There are two English Premier League matches taking place on Sunday and we take a look at them from a betting angle.
Let’s start with a look at the Outright Betting where heading into the weekend, Manchester City have now shortened back to 4/7 favourites after their victory against Arsenal in midweek. Arsenal are now out to 18/10 with Manchester United 17/1 and 150/1 and better the balance.

Manchester United v Leicester City – click here to bet
Manchester United are currently 3rd on the table, 5 points behind leaders, Manchester City and having played the same amount of games. They have only lost 1 out of their last 10 matches and last time out beat Leeds 2-0 on the road. Their last home game though was a few days before a 2-2 draw with Leeds. Overall at home this season Manchester United have won 8, drawn 2 and lost just once.
Matches at Old Trafford averaged 2.6 goals each and 8 of the 11 games have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers.
Leicester are 13th on the log and are undefeated in their last 3. They have had 2 convincing victories in their last 2 starts, 4-1 over Tottenham at home and 4-2 against Aston Villa on the road. Leicester’s last 3 games have all been 4 goals or more scored.
Manchester United are priced at 6/10 favourites, but I give Leicester (9/2) a chance of upsetting them. My focus though will be on the goals market and I am hoping the recent high scoring Leicester will continue.
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 29/20

Tottenham v West Ham – Click here to bet
Tottenham are 5th on the log and have lost 3 and won 2 of their last 5 matches. They were hammered 4-1 on the road by Leicester last time out, but their last home game was a 1-0 victory over Manchester City. Overall at home this season Tottenham have won 7 and lost 4 of 11 matches.
Tottenham home games have averaged 3.4 goals each with 6 of the 11 reaching the 3 goal mark although it should be noted that their last 3 matches have all been under 2.5 goals.
West Ham are currently 16th on the log with 1 win, 1 loss and 3 draws in their last 5. They are coming off back-to-back 1-1 draws away at Chelsea and at home to Newcastle and overall at home this season they have only won once in 11 starts.
Looking at West Ham goal stats on the road their away matches average 1.9 goals per game, the lowest in the Division with only 3 of the 11 matches reaching the 3 goal mark.
Tottenham look a bit short for me here at 17/20 and I am going to go with both teams to score, yes, a bet which would have arrived in 4 of the last 5 head-to-head League matches between the two teams.
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 15/20
