The COVID-19 pandemic might rule out a game or two from the midweek programme, although there are currently ten matches due to be staged. Three clashes on Tuesday including Manchester United heading to Brentford, while Arsenal entertain West Ham on Wednesday. On Thursday, Chelsea and Liverpool are short-priced favourites to claim three points, while Leicester clash with Spurs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sp4EUeKdtB8 TUESDAY 14TH DECEMBER Brentford 19:30 Manchester United The Red Devils were unconvincing when winning 1-0 at Carrow Road. David de Gea was typically strong between the sticks. It looks as though Manchester United will be missing key personnel through COVID, with Brentford or the draw looking the best option. Thomas Frank’s side came from behind to beat Watford and dominated possession. BEST BET: Brentford or Draw Norwich City 19:45 Aston Villa Norwich are seriously short of goals and it will probably mean they are relegated. The Canaries were an even match for Manchester United on Saturday although came off worse due to a failure to create chances. We think Aston Villa will keep things tight here and we can’t see more than two goals being scored. BEST BET: Under 2.5 Goals Manchester City 20:00 Leeds United Manchester City are massive odds-on although there could be merit in backing the home win and both teams to find the net. This happened in the five games previously to the Citizens’ 1-0 win over Wolves on Saturday. Leeds lost 3-2 at Chelsea and they will have another go at high-flying opponents here before focusing on landing points against more modest opponents.

BEST BET: Man City + BTTS Yes WEDNESDAY 15TH DECEMBER Brighton 19:30 Wolves Brighton have drawn nine of their previous eleven matches and we might see another Seagulls clash end all square. Graham Potter’s side don’t tend to score or concede a lot, while the same can be said of Wolverhampton Wanderers. The visitors are missing Raul Jimenez although the form of Conor Coady and Jose Sa have been really impressive this term. BEST BET: Draw Burnley 19:30 Watford Burnley’s 3-3 draw against Crystal Palace looks to be something of an outlier considering that the Clarets have reverted to type in recent clashes. They have scored just one goal in their past three matches. In each of those games, there have been just one shot on target. Watford are involved in higher-scoring games although a 1-0 scrappy victory would give them breathing space. BEST BET: Under 2.5 Goals Crystal Palace 19:30 Southampton Patrick Vieira saw his Palace team claim a 3-1 win over Everton on Sunday although all three goals were gift-wrapped by the Toffees. It might be tougher breaking down a Southampton side who have lost seven of their sixteen Premier League clashes this season. We think the draw offers better value than the home win.

BEST BET: Draw Arsenal 20:00 West Ham United A high-scoring London derby could be on the cards here. Arsenal have scored in seven of their eight games at the Emirates Stadium this term, with Mikel Arteta’s side having beaten Southampton 3-0. West Ham were nullified by Burnley at the weekend although they have scored twelve goals in eight away games. BEST BET: BTTS Yes THURSDAY 16TH DECEMBER Leicester City 19:30 Tottenham Hotspur Leicester are favourites to win this clash although a 4-0 win over Newcastle doesn’t paper over the defensive cracks at the King Power. Spurs arrive having scored five goals in two matches and they will be raring to go after an enforced break. We think that both sides are likely to find the net over the ninety minutes here. BEST BET: BTTS Yes Chelsea 19:45 Everton Chelsea needed a late Jorginho penalty to overcome Leeds United, although they might find things easier against an Everton side who continue to plummet down the table. Rafael Benitez must be thinking it might be better to walk away from a toxic situation and this could be a clash where Romelu Lukaku fills his boots. BEST BET: Chelsea -2 Liverpool 20:00 Newcastle United Liverpool can make short work of a Newcastle team who were thrashed 4-0 at the King Power Stadium on Sunday. The Reds were limited to one goal against Aston Villa although they usually fill their boots against these sort of opponents. Diego Jota should be back in the starting line-up and this might be a sizeable win. BEST BET: Liverpool -2
