Spread betting tips: Five Premier League matches to target this weekend

Another weekend of Premier League action is upon us and the spread betting ma

rkets are all set and ready to go. As ever, there is incredible value and big wins to be had by targeting these markets but they can also be volatile so be vigilant and only bet what you can afford to lose.

We've picked out five spread betting tips for five of Saturday's Premier League fixtures. Check them out below.

Our spread betting tips

Total Booking Points: London derby to get feisty

London derbies seem to take place most weeks in the Premier League these days, but there is a genuine dislike between West Ham and Chelsea, which should make this one of the better ones. Derbies typically produce stronger challenges, and therefore more cards, but these two teams hardly need an excuse for that.

West Ham have picked up exactly three bookings in each of their last three matches while Chelsea picked up eight in one match against Bournemouth last week. Even if that number is cut in half this week, the average booking points between these two teams sit at around 70. That makes the buy price of 51 very appealing and one of our top spread betting tips this week.

Total Goals: Wolves to take advantage of tired Villains

All summer, football pundits have been keen to tell us how Aston Villa are going to struggle this season as they aren't used to juggling Champions League football with their domestic commitments. Well, it's now time to test that theory as they face struggling Wolves at Villa Park.

Four of the five matches that the Villains have played this season have produced three or more goals, with Unai Emery's men scoring three goals themselves in each of their last two outings. Wolves have also been involved in some high-scoring matches, including a 3-2 defeat at Brighton in the Carabao Cup earlier this week. The buy price of 3.3 makes the most sense here.

Winning margin: History to repeat itself at Anfield

Liverpool were sluggish at best against Nottingham Forest last weekend and deserved to lose after a pitiful second-half display. They have bounced back well from that loss to win in Milan in the Champions League but that trip will have left them with some tired legs ahead of another Saturday 3pm kick-off.

The Reds are facing a team in Bournemouth who haven't played all week and who haven't lost by a margin of more than one goal all season. Liverpool, meanwhile, have won several games by a margin of two goals but they have only scored twice at Anfield so far and look more comfortable on the road.

Corners squared: End-to-end match expected in North London

Tottenham are one of the best teams at winning corners this season and average just over 10 corners per match in the Premier League. They like to get crosses in the box, particularly as they are now playing up to a target man in Dominic Solanke so we expect this trend to continue.

If Tottenham play to their average then Brentford will only need to win three corners on Saturday for the buy price 162 to turn a profit. The Bees managed to hit that target at the Etihad last weekend and eclipsed it at Anfield three weeks earlier so it shouldn't be too much of an ask for them to do it again this weekend.

First Man Utd goal: Reds to leave it late

Man Utd have looked better since Andre Onana saved Cameron Archer's penalty in the first half at the St Mary's Stadium last week, going on to win that match 3-0 before putting seven goals past Barnsley in the Carabao Cup.

Considering the opposition, there is no reason for anyone at the club to get ahead of themselves. Matthijs de Ligt's opener last weekend was the first time they'd scored in the first half of the season. Selhurst Park is a tricky place to go, and if Man Utd are to score at all, it is more likely to come in the second half when matches typically become more stretched.
