Premier League Matchday 21B Preview: Arsenal & Liverpool Look Good

The second batch of ‘winter break’ fixtures take place this weekend and feature some intriguing games involving teams at both ends of the table. 
 
Title-chasing Arsenal and Liverpool are both in action and will be desperate to pick up three points from their respective games to keep themselves in the mix. 
 
Read on as we look at some of the best Premier League games for the second half of Matchday 21 to highlight the key betting angles to consider. 

Highlights

  • Title chasers form a tempting double.
  • Over 2.5 goals treble worth a look.
  • Double chance market can pay off at Bramall Lane.

Arsenal & Liverpool Double Should Deliver

With reigning champions Manchester City winning last Saturday, title rivals Arsenal and Liverpool can ill-afford any slip-ups this weekend. 
 
The Gunners look a good bet to defeat Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium, while Liverpool will fancy their chances of winning at Bournemouth. 
 
The double can be backed at a best-priced 5/4 on several football betting sites and should deliver a winning return to punters. 

Over 2.5 Goals Market Could Pay Dividends

With the over 1.5 goals market failing to deliver last weekend, this is a good time to consider a slight change in approach to placing over/under bets. 
 
The games at Arsenal, Brentford and Brighton & Hove Albion could all hit over 2.5 goals and are well worth chancing in a treble. 
 
Odds of just over 4/1 on numerous new betting sites should give punters a good run for their money this weekend. 

Back Sheffield United to Avoid Defeat

Sheffield United have shown some fighting spirit since Chris Wilder returned as manager and they could get some points on the board this weekend. 
 
While visitors West Ham United have a decent away record, 20 goals conceded in 10 league games highlights that they can be vulnerable on the road. 
 
The Blades are priced at 8/11 to win or draw on several betting apps and look worth chancing against a team who made a miserable exit from the FA Cup at Bristol City in midweek.
