With the festive football season in full swing, the Premier League has been cranked into overdrive and after Saturday’s slate of fixtures is complete, there is another quartet of tantalising top-flight tussles to tuck into on Sunday.

The action kicks-off at 12:00 when Marcelo Bielsa’s thrilling Leeds outfit host Sean Dyche’s dogged Burnley at Elland Road, before West Ham and Brighton lock horns a little later in game two at 14:15.

Champions and favourites to retain their crown Liverpool, host Sam Allardyce and West Brom at Anfield at 16:30, before Wolves and Tottenham go head-to-head at Molineux in the day’s climactic contest at 19:15.

While many of our football tips focus on match results and goals, we’re not ones to look the other way when we spot some value and you can find a lot of it in the cards and corners markets. They require a little extra leg work, but as always, we’re here to do the heavy lifting for you.

Ahead of the Sunday’s Premier League fixtures, we’ve dived head first into the numbers once again to bring you the very best cards and corners betting tips and predictions this week, which we’ve combined into a tasty looking 18/1 accumulator!

Best value single: Conor Gallagher to get booked @9/4

West Brom will expect to be run ragged at Anfield by champions Liverpool on Sunday, though their manager Big Sam – a fan of aggressive, combative football – will want his players to throw their weight around in an attempt to disrupt their host’s flow on Merseyside.

In what promises to be an intensely contested midfield battleground, Baggies youngster Conor Gallagher looks a prime candidate to see some action. With four cautions already this term, the 20-year-old is already Albion’s most carded Premier League player and with usual enforcer Jake Livermore out suspended, Gallagher will have even more work to get though.
