Leeds United ($2.20)

Draw ($3.40)

After being royally thumped by Arsenal last weekend, Leeds will be chasing a response in front of their home fans here against Nottingham Forest. The whites had looked to have turn a bit of a corner prior to last weekend’s result and they will be desperate to get back on track. For Forest, decent if not unremarkable results have been the key tag line from Sean Dyche’s reign but they know the importance of games like this. This will be feisty and cagey, with both sides sure to settle for a draw.

Manchester United ($1.67)

Tottenham ($4.80)

Draw ($4.50)

The Michael Carrick bandwagon is in full flow for Manchester United and they will be looking to pick off their next opponents here in Tottenham. Three wins in a row have United dreaming of dizzying heights again this season and who knows how far they can go with their former midfielder at the wheel. For Spurs, kicking on from their famous draw with Manchester City will be key and they will see this as a chance to build some momentum. That said, United are going very well at the moment and they should prevail here.

Fulham vs Everton @ Craven Cottage

Betting Tip: The match to finish as a draw @ $3.30

BET NOW

Fulham ($2.15)

Everton ($3.75)

Draw ($3.30)

Late goals had differing outcomes for both Fulham and Everton last weekend, with the Cottagers seeing a point slip away at Manchester United and Everton picking up a late point at Brighton. Both sides have had decent campaigns without setting the world alight and they will be hopeful of kicking on over the closing weeks of the campaign. Fulham at home are always a very dangerous side but Everton simply don’t give up, and this could be an entertaining draw.

Burnley vs West Ham United @ Turf Moor

Betting Tip: West Ham United to win the match @ $2.20

BET NOW

Burnley ($3.40)

West Ham United ($2.20)

Draw ($3.50)

A hugely significant game in Burnley’s season lies in wait, as they welcome West Ham to Lancashire. The Clarets have really lost their way in recent times, with Monday’s 3-0 loss at Sunderland particularly uninspiring. West Ham were undone by a stirring Chelsea comeback but have been vastly improved in recent weeks and are chasing down Premier League safety with urgency. This is a big one for both sides and West Ham should pull through.

Bournemouth vs Aston Villa @ Vitality Stadium

Betting Tip: Aston Villa to win the match @ $2.50

BET NOW

Bournemouth ($2.75)

Aston Villa ($2.50)

Draw ($3.50)

A couple of poor home results have put a spanner in Aston Villa’s title hopes and they will be desperate to get back on track here against Bournemouth. The Cherries won well at Wolves last weekend and remain one of the more enigmatic Premier League sides. For Villa, the situation is simple, they need to start winning games quickly if they are to have any hope of lifting the title and this is a big one for them. They tend to play their best stuff on the road, and they could outscore Bournemouth here.

Wolves ($5.00)

Chelsea ($1.73)

Draw ($4.20)

It has been a long season for lowly Wolves and they will be in for another tough test here against in-form Chelsea. A tame home loss to Bournemouth summed up Wanderers’ campaign last time out and they are already adapting for life in the Championship it seems. Chelsea meanwhile are going along well under Liam Rosenior and although they crashed out of the Carabao Cup in midweek, they are enjoying a decent period. This should be all about Chelsea, who look well placed to win here.

Arsenal ($1.25)

Sunderland ($16.00)

Draw ($6.50)

With their place in the Carabao Cup final assured, Arsenal will be looking to kick on with their title bid here at home to Sunderland. The Gunners look to be the side to catch across all domestic competitions currently and they will be out to rattle into the Black Cats here. Sunderland’s dream season continues, with their 3-0 win over Burnley their latest scalp. This looks set to be one way traffic, with Arsenal sure to be on the front foot from the off and they should eventually break Sunderland down.

Newcastle United vs Brentford @ St James’s Park

Betting Tip: Newcastle United to win the match @ $1.95

BET NOW

Newcastle United ($1.95)

Brentford ($3.90)

Draw ($3.80)

It has been a tough couple weeks for Newcastle, who were well beaten by Liverpool last time out and this will be another tricky one for them at home to Brentford. Toon are chasing a top four finish this season, but inconsistency has blighted their campaign, and they have found results hard to come by. Meanwhile, Brentford should be buoyed from their excellent win over Aston Villa last time out, which should give them plenty of confidence in this one. This could be tight, but Newcastle should just about get the job done at home.

Brighton vs Crystal Palace @ AMEX Stadium

Betting Tip: Brighton to win the match @ $1.97

Brighton ($1.97)

Crystal Palace ($3.75)

Draw ($3.50)

One of the tastiest derbies in the Premier League is on the agenda here, as Brighton and Crystal Palace lock horns. The Seagulls cannot seem to buy a win at the moment, regardless of how they play in matches, and this feels like an important one for them. Crystal Palace meanwhile showed heart to pinch a point at Nottingham Forest last weekend and will be looking to unite between now and the end of the campaign. There should be no quarter given here and Brighton look well placed to come out on top.

Liverpool vs Manchester City @ Anfield

Betting Tip: Liverpool to win the match @ $2.37

BET NOW

Liverpool ($2.37)

Manchester City ($2.90)

Draw ($3.80)

Champions Liverpool will be looking to build on some improved recent showings, as they take on Manchester City at Anfield. A big win over Newcastle last weekend should be a huge confidence booster for the reds and they always tend to bring their A-game to home contests with City. Pep Guardiola’s visitors are still struggling with inconsistency and their inability to kill off games makes them vulnerable. This should be a good one, with Liverpool surely too strong at home.
