Premier League Gameweek 36 Tips: 30/1 Accumulator
There are five Premier League matches scheduled for Saturday, with Bournemouth hosting Aston Villa in an intriguing evening meeting, then another five games on Sunday.
We have picked out the best bets from the weekend matches, creating a five-game accumulator which pays at 30/1.
Tip 1 – Manchester City -1 Handicap vs Southampton @ 12/25
Southampton are heading back to the Championship and are still searching for a new manager, while Manchester City have an FA Cup final to look forward to with Pep Guardiola committed to the club.
Saturday's meeting between the two sides at St Mary's Stadium appears a mismatch and City should be the staple of all Premier League accumulators. Guardiola's players are trying to impress their manager, looking for FA Cup final places and new contracts, and the Citizens appear to be finishing the season with a flourish. A big win could be on the cards, and handicap betting can help offer extra value.
Tip 2 – Wolves to beat Brighton @ 17/10
Wolves have won their last three home games and are unbeaten in their last four, so Brighton could be in for a difficult afternoon at Molineux. The Seagulls are being shown great respect in the betting markets, but Wolves have got their tails up and look the value option.
It is easy to forget that Wolves were bottom of the Premier League a few months ago, but they have battled their way up to a mid-table position. Part of the Wolves fightback came in Brighton - the Seagulls were 2-0 up with two minutes to play in October, but Wolves conjured a 2-2 draw. Vitor Pereira's side can upset the same opposition again.
Tip 3 – Brentford to beat Ipswich Town @ 8/13
Ipswich Town were relegated when they lost 3-0 to Newcastle at the end of last month - and the East Anglian side have looked like a Championship outfit all season. With morale low at Portman Road, expect Brentford to take advantage by claiming three points.
The Bees are unbeaten in their last five matches and have won their last three. Chelsea, Arsenal and Nottingham Forest have been opponents during this hot streak for Brentford, so Thomas Frank's team will expect to conquer a much weaker foe on Saturday.
Tip 4 – Bournemouth to beat Aston Villa @ 29/20
Bournemouth have gone five matches unbeaten and they defeated a full-strength Arsenal away from home last Sunday. The Cherries are putting the icing on the cake of a fantastic season and they can retain hopes of qualifying for European football by beating Aston Villa on Saturday evening.
Villa have had a long campaign, which has included Champions League commitments, and there have been signs of fatigue in the squad. Unai Emery may not be able to shuffle his pack sufficiently to take any points from this south-coast raid.
Tip 5 – Liverpool to beat Arsenal @ Evens
The Premier League title has gone to Anfield and the party will continue in Liverpool on Sunday afternoon. The players will be keen to put on a show as the team which provided the Reds with their biggest title challenge this term comes to the city.
Arsenal have headed north in low spirits. They were completely outplayed over two legs of their Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain, so the Gunners are going through a fifth consecutive year without any silverware. Under-fire manager Mikel Arteta will probably struggle to rally his troops in time for their most difficult away game of the domestic campaign.
