There are six games on the Premier League card this Saturday as Manchester City chase down Arsenal at the top and Liverpool attempt to loosen Tottenham’s grip on fourth place — here are our expert writers’ top selections for each of those fixtures.
Bournemouth vs Liverpool (Saturday, 12.30pm)
The Cherries’ dreadful results against the top teams suggests they will struggle to get anything from the game, although they are capable of at least giving Liverpool a fright — having netted against Manchester City and Tottenham at the Vitality Stadium this term.
Another victory for Jurgen Klopp’s men looks highly probable and it could be another high-scoring encounter with Bournemouth capable of netting against the top teams but unable to stem the flow at the other end.
Back Liverpool to win and over 2.5 goals, available at 1/1 with LiveScore Bet.
Everton vs Brentford (Saturday, 3pm)
With solidity the primary focus for the battling Toffees, another tense, tight encounter is likely.
A Brentford side who have drawn a whopping 64% of games against teams below them could be set for another stalemate against an Everton side who lack potent threat in the likely absence of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and will be reluctant to risk defeat by charging forward in search of victory.
Back the draw, available at 11/5 with LiveScore Bet.
Leeds vs Brighton (Saturday, 3pm)
The best bet is to back Brighton against a Leeds side who battled well in defeat to Chelsea last weekend but were unable to score, making it four defeats in five in all competitions, including a potentially costly loss to fellow strugglers Everton.
Back Brighton to win, available at 19/20 with LiveScore Bet.
Leicester vs Chelsea (Saturday, 3pm)
Chelsea’s victories over Leeds and Borussia Dortmund last week felt important for the club.
While they look revitalised, the Foxes’ belief will have been hit hard by last weekend’s defeat to lowly Southampton.
Brendan Rodgers’ men know they are being dragged back into a tense relegation scrap and could struggle under pressure.
Back Chelsea to win, available at even money with LiveScore Bet.
Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest (Saturday, 3pm)
Tottenham have endured a torrid couple of weeks but Antonio Conte could not have asked for a kinder fixture in which to alleviate the growing pressure.
Injury-ravaged Forest have such a poor away record — losing 4-0 at West Ham in their last road trip and conceding at least twice to each of the top seven — that Spurs could end their three-match goal drought in style.
Forest’s biggest problem on the road has been scoring goals and a misfiring frontline is unlikely to breach a Spurs defence that has kept four consecutive clean sheets on home soil, including against Manchester City, Chelsea and AC Milan.
Back Tottenham to win to nil, available at 21/20 with LiveScore Bet.
Crystal Palace vs Manchester City (Saturday 5.30pm)
Even the return to fitness of Wilfried Zaha could not spark a Palace revival at Villa last weekend — where their expected goals figure of just over 0.2 was their second-lowest of the campaign.
The lowest occurred at the Etihad Stadium in August when Palace lost 4-2 after being two goals up completely against the run of play.
That was one of 15 occasions this term that Pep Guardiola’s side have won by more than one goal — from 26 Premier League outings.
Back Manchester City -1 on the Spread (3 way) at 10/11 with LiveScore Bet.
