The title race is heating up in the Premier League, and we've got mouth-watering bouts to bring to you this weekend!
Manchester City vs Leicester City
The Citizens proved their superiority on the European scene with a 3-0 victory over Bayern in their mid-week bout. With a game in hand on Arsenal, the focus will be on closing down the 5-point gap. City has a 13-game unbeaten streak in all competitions and has scored a minimum of 3 goals in the last 5 consecutive games. Considering they are playing at the Etihad, it is difficult to see this fixture going any other way than Pep's.
Leicester has an abysmal run of form, losing 9 of their last 10 competitive fixtures. They are sitting 19th on the EPL table, although just 2 points separate them from 17th. They have failed to beat Man City in their last 3 consecutive meetings, with the last ending in a 6-3 defeat in the reverse fixture. Considering Citizens’ unstoppable form, we expect Manchester City to win, and over 3.5 goals. BET HERE
West Ham vs Arsenal
West Ham must continue escaping the drop-zone threat as they are only 3 points clear. They go into the game on the back of a European 1-1 draw, after a 1-0 victory over Fulham in the EPL. The Hammers have been unbeaten in 4 consecutive home games until last weekend's 5-1 thrashing against the Magpies. Nevertheless, they may give Arsenal some work to do, although unlikely to get the 3 points.
Arsenal slipped into a 2-2 draw against Liverpool, having taken a 2-0 lead. 3 points in the derby are essential for them as City has a game in hand. To their advantage, they've been confident on the road this season, having lost just 2 of their 15 away fixtures. 2 of their last 3 visits to the London Stadium ended in a win. With all focus on the EPL title, it's hard to see Arsenal slip, and we expect Arsenal to win and over 2.5 goals. BET HERE
Nottingham vs Manchester United
Nottingham has played 9 consecutive PL games without a victory and is now battling relegation, on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa. However, they have beaten Liverpool at home this season and held Manchester City to a 1-1 draw. Still, their current run of form is worrying, and the Devils are tough opponents if they are to turn it around.
The Devils let a 2-goal lead slip against Sevilla on Thursday night. They do have a 2-game winning streak in the Premier League and have already beaten Nottingham with a 5-0 aggregate in the Carabao Cup this season. In the EPL, Forest has failed to beat United in their last 7 encounters, and their last 3 games at City Ground ended with at least 3 goals to United. Therefore, we expect Manchester United to win and over 2.5 goals. BET HERE
