After the excitement of the midweek Champions League football we're back to the domestic action again this weekend and we're looking at the 15th round of games from England's Premier League, giving out our top picks.
Liverpool vs. Tottenham:
Sportsbooks will see a ton of action on the biggest game of the weekend on Sunday evening as Tottenham Hotspur host Liverpool at White Hart Lane. The Spurs are on a run of four games unbeaten having claimed all drawn with Sunderland and then claimed all three points against Blackburn and Arsenal in the league before dispatching Werder Bremen 3-0 in the Champions League to book their place in the last sixteen of the tournament.
Liverpool are in better form than earlier in the season and they now sit 9th in the table, however their away form is poor and they have lost four of seven games on the road this season. With Spurs playing in midweek and Liverpool poor on the road, we see this one not being as action packed as expected and we're backing there won't be much scoring in this one.
The play is on the under 2.5 goals market @ 1.72.
Chelsea vs. Newcastle United:
The only other game being played on Sunday is Newcastle United v Chelsea at St. James Park. Newcastle are an odd side this season and have had some poor results as well as some excellent ones. High points have seen them beat Chelsea in the Carling Cup and Arsenal, Aston Villa and local rivals Sunderland in the league, but these have been countered by losses to Blackpool, Stoke and they are currently without a league win in three games following a 5-1 loss to Bolton. Chelsea have lost three of four in the Premier League, but did beat MSK Žilina in the Champions League this week to get back to winning ways. However, they are still vulnerable to conceding goals.
Because of that we're backing the over 2.5 goals market in this one @ 1.81.
Aston Villa vs. Arsenal:
The final game we're looking at is the Aston Villa v Arsenal game on Saturday lunchtime at Villa Park. Villa are not in good form and they have won just one of their last eight league games, and that came against a second string Blackpool side, but at home they are unbeaten all season with three wins and four draws to their name and will be confident of getting something against Arsenal. Arsenal are also not in good form and have lost four of their last six in both Premier and Champions Leagues.
However, in the Premier League this season, they have lost only to Chelsea and have won their last three games conceding just a single goal, and we're backing them to win again this weekend.
Our money is on an Arsenal win @ 1.92.
