We preview the highlights of the weekend matches beneath.

Manchester United v Everton, Saturday – 12:30

Manchester United will be pleased about Marcus Rashford and the truth that they managed to carry on towards Brentford in mid-week as this shall be a more durable fixture than it says on the tin. With the highest 4 race wanting a lot completely different to the way it did two weeks in the past, these three factors may very well be invaluable.

The opposition, Everton, are a modified group below Sean Dyche with their defence wanting far more strong and tough to interrupt down. The newly appointed supervisor has launched a self-discipline and dedication that has seen the Toffees climb out of the underside three and searching far more like a Premier League worthy group.

The house facet are favoured right here at 1/2 with Everton coming in at 11/2, and whereas it seems from the chances that the relegation facet may very well be in for a battering, it’s more likely to be a lot completely different sport – these are each Premier League groups with every little thing to play for.

Rashford will seemingly be the distinction once more and we’re backing him to get one other as he chases down his Premier League season document purpose tally of 17 (at the moment on 15 at time of writing). Rashford to attain and United to win to nil is 7/2 with enhanced odds, and United’s quantity 10 to attain with a Bruno Fernandes help within the sport is 12/1 – two bets we’ll control on this necessary tie.

Brentford v Newcastle, Saturday – 15:00

This can be a colossal match for Newcastle as they shut in on a end within the high 4 one season after narrowly avoiding relegation.

While there was a large inflow of money and better high quality gamers into the facet, the stature of the membership allowed for such a improvement to happen and now the outcomes are very a lot mirroring the fanbase and historical past of the membership.

Brentford, however, gained promotion into the Premier League for the primary time of their historical past two seasons in the past however are enjoying like they’ve been right here for many years. Thomas Frank has a superb factor going on the west London membership and so they now look to be within the operating for a European place alongside Brighton and Aston Villa, two nicely established golf equipment.

The percentages favour third within the league Newcastle at 21/10, however Brentford are likewise in with a superb likelihood of victory at 13/5. It should seemingly be a detailed sport and with the house crowd behind them, Brentford may very well be an actual problem for Eddie Howe’s facet.

We’re backing a draw right here at 12/5 however not a excessive scorer. In contrast to Newcastle’s midweek sport towards West Ham that noticed them rating 5 targets, this shall be a troublesome battle and we like the chances of a 1-1 draw at 11/2.

Liverpool v Arsenal, Sunday – 16:30

No person can safely say they know the way this sport will pan out. When Liverpool are at their finest they’ll beat any facet on this planet, however this season they’ve been removed from their finest and at the moment sit eighth within the Premier League on 43 factors.

They’re the underdogs right here at 17/10, with Arsenal coming in at 7/5, and primarily based on the best way the season has gone, the end result ought to observe. Nevertheless, Liverpool are inclined to pop up randomly and play just like the group that received the Champions League not so way back – the query is which Liverpool turns up.

If it’s the Liverpool of this season, an Arsenal win of 2-1 at 17/2 seems to be fairly seemingly and with Bukayo Saka within the type he’s, odds of 13/5 that he’ll rating at anytime are fairly inviting. Equally although, Liverpool may change it on out of nowhere and the principle man Mohamed Salah may discover the online like he at all times appears to towards the highest sides. He’s 5/1 to be the primary goalscorer.

Honestly, as beforehand talked about, it’s a really arduous fixture to foretell and will go both method. We’re backing a hardly fought battle and an Arsenal win. Over two targets, over three playing cards, and over ten corners will be backed at 9/2.
