ASTON VILLA VS LEEDS
Although Unai Emery's side crashed out of the FA Cup last weekend, it's now time to fully focus back on the Premier League - and a top four spot remains the aim.
Despite a couple of slip ups at home, Villa have done most of their best work in front of their fans, with only Arsenal and Man City picking up more points. Leeds head to Birmingham having conceded 27 on their travels, and having collected just eight points on their travels, this could be a difficult fixture for them.
Form has improved, but Villa beat them at Elland Road 2-1, and a similar scoreline could be on the cards this weekend. Back Emery's side to get back on track.
Betting Tip: Aston Villa to win – 4/5 –
BetMGM
CHELSEA VS BURNLEY
Chelsea continue to hunt down a Champions League spot themselves and head into their clash against Burnley with 13 points from their last five matches. Within those games, Liam Rosenior's side have scored 13 goals and conceded just six - contrasting form compared to their next opponents.
Burnley have shipped in 32 goals on their travels this season, picking up eight points from a possible 39. Although they beat Palace last time out on the road, that was their first win away from home since October - and so often have struggled against superior sides.
Chelsea's price is short, but considering how they are scoring for fun yet failing to keep clean sheets, the hosts can record another win but not without a scare or two along the way.
Betting Tip: Chelsea and over 2.5 goals – 5/6 –
High Bet
BRENTFORD VS BRIGHTON
After losing 2-0 at home to Nottingham Forest, Brentford have bounced back with three wins and a draw from their last four matches, including wins over Aston Villa and Newcastle.
At home, the Bees have been hard to beat. Only Forest and Man City have left with all three points - and it doesn't feel as though Brighton will be added to that list.
Manager Fabian Hurzeler is under immense pressure having failed to win any of his last six matches and they head to the capital scoreless in their last three games.
With just two away wins since the beginning of December - and fans clearly against their head coach - Brighton may struggle to compete with Brentford's high energy and ruthless edge in front of goal.
Betting Tip: Brentford to win – 1/1 –

WEST HAM VS BOURNEMOUTH
Two in-form sides clash in East London on Saturday evening as the hosts continue to fight for survival while the visitors are eyeing up a European spot. Since their defeat against relegation rivals Forest, West Ham have beaten Sunderland and taken a point from Man United on home soil.
The Hammers have found their competitive edge again and are putting in performances that could see them climb out of the bottom three come May.
Bournemouth, unbeaten in five, have been playing some of their best football in recent weeks. The addition of Rayan Vitor has helped take them to the next level - and away wins over Wolves and Everton will boost their confidence on their travels.
Both teams are flying - and fighting for different objectives - but that could see this game open up. They drew 2-2 earlier in the season, and goals could be at the heart of the reverse clash too.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 goals and BTTS Yes – 10/11 –
BetMGM
MAN CITY VS NEWCASTLE
With Arsenal dropping points against Wolves midweek, Pep Guardiola's side will be desperate to close the gap - and a win over Newcastle would put them just two points behind the league leaders.
Newcastle, although successful against Qarabag in the Champions League midweek, are in poor form domestically, picking up just four points from their last five games.
They recently faced Man City in the EFL Cup semi-finals, losing 3-1 at the Etihad and 2-0 at home, and once again Guardiola's side are expected to pick off Eddie Howe's inconsistent side.
Having won their last six matches at home by a two goal margin, Man City will be looking to replicate that against Newcastle - and they have done so at the Etihad in four of their last five meetings.
Betting Tip: Man City -1.5 Handicap – 8/7 –

FOREST VS LIVERPOOL
Forest may have yet another manager in the dugout but they will be made to work for any possible points when Liverpool rock up on Sunday afternoon.
Vitor Pereira's side may have beaten Liverpool at Anfield earlier in the campaign, but Liverpool arrive at the City Ground in fine form, having won four of their last five. Three of those wins have seen Arne Slot's side score at least three goals - and Forest's defence will be tested.
The hosts may be unbeaten at home in their last four, but they haven't won at the City Ground in the Premier League in 2026 - and Liverpool, who recently became the first side to beat Sunderland at the Stadium of Light - should have too much for this relegation threatened side.
Liverpool aren't often 5/6 to beat a side in the bottom half of the table - and it's simply too good to miss out on.
Betting Tip: Liverpool to win – 5/6 –
247 Bet
SPURS VS ARSENAL
The North London derby could be as spicy as ever on Sunday. Arsenal's title race is under serious threat, whereas Spurs are fighting against a shock relegation, sitting just five points above the relegation zone.
Arsenal threw away a two goal lead to draw with 20th place Wolves on Wednesday evening, while Spurs head into this clash having only won one of their last five.
Goals have been a common theme at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium of late, with four of their last five producing over 2.5 goals. On the road, three of Arsenal's last five have produced over 2.5 goals - and two fragile defences coming up against each other - in a huge clash - could see that number increase.
Neither side can afford to drop any more points, and an early goal could see the match completely open up - perfect for the neutral, and over 2.5 looks a solid bet.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 goals – 4/5 –
High Bet
EVERTON VS MAN UNITED
On Monday night, Everton will be looking to do the double over Man United this season - although their poor home form may stop that from happening.
Winless in six in front of their supporters, the Toffees have struggled to get going in their new home. The good news for David Moyes is that Man United's away record doesn't read well, either.
With just one win from their last five - which surprisingly came against Arsenal - Michael Carrick's side haven't kept a clean sheet away from home in the Premier League this season.
Both sides seem incapable of keeping the ball out of their net at present, and with that in mind, both teams to return to the scoresheet looks to be the best bet over in Merseyside.
Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 7/11 –
