Newcastle v Arsenal – Click here to bet
Newcastle are 3rd on the log 13 points behind Arsenal and with a game in hand. They beat Southampton 3-1 at home last time out, their 8th win in their last 9 starts. Goals have been flowing in Newcastle games and over 2.5 goal backers would have collected profits in their last 6 matches, 4 of which have had 4 goals or more in them. Newcastle have won 10, drawn 5 and lost just 1 of their 16 home matches this season and they have won their last 4 home games in a row.
Arsenal are 1 point behind Manchester City heading into the weekend, but City have played a game less. They broke a 4 match run without a victory when they beat Chelsea 3-1 at home last time out and their last away game was that 4-1 defeat to Manchester City.
Goals have been flowing in Newcastle games and they have been pouring in, in Arsenal matches and their last 10 matches have all delivered profits for over 2.5 goal bakers and both teams have scored in their last 7 games, all of which have had at least 4 goals in them.
These sides played out to a goalless draw at Arsenal earlier in the season and last season Newcastle won this fixture 2-0, but I can’t see another low scoring affair and I am betting that we get 4 goals or more in this one.
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 14/10

West Ham v Manchester United – Click here to bet
West Ham are currently 15th on the log and they suffered 3 successive defeats, most recently going down 3-0 away to Manchester City. They put up a good fight in the first-half of that game, but in their previous match were beaten 4-3 by Crystal Palace. Their last home game was a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool and overall at home this season West Ham have won 6 and drawn 4 of their 17 matches. They have only taken 1 point from the last 9 they have played for at home.
Manchester United are 4th on the log and saw a 5 match unbeaten run ended on Thursday night when they went down 1-0 at Brighton. Their previous match was a 1-0 home victory over Aston Villa, but it is their recent away form which is of concern as they have only won once in their last 5 road trips.
Manchester United beat West Ham 1-0 at home in the early stages of the season and United won this fixture 2-1 last season.
Manchester United have won the last 4 head-to-heads in the league by exactly 1 goal and I am backing them to get a scrappy victory by exactly that margin in this one.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Manchester United -1, the draw at 16/5
