After a brief hiatus due to the international break, fans can look forwards to getting stuck back into the rough and tumble of the Premier League this weekend and there are some good games to look forward to.
The pick of the action however may well come in the opening match of the weekend where Manchester United play host to Arsenal at Old Trafford.
Saturday 19th November 2016
- Manchester United v Arsenal (3/4 with Bet365) – These two sides have a history of producing high quality matches with a little edge and it should be an entertaining clash at Old Trafford. The visitors have been scoring plenty of late but questions still hang over their defence.
- Crystal Palace v Manchester City (8/11 with Betfred) – Manchester City have conceded in their last five league matches and we can’t see them keeping a clean sheet in this match, with Palace putting in some decent performances at home this season. As the games begin to come thick and fast, it will be interesting to see how Pep Guardiola copes over the coming weeks.
- Southampton v Liverpool (4/6 with Bet365) – Liverpool have been great to watch this season thanks to their attacking style of play and they have racked up some big scores this term. However, as their last match against Watford shows, they can score for fun but they are always liable to offer up chances at the back. Both teams to score looks a good bet at St Mary’s.
- Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham (4/5 with Bet365) – These two have been stuttering a bit lately but the sense of occasion around the game should at least drag some big performances from players who have been a little short of their best this term. It is certainly a big game and another fixture with a history of producing high scoring contests.
- Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid (7/10 with Bet365) – Games between these two are always feisty affairs and this one will be no different as Diego Simeone’s side look to continue their impressive record over the visitors. With so many quality attackers on the pitch, both sides to score looks like a formality and the keepers will certainly be in for a busy night.
Sunday 20th November 2016
- Leeds United v Newcastle United (5/6 with Betfred) – Newcastle are going to take some stopping this season and they look as though can score at will. However, they will be up against it in this clash as they prepare to face an in form Leeds United side in front of a packed Elland Road.
- Middlesbrough v Chelsea (evens with Betfair) – Boro are fairly low down in the table but having secured score draws away at Manchester City and Arsenal this season they will be right up for this match against Chelsea. We can’t see the home side keeping a clean sheet against a rampant Blues but Aitor Karanka’s side could trouble the visitors.
