Spread betting tips this weekend: Our picks

Total goal minutes: An explosive second half is on the cards at the King Power

This weekend's action will begin at the King Power Stadium for Leicester vs Chelsea and the return of Enzo Maresca. The Italian led the Foxes to promotion last season but as the opposition manager on Saturday, he will be expecting a frosty reception.

A key theme of his new Chelsea team has been their tendency to perform better in the second half of matches which lends itself to the buy price on the total goal minutes market. Five of the last six goals scored by Chelsea in the Premier League have been scored after half-time.

Meanwhile, Leicester have conceded four second-half goals in their last three Premier League matches so they are perhaps a team that gets tired after the break. This is something that Chelsea are more than capable of exploiting and racking up the goal minutes tally in the process.

Total goals: Arsenal to hit top gear?

Arsenal don't have any choice but to go on a winning streak if they are to have any hope of winning the Premier League season with the current nine-point gap already looking ominous. Mikel Arteta will need more goals from his team and the return of Martin Odegaard will certainly help with that.

The Gunners have scored two or more goals in seven of the last ten matches that the Norweigan has started and have scored nine goals in their last four matches against Nottingham Forest.

If they play to these averages, then Nottingham Forest, who have scored in 11 of their 12 matches so far this season, will just need to score once for the buy price of 3 on total goals to start bringing in profit.

Winning margin: Will there be a new contract bounce?

We've heard all about the new manager bounce but will there be a ‘new contract bounce' for Pep Guardiola on Saturday Night when Man City face Tottenham? Perhaps not if his side's recent record against Spurs is anything to go by.

The North London club have managed to avoid defeat by two goals or more against Man City in four of their last five encounters and were particularly brilliant on their most recent visit to the Etihad Stadium last season when they were well worth their 3-3 draw.

Another draw on Saturday would comfortably beat the sell price of 1.3 on the winning margin.

Shirt numbers: Liverpool to cruise again?

Gone are the days of Liverpool blowing teams away and scoring bags full of goals each week. In the place of Klopp's heavy metal football is Arne Slot's methodical and calming piano music and to his credit, its bringing Liverpool more security at the back and perhaps more importantly, more wins.

Liverpool haven't scored more than two goals in the Premier League in any of their last six games and even if they do break that streak on Saturday, the players likely to score don't have huge numbers on the back of their shirts.

Mo Salah, their top goalscorer, wears the number 11 while Luis Diaz, their second-highest scorer, wears the number seven. There is also no chance of #66, Trent Alexander-Arnold, messing things up this weekend with a free-kick as the full-back is still out injured.

First Man Utd goal: Reds to start quick under Amorim

This final tip goes against everything that has gone before this season with Man Utd but that's because they have a brand new manager in place and he is someone who likes his teams to start quickly. Ahead of Ipswich vs Man Utd this weekend, we believe backing Man Utd to score early could be very fruitful.

In Amorim's final five league matches as Sporting Lisbon boss, his team scored five goals before the 39th minute, showing off the high tempo, high-pressing game that he will want to see from his players in Manchester. Can they begin to execute his plans from the off?
