Premier League Matchday 25 brings us ten more games this weekend including the Merseyside Derby at Anfield and Arsenal v Man City at the Emirates.
WhichBookie football analyst Matt Le Tissier is back to share his thoughts and betting tips for all upcoming matches.
Leeds are so hit & miss, I don’t think I can back them at 11/5 here. I think at 11/8, I’d rather back Wolves. Their win against Southampton last week will have given them a lift and they’ve beaten Arsenal as well and drew with Leicester, so they’re starting to pick up.

I’m going into this game more in hope than in anticipation as I’m not particularly confident at the moment with Southampton. From a betting point of view, I think the stand-out bet considering how well Chelsea have done defensively under Tuchel is Chelsea to win to nil.

I’ll be going for a home win here. Burnley have picked up a bit and West Brom have only gotten a point against Man Utd and I don’t see too much in a way of a revival coming from them. I think Burnley will be just a little too strong for them at home.
Burnley will be part of my double this week with Leicester.

Everton are a big price at 13/2 given the form Liverpool are in. They had a good win midweek against Leipzig but they were pretty poor against Leicester. Despite going one up in that game, Leicester always looked in the game and they just fell apart a bit.
Everton Double Chance (to win or draw) is priced at 9/5 with SpreadEx which would be my play in this game.

Fulham look to have turned a bit of a corner and deservedly picked up the points against Everton with a couple of Josh Maja goals who looks like he will make a difference for them. They also picked up a point away to Burnley and so it’s been a good week for them.
Given their upturn in form and the confidence levels of Fulham, I think they’ll be able to take on a Sheff Utd team who have lost their last two with West Ham putting them away fairly comfortably in their last game.
Fulham to beat Sheff Utd will be my NAP this week.

West Ham are the team in the better form here with only one defeat in their last ten and Spurs have lost four of their last five. I would say, at the odds currently available, I would tip towards backing West Ham at 17/10.

I fancy Leicester in this one. On the back of their really good win against Liverpool, I think that they can go and get all three points at Villa Park. They’re just favourites here but I think the odds are good enough to warrant backing them. I’ll be putting them in a double this week along with Burnley to beat West Brom.

I think Arsenal are way overpriced here at 11/2 and so I would have a small punt on them. Man City are in amazing form at the minute but at 1/2, there isn’t much of a bet there. It’s not a great betting game for me but I think 11/2 is a good price for Arsenal who have players who can win games.
| Arsenal v Man City | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Arsenal | 11/2 |  | Visit |
Man Utd to win to nil is probably what I’d go for here which you can get just over evens for with SpreadEx. I can see a quite comfortable 2-0 or 3-0 win for United. However, not a great game for betting.

9/2 for a Palace win here are big odds. Brighton don’t win many home games (just 1 this season) and I think the odds on Palace are way too generous. They’re in pretty poor form at the minute but they’re up against a Brighton team who don’t tend to win games so I think the value is in an away win.
