PREMIER LEAGUE GAMEWEEK 28 TIPS: 15/1 ACCUMULATOR
It is a huge gameweek from top to bottom in the Premier League and here is a look at some of the best selections for the fantastic fixtures taking place this weekend.
The headline encounter comes at Anfield on Sunday as title-chasing pair Liverpool and Manchester City face off, while Arsenal host London rivals Brentford on Saturday and top-four hopefuls Aston Villa and Tottenham meet in the Midlands.
Our five-game acca for Gameweek 28 involves wins for Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, Arsenal and West Ham as well as goals in the headline clash between Liverpool and Manchester City and it pays out at 12/1.
TIP 1 - CRYSTAL PALACE TO BEAT LUTON @ 4/5
Oliver Glasner's Crystal Palace tenure began with a 3-0 home win over Burnley last month and the Eagles are again a good bet to win when they return to Selhurst Park to face Luton.
All three of Palace's goals in that win over the Clarets came in the second half but they dominated the match, managing 15 shots and denying their opponents a shot on target.
They were on the road to Tottenham last time out and led 1-0 in that match until the 77th minute when Timo Werner equalised. Cristian Romero and Heung-min Son also scored late goals to turn that game on its head but there were positive signs for Palace.
Luton can be a tough nut to crack on their own patch but they have won only twice on the road in the league this season and are worth opposing in Croydon.
TIP 2 - BOURNEMOUTH -1 GOAL ON HANDICAP V SHEFFIELD UNITED @ 10/11
Sheffield United are likely already preparing for life in the Championship with the Blades 11 points adrift of safety with 11 games left to play in the Premier League this term.
The latest setback was a 6-0 mauling by Arsenal on Monday night and that was the fourth time in 2024 that they have conceded five or more goals.
Indeed, Sheffield United have leaked 72 goals in 27 matches in the Premier League this season, collecting a miserly 13 points in the process.
They look out of their depth and could be in for another comprehensive defeat away to Bournemouth, who are unlikely to be dragged into the danger zone in the coming months.
Andoni Iraola's men are a work in progress but with the likes of Dominic Solanke and Justin Kluivert leading the line, they can rack up the goals and win this by two goals or more.
TIP 3 - ARSENAL TO WIN & OVER 2.5 GOALS V BRENTFORD @ 8/15
Another side who know where the net is at the moment are Arsenal, who can win a high-scoring matchup with Brentford.
The Gunners took their goal difference to a potentially decisive +45 with their 6-0 hammering of Sheffield United on Monday and they have now netted 31 goals in the top flight in 2024 alone.
They have churned out seven successive wins in the Premier League this year and they should sniff an opportunity in the title race this weekend, knowing that Liverpool and Manchester City lock horns on Sunday.
With 19 wins from 27 matches, an Arsenal win is undoubtedly the way to play it but it could be worth combining it with over 2.5 goals.
Visitors Brentford have been involved in some high-scoring fixtures of late with their last four games producing a total of 16 goals.
TIP 4 - WEST HAM TO BEAT BURNLEY @ 8/13
West Ham endured a stuttering start to 2024 but have got back on track in the Premier League in the last couple of weeks and they should see off Burnley.
This is exactly the kind of fixture the Hammers would have wanted after what could be a gruelling Europa League clash away to Freiburg on Thursday, and they can make the most of home advantage against one of the division's weakest clubs.
Burnley have won only three games in the Premier League this term and are on a run of four successive defeats, having scored just one goal in that streak.
They lost 2-1 at home to West Ham in November and could again be beaten by the Hammers.
TIP 5 - BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE & OVER 2.5 GOALS IN LIVERPOOL V MANCHESTER CITY @ 3/5
This is a huge clash in the context of the Premier League title race.
A win for Liverpool would see the Reds extend their advantage over Manchester City to four points, while a win for Pep Guardiola's visitors would mean they return to the summit.
City head into the game having not lost a game since December 6th and they have key personnel Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland fit and firing again.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are depleted by injuries but have home advantage and the result could be worth swerving.
Instead, a good pick is both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.
Both teams have scored in eight of the last nine meetings between these clubs and three of their four encounters last season featured over 2.5 goals.
