BETMGM GOLDEN GOALS MD7: MORE MISERY FOR MAN UTD?

It is a huge weekend for Ruben Amorim and Manchester United.

Defeat against Sunderland would be unthinkable for the Red Devils and could mean yet another change at the helm at Old Trafford.

Elsewhere on Golden Goals Matchday 7, Manchester City travel to Brentford, the side that handed the latest defeat to Amorim’s men last week, while Leeds host Tottenham and Arsenal are at home to West Ham.

Liverpool look to bounce back from a loss at Crystal Palace when they go to Chelsea and Ange Postecoglou searches for his first win in charge of Nottingham Forest at St James’ Park against Newcastle.

Remember, successfully predicting the scorelines in these games could net you up to £250,000. The best part? Getting as few as two scores correct could mean one of several prizes heading your way, ranging from Free Bets to a share of £5,000 cash!

Fancy added insight ahead of making your picks? Here’s how we see things playing out…

Leeds 1-2 Tottenham

Leeds have made a solid return to the Premier League. Unbeaten at Elland Road and only a last-gasp leveller from Bournemouth prevented an impressive win last time out.

Saturday’s early kick-off brings Tottenham to Yorkshire off the back of a 2-2 draw at Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League.

Spurs have won their last four against Leeds and scored four goals in both of their last two visits here.

The Whites, though, have conceded just twice in three home games this season and are tougher to beat than their 21-loss campaign the last time they were in the Premier League.

Just three home league defeats in their two Championship seasons since then has reaffirmed Elland Road as a fortress and Tottenham know they will be in for a game when they travel north.

That said, Spurs have started well under Thomas Frank. They haven’t lost on the road, scoring twice each time, and have already impressively dispatched Manchester City at the Etihad.

Both teams have scored in four of the last five meetings, while Tottenham striker Richarlison has three goals in the league so far and five shots on target.

Providing potential value, therefore, is the 17/4 for Richarlison to have a shot on target here in a Tottenham win in which both sides find the net.

Manchester United 1-2 Sunderland

At the risk of repeating ourselves, Manchester United are in disarray.

Last week’s loss to Brentford was Ruben Amorim’s 19th in 49 games as manager and another defeat here could be his last.

They host a Sunderland side buoyed by a first win on the road at Nottingham Forest last week and with just one Premier League loss to their name so far.

Regis Le Bris takes his fifth-placed Black Cats to Old Trafford looking for a second win on the ground since 1968. They will believe they have every chance of getting it.

Sunderland have conceded just four goals, seven goals fewer than United, in their opening six games and have had two impressive shutouts at Forest and Crystal Palace already.

Indeed, Robin Roefs has the second-highest number of saves in the league with 20. The hosts, meanwhile, are yet to keep a clean sheet.

And, in Granit Xhaka, Sunderland have a captain with the experience and the ability to win big games. His 20 ball recoveries is a league-high while only Jack Grealish has more assists.

They’ll be looking to their leader again for what could be a famous victory – and it’s an enticing 25/1 for him to assist here in a memorable Sunderland win.

Arsenal 3-0 West Ham

Last week Arsenal put down a marker against one of their toughest opponents in recent seasons in Newcastle.

This Saturday they’ll have the chance to do it again – against a fellow London side that has beaten them twice at the Emirates in back-to-back seasons.

Will history repeat itself in north London? Not to burst the West Ham bubble too early… but we don’t think so.

The Gunners boast the joint-best defence in the league, conceding just three goals in six matches. West Ham, by contrast, have let in 14 goals, eight of which have come from, wait for it… corners.

Arsenal vs West Ham corners stats

No team has scored more from corners since the 2023/24 season than Arsenal’s 36, which includes the six they have already registered this season following Gabriel’s header in the 2-1 win at St James’ Park.

Past defeats to West Ham have been followed by emphatic ripostes, with Arsenal hammering them 6-0 and 5-2 in both return fixtures. And with their defence in form and set-piece threat in full swing, Arsenal to win 3-0 makes sense.

Lock in a 2/1 Bet Builder for the occasion comprising Arsenal to win, over 2.5 goals and both teams to score no if you’re also backing the Gunners.

Chelsea 2-2 Liverpool

For a couple of teams that were among the pre-season title favourites, it’s been a rough few weeks.

Chelsea suffered a second consecutive Premier League defeat with just 10 men on the field. Remarkably, the run of reds continued in the 1-0 Champions League win over Benfica on Tuesday with Joao Pedro sent off in injury time.

One man who has stepped up to the plate in recent weeks is Enzo Fernandez. The Argentine has now registered 18 non-penalty goal contributions in all competitions in 2025, the most of any central midfielder in the Premier League during this time.

Liverpool are also doing some head-scratching for the first time in what seems like an age.

Consecutive defeats in the Premier League and Champions League – combined with the general level of performance since the start of the campaign – is causing some concern in the fanbase.

It’s only the second time under Arne Slot that his team have lost consecutive games. You have to go back to the spring of 2023 under Jurgen Klopp when the Reds last lost three in a row.

The last five games between these two has produced 15 goals. With the form of Fernandez and the history of this fixture fresh in mind, a 12/1 Bet Builder of both teams to score, the match the end in a draw and Fernandez to score or assist works well.

Newcastle 3-1 Nottingham Forest

Two late goals from Arsenal’s Mikel Merino and Gabriel in the final 10 minutes consigned Newcastle to just two wins in eight games in all competitions on Matchday 6.

The Magpies still have one of the best defences in the league – only Arsenal have a better xG against value – but they have struggled to score goals with just four in the Premier League so far.

No team has scored fewer, with Aston Villa and Wolves joining them at the bottom.

However, in Nottingham Forest, they may have a willing dance partner.

Ange Postecoglou’s side have not kept a clean sheet since the Australian took the helm, conceding nine goals in six games in all competitions in that run.

Set pieces have been a problem for Postecoglou in the Premier League. His teams, both Tottenham and Nottingham Forest, have conceded 34 goals by such means.

Can Eddie Howe’s charges exploit that perceived weakness? In Dan Burn and Nick Woltemade – a combined 13ft of aerial threat – they certainly have the vertical means.

With that in mind, a Bet Builder of Newcastle to win and Woltemade to score a header at odds of 15/2 or, alternatively, Newcastle to win and Burn to score a header at odds of 33/1 could be the shout.

Brentford 1-2 Manchester City

The Brentford Community Stadium has been anything but a routine stop for Manchester City.

Since the Bees’ promotion City’s record here is finely balanced with two wins, one draw and one loss.

Recent history promises goals though: the last two encounters at this ground have produced a wild 2-2 draw and a 3-1 City win.

Brentford’s sharp start to the season, having scored in all eight of their games, will test a City side returning from a midweek Champions League trip to Monaco.

Man City's last 10 games after Europe

The Citizens’ record after European ties has been patchy of late, with five losses in their last 10 such fixtures offering the Bees real hope of getting on the scoresheet – as they have in three of the last four meetings between the clubs.

However, City’s quality is undeniable. They lead the league in goals and shots on target and, while Erling Haaland has only provided an assist here before, three goals in his last four against Brentford suggest he’s due to net one in west London.

With a goal landing in each half in six of Brentford’s last seven home games, the stage is set for an entertaining clash and our 16/5 Bet Builder combining a City win, both teams to score, a Haaland anytime goal and a goal in each half looks a smart play as a result.
