Latest Premier League Betting Tips
Time for week four, and Laura has taken a look at all five televised games this weekend for us!
Arsenal v Nottingham Forest
Arsenal will be keen to bounce back following their narrow defeat away at Anfield before the international break. Much has been made of the line-up Mikel Arteta chose to face the Champions, but I expect Arsenal to come out swinging in this fixture. Impressive performances from Noni Madueke for England should also give Arteta’s side confidence going into this one.
Ange Postecoglou makes his return to the Premier League having been appointed by Nottingham Forest following the sacking of Nuno Espirito Santo. Given his preference for high-lines and emphasis on attacking football, eyebrows have been raised at his appointment.
Forest might be hoping for a new-manager-bounce, but Arsenal have enjoyed much success against Postecoglou in the past 3 seasons and should have more than enough to win at the Emirates.
- Laura's Prediction: Arsenal Win
West Ham v Tottenham
West Ham produced a somewhat surprise result before the international break, beating Nottingham Forest 3-0 to ease the pressure slightly on Graham Potter. Many have already picked the Hammers for relegation, but this display has given a hint of what West Ham are actually capable of.
Spurs on the other hand will be keen to make amends for what was a dismal display against Bournemouth. Off the pitch, the departure of Daniel Levy after a 25-year stint at the club will have unsettled some, but Thomas Frank will know how important this game is to build momentum in the league.
This is a tough one to call with two currently unpredictable teams, but if Spurs can produce a similar performance to the one which saw them beat Manchester City back in August, they should come away with the three points.
- Laura's Prediction: Tottenham Win
Brentford v Chelsea
This West London derby marks the start of a tricky run of games for Brentford, which sees them facing Manchester United, Manchester City, and Liverpool in the space of six weeks. To make matters worse, Keith Andrews will be without Assistant Coach Martin Drury, who left the club last week.
Chelsea have two wins and a draw from their opening three games, and optimism continues to build around the club. In truth, they are yet to face a side which would genuinely test their seemingly resilient defence, so fans won’t be getting carried away just yet. Cole Palmer remains a doubt for Saturday, and with Rory Delap sidelined until November, Joao Pedro will likely lead the line.
Chelsea have not won at the GTech Community stadium since 2021 with the last 3 meetings ending in a draw. This time, I think Chelsea have just enough to take the three points.
- Laura's Prediction: Chelsea Win
Burnley v Liverpool
A meeting with the Champions at Turf Moor feels like a free-hit for Burnley, who acquitted themselves well against Man United but ultimately came away empty-handed. Scott Parker will need his side to start much better this game, as their opponents this week will surely punish them much earlier than United did.
All eyes will be on new signing Alexander Isak, who may well make his Liverpool debut this weekend following his £125m move to the Reds. With Liverpool having taken maximum points from the first 3 games, Arne Slot faces the difficult task of fitting Salah, Ekitike, Wirtz & Isak into the same side.
It’s hard to see Burnley getting anything here and I expect Liverpool to be far too strong for the Clarets.
- Laura's Prediction: Liverpool win
Manchester City v Manchester United
For the first time in years, Manchester City come into this derby sitting below Manchester United in the table. Despite this being just the 4th game of the season, it does have a ‘must-win’ feeling about it for Guardiola’s side, who have endured their worst start to the Premier League for over two decades.
They will be buoyed by the signing of Gianluigi Donnarumma from PSG, arguably the best goalkeeper in the world at the moment, and with Erling Haaland returning from an international break where he scored 5 goals in one game.
Manchester United’s win against Burnley may have temporarily eased the pressure on Rueben Amorim, and they will be hoping for a repeat of the last time they visited the Etihad. Amad Diallo’s 90th minute goal last year saw them win there for the first time since the 2020/2021 season.
That said, with Haaland’s current form, and a potential debut for Donnarumma, the points should be heading to the blue side of Manchester.
- Laura's Prediction: Manchester City Win
