Premier League betting tips

The Premier League title race has opened up following Arsenal's shock loss to Bournemouth, meaning all the eyes will now be on Manchester City as they prepare for a crunch trip to Stamford Bridge.

Elsewhere, Roberto De Zerbi makes his debut as the new Tottenham manager when his side travel to the Stadium of Light for a huge clash with Sunderland. Only a win will take Spurs out of the bottom three.

Sticking with the relegation theme, Nottingham Forest have an opportunity to push away from the bottom three when they take on a Champions League-chasing Aston Villa.

If that was not enough, Crystal Palace welcome Newcastle to Selhurst Park for a potentially tasty encounter.

Tip 1: Ismaila Sarr to score or assist

Ismaila Sarr scored Crystal Palace's clincher on Thursday night and now sits on 19 goals for the season.

He's a decent 6/4 with Bet365 for a goal or assist, provided Glasner doesn't give him a breather ahead of the second leg in Europe.

Tip 2: Newcastle to score first

Newcastle should be fresh after their long break and could take advantage if Palace show any signs of a European hangover.

So there could be some value in backing the Magpies to score first at 10/11 with William Hill.

Tip 1: Matty Cash over 1.5 fouls

Matty Cash to commit two or more fouls is supported by both his consistency and the likely matchup.

He has committed at least one foul in 25 of his 28 games, which gives a strong floor. The recent trend is stronger. He has made 14 fouls across his last eight matches, averaging 1.75 per game, which sits close to the two foul line.

Tip 2: Under 4.5 goals

Forest’s last four at home show 1.16 xG and 1.12 xGA with just 25% over 2.5, pointing to controlled and low scoring games. Their attacking output is limited, scoring once in six at the City Ground, which restricts goal volume.

Villa’s away numbers are also moderate, averaging 0.95 xG and 1.28 xGA, which does not suggest a high scoring game. Villa hold the stronger xPTS profile and greater control, supporting them avoiding defeat, while the lack of attacking output on both sides keeps totals under 4.5 goals.


Sunderland vs Tottenham (2pm)

Sunderland v Tottenham

Tipster: SlipsTips

The alarm bells are ringing at Tottenham after entering the bottom three, and fans will be hoping for an immediate turnaround under new boss Roberto De Zerbi away at Sunderland.

Tip 1: Cristian Romero to be booked

In the player card markets, it’s difficult to look past Cristian Romero to be booked at best odds of 9/4 with Paddy Power.

The Argentine defender’s aggressive style has seen him collect an eye-watering 8 yellow cards and 2 red cards in the Premier League this season.

The Spurs centre-back should have his hands full with Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey, which only strengthens the case for backing him to have his name taken at the Stadium of Light on Sunday.

Tip 2: Both teams to score

Spurs’ last eight show 75% both teams to score and 75% over 2.5, highlighting consistently open games. Sunderland also concede 7.8 shots in the box at home, which increases the likelihood of Spurs creating chances.

At the same time Sunderland’s own 1.43 xG shows they carry a threat. Spurs now sit in the bottom three and this is the first game under Roberto De Zerbi, which can increase tempo and risk, supporting chances at both ends.


Chelsea vs Man City (4.30pm)

Chelsea v Man City

Tipster: Greg MacLean

Super Sunday main events don't get bigger than this. Chelsea are fighting for a top-five finish but all the attention will be on Man City, who have an opportunity to close the gap on Arsenal in the Premier League title race.

Tip 1: Bernardo Silva to be booked

Bernardo Silva did the business for us last weekend by backing up his 15th card of the season against Liverpool (14 yellows & one red), meaning he has now been carded in six of his past 10 appearances for Manchester City in all competitions.

What’s more, the Portuguese international has been booked in three of his previous four Premier League appearances against Chelsea – including in the reverse fixture at the Etihad at the beginning of January – and is an appealing 27/10 at William Hill to be carded at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Tip 2: Man City over 1.5 goals

Manchester City backed up their success in the League Cup final over Arsenal by putting four unanswered goals past Liverpool in the FA Cup last weekend, and should possess too much firepower for an injury-hit Chelsea defence.

The Blues have kept a solitary shutout across their previous 15 Premier League encounters and recently shipped eight goals over two legs against PSG in the Champions League, and the 4/5 on offer for City to bag a double appeals to me here.
