the premier league is football at its best: fast, frenetic and with plenty of goals. here we bring you the latest premier league betting tips for the upcoming matches, including a massive manchester derby and a good few early-season relegation battles. so read on for our analysis of the 10th round of matches of the premier league season with the latest and best betting odds to help you get top value on your wagers.
we’ll kick things off with what is undoubtedly the biggest game of the weekend: manchester city v manchester united, being played on sunday at the etihad. neither side has had the best of starts to the season by their exacting standards, particularly united who are yet to win a league match on the road and who have already lost to swansea and leicester.
city, meanwhile, have already tasted defeat on home soil to stoke this season, but given that they have beaten united on five of the last six occasions on which they’ve met in the league, it is no surprise to see manuel pellegrini’s men priced as favourites. the home win is available to back at best betting odds of 5/6 with ladbrokes, which compares to 3/1 with william hill for the draw and 13/4 with 888sport for the red devils to take the three points.
with sergio aguero hitting top form (as exhibited by his four-goal haul against spurs recently) and yaya toure and david silva also playing well, we think the citizens will win this one. but united have their own attacking stars and we fancy the visitors will get at least one goal of their own. as such our main betting tip for the manchester derby is for city to win and both teams to score at nice betting odds of 23/10 with coral.
elsewhere, table-toppers chelsea host qpr in a match the blues are expected to win comfortably. harry redknapp’s men looked solid in their 2-0 victory over villa on monday night, however, and given they won at stamford bridge on their last visit there in 2013, the best betting odds of 18/1 with betvictor for the hoops to pull off a shock win might tempt some. not us though, and despite chelsea’s odds being prohibitively short at just 2/11 with 888sport, we think backing the home side to win by a single goal looks a very shrewd option given diego costa and loic remy look likely to miss out. this is our main betting tip for this one at nice odds of 17/5 with betvictor.
the first match of the weekend sees a rejuvenated newcastle united welcome a struggling liverpool side to st james’ park. not so long ago, magpies boss alan pardew looked certain to lose his job, but a draw and two wins, the latest coming away at spurs, have bought him some time and his men are starting to look like a team again.
liverpool, meanwhile, haven’t yet come to terms with life without their former talisman luis suarez, and the injury to daniel sturridge and poor performances from a host of new signings have meant the reds have been disjointed and ineffectual for much of the campaign. a limp 0-0 draw against hull last time out makes us suspect newcastle could get something from this match and backing the home side with a +0.5 goal advantage in the asian handicap market looks a great option at best betting odds of 10/11 with betvictor.
arsenal host winless burnley at the emirates on saturday and the gunners are strong favourites to get the three points, stan james offering best betting odds of just 3/10 for the home win. sean dyche’s men are desperate for points as they are currently bottom of the table on just four points. but with just five goals to their name from nine matches, we can’t see them troubling arsene wenger’s men here and our betting tip is for the home side to win to nil at betting odds of 6/5 with betvictor.
elsewhere, everton host swansea as roberto martinez hopes to get victory over the side he used to manage. this will be an exciting contest between two footballing sides, but we feel everton have started to find their rhythm after back to back league victories against villa and burnley, in both of which they mustered a three-goal haul. backing the draw at half time but the toffees to win by the final whistle looks a decent option at best betting odds of 4/1 with totesport in what could be quite an even match.
southampton will be aiming to maintain their excellent start to the campaign when they visit hull on saturday. ronald koeman’s men are currently second in the table and have the best defensive record and second best attack in the division. however, their two defeats have come on the road and hull is never an easy place to visit. while the saints are priced as the 11/10 favourites with coral and others, we prefer the prospect of backing the draw at betting odds of 5/2 with stan james, and that is our betting tip here.
west ham are another side flying high at present and if they can get the win from their trip to stoke they could move up to third in the table. the potters, though, are as stubborn a side as you will find in the top flight, and we think backing the draw at half time could be the safest bet in this one at betting odds of 8/7 with 888sport.
leicester versus west brom and monday night’s crystal palace versus sunderland are two early relegation six-pointers in our eyes, and we are going with home advantage for each, backing leicester to beat the baggies at betting odds of 5/4 with paddy power and palace to get the better of the black cats at 23/20 with william hill.
finally, struggling aston villa host struggling tottenham in a match that both managers simply must win. villa have lost their last five without scoring a single goal, and their confidence is at rock bottom. as such our final betting tip for the premier league weekend is for spurs to capitalise and eke out the victory at best betting odds of 23/20 with ladbrokes.
