There are 4 English Premier League matches taking place on Wednesday and we suggest a bet in each of them including the huge top of the table clash between Manchester City and Arsenal.

Nottingham v Brighton – Click here to bet
Nottingham have slumped to second from bottom of the table and they have only picked up 3 points (or via draws) in their last 11 games. They have lost their last 4 matches on the trot and went down 3-2 away to Liverpool last time out.
Brighton are 8th on the log and have won 3 of their last 5 matches including beating Chelsea 2-1 on the road last time out. They will have to shrug off the disappointment of a Semi-Final FA Cup exit at the hands of Manchester United on the weekend.
These sides played out to a goalless draw earlier this season and with Forest desperate for points and Brighton perhaps on a bit of a downer I think we may get another low scoring encounter here.
Suggested Bet: Under 2.5 goals at 11/10

Chelsea v Brentford – Click here to bet
Both of these teams are really struggling and 11th placed Chelsea have only taken 2 points from their last 5 matches, the same return as Brentford over the same period.
Chelsea are coming off a 2-1 home defeat to Brighton and Brentford’s last action was a 1-1 home draw with Aston Villa.
Chelsea’s home games have only averaged 1.9 goals this season with 6 of the 16 matches delivering profits for over 2.5 goal backers. Brentford’s away games have seen 7 of their 16 matches reach the 3 goal mark.
This is a tough game to all, but I am going to side with a Chelsea win here as their last 2 home defeats have been against in form sides and Brentford are anything but in form.
Suggested Bet: Chelsea win at 8/11
West Ham v Liverpool – Click here to bet
West Ham are 13th on the log with just 1 defeat in their last 6 matches. They beat Bournemouth 4-0 on the road last time out and their last home game was a 2-2 draw with Arsenal.
Liverpool are 7th on the table and unbeaten in their last 4 starts and are coming off back-to-back victories, 3-2 at home to Nottingham and 6-1 on the road to Leeds.
3 out of the last 4 West Ham games have had 4 goals or more in them and 4 of the last 5 Liverpool League games have reached the 4 goal mark at the very least. I am backing the high scoring trend to continue.
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 16/10
Manchester City v Arsenal – Click here to bet
This is a massive clash between the top 2 on the table and it does feel a bit strange that we are having it in midweek.
City are currently 5 points behind Arsenal, but with two games in hand and they have shortened to 2/9 to win the title. City have won their last 6 matches in a row including a 3-1 home win over Leicester last time out. City have only lost once at home all season and in their 15 home games there has been an average of 4.3 goals with 13 of the matches delivering profits for over 2.5 goal backers.
Arsenal are undefeated in their last 10 matches, but they are wobbling badly after 3 successive draws, all of which have been high scoring. They came from behind to draw 3-3 with Southampton at home last time out and previously squandered a 2 goals lead away to West Ham and Liverpool.
They do have the best away record in the League with only 2 defeats and 50% of their away games have reached the 3 goal mark.
To say that City have dominated this fixture in the past would be an understatement and they have won their last 11 matches against Arsenal including beating the Gunners away 3-1 earlier in the season.
City will see this as a chance to virtually put the Title race to bed and I am expecting them to do just that and will back them to win by more than 1 goal.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Manchester City -1.5 at 14/10
