Manchester United v West Ham – Click here to bet
Manchester United are currently 7th on the table and they picked up a much needed 3 points beating Wolves 4-3 in a thriller on Thursday night.
Their last home game was a 2-2 draw with Tottenham and over 3.5 goal backers would have collected profits in 3 of the last 4 Manchester United games and both teams have found the back of the net in all 4 of those matches. Manchester United have won 6 and drawn 1 of their 11 home games, but somewhat surprisingly have a -3 goal difference at Old Trafford.
West Ham are 6th on the log and were undefeated in their last 5 starts. Their last 3 matches have all been draws, most recently 1-1 at home to Bournemouth. They have only lost 1 of their last 5 away matches.
West Ham beat Manchester United 2-0 in the reverse fixture earlier this season and Manchester United have won this fixture 1-0 the last 3 seasons.
Manchester United are 7/10 to win the match, but I am going to turn to the goal markets here and although recent Manchester United games have seen goals flowing, the fact that the last 5 head-to-heads have failed to reach the 3 goal mark means I am going to take a stab under 2.5 goals.
Suggested Bet: Under 2.5 goals at 27/20

Chelsea v Wolves – Click here to bet
Chelsea are sitting 10th on the table and is looking to bounce back from a 4-1 loss to Liverpool. The Blues have not lost at home for 5 games in a row, with 4 wins and 1 draw against Manchester City.
Wolves are 11th on the log and saw a 4 match unbeaten run ended when they lost 4-3 at home to Manchester United on Thursday night. Their last 2 away games were a goalless draw at Brighton and a 4-1 win over Brentford.
Wolves managed to win the return fixture earlier this season 2-1, however, they have not beaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the last 10 years. Chelsea are favourites to win at 8/13 with Wolves trading at 9/2.
I am going to put a line through Chelsea’s defeat to Liverpool and will back them to win this game by exactly 1 goal.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Chelsea -1, the draw at 28/10
Arsenal v Liverpool – Click here to bet
Arsenal is sitting 3rd on the table, 5 points behind Liverpool and they will look to close that gap. Out of their last 5 fixtures, they have won 2, lost 2, and drawn 1. They have only lost 1 game at home this season, a 2-0 loss against West Ham.
Top of the table Liverpool are coming off an impressive 4-1 win against Chelsea at home and will carry that momentum into Sunday’s fixture. They have only lost 1 match this season, 15 games ago against Tottenham away from home. In those 15 matches, they have won 10 and drawn 5. They have managed to score one or more goals on 14 of the 15 occasions.
Out of the last 5 times the teams have faced each other, 2 matches ended in a draw, Arsenal won 1 match, and Liverpool won the other 2. The most recent result was a 2-0 win for Liverpool at the Etihad in the FA Cup.
Arsenal are favourites to win at 13/10 with Liverpool trading at 2/1 and a draw at 27/10.
Liverpool look the real deal for me this season and I am backing them for a valuable 3 points on the road.
Suggested Bet: Liverpool win at 2/1.
