Spread betting tips this weekend: Our picks

Total goals: West Ham and Everton to disappoint?

West Ham vs Everton feels like a huge game for both managers, particularly with an international break looming. These breaks are often seen as an optimal time to switch managers and as this is the final break until March, both clubs will be seriously considering the positions of Julen Lopetegui and David Moyes.

As a result, this should be an extremely cagey affair between two coaches who will be doing everything not to los the match and two sets of players devoid of confidence. West Ham are averaging just one goal per match over their last three outings while Everton are only averaging one goal per match across their last six.

Corners squared: Liverpool and Villa to target set pieces?

Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool were famed for getting crosses into the box from wide areas and for scoring plenty of goals from corners. While Arne Slot's preferred style of play involves far less crosses, there is still a hangover from the Klopp days, and it's one that insn't harming the club whatsoever.

In their last Premier League match against Brighton, the Reds accumulated nine corners throughout the match, three more than their season average of six. Aston Villa, meanwhile, have taken 24 corners across their last three PL outings.

To cover the buy price, the two teams must combine for 12 corners.

Winning margin: Brighton to continue the Man City pile on?

Man City are currently in the midst of their worst run of form under Pep Guardiola since the Spaniard's first season in charge. They have lost their last three matches in all competitions so a trip to the Amex Stadium to face a Brighton side that deserved to win at Anfield last weekend is something they could do without.

Backing the sell price of 0.7 effectively means you are backing Brighton to either draw or win the match. The Seagulls are yet to taste defeat on home soil this season which makes this a good bet, particularly when you consider City's injury woes.

First Man Utd goal: Barren Reds to start slow?

We are now in November and incredibly, only Southampton have scored fewer Premier League goals than Man Utd. While performances have been marginally better under Ruud van Nistelrooy, United still look indecisive in the final third and are notorious slow starters.

The Red Devils have failed to score before the 34th minute in five of their last seven matches in all competitions and six of their last seven in the Premier League. Leicester will doubly determined to keep them out on Sunday after shipping five to them in the Carabao Cup ten days ago.

Bookings: A London Derby with plenty of fire

The headline match of the weekend sees Arsenal travel to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea. The match is huge, particularly for Arsenal, as anything other than a win on Sunday would see their hopes of winning the title effectively end.

Given Arsenal's disciplinary issues this season, backing them to cover 62 booking points in a London derby feels like a no-brainer. Last weekend, they picked up four bookings in their defeat to Newcastle while Chelsea picked up seven bookings in their last league match at Stamford Bridge.
