Premier League Matchday 20 Preview: Pressure Mounts on Newcastle Boss

The hectic festive period in the Premier League concludes this weekend with another exciting round of matches scheduled to take place. 
 
There will be plenty of focus on the title race, with all of the main contenders fancied by football betting sites to pick up three points. 
 
Read on as we look at some of the best Premier League games on Matchday 20 to highlight the key betting angles to consider. 

Having successfully exploited the over 1.5 goals market in recent weeks, it makes sense to go have another attempt to bag a profit from UK betting sites. 
 
The games at Aston Villa, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Nottingham Forest, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and West Ham United are all expected to have two or more goals. 
 
The six-fold pays odds of around 2/1 and should deliver another tidy return to punters aiming to boost their bankroll for 2024. 

Aston Villa have emerged as unlikely title contenders under manager Unai Emery this season and look a good bet to end 2023 on a high note. 
 
Burnley have been woeful since winning promotion from the Championship and looked nailed on to make an immediate return to the second tier. 
 
Villa to win to nil is priced at 29/20 on several new betting sites, which looks to be one of the best Premier League bets this weekend. 

Four defeats in their last five matches have sent Newcastle sliding down to ninth in the table and sparked talk about Eddie Howe’s managerial future. 
 
Things do not get any easier this weekend, with the Magpies scheduled to travel to Merseyside to face table-topping Liverpool. 
 
Odds of 10/1 on numerous betting apps to finish in the bottom half of the table will disappear if Howe and his team fail to get their act together.
