Premier League Game Week 18 Predictions and Tips

There are likely to be a number of Premier League matches postponed due to COVID-19 this weekend. Although we’ll look ahead to the ten scheduled clashes and provide a prediction. The weekend is supposed to kick off with a Saturday lunchtime clash between Manchester United and Brighton, with the Seagulls struggling to secure a win right now.

Premier league betting tips week 18 - 18th & 19th Dec 2021

SATURDAY 18TH DECEMBER

Manchester United 12:30 Brighton & Hove Albion – POSTPONED.

Ralf Rangnick has started to organise his Manchester United team. And they can achieve another efficient victory at Old Trafford. The Red Devils have edged out Palace and Norwich in recent matches and they’ll clash with a Brighton side who are low on confidence. All of the Seagulls’ wins took part during the early part of the campaign, with Graham Potter’s side badly short of goals.

Aston Villa 15:00 Burnley

Steven Gerrard has had the Midas touch since taking charge of Aston Villa. The Birmingham side are now in the top half of the Premier League table. They might remain there until the end of the season. Ollie Watkins is spearheading the attack and Danny Ings might well join him up front, while Burnley would dearly wish to have their former player back. They might well draw a blank here.

Southampton 15:00 Brentford – POSTPONED.

We advised you to back the draw when the Saints headed to Selhurst Park in the week and it might be another point gained against the Bees. Five of the eight games at St Mary’s have ended all square, while 50% of Brentford’s away games have also been drawn. The two teams are relatively evenly-matched and this could easily be a 1-1 or 2-2 draw.

Watford 15:00 Crystal Palace – POSTPONED.

Palace were involved in a 2-2 draw against Palace directly after beating Everton 3-1. Therefore, Patrick Vieira’s side are full of goals and they are likely to find the net against a Watford side who have conceded seventeen goals in eight home games. However, Emmanuel Dennis and Josh King are full of goals themselves and we think both sides will score.

West Ham United 15:00 Norwich City – POSTPONED.

We think West Ham United can return to winning ways against the bottom-placed club in the Premier League table. The Hammers have been through the mill in recent weeks. Although they should be able to create plenty against a Norwich side who are so short of goals. The best way to play this clash could be backing David Moyes’ side to win without conceding. Why not research other types of bet with the over 2.5 goals tips resources that are freely available.

Leeds United 17:30 Arsenal

Arsenal produced a really strong performance to overcome West Ham on Wednesday night. And perhaps they’ll prove too strong for Leeds United at Elland Road. Mikel Arteta’s side were pushing the Hammers back from an early stag. With Bukayo Saka looking lively and he’s set to be joined by partner in crime Emil Smith Rowe. Leeds are reeling after a 7-0 reverse against Manchester City and they can be opposed.

SUNDAY 19TH DECEMBER

Everton 12:00 Leicester City – POSTPONED.

Rafael Benitez is under the cosh at Goodison Park although his team created plenty when recently overcoming Arsenal. In addition to scoring two legitimate goals, there were also two chalked off for VAR. Therefore, his Everton side are capable of scoring against Leicester’s leaky defence, although we shouldn’t expect the Foxes to be nullified after recently scoring four against Newcastle.

Wolverhampton Wanderers 14:00 Chelsea

Wolves are an outstanding team defensively right now. They have conceded just two goals in the past six games and those came against Liverpool and Manchester City. Jose Sa is operating smartly behind a defence marshalled by Conor Coady, with Chelsea unlikely to get a lot of change at Molineux. We wouldn’t put you off backing the home side at a big price but we’ll take then on the Asian Handicap instead.

Newcastle United 14:15 Manchester City

Newcastle United are a team who will undergo serious work in a few weeks’ time. Right now, they are nothing more than a Championship side who are set to be playing second tier football and it’s hard to see them standing in the way of Manchester City. The visitors have Kevin de Bruyne back and we can see them winning this clash by a comfortable margin.

Tottenham Hotspur 16:30 Liverpool

Liverpool can’t be opposed while they’re enjoying such a rich vein of form. The Reds will head to London feeling confident of another victory and Tottenham haven’t indicated that they are capable of securing a point. Spurs are starting to pick up under Antonio Conte and could find the net in this clash although that is only likely to be a consolation effort. If your thinking of placing a bet on this game, why not see how much funds you have in your bookies account, I know I am going to take a look in my Betfred Account.  This is one of the editorial teams Top Tips of the day!

Let’s hope we get some Premier League action this weekend. Some of the above picks might be included in our weekend accumulators. The title race will continue to take shape, while the race for a top four spot is also hotting up. There are some interesting betting odds on the coupon and it’s sometimes worth going for an alternative market.
