The Gunners are a slight favorite at +145 at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com to come out on top at home with Manchester United going off at +195 to win and +230 to play to a draw. Before this current run of success against Manchester, Arsenal was just 1-11-3 in its previous 15 games against the club. Both of these teams enter this game in solid form with matching three-game winning streaks.
Manchester United currently holds a four-point lead on the table over Arsenal with a 10-2-2 record to Arsenal’s 9-4-1.
Liverpool is 4-0-1 over its last five games and has picked up all four of its wins over that run by three goals. The club will try to stay hot as a -210 road favorite this Saturday taking on Brighton (+600 to win, +335 to draw). Brighton has lost three straight games to Liverpool and hasn’t picked up a win in this head-to-head series since 1984.
Four teams currently jostling for position in the Top 10 on the English Premier League table will face off on Saturday as Leicester City (-130) hosts Burnley (+400 to win, +255 to draw) and Watford (+400) hosts Tottenham (-145 to win, +290 to draw).
Despite earning wins in four of its last five games and sitting in sixth place in the standings with a 7-3-4 record, Burnley continues to provide great value to bettors as an underdog. Burnley is tied with Chelsea for the third lowest amount of goals surrendered this season at 11.
And the seemingly unbeatable Manchester City (13-0-1) is in action on Sunday as a massive -1100 favorite hosting West Ham United (+2300 to win, +1000 to draw).
Each of Manchester City’s last five wins have come by two goals or less, but at home against a weak opponent like West Ham, bettors may be tempted to give the points in search of a better payout. Manchester is going off at -135 on the two-way line with a spread of -2.5 goals.
