Matchday 28 of the Premier League features several exciting matchups with implications for the title race, Champions League qualification, and the relegation battle.
We dive into the stats, analyse the odds, and make some savvy bets as we break down the potential outcomes of selected games.
Nottingham – Manchester City, Saturday, 12:30 pm
The Nottingham Forest v Manchester City fixture has traditionally been dominated by the Citizens, with Manchester City remaining unbeaten in their last nine encounters against Forest.
Surprisingly, a Manchester City victory is priced at 17/20 on bet365, which seems generous considering only Liverpool and Arsenal have won more points than Pep Guardiola’s side in 2025.
Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, are struggling with a recent three-game winless streak in the Premier League. Given Manchester City's midweek rest following their Champions League exit, they are poised to deliver a composed and commanding performance.
Tip: Manchester City to win @17/20
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Manchester City beats Nottingham regardless of the score.
Liverpool – Southampton, Saturday, 3:00 pm
As Liverpool prepares for their second leg against PSG next week, manager Arne Slot may opt to rotate his squad, giving some key players a well-deserved rest.
Nonetheless, a comfortable victory for Liverpool remains highly likely, given Southampton's dismal record at Anfield. The Saints have suffered six consecutive defeats at this venue, conceding an aggregate of 19 goals while scoring just one.
While a Liverpool win is almost a certainty, you can enhance your odds from a straightforward Liverpool victory at 3/25 to a more appealing 1/2 by backing them to lead at both half-time and full-time.
Tip: Liverpool to win at half time/full time @1/2
Bet Explanation: This bet wins if Liverpool lead at half time and also lead at full time. For example, if Liverpool are to lead 1-0 at half time and increase the scoreline to 3-1 by full time, then this bet works.
Chelsea – Leicester, Sunday, 2:00 pm
Cole Palmer is currently navigating his longest goal and assist drought since joining Chelsea, having gone without a contribution in his last six Premier League games.
Despite this, manager Enzo Maresca remains confident that Palmer will soon rediscover his form. The upcoming match against Leicester City, with their porous defense, offers the Englishman a prime opportunity to break his scoring drought.
With odds of 57/100 on bet365 for Palmer to attempt two or more shots on target, it's likely he will continue to be aggressive in front of goal, especially in the absence of Nicolas Jackson. This prediction is supported by his recent performance at Stamford Bridge, where he has taken three or more shots in each of his last eight league games, including seven in each of his last two matches against West Ham and Southampton.
Tip: Palmer to attempt 2+ shots on target to @57/100
Bet Explanation: This bet wins if Palmer plays at least two shots on target during the match against Leicester.
Tottenham – Bournemouth, Sunday, 2:00 pm
This match promises to be an exciting affair, with both teams boasting potent attacking forces. Bournemouth has recently shown defensive vulnerabilities, conceding at least once in each of their last five games.
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which has hosted the second-most Premier League goals this season with 52, is set to stage another thrilling encounter.
Given the open nature of the game, backing over 2.5 goals at 2/5 on bet365 appears to be a good choice, offering a promising return on investment.
Bet explanation: The bet is winning if 3 or more goals in total are scored, no matter who scores.
Manchester United – Arsenal, Sunday, 4:30 pm
Despite Arsenal's recent scoring struggles in the Premier League, their impressive 7-1 victory over PSV in the Champions League highlights their ability to unleash potent attacking performances against any opponent.
As they face Manchester United, who are still adjusting under new manager Ruben Amorim, Arsenal holds a significant advantage.
A safe bet is backing Arsenal to score at least one goal at Old Trafford, available at 1/5 on bet365. This confidence is bolstered by their consistent record of scoring in each of their last 10 Premier League away matches against Manchester United, netting 13 goals in the process.
Tip: Arsenal total goals over 0.5@1/5
Bet Explanation: This bet wins if Arsenal scores at least one goal against Manchester United. The result of the match doesn’t matter.
West Ham – Newcastle, Monday, 8:00 pm
Under Graham Potter's guidance, West Ham has achieved back-to-back clean sheets against Arsenal and Leicester, showcasing their defensive resilience. However, despite these shutouts, they have conceded an average of 1.61 Expected Goals (xG) during this period, highlighting the challenges they face in maintaining defensive solidity.
The London Stadium has been the stage for tense encounters, and the upcoming match against Newcastle will present a unique attacking challenge, particularly with Alexander Isak in fine form.
Given that the last three meetings between West Ham and Newcastle at the London Stadium have seen both teams find the net, it wouldn't be surprising if this match follows a similar pattern, with goals likely from both sides.
Tip: Both Teams to Score @57/100
Bet Explanation: This bet wins if both West Ham and Newcastle score at least one goal during the game. So a 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2 etc. are all winning bets.
