Park against Leeds United is massive. Go with the Toffees at 6/5.
Now on their third manager of the season, there seems to be little Roy Hodgson can do to arrest Watford. Brighton are in quality form and prove good value at 11/9 for the Vicarage Road win.
Finally, Newcastle are looking to solidify their victory over Everton on Tuesday with another huge three points against Aston Villa on Sunday. The Villans have improved under Steven Gerrard, however, so a draw could be on the cards here at 5/2.
