The Premier League standings show that the only two teams left in the title race are Arsenal and Manchester City. While the Gunners have a solid edge over the team from Etihad, the Citizens have no room for error anymore. They have to stay in the hunt and win games; otherwise, the title is off the table.
Apart from these two units, and their battle for the championship crown, there is other interesting action in the Premiership. Liverpool is out of the zone, which leads to the Champions League, while on the other side, Manchester United looks fantastic, and the Devils are 4th, chasing Aston Villa in third place.
Chelsea is in good form, Brentford proved to be a very tough team, while Newcastle keeps falling in the standings.

Brentford VS Arsenal
The derby match of the round features Brentford and Arsenal. The hosts are in very good shape, beating two big teams, Aston Villa and Newcastle, both on the road. The Bees look good, sharp, and very lethal upfront, which is a threat for Arsenal.
Meanwhile, the Gunners rolled over Sunderland, beating the Black Cats, 3-0. Arteta’s team has 4 wins in a row, the last three without conceding a goal, meaning Arsenal has gotten back its previous form.

This will be a tough, tight matchup, with a max of three goals. Arsenal’s defense is rock-solid, and four of the last 5 games Brentford played saw under 2.5 goals.
Tottenham VS Newcastle
It’s safe to say that these two teams are the EPL’s biggest disappointments this season. Thomas Frank could easily be departed if he loses here, while on the other side, Eddie Howe’s job is safe, though nobody knows for how long.
Both teams have terrible defenses, allowing multiple goals in streaks, so both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals are the best possible pick for this event.
Manchester City VS Fulham
The Citizens squeezed out a win on the road over Liverpool, keeping their title chances alive and gaining massive momentum. Their next rival is very dangerous and tough as nails, Fulham.
The first meeting of the year saw fireworks at Craven Cottage, with City winning 4-5. Fulham did lose 3 of the last 4 events, but they are nasty. Four of their past 5 matches saw both teams netting and over 2.5 hits.
Man City is ultra-efficient at home, and we believe they are going to win this one without problems, covering a 1.5-goal handicap.
Sunderland VS Liverpool
The Black Cats are the 4th best home team in the Premiership, and that’s what frightens Liverpool’s fans. That and the fact that their team plays without its best player, Dominik Szoboszlai. Sunderland also has the third-best defense at home, but their previous four matches all saw over 2.5 hits.
Man United are currently the most in-form team in the Premier League. Their last five games have included:

▪️Arsenal

Liverpool has nothing to wait for, the Reds need three points and can’t make any calculations yet go for the win. Looking at their current form, they both score and concede, which is why we bet on both teams netting.
West Ham VS Manchester United
Both teams are fired up and firing on all cylinders these days. West Ham has 4 wins in the last 5 matches, while United has 4 triumphs in a row. Both teams are scoring plenty of goals, and we can’t say that the defenses are reliable like that, which is the main reason to take both teams netting and over 2.5 goals for this event.
