And lastly, we will take a look at the thrilling game between Southampton and Liverpool .
Swansea vs Manchester United and Tottenham vs West Ham
Swansea currently sit in 9th position with 34 points overall, which isn’t bad for a team with a limited budget. Although they managed to climb up on the latter, they couldn’t keep a steady form as in the last five games they notched only 1 win, while the rest of the games ended in 2 draws and 2 losses. For their clash with Manchester United they have been branded as outsiders 3.60 (13/5) per Bet365, despite the fact that they will be playing at home.
Louis van Gaal’s men are pushing hard to try and rediscover their winning ways and they now find themselves in 3rd position with 47 points in total. While playing away from Old Trafford they have sealed 3 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses, which means that they are susceptible to draws which is why Bet365 has set the draws for a tie at 3.60 (13/5). Although their record on the road is not convincing they still enjoy favorite status 1.95 (10/11).
The first game on Sunday will take place between Tottenham and West Ham where the former will try to use everything within their power to overcome their opponents. Mauricio Pochettino’s men have been give highly preferential chances 1.75 (3/4), due to their home record which has seen them win on 7 separate occasions while suffering only 2 draws and 4 losses.
West Ham on the other hand have been dealt underdog chances 4.33 (10/3), despite only sitting 2 places below Tottenham on the table. The Hammers are in 8th place with 28 points and have recorded 3 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses while playing away. That is why mobile betting sites have decided to set a draw between the two at 3.75 (11/4), an event that is rather likely.
Everton vs Leicester and Southampton vs Liverpool
Everton haven’t enjoyed the kind of success that they were hoping for at the beginning of the season. They currently stand in 12th with only 27 points and a form that is not very commendable (1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss). At their home ground Goodison Park, their record stands at 3 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses, stats that are not very convincing however they will square off against Leicester who are at the bottom of the league.
The Foxes have lost a staggering 10 times while playing away from home, where as the record of the games resulted in 1 draw and 2 wins. A tie 3.60 (13/5) between them and the Toffees seem to be out of the equation while a win 4.75 (15/4) for them is not on the cards as well. Everton have therefore been dealt favorable chances to win 1.73 (8/11), per Bet365.
Southampton will be tested against Liverpool and judging by performances of both sides in recent games, the former side is to win this encounter. The Saints have been a real surprise in the Premier League this season clinching 4th spot at the moment and carrying 46 points overall. At home they managed to record 7 wins, 3 draws and only 3 losses and that is why online sportsbooks in UK have given them great odds 2.50 (3/2).
The Reds on the other hand are languishing in 7th place with 42 points and their away record is quite unimpressive (6 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses). It is no surprise that Bet365 has given them odds of 2.80 (9/5) for this encounter, while a draw between the two has been set at 3.30 (23/10). In reality, the home side should be able to pull off a win against Liverpool considering their good form recently.
