Is the top 4 chase over for Man United or do they still have a chance?
Saturday 16 April
5/10 Tottenham | Draw 32/10 | Brighton 52/10 (13:30)
Brighton managed to upset the Arsenal at the Emirates last time out and will come into this encounter with additional swagger. Their dynamic and crisp showing will only speak to the players’ confidence. The Seagulls have enough quality in their side but often seem to lack belief and patience in tougher affairs.
Spurs have been brilliant though; Antonio Conte continues to prove why he is a serial winner. He has come into Spurs and we’ve seen them become a side who are playing football with authority and an expectation to put whoever they are up against to the sword. Pile into the home win here.
2/9 Manchester United | Draw 54/10 | Norwich 11/1 (16:00)
I honestly cannot believe the price available on the Norwich win here, so much so, that if you are able to get your heart out of the way – I wouldn’t discourage a punt on the away side.
United have been incredibly flat and uninspiring, you almost get the feel they just want the league to end now (and trust me when I say, the fans are right behind them). I think both teams scoring is the way to go here – get on at 11/10.
7/4 Watford | Draw 22/10 | Brentford 16/10 (16:00)
Watford isn’t exactly a melon of a club, but I wouldn’t be too worried if I’m playing them. Brentford have been brilliant; their performances have started to go on a bit of a rise again and they are truly enjoying the momentum they find themselves on!
Granted, they aren’t the same away from home as they are at the Brentford Community Stadium – but I still think siding with them makes all the appeal. Back the Bees.
31/10 Southampton | Draw 26/10 | Arsenal 17/20 (16:00)
Southampton were smacked by an aggressive Chelsea outfit last time out. The Saints have seen two or more goals land in their last 24 games across all competition, and whilst it hasn’t always been in their favour – Ralph Hasenhuttl won’t change the approach his side have embodied all season. They will press high and look to convert early, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see another goal fest here.
Arsenal showed in the last 10 minutes against Brighton what they can do. If they start the game like that, I think it’s an easy Arsenal win. Nevertheless, complacent, and pedestrian football doesn’t have a place in this league..
To get through without too many issues, back over 2.5 goals at 9/10.
Sunday 17 April
27/20 Newcastle | Draw 9/4 | Leicester 2/1 (15:15)
Newcastle was finding favour where their football was played at a level which brought out physicality and energy in an unrelenting and unapologetic sense. They’ve seemingly taken their foot off the pedal in that regard and look to be paying the price.
Leicester’s attack is absolutely ticking now, averaging a little over two goals per 90 minutes for their last 25 matches. James Maddison is playing in the form of his life, and he could be the difference here. Back the visitors.
6/10 West Ham | Draw 28/10 | Burnley 44/10 (15:15)
It is no surprise that everything West Ham do goes through Michail Antonio. He is an exceptional player – don’t get me wrong – but I’m not sure he is the sort of player that should be critical to his side’s success…
David Moyes will know that it is incredibly important that his side continue to push for a European place, and these are the sorts of games he’ll certainly want to win. I’m all in on a home win (it is the only valid response for the Hammers).
TREBLE @ 4/1
Tottenham Win 5/10
Southampton vs Arsenal Over 2.5 goals 9/10
West Ham Win 6/10
