WE’VE a whole host of betting tips coming your way for a Premier League schedule this weekend.
With Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs all in action, we’ve dug deep into the biggest games of the schedule and reckon we’ve found some value selections.
Bournemouth vs Man Utd – Saturday, 12.30pm
OLE is still at the wheel – but don’t let last week’s win over Norwich paper over the cracks.
Morale boosting as it was, the Canaries have proved a dream to play against over the past month (just ask Villa) and Daniel Farke’s side are decimated by injury.
That lack of squad depth was on show as United cruised to a 3-1 win at Carrow Road, scoring more than once for the first time since the opening day of the Premier League season.
With their run of four without a PL win now ended, Solskjaer will look to build on that road victory and a Carabao Cup triumph over Chelsea with three more points against the Cherries.
Bournemouth themselves are going through a bad run and have seemingly forgotten where the net is.
Two back-to-back 0-0 draws against Norwich and Watford will not have impressed Eddie Howe, but his team did rack up 26 shots in those two games.
They’re due to start firing again – and we reckon the both teams to score market in this one is overpriced at 8/13.
VAR dominated the headlines last weekend – and particularly around the penalty area.
United have been utterly hopeless from 12 yards this season, but at least Paul Pogba won’t be able to snatch the next one with the Frenchman ruled out until December.
If the visitors do win a penalty and miss it, they will equal the Premier League record for the most failed spot-kicks in an entire season with five. It’s November.
The Cherries haven’t won in four games and Howe will want his men to go out and prove a point in front of the Sky cameras.
They haven’t beaten United here since 2015, losing all three of their last meetings on this ground to the Red Devils.
We’re not confident enough in either team, which is why the 1-1 draw at 11/2 is so tempting.
That scoreline has come up three times in United’s last six away matches in the top-flight – get on.
SunSport’s best bets:
Both teams to score at Bournemouth: 8/13
Cherries to hold Utd to 1-1 draw: 11/2
United to miss a penalty and equal Prem record: 16/1
Arsenal vs Wolves – Saturday, 3pm
THE GUNNERS, the betting man’s Kryptonite.
We advised you against backing them last week in what looked – at least on paper – to be a comfortable home banker against Crystal Palace.
Two goals to the good within seven minutes, Arsenal conspired to throw away their lead before booing their own captain from the field, prompting him to tell some fans to ‘f*** off’.
All in the space of 45 minutes. Impressive.
Basically, you don’t touch any odds on Arsenal winning a game of football at the moment. Not if you actually value your hard-earned cash.
And why would you back them at home to an organised, strong and in-form Wolves side?
This is the same team that went to Manchester City a fortnight ago and won. They should not be 15/4 to beat this basket case of an Arsenal team.
Wolves have scored in every away game since their opening day 0-0 against Leicester – and as the weeks go by, that result looks better and better.
They’ve netted more than once at Torino, Man City and Everton.
Leave the result well alone and back goals here – for the away side.
You never know, Arsenal might click and crash in five in front of a suddenly adoring Emirates crowd.
But we like the 21/10 on Wolves to net two or more, which will give you back 31 for a tenner.
That’s a real acca booster – whilst the Gunners to throw away yet another 2-0 lead is 12/1.
And have a little play on Wolves to win after being behind.
We backed this last week in Liverpool vs Spurs, with Harry Kane’s early goal giving the Reds the chance to storm back and land the gamble.
That was priced at a generous 15/2, but this time around you can get Wolves to do the same at 18/1. That is worth a quid of anyone’s money with this Arsenal defence.
SunSport’s best bets:
Wolves to score two or more at the Emirates: 21/10
Arsenal to throw away another two-goal lead: 12/1
Wolves to win after going behind: 18/1
Watford vs Chelsea – Saturday, 5.30pm
IT’S all coming together for Big Frank.
Fans are starting to hail Chelsea’s transfer ban as the best thing to happen to the club since Roman Abramovich’s mega-money takeover.
They were positively purring as Christian Pulisic finally delivered on his potential and netted a hat-trick in the 4-2 rout over Burnley last weekend.
The only blot on the copy book was the two late goals conceded, but Lampard‘s side have now hit the net NINETEEN times in their last six games across all competitions.
Where better to head then than Vicarage Road to face a woefully under-performing Watford.
The Hornets are rock bottom and have just five goals from their ten Premier League games so far.
Despite that horror stat, they are unbeaten in their last three top-flight games here including a spirited fightback against Arsenal from 2-0 down.
Then again, as we’ve covered above, that’s not all that rare this season.
But they’re definitely fighting and three draws on the bounce have at least stopped the rot. For now.
Chelsea’s youngsters are playing with a pomp and arrogance which we’ve rarely seen at the Bridge since Lampard was pulling on Chelsea blue.
The last six H2H meetings between these two sides have featured three goals or more – and we see it going that way again.
Frank’s side do concede sloppy goals and we reckon Watford in front of their own fans and under the lights will net.
But there’s just no stopping them – and by the looks of it Pulisic – at the other end.
With firepower all over the pitch, back the Blues to take the three points back to West London with Watford on the score-sheet at a huge 2/1.
SunSport’s best bets:
Over 2.5 goals at Vicarage Road: 4/7
Chelsea to win and both teams to score: 2/1
Christian Pulisic to score at least twice: 12/1
Everton vs Spurs – Sunday, 4.30pm
TWO managers under immense pressure meet at Goodison.
Marco Silva‘s time at Everton continues to baffle, but it was VAR and the officials who bore the brunt of his wrath after the calamitous 3-2 defeat against Brighton.
Just when things were looking like they’d turned around with the 2-0 win over West Ham, it feels like the Toffees are back to square one.
Spurs are in Merseyside for the second time in a week after going down 2-1 to league leaders Liverpool at Anfield.
It was a spirited display from the men in white, with Kane back on the scoresheet and positives to take back to North London after a fairly rotten start to the season.
But the facts make grim reading for Spurs fans, especially on the road.
Five away games this term – two draws, three defeats, no wins.
If you think that is bad, well take this one in. They haven’t won a Premier League away game since JANUARY.
That’s criminal for a side who were in the biggest club game in the world last season and have ambitions of challenging for top spot.
Do we see that run ending here?
Well, history is on Spurs’ side if nothing else.
They haven’t lost at this ground since 2011, spanking nine goals in their last two visits.
If they want a team down on confidence and seemingly there for the taking, this is the Everton side to face.
Spurs found their mojo against Red Star in the Champions League and we see this barren run ending with a positive result at Goodison.
Back them to win here at 6/4, which is a big price for any of the Big Six in this league.
Kane sniffed out a goal at Anfield and we reckon he can bag again – the 11/2 on a brace shouldn’t be discounted either.
SunSport’s best bets:
Spurs to cure their travel sickness with a win: 6/4
Harry Kane to score a brace: 11/2
Marco Silva next manager to be sacked: 5/2
*All odds correct at time of publication.
