the premier league heads towards the international break with a huge weekend of fixtures. not only are there a couple of high profile games on sunday, but leicester travel to old trafford to face manchester united on saturday. we’ve picked out the three biggest matches from this round, and made a few predictions. you can see our latest premier league betting tips below.
can leicester upset league leaders manchester united?
manchester united’s brilliant start to the new season has already marked them out as title contenders. after manchester city’s early slip, the red devils are arguably favourites for this season’s trophy in the early stages. can they continue that impressive run when they host 2016 title winners leicester this weekend?
united have racked up two 4-0 victories so far this season, but this task is considerably tougher. they head into this one facing a leicester side who have hit five goals in their opening two games – three of which came at arsenal. they should pose a threat to mourinho’s united, purely because the foxes have such variation in their attack.
we can’t see leicester heading home without a goal, so we’re backing both teams to score here. you can get great value on btts, which is available at 5/4 with bet365. for all of leicester’s attacking strength, we don’t see them taking anything from this game. we’re backing a home win and btts, which can be backed at 21/20 with coral. while they should find this tough, we expect united to maintain their 100% record.

will chelsea’s recovery continue against everton?
after positive results last week, both chelsea and everton will be aiming to build on that this weekend. chelsea pulled off a 2-1 win at wembley over spurs, which is probably a run of the mill thing really. given their horror start against burnley, that was a crucial win for the blues. however, everton claimed a point at man city on monday, and they could have picked up even more.
this is likely to be another tight game, but the visitors should find the net. the champions have kept two clean sheets at home in the league since the start of 2017, and just one in their last nine. that should give everton a chance, and we can see them grabbing a goal on sunday. we’re backing btts here once again, which can be backed at odds of 21/20 with bet365. if you’re worried by the quality of everton’s defence, you can get a goal for the visitors at 17/20 with unibet, which seems like a big price against chelsea.
arsenal look to bounce back with anfield victory
arsenal lost at stoke once again, and they face another tough trip with liverpool up next. the reds have drawn 3-3 with watford and narrowly beaten crystal palace at home. those two results suggest that the reds will struggle here, but they’ve been saving themselves for the champions league. having turned up to germany and beaten a hoffenheim side who were unbeaten at home last term, the reds are still clearly a side for the big game.
while arsenal have trouble getting up for these big occasions, liverpool need that extra edge to play at their best. they head into this game as favourites and we think it’s worth backing them to get a result. the home side are best priced at odds of 11/10 with ladbrokes, which kicks off our liverpool v arsenal predictions.
given the nature of these two defences, we fail to see this being a low scoring tie. both teams are strong going forward, and that should lead to goals. with that in mind, a home win and over 2.5 goals seems like a smart bet. that can be backed at 2/1, again with ladbrokes, which seems like a massive price.
