With huge games taking place at the top of the table on Tuesday, the fight for placings in behind continues on Wednesday and there are some big rivalries reigniting. Arsenal and Tottenham meet in a North London derby, with both sides needing points for different reasons, whilst Leicester City and Crystal Palace meet in a big one down at the bottom. Elsewhere, Everton will be looking for a winning start under old but new manager David Moyes, as they take on Unai Emery’s Aston Villa.
Arsenal vs Tottenham – Arsenal to win
4/9 at Rhino Bet
It has been a tough couple of weeks for Arsenal, who have suffered some cup heartaches and have lost ground in the Premier League title race and a tough meeting with Tottenham awaits here. For Spurs, climbing out of the bottom half of the table will be their objective and their form this season has been so inconsistent, that seemingly all three results are well in play here. However, Arsenal are being written off by many punters and they have a habit of performing when the chips are down with most EPL betting sites.
Leicester City vs Crystal Palace – Crystal Palace to win
21/20 at Betzone
Crystal Palace have endured a tough first half of the campaign under Oliver Glasner, but they will be hoping to start hitting their stride in 2025, with Leicester City up next. Ruud van Nistelrooy hasn’t exactly hit the ground running at the King Power Stadium, and he will be hopeful that he can start turning things around in the East Midlands. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace are starting to show a few optimistic signs, and they will believe that they should be well clear of the relegation picture. This will be a good one, with the Eagles most likely to come out on top.
Everton vs Aston Villa – Everton to win
5/2 at Rhino Bet
The return of David Moyes at Everton feels like a hugely significant moment for the club, as they look to the Scot to rekindle the successes, he enjoyed at Goodison Park over a decade ago. His first game in the hot seat will be at home against Aston Villa, a side firmly in the mix for a Champions League spot again this season and who have been starting to find a way to win games of late. However, David Moyes at Goodison Park is always a tough nut to crack and the Scotsman’s return could start with a win.
