Following a 101-day hiatus, the Premier League returned during the past week, with the usual drama once again the order of the day. The goal-line technology system failed to deliver as Sheffield United were robbed of all three points at Aston Villa whilst VAR controversy reigned as Tottenham and Manchester United drew. There were wins for Manchester City and Chelsea, who kept up their respective pushes for a top 4 finish, whilst champions elect Liverpool couldn’t manage to take a significant step towards the title – only managing a draw with Everton. With fixtures coming thick and fast, there is still plenty to play for in the Premier League.
Here are our picks for the next round of fixtures in the Premier League:
Leicester City vs Brighton
Brighton – 3.94
Draw – 2.77
Match Prediction
Leicester have struggled for form during the second half of the season and whilst Brighton are fighting for their lives at the bottom of the table, the Foxes should have too much about them at home here.

Betxchange Best Bet – Both teams to score – YES – 0.86
Tottenham vs West Ham United
West Ham United – 3.70
Draw – 2.96

This could be a fiery London Derby and whilst West Ham have been in poor form all season, Tottenham are a side very low on confidence and the Hammers will fancy their chances of pinching a point here.

Wolves vs Bournemouth
Bournemouth – 4.57

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace – 10.91

Arsenal – 1.65
