There is a full programme of Premier League matches scheduled for this weekend.

FRIDAY 21ST JANUARY

Watford 20:00 Norwich City

Watford are hovering around the even money mark to win this game. However, they recently lost seven games on the bounce before a 1-1 draw at Newcastle. They have also lost seven of their ten matches at Vicarage Road. Therefore, we’ll opt for BTTS Yes instead. Norwich City claimed a 2-1 win over Everton last weekend and they need to keep going for wins in order to survive.

SATURDAY 22ND JANUARY

Everton 12:30 Aston Villa

We’re opting for the same pick at Goodison Park for this Saturday lunchtime encounter. Everton FC have parted company with Rafael Benitez and they will be led into battle by chest-thumping Duncan Ferguson. There could be fireworks on the touchline as Steven Gerrard will be in the opposition dugout and the recent 2-2 draw at Villa Park highlighted that his team are capable of scoring and conceding in equal measure.

Brentford 15:00 Wolverhampton Wanderers

We’ll take a punt on Wolves to win at the Brentford Community Stadium. Bruno Lage’s side have claimed victory in 50% of their away matches and that defensive record continues to be amazing. The fact that Brentford Football Club come into this match after a clash against Manchester United on Wednesday is against them. With the Bees having lost 50% of their home matches.

Leeds United 15:00 Newcastle United

We fancy Leeds United to continue their winning habit against a struggling Newcastle side. Marcelo Bielsa’s side were fantastic when claiming a 3-2 victory at the London Stadium. Rather than wager them at odds-on, we think there’s more value backing Leeds to win and both sides to find the net. Eddie Howe’s side should be good for a goal in this clash at Elland Road.

Manchester United 15:00 West Ham United

Manchester United at odds-on looks a laughable price, with the Red Devils having played Brentford on Wednesday night before this clash. West Ham might have suffered fatigue when losing 3-2 at home to Leeds. Although David Moyes side have been better than United this season. With Declan Rice a powerhouse in midfield and Jarrod Bowen causing mayhem in attack, we can back them with confidence on the Asian Handicap.

Southampton 17:30 Manchester City

Manchester City’s amazing winning run continues and it’s hard to oppose them for this teatime clash at St Mary’s. However, we’ve noticed that Southampton FC have found the net in their past six encounters. The Saints put four past Brentford recently and Ralph Hasenhuttl continues to demonstrate that he’s a high-calibre manager. We expect a high-scoring away victory in this clash.

SUNDAY 23RD JANUARY

Arsenal 14:00 Burnley

Both teams have had an enforced break recently, with Arsenal strong favourites to get back on the winning trail here. Mikel Arteta is likely to have a strong team clashing with a Burnley side who only had ten players available a few days ago. They’re also missing Chris Wood and the best way to play this clash could be a Gunners victory without conceding a goal.

Crystal Palace 14:00 Liverpool

We think Liverpool can be opposed at Selhurst Park. For starters, they will have played Arsenal in the EFL Cup on Thursday night. Secondly, it’s clear that the Reds lack an attacking edge without Mo Salah and Sadio Mane. Thirdly, the Merseyside team have failed to win five of their eleven away games this term. A vibrant Palace side are certainly capable of earning a point here.

Leicester City 14:00 Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton are becoming fairly predictable when it comes to scoring a modest number of goals and also keeping teams at bay. They have drawn over 50% of their Premier League matches this term and it’s therefore obvious where the value lies in the Full-Time Result market. Leicester are hard to predict and they’ve been short of matches recently, so it might be worth judging their performance against Spurs.

Premier League Betting Tip IconBEST BET: Draw

Chelsea 16:30 Tottenham Hotspur

Chelsea have beaten Tottenham three times this season without conceding a goal each time. However, the Blues look too short a price against a Spurs side who should be fresher despite playing Leicester on Wednesday night. Thomas Tuchel alluded to the fact that his team look physically and mentally tired. With Antonio Conte looking to put up some stubborn resistance and we’ll opt for a low-scoring encounter.
