The highlight fixtures just keep coming – and we simply love to see it! The Premier League proves that it is the most captivating league in Europe week in and week out.
The highlight fixture of course sees United host Spurs – but the intricacy of the weekends betting opportunities run much deeper than that!
Saturday 12 March
54/10 Brighton | Draw 36/10 | Liverpool 9/20 (14:30)
Brighton has somewhat gone off the boil recently…their attacking prowess is rusty and just lethargic to be completely honest. Now, when you compare that to that of Liverpool – its chalk and cheese!
The visitors have won their last 12 games in all competitions, scoring 28 goals, including the last seven in the league. It truly is a relentless charge. Yes, they were made to work against West Ham, but those are the sorts of games that win you championships. Back the away win and add to everything, provident fund confidence!
11/10 Brentford | Draw 23/10 | Burnley 24/10 (17:00)
The reliance Burnley have on Ben Mee is monstrous. Without their defensive talisman, the Clarets have failed to win their last 13 fixtures! It’s ridiculous to think that without their defender, their organizational and robust approach to football games is non-existent…
Brentford know they are now fully apart of a relegation scrap, and it seems to have kicked them back into gear. My only concern is the defensive style the visitors usually employ on the road – they just give away too many chances. I think over 2.5 goals at 5/4 might be the safer play.
Sunday 13 March
1/4 Chelsea | Draw 46/10 | Newcastle 11/1 (16:00)
Chelsea is certainly beginning to look as though they are somewhere near their best again. Thomas Tuchel has done an excellent job of keeping everything at Stamford Bridge together amidst their off-field politics…and there isn’t any point trying to hide from it, there must be some effect on the players mentality when the leadership of the club is uncertain.
Newcastle have been brilliant in their own right; I agree Chelsea win this…I just don’t think 1/4 is an accurate depiction of that win. Under Eddie Howe, the Magpies are unafraid of getting stuck in and adapting to their opposition. They will be happy to sit back, and counter and I back them to ‘nick’ a goal. 5/4 about both teams to score looks inviting – and I can’t seem to help myself.
13/20 Leeds | Draw 31/10 | Norwich 37/10 (16:00)
I think Leeds were desperately unlucky against Leicester. Jesse March suggested much of the same under his leadership – and after that performance I think I believe him! Leeds seemed to be more structured and secure in what they were doing, but the fluidity with which they go forward, and attack goal has remained!
The home win is a banker – get on!
13/10 Everton | Draw 22/10 | Wolves 22/10 (16:00)
Everton were thrashed by Spurs in midweek, but I wouldn’t read too much into that. I’m not suggesting Everton win this, but their away form is well…let’s just say ‘in line’ with their Monday night horror show.
Wolves have proven themselves a difficult side to beat. Their European charge isn’t going anywhere, and I must admit – its brilliant to see. Back both teams to score at 19/20.
21/20 West Ham | Draw 49/20 | Aston Villa 26/10 (16:00)
The work being done by Steven Gerard is impressive. Villa’s shape is increasingly reliant on a narrower approach since their win at Brighton and whilst they don’t seem to be concerned about playing with an awful amount of width…they still reach an expansive field position by the time they end up in the final third.
West Ham should have beaten Liverpool – you can take that to the bank. The chances they let go were embarrassing and just unbecoming a professional football team! Ok, I might be emotional – but that isn’t the point!
I think Villa win the game, but I think given the way the visitors play…a safer bet would be West Ham winning the corner race. Back the former on the nose and the latter for those extended multiples.
6/10 Southampton | Draw 31/10 | Watford 42/10 (16:00)
I think Watford’s performances under Roy Hodgson have been incredibly underestimated, they are often overlooked, and I can’t understand why. Since Hodgson’s arrival, Watford have been able to put together defensive performances which just seem to keep them in the game – and that’s all they need really.
Southampton have been brilliant at home, but I’m going to take them on here. Back the away win/draw double chance at 12/10.
5/10 Arsenal | Draw 7/2 | Leicester 48/10 (18:30)
Arsenal have been immense. Their surge toward the Champions League places is remarkable when you consider the start they had to this season – another reminder of the fickle nature of the modern sports fan.
Martin Odegaard has been superb for his side and has been directly or indirectly involved in everything.
Leicester looked a little lackluster against Leeds, and to be fair, I don’t think they deserved the win. Arsenal to win is a banker for all multiples – but I wouldn’t discourage a bet on the nose for the Norwegian to find the back of the net.
Monday 14 March
17/2 Crystal Palace | Draw 46/10 | Manchester City 2/7 (22:00)
Manchester City is simply titanic! The fluidity of their play, the aggressive and powerful approach they take to every element of the football match and the sheer quality on display all the while is truly out of this world.
Palace have been decent this season, they aren’t completely out of the woods, but I don’t think they’re in too much danger now. Of course, Liverpool fans around the world will be hoping for a repeat of that night at Selhurst for the Citizens…but I’m sure they’ve learnt their lesson about living in hope! Back the visitors to score in both halves at 9/10.
TREBLE @ 3/1
Liverpool Win 9/20
Leeds Win 13/20
Arsenal Win 5/10
