Leicester City vs Liverpool
Title holders Liverpool were dismantled by champions elect Manchester City at Anfield last time out, however, the Reds can bounce back in style with a victory at high-flying Leicester City.
Liverpool were comfortable winners in each of their last two meetings with the Foxes, rattling home seven goals without reply past Kasper Schmeichel in the process. With key defenders absent for the visitors, City can notch a consolation effort this time however.
Betting tip: Liverpool and both teams to score
Crystal Palace vs Burnley
Unsurprisingly, games between goal-shy Crystal Palace and Burnley have rarely produced fireworks in recent seasons, and under 2.5 goals backers were rewarded in seven of the last eight encounters between the clubs since 2016.
The Clarets won each of their last two skirmishes with Palace by the slimmest of margins, and those successive 1-0 victories suggest that a single goal might be enough to separate the teams again on Saturday.
Betting tip: Under 1.5 goals
Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur
Manchester City look a cut above the rest in the Premier League and the Citizens are already threatening to gallop away with the title following a superb 10-game winning surge.
Remarkably, eight of those City victories were accompanied by clean sheets, and Pep Guardiola’s robust side can claim another against a Spurs team that are certain to play with the shackles on at the Etihad Stadium.
Betting tip: Manchester City win to nil
Brighton vs Aston Villa
Unbeaten in five assignments, Brighton are finally starting to pick up the results to match their excellent performances, and the confident Seagulls should provide a stiff test for Dean Smith’s impressive Villa team at the AMEX Stadium.
Both teams have scored in each of the last four meetings between Brighton and Aston Villa, and the same market appeals for their latest clash on Saturday.
Betting tip: Both teams to score
