Newcastle United vs. Tottenham Hotspur picks and predictions

Prediction

Newcastle United 2, Tottenham Hotspur 1

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN NEWCASTLE UNITED (-120).

Simply put, Newcastle has been far better at home than Tottenham has been on the road.

Even lately, Newcastle has been a far superior side. United has won 5 of their last 6 while Tottenham is 2-3-3 in its last 8 throughout all competitions.

Tottenham has allowed 9 goals through its last 5 league matches, so the defense just hasn’t been up to par. United has done a little on both ends of the pitch, scoring 13 goals in their last 6 and allowing 7 in that span.

Newcastle also beat Tottenham earlier in the season on the road and has been the better club. Despite the juice, take NEWCASTLE UNITED (-120).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-135).

Both teams have had a better offense as of late than defense. United has gone Over this total in 3 straight games and in 5 of their last 6 league battles.

Tottenham is averaging 1.84 goals per game and allows 1.45, so its defensive shortcomings have been a season-long issue. It has gone Over in 4 of its last 5 games and has topped 3.5 goals in 3 of those 5.

Put it all together and take the OVER 2.5 (-135).

Liverpool vs. Arsenal odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Liverpool vs. Arsenal odds and lines, with expert EPL picks, predictions and best bets.

Liverpool (12 wins, 9 losses, 7 draws) welcomes Arsenal (23-3-3) to Anfield Sunday. Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Liverpool vs. Arsenal odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Arsenal beat Liverpool 3-2 on Oct. 9 at home. Arsenal had 2.7 expected goals which blew away Liverpool’s 1.1.

Liverpool is 9-1-3 at home this season and is averaging 1.71 goals per game. They allow 1.18. The home side is 0-2-1 in their last 3 games. Liverpool is led by star M Mohamed Salah, who has 12 goals and 7 assists (both team highs) on the season.

Arsenal is 11-2-1 on the road this season. They are averaging 2.41 goals per game while allowing just .93. They sit atop the EPL and are 5 points clear of Man City. Arsenal has 3 players with double-figure goals, but it is F Martinelli who has a team-high 13.

Liverpool vs. Arsenal picks and predictions

Prediction

Arsenal 2, Liverpool 1

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN ARSENAL (+145).

The Reds have been on fire as of late, having won 7 league-match games in a row. It hasn’t just been that Arsenal has won but moreso the manner in which they win.

They have won their last 3 games 4-1, 4-1 and 3-0. They also beat Liverpool the 1st time around and have performed equally as well on the road as at home.

Liverpool has also lost 4 of their last 8 throughout all competitions and 2 of their last 3 league matches. They are difficult to trust here, even at home.

Ultimately, back ARSENAL (+145).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-160).

The value isn’t necessary here to suggest a play, but it’s really the only way I’d play this battle. Liverpool’s played 2 games in the last week and should have relatively tired legs.

They have played Man City 4 times this season (2 times in non-league matches) and Arsenal once, going Over 2.5 in 4 of the 5 matches. Arsenal has scored 3 or more in 5 straight league matches and has gone Over this total in 7 of their last 8 league matches.

Superstar Liverpool D Virgil van Dijk missed the team’s match with Chelsea earlier this week with illness, so he may not get a full 90 either. Ultimately, despite the juice, take the OVER 2.5 (-160).

Manchester United vs. Brentford odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Manchester United vs. Brentford odds and lines, with expert EPL picks, predictions and best bets.

Manchester United (15 wins, 7 losses, 5 draws) welcomes Brentford (10-5-13) to Old Trafford Wednesday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Manchester United vs. Brentford odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Manchester United has been one of the EPL’s best home teams this season, posting a 9-1-3 record at home. However, they lost 2-0 on Sunday to Newcastle and have been struggling of late, posting a 0-2-1 record in their last 3 league games. They are led by star F Marcus Rashford, who has scored 14 goals in 27 games this season.

Brentford beat Man U 4-0 last Aug. 13. They are just 3-4-7 on the road this season though. In total, they have scored 46 goals and allowed 37, sitting in 7th place in the league. Brentford has drawn 4 of their last 7 matches and is 1-1-1 in their last 3 road games. They are led by F Ivan Toney, who has 17 goals in 26 starts.

Manchester United vs. Brentford picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester United 1, Brentford 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+310).

Man U is set to have many key players sidelined. M Casemiro will still be suspended. M Christian Eriksen is out, and M Anthony Martial is doubtful. That’s going to be quite a bit to overcome, especially having not played at the top of their game lately.

In their last 3 league matches, Man U has had 2 fewer expected goals twice and even had fewer in their 0-0 draw with Southampton as well. They cannot be trusted to get a result. Meanwhile, Brentford has drawn 5 of their last 10 league games.

Given their ability to keep games close with top opponents like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham, back the DRAW (+310) as they should be able to make this a close battle.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+105).

Brentford is not an attack-heavy side. They have gone Under in 3 of their last 4 matches and Under in 5 of their last 7. They are allowing just 1.32 goals per game as well.

Man U has gone Under in 3 of their last 4 games throughout all competitions as well. They have gone Under in 2 of their last 3 league matches.

Without 2 key attacking midfielders, they may struggle to produce. In their last 3 EPL games, Man U hasn’t had more than one expected goal and hasn’t scored in league play since Feb. 19. Ultimately, take the UNDER 2.5 (+105), especially considering the plus-money value.

FA Cup: Fulham vs. Manchester United odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Fulham vs. Manchester United odds and lines, with expert FA Cup picks, predictions and best bets.

Manchester United welcomes Fulham to Old Trafford Sunday for an FA Cup quarterfinal. Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Fulham vs. Manchester United odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Manchester United beat West Ham United 3-1 on March 1 in the Round of 16 to advance while Fulham defeated Leeds United 2-0 on Feb. 28 to advance. United beat Fulham 2-1 in league play on Nov. 13.

United has been solid as of late, surging up the EPL table to 3rd place. They are coming off a 1-0 road victory over Betis in the Europa League. United has just 1 home loss in league play this season. They are 9-1-3 (3 draws) at home this season.

Fulham, which sits 9th in the EPL, is 5-6-2 on the road this season in league play. They have won 4 of their last 7 matches throughout all competitions though and are 2-1-0 in their last 3 road matches. Fulham is led by F Aleksandar Mitrovic, who has 11 goals on the season. They also have USMNT D Tim Ream, who has recorded 27 starts.

Fulham vs. Manchester United picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester United 3, Fulham 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

United has been too hot this season, especially these last few months, to suggest any other moneyline play, but at -230, there’s no value in betting the home side to win outright.

They have won 11 of their last 15 games across all competitions, only losing to Liverpool while drawing Southampton, Leeds United, and Barcelona. Two of those draws were at home.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-150).

The juice is there, but it is worth taking regardless. Untied has scored at least 2 goals on their own in 13 of their last 16 games. Against Fulham earlier in the season, they had 2.5 expected goals yet only netted 2 of them. While Ream has been a steady force for Fulham, he is 35 years old and may not fair well against a player like F Marcus Rashford, who has 14 goals in 24 starts.

United has gone Over this in 3 of its last 5 matches, topping 3.5 goals as well in those 3. Fulham has gone Over this total in their last 2 and has allowed at least 2 expected goals in 3 of their last 4 EPL matches. It is allowing 1.37 goals per game while scoring 1.41.

Ultimately, back the OVER 2.5 (-150).

Fulham vs. Arsenal odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Fulham vs. Arsenal odds and lines, with expert EPL picks, predictions and best bets.

In English Premier League action on Sunday, Fulham (11 wins, 9 losses, 6 draws) hosts table-topper Arsenal (20-3-3) at Craven Cottage at 10 a.m. ET (Peacock/fuboTV). Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Fulham vs. Arsenal odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Fulham was on the short end of a wide 3-2 loss at Brentford on Monday, which snapped a 7-match unbeaten run for the Cottagers (4 wins, 3 draws). Fulham is rather stout at home, posting a total of 22 points at Craven Cottage this season.

Arsenal, the EPL leader with 63 points, also check in 2nd with a plus-34 goal differential. The Gunners have bagged 11 goals in the previous 3 trips to Craven Cottage, but Arsenal could have some issues since Gabriel Jesus is sidelined, and Martin Odegaard is doubtful to play due to illness.

Fulham vs. Arsenal picks and predictions

Prediction

Fulham 1, Arsenal 1

Moneyline (ML)

DRAW (+340) is a solid option for the chance to more than triple up.

Fulham was unbeaten in 7 matches before losing to Brentford last time out. Arsenal has been superb this season, but it enters a little dinged up. The Gunners will do well to grab a draw and a point to remain atop the EPL table.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (+110) is worth a roll of the dice. While Arsenal is averaging more than 2 goals per match, Fulham’s defense has been adequate. It is conceding just over 1.3 goals per match, and will make life difficult for Arsenal. If this match were at Emirates Stadium, and Arsenal was a little healthier, I’d lean the other way.

Liverpool (11 wins, 7 losses, 6 draws) welcomes Manchester United (15-5-4) to Anfield Sunday. Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Liverpool vs. Manchester United odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

With the Manchester City win over Newcastle Saturday, Man U is now 9 points out of 2nd place (having played 2 fewer games than City). United has scored 41 goals and allowed 28 in 24 matches. United is led by the surging F Marcus Rashford, who has 14 goals in 22 starts.

Liverpool, who has dropped off since a 2nd-place finish last season, sit 6th in the league and have scored 40 goals and allowed 28. Losing F Sadio Mane in the offseason was disruptive for this team. They are led by F Mohamed Salah, who has 9 goals and 5 assists this season.

Liverpool vs. Manchester United picks and predictions

Prediction

Liverpool 1, Manchester United 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+265).

Liverpool will be facing a competent side, and while they have played well at home, they still have 3 draws in 12 matches. They lost 2-1 to Man U Aug. 22, 2022, but the sides were within 0.5 expected goals of each other.

Man U has 2 draws in 12 road matches but have drawn 2 of their last 7 throughout all competitions. They are red hot, having won 9 of their last 11 but are facing one of the most complete sides in the EPL.

Considering the competitive nature and similar level of play, put a small unit on the DRAW (+265).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+130).

Liverpool has gone Under in 4 of their last 5 games throughout all competitions and in their last 4 league matches. They are 1-5 O/U in their last 6 EPL matches.

Without Mane, the Liverpool attack has taken a huge hit this season. They averaged 2.47 goals per game last season and are down to just 1.67. They also allow just 1.17 per game, so the defense has remained elite.

Man U has scored 2 or more goals in just 5 of 12 road matches this season, and against an elite defense, they should struggle to find opportunity. Also, they allow just 1.17 per game as well, so they have an elite backline.

Ultimately, back the UNDER 2.5 (+130).

Manchester City (17 wins, 4 losses, 4 draws) welcomes Newcastle United (10-2-11) Saturday. Kickoff from Etihad Stadium is set for 7:30 a.m. ET (USA Network). Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Manchester City vs. Newcastle United odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Manchester City sits 2nd in the EPL, trailing Arsenal by 5 points. They are 10-1-1 at home this season and are averaging 2.56 goals per game, allowing 1 goal per game. They are led in scoring by F Erling Haaland, who has 27 goals in 24 matches. City’s +39 is the league’s best goal differential.

Newcastle sits 5th on the table with the league’s 3rd-best goal differential at +20. They have allowed just 15 goals, the fewest in the league, and scored 35. Newcastle is led by F Miguel Almiron, who has scored 10 goals in 23 matches.

Manchester City vs. Newcastle United picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester City 1, Newcastle United 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

I like Newcastle to get a result here, but I wouldn’t bet it. City has been too dominant at home to play even a sprinkle on Newcastle or the draw.

However, if you’re feeling risky, Newcastle has drawn both Man United and Arsenal on the road this season and has a draw already with Man City. They have also drawn 3 of their last 4 league matches.

Again, this is ultimately a pass for the suggestion, but a Draw (+390) does have some value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+120).

Newcastle has the best defense in the EPL and has gone Under this total in 8 of their last 9 matches throughout all competitions. Their draws against Man U and Arsenal, both of the road, were 0-0 results.

While the last match between these 2 was a 3-3 finish, Newcastle had just 5 shots on target while City had 10. That type of accuracy is unlikely on Saturday. Also, the Newcastle defense has looked quite a bit better since that Aug. 21, 2022, battle.

Man City also has the 3rd-best defense in the EPL and has allowed 2 or more goals in just 4 home matches while having also pitched 4 home clean sheets. The defenses here should provide value on the plus-money Under.

Back the UNDER 2.5 (+120).

Arsenal vs. Manchester City picks and predictions

Prediction

Arsenal 2, Manchester City 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET ARSENAL (+200).

Arsenal has beaten Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, West Ham and Tottenham at home this season. They have played well and have had success against top-tier clubs. The key here is in the midfield, and the combination of M Granit Xhaka and Odegaard has proven to be as good as any other in the EPL.

With City D John Stones out, they may struggle as contain a balanced Arsenal attack. City has lost to Tottenham, Liverpool and Man U on the road this season. Their struggles away from home have been well documented.

Put it all together and back ARSENAL (+200).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-115).

Both teams have talented attacks and should be able to get ample opportunities. Arsenal is averaging 2.19 goals per game. They have scored 3 or more goals in 2 of their last 4 home games and have topped this total in 3 of their last 5 home games.

City has had at least an expected goal in all but 1 road match this season. They have had at least 2 expected goals in 2 of their last 4 road matches. City is averaging 2.55 goals per game.

The dominant attacks should produce goals in this game. Back the OVER 2.5 (-115).

Leeds United, who recently brought in M Weston Mckennie, got off to a hot start, winning 2 of their first 3 games. They have since lost 4 of their last 7. Leeds is led in scoring by F Rodrigo, who has scored 10 goals this season. Their weakness is defense, having allowed 1.7 goals per game this season.

Manchester United 3, Leeds United 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

Man U has been so dominant at home, winning their last 6 EPL home matches, that the moneyline isn’t worth playing. On the other side, Leeds just fired their manager, Jesse Marsch, and isn’t worth taking a small play on.

Ultimately, these odds are justified, but just overall unplayable.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-155).

The value here isn’t great, so I also wouldn’t hate the reasoning to suggest an Over 3.5 (+155).

Man U has scored at least 2 goals in their last 10 home matches throughout all competitions. They have scored at least 3 goals in 2 of their last 4 league games and at least 2 in all 4. They have gone Over 2.5 in all 4 of those. They have gone Over in 7 of 10 home matches.

Leeds, on the other hand, has a flawed defense yet has scored a goal in 6 of their 10 road matches. They have also allowed at least 2 goals in 6 of those 10.

The combination of the electric Man U attack, struggling Leeds defense and reasonably competent Leeds attack, back the OVER 2.5 (-155) and consider the Over 3.5 (+155).

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester City picks and predictions

Prediction

Tottenham Hotspur 2, Manchester City 2

Moneyline (ML)

BET TOTTENHAM OR TIE (+105).

An option, instead of just taking the moneyline or Tottenham to win, is combining the 2. City has yet to go on the road and beat a top-5 team this season, losing to Man U and drawing Newcastle United 3-3. While they did beat Tottenham, the difference in location should be a factor here.

City’s defense also isn’t what it was a year ago. They allowed 26 goals in 38 games last season and have allowed 20 in 20 matches this year. They will be going against the EPL’s 3rd-best-scoring team which should expose those shortcomings.

While Tottenham is 0-2-0 against top-5 teams at home, they had .2 fewer expected goals than Arensal and more expected goals than Newcastle. They have played top teams closely at home, and for this value, back TOTTENHAM OR TIE (+105).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-150).

It is difficult to get there given the value, but the Over should be the better play. City scored 4 on Tottenham just a few weeks ago and has the league’s most dangerous attacker in Haaland. The league’s top-two scorers should be active for this game, combining for 37 goals on the season.

City has gone Over this total in 3 straight EPL games, scoring 3 or more goals in their last 2. Tottenham has gone north of it in 8 of their last 11 matches. For a small unit given the value, back the OVER 2.5 (-150).
