Manchester United vs. Everton odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Manchester United vs. Everton odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

In a matchup of two EPL powerhouses, Everton (4 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw) travels to take on Manchester United (4-1-1) Saturday at Old Trafford with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview the Manchester United vs. Everton odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Following a thrilling midweek victory over La Liga’s Villareal in the Champions League, Manchester United will return to EPL action where it last lost to Aston Villa Sept. 25.

Man U has been led by F Cristiano Ronaldo since his midseason transfer.

Man U next takes on a sharp Everton side. It lost only to Aston Villa in EPL play but also does not have many premier victories, having done what many expected so far this season.

We’ll see if Everton’s dynamic young duo of M Demarai Gray and Dominic Calvert-Lewin can continue to flourish in their first real test of 2021.

Manchester United vs. Everton odds, picks and predictions

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 10:55 a.m. ET.

Money line: Manchester United -210 (bet $210 to win $100) | Everton +600 (bet $100 to win $600) | Draw +340
Over/Under: 2.5 (O: -130 | U: +105)

Prediction

Manchester United 2, Everton 1

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line. After Man U lost to Aston Villa and almost drew a mid-tier La Liga side, I’d stay away from the -210 number.

If anything, put a small unit on the draw, but I’d look to BET for BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-110).

Everton seems to be the side more prone to not score, but has 12 goals through six EPL games. Everton was shut out 3-0 by Aston Villa, but the strength in attack is there, and Gray and Calvert-Lewin are both quick, attack-minded players.

With Ronaldo on one side and the duo on the other, I’d expect a goal from each club, and for that value, it’s a far better wager than anything on the actual money line.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the OVER 2.5 (-130) as both teams have powerful attacks.

Unsurprisingly, they’re also both at the top of the table because they’ve had competent defenses. However, Man U is tied for the second-most goals in the EPL, and Everton is tied for the fourth-most.

Its duo of young attackers and then Ronaldo on the other side with M Paul Pogba supporting him should be enough for multiple goals to end up in the back of the net.

Arsenal vs. Tottenham odds, expert picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Arsenal vs. Tottenham odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

Following an action-packed Saturday, Tottenham (3 wins, 2 losses, 0 draws) visits Arsenal (2-3-0) in Sunday’s marquee match. The match will kick off at 11:30 a.m. ET at Emirates Stadium. Below, we preview the Arsenal vs. Tottenham odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

The joyous start to the season for Tottenham hasn’t quite continued. After winning a thriller against Man City, Tottenham has gone 2-2 in EPL play and is struggling to score.

Despite having elite forwards Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min on the roster, the Hotspur have produced just 3 goals in five matches. Tottenham is coming off back-to-back 3-0 losses, the first of which it was awarded a red card against Crystal Palace.

Arsenal is regaining strength following an early-season COVID-19 outbreak and has been able to find some success. The Gunners have taken down Burnley and Norwich City.

Arsenal vs. Tottenham: Odds, picks and predictions

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 3:45 a.m. ET.

Money line: Arsenal +125 (bet $100 to win $125) | Tottenham +230 (bet $100 to win $230) | Draw +230
Over/Under: 2.5 (O: -102 | U: -122)

Prediction

Arsenal 1, Tottenham 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to the DRAW (+230) as neither side has shown much against top-tier talent and has taken care of business other than that. It’s hard to bet one of these two teams to win.

Arsenal is getting closer to full strength, but it beat two lower-level sides both 1-0. A more convincing win over Norwich would’ve padded the resume. Arsenal has scored two goals in five matches.

As for Tottenham, its win over Man City is a little misleading as it stuck nine in the box and often pushed in counterattacks. The Hotspur defended well and got one on the board, but it wasn’t quite the most telling performance.

Given that both sides look just below the top-tier clubs, I’m leaning to a draw.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the UNDER 2.5 (-122) as the clear best bet in this match.

There’s no way around it. The numbers point clearly to Under 2.5. Arsenal has scored twice this season and Tottenham has just 3 goals.

The attackers are there, but both teams are lacking in the midfield, hurting the distribution to said strikers. Arsenal ranks seventh and Tottenham ranks 19thin shots. Both are among the bottom four in the league in goals scored.

Tottenham has given up six goals, with all of those coming in its last two matches. Arsenal has two straight clean sheets.

EPL Week 6 best bets: Picks and predictions for Saturday’s top matches

Nathan Beighle makes his top picks and predictions for Saturday’s biggest EPL Week 6 matches.

The English Premier League heads into its sixth week with a full slate of Saturday matches. Sportsbook Wire’s Nathan Beighle looks into the odds and lines at Tipico Sportsbook and offers up his best EPL picks and predictions on the biggest games.

Action starts with a pair of games at 7:30 a.m. ET as Manchester United hosts Aston Villa and Chelsea welcomes Manchester City. There’s a three-way tie atop the table heading into the weekend, with Chelsea, Liverpool and Man U all knotted at 13 points and records of 4 wins, 0 losses and 1 draw.

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at noon ET.

Brentford vs. Liverpool odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Brentford vs. Liverpool odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

In an action-packed EPL Saturday, Liverpool (4 wins, 0 losses, 1 draw) will travel to take on Brentford (2-1-2). The match is slated to kick off at 12:30 p.m. ET at Brentford Community Stadium. Below, we preview the Brentford vs. Liverpool odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Brentford has impressed so far this season. Its only loss was against fourth-place Brighton and it drew Aston Villa and Crystal Palace. Brentford defeated Wolverhampton and a deflated Arsenal, both by a 2-0 count.

Liverpool is tied for first in the EPL and has not gotten three points in a match only once, a 1-1 draw with Chelsea Aug. 28. Liverpool has given up just 1 goal on the season. D Virgil van Dijk, arguably the best defender in the world, anchors the backline.

Brentford vs. Liverpool: Odds, picks and predictions

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 12:04 p.m. ET.

Money line: Brentford +520 (bet $100 to win $520) | Liverpool -190 (bet $190 to win $100) | Draw +340
Over/Under: 2.5 (O: -125 | U: +100)

Prediction

Liverpool 2, Brentford 0

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line wager.

Why? Well, on the road, betting on Liverpool is just too steep. It has played an almost flawless schedule so far, but three of its four wins were against teams within the bottom five of the table.

ONE TEAM TO NOT SCORE can be had at -125, and it’s basically a bet on Liverpool’s defense, which is much more exciting of a value than -210 for the win. Liverpool has given up just 1 goal while Brentford has given up 2.

Overall, this is a great bet as this should be a defensive-minded match.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the UNDER 2.5 (+100) as the best value in this match. As noted, Brentford has given up just 2 goals on the season and has scored 5, scoring just 1 goal in two matches against top-10 clubs.

Against a lethal Liverpool attack, Brentford should be able to hold up reasonably well, giving up just 1 goal to each Brighton and Aston Villa.

Crazy enough, Under 2.5 goals would have hit in every Brentford match so far this season. Despite a talented attack, it still would’ve hit in two of five games for Liverpool.

Given how this game should play out, the Under is the better bet on the total.

Manchester United vs. Aston Villa odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Manchester United vs. Aston Villa odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

In one of Saturday’s premier EPL matches, Aston Villa (2 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw) travels to take on Manchester United (4-0-1). The match is set to kick off at 7:30 a.m. ET at Old Trafford. Below, we preview the Manchester United vs. Aston Villa odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Manchester United defeated West Ham 2-1 last weekend but then lost 1-0 in the League Cup Wednesday. Man U has won three straight EPL matches with its only draw coming against Southampton, who also managed to draw Manchester City.

Man U is led in the middle of the field by M Paul Pogba and up top by superstar F Cristiano Ronaldo. It faces a tough test in Aston Villa, which enters the weekend 10th in the table.

Aston Villa is coming off a midweek penalty shootout loss to Chelsea in the League Cup. Last weekend, Aston Villa thrashed Everton 3-0. F Danny Ings has led the attack with 2 goals.

Manchester United vs. Aston Villa: Odds, picks and predictions

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 5:45 p.m. ET.

Money line: Manchester United -240 (bet $240 to win $100) | Aston Villa +600 (bet $100 to win $600) | Draw +390
Over/Under: 3.5 (O: +145 | U: -190)

Prediction

Manchester United 3, Aston Villa 1

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line. Manchester United is the popular play, but it has taken on four of the six worst teams in the EPL through five games.

The other match was its most recent EPL showing, a 2-1 victory over West Ham in which it was saved by an 89th-minute goal. Betting -250 just isn’t smart.

BOTH SIDES TO SCORE (-125) is also a fine play, as Man U has the league’s best attack but is also lacking defense.

It has given up a goal in four of five EPL matches and scored in each performance. Aston Villa and its opponent both scored in two of five matches.

Given how Man U should dictate the pace with its elite midfield, the pace should bode well for ample opportunity for both sides.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 3.5 (+145) as Manchester United has the most lethal scoring attack in the EPL.

With Ronaldo now set into the system, having scored 3 goals since his debut, Ronaldo, F Bruno Fernandez and Pogba should be able to create plenty of chances.

Man U had 10 shots on goal against West Ham and easily could’ve pocketed a few more goals. It has scored 13 goals through 5 matches on the season.

As for Aston Villa, it scored 8 goals through 5 games and has given up 7; however, it gave up 3 against Chelsea, which is an attacking side comparable to Man U.

Leicester City vs. Burnley odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Leicester City vs. Burnley odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

On an action-packed Saturday, Burnley (0 wins, 4 losses, 1 draw) travels to take on Leicester City (2-3-0). Kickoff is at 10 a.m. ET at King Power Stadium. Below, we preview the Leicester City vs. Burnley odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Leicester City lost two of its last three EPL matches but is still a heavy favorite against the winless Burnley.

It most recently lost 2-1 to Brighton, a discouraging loss for a club that finished the last two seasons in fifth place. Leicester City has stayed afloat due to quality defense, having given up just 8 goals through five matches.

Burnley enters the match week in 19th place with a 1-1 draw with Leeds United. Two small positives are it lost just 1-0 to Arsenal and 2-0 to Liverpool.

Leicester City vs. Burnley: Odds, picks and predictions

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 11:59 a.m. ET.

Money line: Leicester City -160 (bet $160 to win $100) | Burnley +440 (bet $100 to win $440) | Draw +300
Over/Under: 2.5 (O: -125 | U: +100)

Prediction

Leicester City 1, Burnley 0

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to the LEICESTER CITY (-160) despite the somewhat steep price.

Having finished in the top five in two straight seasons, Leicester City might be off to a tough start, but the culture of success is in place. F Jamie Vardy is currently tied for the fourth-most goals in the EPL with 3.

Leicester City has two wins and three losses. It defeated every team it has played that’s below it in the table. Burnley should be no different.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the UNDER 2.5 (+100) as both teams are strong defensively yet have struggled to score so far this season. Leicester has just 5 goals on the season.

It has given up 8 which includes four to West Ham; Leicester had a first-half red card in that match. Burnley has scored 3 and given up nine through five matches.

Both teams are in the bottom half of the league in shots and this should be a low-scoring match. At +100, I wouldn’t be afraid to put a unit on the Under 2.5.

Everton vs. Norwich City odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Everton vs. Norwich City odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

On an action-packed Saturday, Norwich City (0 wins, 5 losses, 0 draws) travels to take on Everton (3-1-1). The game will kick off at 10 a.m. ET at Goodison Park. Below, we preview the Everton vs. Norwich City odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Coming in without a win or draw on the season, Norwich City is in early trouble of relegation. It lost to Liverpool in the third round of the EFL Cup Tuesday and looked helpless only against Man City and Liverpool while losing by one to Arsenal and Leicester City.

As for Everton, it had an impressive start with its best victory being a 2-0 defeat of Brighton. Everton is coming off a painful 3-0 loss to Aston Villa.

Led by M Demarai Gray and F Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Everton enters the match as a heavy favorite.

Everton vs. Norwich City: Odds, picks and predictions

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 11:57 a.m. ET.

Money line: Everton -165 (bet $165 to win $100) | Norwich City +460 (bet $100 to win $460) | Draw +300
Over/Under: 2.5 (O: -120 | U: -105)

Prediction

Everton 2, Norwich City 1

Money line (ML)

BET on EVERTON (-165) as, even at this price, there’s decent value. Everton has looked competent in all but one match.

Aside from the lost to Aston Villa, in which Everton committed an own goal, it has given up just 4 goals, while scoring 10 goals in the other four games. This is also, in part, about how poorly Norwich has looked, scoring just 2 goals and allowing 14 through five games.

That just can’t be overlooked when taking on a side with the sixth-most goals in the EPL through five weeks. It would be shocking if Everton didn’t come out on top. Although it’s not great, the value is still there to put a unit on Everton.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (-120) as the best value on the total. Either 2-1 or 3-0, Everton should get on the board and score at least 1 more than Norwich. Calvert-Lewin and Gray both have 3 goals on the season.

Each team has averaged more than 3 goals per game for themselves and their opponent. With that in mind, Over 2.5 is a good value.

Chelsea vs. Manchester City odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Chelsea vs. Manchester City odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

In the premier EPL match of the weekend, Manchester City (3 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw) visits Chelsea (4-0-1). The match will kick off at 7:30 a.m. ET and will be held at Stamford Bridge. Below, we preview the Chelsea vs. Manchester City odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

This will be a battle of two of the best midfields in the world. M Jack Grealish, M İlkay Gündoğan, and M Kevin de Bruyne should headline Man City’s lineup.

Man City is coming off an embarrassing tie against Southampton. It gets its first real test of the season with Chelsea, although it lost to Tottenham to open the season despite threatening throughout the entire match.

Chelsea is coming off a dominant 3-0 win over Tottenham. Its lone test was a 1-1 draw against Liverpool in which it looked like the better side until a 45th-minute red card.

Both sides have allowed just one goal through five matches, an important note for this match.

Chelsea vs. Manchester City: Odds, picks and predictions

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 11:55 a.m. ET.

Money line: Chelsea +165 (bet $100 to win $165) | Manchester City +175 (bet $100 to win $175) | Draw +225
Over/Under: 2.5 (O: +110 | U: -135)

Prediction

Chelsea 1, Manchester City 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to the DRAW (+225) as there really isn’t much separating the two sides.

Man City looked like the better team in both non-wins, posting 16 shots and 64% possession against Southampton. The results haven’t been there, and on the road, I don’t think City comes out with three points.

However, I also wouldn’t bet on Chelsea to take down a side that’s given up just 1 goal on a quick counterattack against Tottenham.

The strength of the defenses should be clear in this match. The only real match we have to reference is Chelsea vs. Liverpool which ended in a draw. Two top-tier sides could easily end in a draw.

For this value, I’d lean that way for half a unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the UNDER 2.5 (-135) as both teams have elite defenses.

Chelsea has given up just 1 goal on a penalty kick to Liverpool F Mohamed Salah. Man City, who was playing Tottenham on the road to start the season, allowed a quick counterattack and was scored on.

Neither side has consistently shown weakness, and with two of the best goalies in the league between the sticks, I’d be shocked if either team can get to 2 goals Saturday.

Tottenham vs. Chelsea odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Tottenham vs. Chelsea odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

In the most anticipated EPL match of the weekend, Chelsea (3 wins, 0 losses, 1 draw) visit Tottenham (3-1-0). Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. ET from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Below, we preview the Tottenham vs. Chelsea odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Tottenham’s 1-0 takedown of Manchester City has been the most impressive win of any EPL side this season, despite Chelsea entering the match as favorites.

The Hotspur’s sole loss was a 3-0 defeat against Crystal Palace, with all goals being scored after a Tottenham red card in the 58th minute. The loss sent them down the table to No. 7.

Chelsea entered the weekend tied for the top spot with Liverpool, Everton and Manchester United. They’re coming off a 3-0 defeat of Aston Villa and drew Liverpool 1-1 prior to that. The Blues are a dangerous side with a true No. 9 in F Romelu Lukaku.

Tottenham vs. Chelsea: Odds, picks and predictions

Odds provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 1:41 p.m. ET.

Money line: Tottenham +410 (bet $100 to win $410) | Chelsea -140 (bet $140 to win $100) | Draw +275
Over/Under: 2.5 (O: +110 | U: -135)

Prediction

Chelsea 2, Tottenham 1

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line.

Chelsea is the more talented side, especially with defensive specialists D César Azpilicueta and M Kante. However, on the road, this feels like a trap game.

Not discrediting Tottenham’s win over Man City, but that was their opponent’s first game with M Jack Grealish.

However, Tottenham has two of the most lethal attackers in the EPL with F Harry Kane and M Heung-min Son, both top goal scorers from a season ago. Son’s status for the game remains unconfirmed as he will be assessed prior to the match.

That’s why I’d bet BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-101).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (+110) as Lukaku and Kane are possibly the two best forwards in the EPL. With 3 goals, Lukaku is tied for the third-most goals in league action at the time of writing.

While Chelsea has given up just one goal on the season, the only other great attacking side it’s played is Liverpool. They allowed a goal there, and Liverpool had several opportunities for more.

If Tottenham doesn’t load the penalty box and play back as they did with Man City, expect a match that tops 2 goals.
