🔥 Bet Like a Pro: This Week's Must-Have Football Bets! 💰

Just as you're catching your breath from a week of Champions League fixtures, the Premier League weekend has rolled back around with potential title-defining fixtures to look forward to, below we provide you with in-depth research and some of the nest prices ahead of the weekend!

Our tips will consist of the following categories:

·   The Banker – A bet with shorter odds that is typically, statistically, more likely to happen.

·   The Earner – An upgrade on the banker that holds more potential profit, at a greater risk.

·   The Long Shot – A bet with longer odds that aims to secure significant profit but as the name suggests, is often difficult to pull off.

·   The Accumulator – A combination of often shorter odd bets to create a longer, more profitable accumulator.

The Banker - (11/10)

Bukayo Saka to have a shot on target (11/10)

This is a great price for a player who currently averages the 6th most shots on target per 90 in the entire Premier League so far this season, with an average of 1.85 shots on target per 90.

Whilst Manchester City’s defence tends to be water-tight, the Citizens do concede an average of 2.75 shots on target per 90 so far this season, despite not playing an opponent of top six quality yet.

When a shot on target does eventually fall for the Gunners, the statistics suggest that Saka is the most likely man to have it with the winger averaging the highest shots on target per 90 out of the Arsenal team with Kai Havertz notably far behind the Englishman in the stat.

There were initial injury concerns around Saka when he limped off against Tottenham on the weekend, however, reports have confirmed the 23-year-old has taken part in training ahead of Arsenal’s Champions League opener and is expected to start against Man City.

The Earner - (3/1)

Palmer 2+ shots on target, 8+ corners and 40+ booking points [yellow = 10 points, red card = 25 points]. (3/1)

This bet was a winner last time these two met with Cole Palmer’s two shots on target being the only part of this bet that is statistically less than the average for the season.

We’ve seen a notable influx in yellow cards in recent weeks with Chelsea themselves involved in a game that broke the record for the most bookings shown in a match (14 cards). West Ham are no saints either, averaging two bookings per match so far this season.

As for corners, Chelsea have seen there be eight corners in each match they’ve played barring their opener against Manchester City. Both sides currently average 8.25 and 8.5 corners in their matches with the quota for this bet likely to be met in this clash.

Cole Palmer’s two shots on target are likely to be the trickiest part of this bet as mentioned before, however, the forward had two against West Ham last game and with the Hammers averaging 4.50 shots on target against them per 90, the former City man could well have at least two shots on target.

The Long Shot - (8/1)

Under 2 goals, Arsenal to have under 4 corners & Man City to have under 5 shots on target - (8/1)

→ The best odds for this bet can be found at Bet365 - Link

While this bet seems as though it’s overly negative as to what kind of spectacle this blockbuster of a fixture may be, it’s frustratingly likely with both sides showing last season that they are happy to take a draw in this game.

In fact, despite Arsenal having one too many corners, this bet would have come in for the last two matches between Manchester City and Arsenal with there being just a singular goal in this tie in the last two games.

Arsenal are without captain and key creator, Martin Odegaard, and have already been recording corner tallies as low as 1 and 3 against Aston Villa and Brighton, without Odegaard, the Gunners are even less likely to force corners and be on the front foot against a dominant City side.

As for shots on target, Arsenal rarely concede many, not allowing more than four shots on their goal so far this season. Despite City’s attacking brilliance, Arteta’s side will likely look to shut out Guardiola’s dangerous front line and therefore minimise their shots on goal.

The Accumulator - (10/1)

Aston Villa, Liverpool & Tottenham all to win, Leicester v Everton to be a draw (10/1)

→ The best odds for this bet can be found at Bet365 - Link

All of the teams to win are at home to sides that can be tricky to face, boosting the odds whilst still not being too much of a risk, a great example being Liverpool, who did lose at home to Nottingham Forest, but have refound their rhythm with a win away to AC Milan and should be able to bounce back at home against Bournemouth.

Tottenham are similarly at home to a tricky side in Brentford, and whilst Postecoglou’s side have hardly been blowing people away with their performances of late, Spurs do usually dominate possession at home and with the Bees missing key counter-attackign weapon, Wissa, through injury, Tottenham could brush aside Brentford.

Aston Villa may be fatigued from a midweek Champions League trip, but their opponents, Wolves, have had a day less to recover after playing Brighton in the Carabao Cup. The visitors have struggled to get results so far this season and could well pick up their third straight loss against Villa.

Relegation candidates, Leicester and Everton, are both struggling to pick up points so far in the Premier League with this tie so close to call that a draw at 5/2 is a pretty good price that bumps up this accumulator considerably.
