Arsenal vs. Manchester United picks and predictions

Prediction

Arsenal 2, Manchester United 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET ARSENAL (-113).

Arsenal has been almost flawless at home, and they have been rolling as of late. The Reds have scored multiple goals in every home league match outside of a 0-0 draw with Newcastle in which they had more expected goals than their opponent. Arsenal has only allowed a goal per game as well.

While United has surged up the table lately, they haven’t been great on the road, which was evident in their 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace. They have had fewer expected goals than their opponent in half of their road matches.

Ultimately, considering both teams in this position, back ARSENAL (-113).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-140).

Arsenal is averaging 2.33 goals per game and has been incredibly efficient at home this season. United is averaging 1.58 goals per game this season.

They have scored in every game throughout all competitions since Oct. 16. Goals should be scored in this battle, so back the OVER 2.5 (-140) for a partial unit due to the value on it.

Liverpool vs. Chelsea odds, picks and predictions

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

Chelsea (8 wins, 7 losses, 4 draws) battles Liverpool (8-6-4) Saturday at Anfield. Kickoff is set for 7:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Liverpool vs. Chelsea odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Compared to results last season, both teams have been relatively disappointing, tied for 9th on the table — though Chelsea has played 1 more game. It’s not what was expected of Liverpool and Chelsea, who finished 2nd and 3rd in the EPL last season, respectively.

Liverpool will be at home for this match Saturday, where it is 6-1-2 this season. The Reds are led by F Mohamed Salah and F Roberto Firmino, who are tied with a team-high 7 goals. Liverpool averages 1.89 goals per game while allowing 1.39. It has lost 2 straight EPL matches after winning 4 in a row.

Chelsea is just 3-5-2 on the road this season. The Blues have immense trouble scoring, averaging just 1.16 goals per game while allowing 1.11. They’re led by F Kai Havertz, who has just 5 goals on the season. Chelsea is just 2-3-1 over its last 6 matches.

Liverpool vs. Chelsea picks and predictions

Prediction

Liverpool 2, Chelsea 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET LIVERPOOL (-115).

Chelsea, simply put, is just too shorthanded to go on the road and get any type of result. It is expected to be down D Reece James, MF N’Golo Kante, D Ben Chilwell, F Raheem Sterling and F Christian Pulisic.

That’s just too much firepower and is just a few names that are expected to be sidelined. Couple that with inadequate road performances this season by Chelsea, and Liverpool should manage to come out on top. At this value, the home side is a strong play.

Liverpool also has quality home wins this season to showcase its dominance, beating Man City 1-0 (Oct. 16) and Newcastle 2-1 (Aug. 31). The Reds have played well against quality opponents at home, and that should continue Saturday. BACK LIVERPOOL (-115).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN UNDER 2.5 (+120).

With Firmino doubtful for Liverpool, the Reds will be without a key forward as well. Chelsea is down at least 2 key forwards along with many pieces that are crucial to quality build-up transitions.

Chelsea has gone scoreless in 2 of its last 5 home games and has gone Under this total in 3 of those 5. Ultimately, considering the pieces the Blues are down and their style of play, back UNDER 2.5 (+120).

Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur odds and lines, with EPL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Manchester City (12 wins, 3 losses, 3 draws) welcomes Tottenham Hotspur (10-6-3) to Etihad Stadium Thursday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

The home side could be without star M Kevin De Bruyne, who missed training Tuesday. City, which sits 2nd in the league, 8 points behind Arsenal,  is just 2-1-1 in their last 4 matches. They lost to Manchester United 2-1 last weekend. City is 7-1-1 on the season at home. F Erling Haaland is having a magical season with 21 goals in 16 starts.

Tottenham, who could be without M Rodrigo Bentancur, lost to Arsenal last weekend 2-0 at home and having fewer expected, 1.6 compared to their opponent’s 1.6. Tottenham is just 4-2-3 on the road this season. They are led by F Harry Kane, who has 15 goals in 19 starts.

Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester City 3, Tottenham Hotspur 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

I wouldn’t play City here, on the money line or spread. They are 0-1-1 at home in their last 2 home games, and that is enough uncertainty to avoid betting them at (-270).

Tottenham, also coming off a loss and having not played overly well away from home, doesn’t deserve any sprinkle at (+700).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+140).

While City hasn’t played overly well of late, they have scored 3 or more goals in 6 of 9 home games this season. They have scored 2 goals in their last 2 home games, but have 3.3 expected goals, and against a poor Tottenham defense, the goals should come in bunches.

Tottenham allows 1.42 goals per game. They also have an elite attack, averaging 1.95 goals per game. They have scored 2 or more goals in 5 of 9 road matches, so the Kane-led attack can still score on the road.

Couple both teams’ season-long trends in this position, and back the OVER 3.5 (+140).

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Arsenal odds, picks and predictions

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

Tottenham (10 wins, 5 losses, 3 draws) battles Arsenal (14-1-2) Sunday. Kickoff from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is set for 11:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Tottenham Hotspur vs. Arsenal odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Arsenal has been the best team in the EPL this season, and it hasn’t been particularly close. They received a nice gift with Man United’s 2-1 win over 2nd-place Man City Saturday as well. Arsenal has scored 40 goals and allowed 14 in 17 matches. They are led in scoring by F Martinelli and M Martin Odegaard, both of which have a team-high 7 goals.

Tottenham is led by F Harry Kane, who has 15 goals in the year. They have been rock solid at home, posting a 6-0-3 record. The Hotspur attack is lethal with 37 goals in 18 games, having allowed 25. They are just 1-1-1 over their last 3 league matches.

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Arsenal picks and predictions

Prediction

Arsenal 2, Tottenham Hotspur 2

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN DRAW (+260).

Tottenham has yet to lose at home this season, and it will have enough pace to push the Arsenal backline. The Kane-led side have 3 home draws as well. Arsenal will also be down F Gabriel Jesus, who has been a star for them this season.

Arsenal is 1-1-1 this season against top-5 EPL sides. They beat Tottenham 3-1 earlier in the season at home, but Arsenal had just 0.8 more expected goals.

Now on the road and considering Tottenham’s dominance at home, back a DRAW (+260) but only for a small unit considering the value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-130).

Arsenal has gone Over this total in 2 of its last 3 EPL matches. It is also 2-1 O/U this total against top-5 EPL sides, and it is playing one of the best offenses in the league.

Tottenham has gone Over this total in 3 of its last 4 league matches with all 3 of those games going Over even 3.5 total goals. They have arguably the best-finishing forward in the league in Kane coupled with one of the best dribbles in F Son Heung-min.

That has been a recipe for offensive success. Couple that with their defense allowing 1.39 goals per game, and against an Arsenal team that also has a lethal attack, back the OVER 2.5 (-130).

Manchester City vs. Chelsea odds, picks and predictions

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

In the 3rd round of FA Cup action, Manchester City battles Chelsea with kickoff from Etihad Stadium in Manchester set for 11:30 a.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Manchester City vs. Chelsea odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Manchester City sits 2nd in the EPL and played Chelsea on the road Thursday in their 2nd meeting this season. They won that battle 1-0 with 2.1 expected goals which compared favorably to Chelsea’s 0.4 expected goals. City has scored 45 goals and allowed 16 in 17 league games this season. They are led by F Erling Halland, who has 21 of those 45 goals.

Chelsea will hobble into this game with F Raheem Sterling and F Christian Pulisic both doubtful. Key D Reece James and M N’Golo Kante have both been ruled out. Chelsea has struggled immensely on offense this season, scoring just 20 goals in 17 matches. They have allowed just 19, so their defense has stayed among the league’s best. Sterling and F Kai Havertz lead the team with 4 goals apiece.

Manchester City vs. Chelsea picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester City 2, Chelsea 0

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

City is the better side, and with Chelsea starting 3 defenders on Thursday that were over 30 years old, they may have some tired legs taking the pitch in this battle.

Chelsea’s form as of late has also not been ideal, losing 4 of their last 6 games, 2 of which were to City.

Chelsea hasn’t shown enough attacking prowess to suggest they’ll get on the board, and with Haaland just 22 and spry, I expect the City attack, which has the most goals in the EPL, to continue thriving.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+115).

While Chelsea can’t score consistently, they can defend at a high level, allowing just 1.12 goals per game in league play. They have allowed just 1 multi-goal game in their last 7, a 2-0 loss to City.

They have gone Under this total in all 7 and have not scored in 4 of them. They have under 1 expected goal in 4 of their last 5 as well (excluding Nov. 9 vs. City as they weren’t tracked).

City has gone Under this in both games against Chelsea and in their last 2 league matches. They have scored more than 1 goal in 2 of their last 5, so the typical dominant City attack hasn’t been as lethal.

Couple Chelsea’s defense, lacking offense and the recent history between these clubs, and back the UNDER 2.5 (+115).

Chelsea vs. Manchester City odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Chelsea vs. Manchester City odds and lines, with EPL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Chelsea (7 wins, 5 losses, 4 draws) welcomes Manchester City (11-2-3) to Stamford Bridge Thursday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Chelsea vs. Manchester City odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Man City sits 2nd in the league and trails Arsenal by 8 points, having played 1 fewer game. The road side in this match is 4-1-2 away from home this season. They are led in scoring by F Erling Halland, who has 21 goals on the season while 31-year-old M Kevin De Bruyne has 9 assists, tops on the team. Man City is just 1-1-1 in their last 3 league matches.

Chelsea is having a disappointing season, but is 4-1-2 at home this season. Their main weakness is offense as they’ve scored just 20 goals in 16 matches. F Raheem Sterling and F Kai Havertz are tied for the team lead with 4. Chelsea is coming off a disappointing 1-1 draw to Nottingham Forest.

Chelsea and Man City will battle Sunday as well in the 3rd round of the FA Cup.

Chelsea vs. Manchester City picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester City 2, Chelsea 0

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN MANCHESTER CITY (-155).

The value isn’t necessarily there, but this is the best play on the moneyline. City has the talent, and Haaland provides enough offensive support to break through a stiff Chelsea backline.

Chelsea is also down several key players, including D Reece James and M N’Golo Kante, 2 players who have critical roles for the club. Chelsea’s inability to score, going against the team with the 3rd-fewest goals against, is another reason to back City here.

Man City has 24 more goals than Chelsea on the season, and the Blues may not be able to play from behind if they concede 1st. Back MANCHESTER CITY (-155) for a small unit given the value.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN UNDER 2.5 (+105).

This is my favorite play given the value, but considering the odds, I still wouldn’t make a full-unit bet here.

Despite losing some 1st-team members, Chelsea will still have D Cesar Azpilicueta and D Thiago Silva, 2 of the most experienced at their position in the world. The last time Chelsea went over this total in any competition was a 2-1 Champions League win on Nov. 2.

They have given up just 18 goals this season, the 4th-fewest in the league. City also has an elite defense, headlined by D Kyle Walker. This is both sides’ 1st league match in which it had faced a top-10 side since the World Cup break, so there could be a sluggish start to it as well.

Ultimately, back the UNDER 2.5 (+105).
