TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR v BOURNEMOUTH – Click here to bet
Tottenham are currently 13th on the log and they have won 3 and lost 2 of their last 5 matches. Their last game was at home to Manchester City and they went down 1-0 and their recent home form hasn’t been great with 3 losses and a win in their last 4.
Bournemouth are having a great season and currently sit 7th on the log, a full 10 points ahead of Tottenham. They have hit a wobble though and have lost 3 of their last 4 including their last 2 games, 2-1 away at Brighton and 1-0 at home to Wolves.
Betting and Verdict
10 of the 14 Tottenham home matches have delivered for over 2.5 goal backers and 11 of the 14 Bournemouth away games have reached at least the 3-goal mark.
Tottenham are 2.60 for the win with the draw 3.90 and Bournemouth priced at 2.50 marginal favourites.
The last 2 head-to-heads at Tottenham have seen 4 goals or more scored and over 3.5 goals is trading at 2.00.
I am a bit surprised to be getting 2.60 about Tottenham, who were on a 3-match winning streak before that loss to City.
BET: Tottenham win at 2.60

MANCHESTER UNITED v ARSENAL – Click here to bet
The match of the weekend takes place right at the end although we do have Monday night’s football to look forward to and will be previewing that match.
Manchester United are 14th on the table and they broke a 3-match run without a victory when they beat Ipswich 3-2 at home last time out. Overall at home this season they have won 6, drawn 1 and lost 7 games.
Arsenal are 2nd on the log, but they have lost momentum in recent weeks, drawing away to Nottingham and losing 1-0 at home to West Ham. They were in rampant form in midweek though, travelling to PSV and winning 7-1 and while they started favourites with the bookies at 1.95, few would have been expecting that result.
Head-to-Head
These sides last met in the FA Cup in January when Manchester United won 2-1 at Arsenal, but Arsenal have won the last 4 meetings between the sides in the League.
Betting and Verdict
Manchester United are rank outsiders here at 5.00 with the draw 3.60 and Arsenal 1.75.
A tight game is expected and bookmakers have priced over 2.5 goals at 2.20 and these sides have thrown up some high scoring fixtures over the years.
Manchester United have had a very inconsistent season, but they do tend to do their best work when playing the top teams and given Arsenal’s current struggles I think the home win is the value play here.
BET: Man United win at 5.00
