The Premier League is not messing about this weekend after the international break. The top flight gets back underway with one of its biggest fixtures, Man United v Arsenal. There are more big games to follow through to Monday night so there’s plenty of action to capitalise on from a betting perspective. That’s why we’ve put together three accumulators of increasing odds to give you a choice for your weekend punting.
Easy Winner – 7/5 (BetVictor)
- Over 1.5 goals in Southampton v Liverpool (1/4) – Southampton’s defensive solidity has been lacking over the past couple of weeks. That is not good news against a team who score as many goals as this Liverpool side.
- Under 3.5 goals in Sunderland v Hull (1/4) – This could be the most important game of the weekend. Both Sunderland and Hull are struggling to tread water in the Premier League. Their respective lack of creativity is sure to result in a low scoring, tight affair at the Stadium of Light.
- Man City to beat Crystal Palace (8/15) – Crystal Palace are in real danger of being dragged into the relegation battle. Their poor recent form is sure to continue when they host a Man City team still on a high from beating Barcelona.
Medium Risk – 15/2 (Sky Bet)
- Man United and Arsenal to draw (23/10) – There’s certainly a lot on the line at Old Trafford early on Saturday afternoon. Both teams will head into the game believing they’ve got what it takes to win but a combination of injuries and the enormity of the occasion could result in a draw being played out.
- Draw/Bournemouth double chance against Stoke (8/13) – Stoke have managed to improve their position in the league table of late but it’s a stretch to claim that they are playing well. With Bournemouth looking more and more like a mid-table Premier League team, they’ll be less worried by this sort of fixture and can leave Staffordshire with at least a point.
- Over 2.5 goals in Crystal Palace v Man City (8/13) – One of the few weaknesses of this Man City side is their inability to keep clean sheets. Crystal Palace look short of the quality to get a result against City but they can at least score. As for City, they are full of goalscorers so expect goals aplenty.
Long Shot – 111/1 (Bet365)
- 1-1 correct score in Man United v Arsenal (11/2) – The weekend’s first game looks to be too close to call. It’s set to be tight and nervy so the 1-1 correct score is a solid option.
- Tottenham to beat West Ham and under 2.5 goals (3/1) – West Ham have tightened things up at the back after their appalling start to the season while Spurs look short of goals. Spurs are the firm favourites and should win but it’s unlikely to be a rout.
- Burnley to beat West Brom (10/3) – Monday’s game is not one for the faint hearted. It’ll be a real battle at the Hawthorns. West Brom are the favourites but this could be exactly the sort of game on which Burnley thrive. The Clarets can certainly claim their first away win here.
