Here are some of the betting tips for this weekend’s English Premier League games.
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City
While the Cityzens may have had a lukewarm start to the season, they are now in red-hot form. Manchester City are clear favourites to collect all three points against a struggling Nottingham Forest side. Pep Guardiola’s men look reborn as they head into the busy festive period, although inconsistency earlier in the campaign means Forest could still spring a surprise.
Nottingham Forest have recorded three wins and two draws in their last five matches.
Manchester City, on the other hand, boast a perfect record of five wins from their previous five outings.
Best Bet: Direct win for Manchester City
Brighton vs Arsenal
While Arsenal will be keen to maintain their position at the top of the table, their recent performances have not been entirely convincing. The Gunners have done just enough to grind out results but are yet to hit top gear. Brighton will be eager to spoil the party for the league leaders, especially given Arsenal’s tendency to stumble during the festive period.
Brighton have managed one win, two draws, and two defeats in their last five games. Arsenal, meanwhile, have registered four wins and one loss in the same period.
Best Bet: Double Chance – Arsenal to win or draw
Liverpool vs Wolves
Arne Slot’s men have undoubtedly been one of the biggest disappointments of the current Premier League campaign, though signs of improvement are beginning to emerge. The Reds have struggled for consistency despite heavy spending in the summer transfer window. Their most recent victory was encouraging, but the question remains whether they can build momentum.
Liverpool welcome a Wolves side enduring a dreadful season and seemingly destined for the drop zone. In their last five matches, Liverpool have recorded three wins and two draws, while Wolves have suffered five consecutive defeats.
Best Bet: Direct win for Liverpool
Chelsea vs Aston Villa
With Chelsea’s Club World Cup heroics now a distant memory, the Blues are desperate to maintain momentum and stay in the title conversation. They face a tough test against a high-flying Aston Villa side unbeaten in 10 matches. Chelsea will look to make home advantage count, while Villa will be confident of claiming a positive result on the road.
An entertaining encounter is expected when the two sides meet. Chelsea have managed two wins, two draws, and one defeat in their last five games, while Aston Villa boast five wins from five.
Best Bet: Double Chance – Chelsea to win or draw
