With just 10 games remaining in the Premier League season, it’s easy to write off the title race. However, there’s plenty more going on across the league in the final few months, and we have some huge games in prospect across three days this weekend. With the Champions League, Europa League and relegation spots all wide open, we’re expecting plenty of excitement across the 10 matches this weekend. The Premier League has seen a lot of high scoring games this term, with an average of 2.7 goals per game to date. Will we see that continue into this weekend’s round of fixtures?
The highlight of this week’s fixtures is Man City against Chelsea, which should be an entertaining affair. City’s league games are way above average this season, seeing 4.29 goals per match. That scoring form is likely to continue as they host the champions. Of course, that’s just one of the matches you should keep an eye on, with a few high scoring clashes in prospect. Ahead of this weekend’s games, we’ve picked out a few both teams to score tips, which you can see below.
Saturday 3rd March 2018
- Burnley v Everton (11/10 with Coral) – Burnley have hit an awful run, which has seen them concede in seven games on the spin. Everton can take advantage of that this weekend, but the Toffees have conceded in 86% of their away trips, so we’re backing BTTS in this one.
- Leicester v Bournemouth (4/6 with Ladbrokes) – With Bournemouth scoring in nine straight league games, and Leicester winning one of their last six, we’re backing the visitors to score at the King Power. With the Foxes finding the net in 86% of their home games both teams to score looks good here.
- Swansea v West Ham (10/11 with Betfair) – The Swans shipped four to low-scoring Brighton last weekend, but they have won their last three at home. West Ham have conceded over two per game away, so we’re backing both teams to score.
- Liverpool v Newcastle (10/11 with Coral) – Newcastle have scored in seven straight games, as they face a Liverpool side without a clean sheet in their last four at home. Rafa Benitez has seen his men score at the Etihad, Old Trafford and in two trips to Stamford Bridge this term, so we are backing them to score against free-flowing Liverpool.
Sunday 4th March 2018
- Brighton v Arsenal (8/11 with Betfred) – Arsenal’s awful away record comes up against a Seagulls side who won 4-1 in their last home game. The Gunners have conceded in 79% of their away trips, while they’ve scored in four of their last five away games in the top flight.
- Man City v Chelsea (8/13 with BetVictor) – Man City have scored in every home game this term, hitting at least two in their previous 13. With Chelsea averaging 1.86 goals per game on the road – scoring in their previous four league trips – we’re backing goals in this high profile game.
