Arsenal v Brighton – Click here to bet
Arsenal are currently 2nd on the log, 1 point behind leaders, Liverpool. They travelled to Aston Villa in their last start and lost 1-0 and that broke a 4 match winning run.
Brighton are currently 8th on the log. While they have only won 2 of their last 10 matches those 2 wins have come in their last 4 starts. They drew 1-1 at Burnley last time out and incredibly both teams have found the back of the net in all 16 of Brighton’s matches. You just can’t ignore that stat and I am going to be backing the run to continue at 15/20.
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 15/20

Brentford v Aston Villa – Click here to bet
Brentford are currently 11th on the log and they have lost 4 and won 1 of their last 5 matches. they went down 1-0 on the road to Sheffield United last time out, a game where they started 15/20 favourites and their last home game was a 3-1 win over Luton and they have won 3 of their last 4 home matches.
Aston Villa are currently 3rd on the table and they have only lost once in their last 10 matches. They beat Arsenal 1-0 at home last time out and on the road this season they have played 8 games, winning 3 and drawing 2.
The bulk of Aston Villa’s successes come at home, but I believe that they can pick up 3 valuable points here.
Suggested Bet: Aston Villa win at 23/20
West Ham v Wolves – Click here to bet
West Ham are currently 9th on the log, but they saw their 4 match unbeaten streak ended when they went down 5-0 at Fulham last time out. They have taken 11 points from a possible 21 at home this season.
Wolves are 13th on the log and their last game was a 1-1 draw at home to Nottingham Forest. They have lost their last 3 away games on the trot.
I am going to look to the head-to-head record for a betting inspiration here and the last 4 matches between these sides have failed to reach the 3 goal mark.
Suggested Bet: Under 2.5 goals at 10/11
Liverpool v Manchester United – Click here to bet
This is the game of the weekend and sees leaders, Liverpool taking on 6th place Manchester United.
Liverpool are undefeated in their last 9 games winning the last 3 in a row including a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace last time out. At home this season Liverpool have a 100% record after 7 matches.
Manchester United have lost 2 of their last 3 games and they were stunned 3-0 at home by Bournemouth last time out. Their last away game was a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle and overall on the road this season United have won 4 and lost 3. That Newcastle’s defeat broke a 4 match winning run of the road.
Liverpool won this fixture 7-0 last season and 4-0 the season before that. And I am going to back them to win by more than a goal here.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Liverpool -1.5 goals at 8/10
