Premier League Gameweek 22 Tips: 25/1 Accumulator
There is a full midweek schedule in the Premier League, running from Tuesday to Thursday, with a number of intriguing fixtures taking place that impact teams at both ends of the table.
Highlights include Newcastle’s trip to Aston Villa, who boast the best home record in the division, as well as table-topping Liverpool’s crunch clash with Chelsea at Anfield.
We have picked out the best bets from the midweek matches, with the fixtures taking place at Luton, Villa, West Ham and Wolves helping to form our four-game accumulator which pays out at 25/1.
Tip 1 - Draw in Luton v Brighton @ 16/5
Luton are fighting hard to retain their Premier League status and they head into Tuesday's home showdown with Brighton just one place and point clear of safety.
The Hatters have lost just one of their last seven games in all competitions to give renewed hope of avoiding relegation, but they do come up against a Seagulls side that are unbeaten in six and eyeing another European finish.
Brighton have chalked up two big wins in their last two away outings, both of which came in the FA Cup, and their most recent road matches in the Premier League have ended in draws at Crystal Palace and West Ham.
No team has drawn more matches than Roberto De Zerbi's visitors, who have shared the spoils eight times this term, and that may be the result at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday.
Of Luton's four draws this season, three have come on home soil and they have put in stellar performances against top opposition in their own backyard, holding Liverpool and suffering one-goal defeats to Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea.
Tip 2 - Over 2.5 goals in Aston Villa v Newcastle @ 1/2
Newcastle defeated Aston Villa 5-1 on the opening weekend of the season at St James' Park and, while the same result is unlikely, there should still be plenty of goals in Tuesday's tussle from Villa Park.
The Villans sit fourth heading into this contest, five points behind Liverpool at the summit, and their sensational home form is a huge reason why they remain in the title conversation.
Unai Emery's side have recorded nine wins and a draw from their ten Villa Park assignments, the best home record in the division, and seven of those contests produced over 2.5 goals.
Newcastle may not be where they want to be down in tenth in the standings, but they have been an entertaining side to watch and their tally of 41 goals in the league is bettered only by Arsenal, Villa, Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City.
There have been at least three goals in four of the Magpies' last five matches in all competitions and it would be no surprise to see over 2.5 goals oblige again.
Tip 3 - Both teams to score in West Ham v Bournemouth @ 4/7
West Ham are unbeaten at home in the league since the end of October and next up they entertain Bournemouth, who have won five of their last six away matches in all competitions.
Picking a winner between two in-form sides at the London Stadium looks difficult, therefore, and backing both teams to score may be the avenue to take.
The Hammers have failed to score at home in the league just twice from ten attempts this term, while the Cherries have scored in 11 of their 12 away outings in all competitions.
Tip 4 - Wolves to beat Manchester United @ 37/20
Rounding off this accumulator is for Wolves to get the better of Manchester United, who were given a real scare in their 4-2 win at League Two outfit Newport in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday.
The Red Devils are without a win in their last four away league games, taking just one point during that torrid run, and they look set to struggle against a Wolves side that have impressed on home turf.
Gary O'Neil's side, who are on a seven-game unbeaten in all competitions heading into this contest, haven't lost at Molineux since going down 3-1 against Liverpool on September 16.
Wolves have gone nine games unbeaten at home since that defeat, beating Manchester City, Tottenham, Burnley, Chelsea, Everton and Brentford alongside draws with Aston Villa, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest.
Wolves also come into this off the back of a derby victory over West Brom in the FA Cup, so confidence is sky high and they may chalk up another win at Molineux on Thursday.
