Premier League Matchday 29 Tips

With only four Premier League matches taking place this weekend, footy tipster Matt Le Tissier takes a look at FA Cup fixtures which sees Everton take on league-leaders Manchester City, West Ham host Arsenal, Leicester against Manchester United and his own side Southampton play away to Championship side Bournemouth.

Premier League Fixtures

Friday

Fulham v Leeds (20:00 Friday)

This is one of those games where any of the three results wouldn’t surprise me and I’m finding it really difficult to pick a winner. Fulham are probably in the better form currently but as we’ve seen all season, you never know what you’re going to get from Leeds. I wouldn’t expect Leeds to keep not picking up points but if I was having a bet on this match, it would probably be a small one on the draw.

Saturday

Brighton v Newcastle (20:00 Saturday)

This will be my NAP this week as I can’t see Brighton losing this. I’m not really too keen on Brighton odds-on at home but they’re a much better team than Newcastle at the moment.

Sunday

West Ham v Arsenal (15:00 Sunday)

The two games on Sunday, including this one, are again, tough to call. Taking a look at the odds, I may be tempted to back West Ham at just shy of 2/1. Those odds look more appealing to me than anything else in this game. However, I’m going to go for a Both Teams to Score double this week with this match and the late game on Sunday.

Aston Villa v Tottenham (19:30 Sunday)

I’m struggling to separate these two sides again and to pick a clear winner and so Both Teams to Score in this game will go in my double along with West Ham v Arsenal.

You can get odds of over 2/1 for all four teams on Sunday to find the net.

FA Cup Fixtures

Saturday

Bournemouth v Southampton (12:15 Saturday)

This isn’t a game I’m overly confident about. Southampton should have enough quality to win and Bournemouth do have a couple of injuries currently but what I do fancy is a draw after 90 minutes with the game being decided in extra time or penalties.

Everton v Man City (17:30 Saturday)

City always take these games seriously and with Everton’s form at home at the moment, winning just once in their last six in the league, I’d have to go with a Man City win here.

I’ll be putting City in a treble this week along with two other picks from FA Cup fixtures.

Sunday

Chelsea v Sheff Utd (15:30 Sunday)

Tuchel has been pretty impressive since joining Chelsea and I can’t see Sheff Utd causing any kind of upset on Sunday at Stamford Bridge. They’re quite short odds for the win but you could boost the odds a bit with Chelsea -1. I can’t see any other result than a home win here.

Leicester v Man Utd (17:00 Sunday)

I’m backing Man Utd here. Their away form this season has been super impressive and 7/5 seems like a good price. United will be the third part of my FA Cup treble along with Man City and Chelsea.
