Bolanews shines the light on the top five games in the Premier League including betting tips, predictions, odds, and previews.
Arsenal Vs Bournemouth
Following their 4-0 victory over Everton, Arsenal now holds a 5 points lead at the summit of the table.
They will look to secure their fourth successive victory in the Premier League by grabbing all three points against relegation battlers Bournemouth on Saturday.
Bournemouth will be eager to make amends after suffering a 4-1 loss at home to City last weekend.
A victory at the Emirates seems unlikely but the visitors will aim to spoil the party.
The Gunners have won all six of their home games against Bournemouth in all competitions, by an aggregate score of 17-2.
Bournemouth have never kept a Premier League clean sheet against Arsenal, winning just one of their 11 meetings with them in the competition (D2 L8).
After losing 2-0 to Brentford on the opening day last season, Arsenal have won their last eight Premier League meetings with promoted sides.
They last had a longer winning run between January 2002 and February 2003 (9).
Mikel Arteta’s men have won three of their last five games, drawing once while losing once.
Bournemouth have won one of their last five games while losing and drawing twice.
BETTING TIP: Direct win for Arsenal with 2-3 goals in the match.
ODDS: 2.65
Chelsea Vs Leeds
Strugglers Chelsea takes on relegation-threatened Leeds at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Despite spending exorbitant amounts to add on their squads, nothing has paid dividends yet as Potter’s men find themselves in an unlikely position, as they sit 10th on the table with 31 points from 24 games.
Graham Potter’s men will be eager to revenge the 3-0 they suffered to Leeds in the reserve Premier League fixture.
The Blues have won their last five Premier League home games against Leeds.
They have only won 3 out of 15 games under Graham Potter, having recorded 6 draws and 7 losses.
Chelsea have not won in the last 5 games, losing twice and drawing thrice.
On the hand, Leeds are also winless in their last five Premier League matches and are currently just a point above the relegation zone.
BETTING TIP: Chelsea to win or draw and both teams to score.
ODDS: 2.20
Southampton Vs Leicester City
Following their embarrassing elimination from the FA Cup after losing to league two side Grimsby Town, Southampton’s quest to stay ashore continues when they host Leicester City.
The visitors will head into this match after also getting eliminated from the FA Cup by Championship side Blackburn Rovers.
The game will most certainly deliver edge-of-the-seat moments with Premier League survival at stake.
Leicester are currently in 14th place while Southampton are rock bottom.

The Saints are looking to complete the league double over Leicester for the first time since 2007-08 in the Championship, while they last did so as a top-flight club in 1986-87.
Since losing 3-0 at St Mary’s in January 2017, Leicester are unbeaten in their last five away league games against Southampton (W3 D2), scoring 18 goals in the process (3.6 per game).
The Foxes have lost their last two Premier League matches while Southampton defeated Chelsea before losing to Leeds.
BETTING TIP: Try double chance for either team with 0-2 goals in the match.
Manchester City Vs Newcastle
Manchester City has two consecutive wins with a victory over Bournemouth and Bristol City and should be high on confidence when they host Newcastle.
Following their 2-0 loss to Manchester United in the Carabao Cup final shift attention to their quest for European football.
Manchester City have 3 victories, and 2 draws in their last five games.
Newcastle, on the other hand, have one victory, two draws, and two losses.
The two drew 3-3 in their first meeting this season at St James’ Park in August.
The Magpies have a chance to avoid defeat in both Premier League meetings against City for the first time since 2004-05 (W1 D1).
City’s record against Newcastle should give them confidence but the game can go either way.
BETTING TIP: Try a double chance for either team to win and both to score.
ODDS: 2.60
Liverpool Vs Manchester United
Undoubtedly the biggest game of the weekend as Liverpool welcomes United at Anfield.
A victory for the Reds will stir them in the right direction but it won’t come easy against an in-form United.
Following their 2-5 humiliation against Real Madrid, Liverpool will be eager to bounce back to winning ways.
They have won three of their last five games while only drawing once and losing once.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, have four victories and one draw in their last five games.
Liverpool are unbeaten in their last six home league games against United (W3 D3) since a 1-0 loss in January 2016.
It’s their longest run without defeat against the Red Devils at Anfield since a run of nine between 1970 and 1979.
Manchester United have completed the Premier League double over Liverpool more than any other side (8), and are looking to do so for the first time since 2015-16 following their 2-1 win at Old Trafford in August.
BETTING TIP: Try double chance for either team to win with 0-3 goals in the match.
