Premier League Matchday 8 Preview: Man City & Arsenal Are Banker Bets

Premier League bettors face a tricky conundrum this weekend, with the latest round of fixtures featuring several closely matched contests.

The standout game is on Sunday afternoon as table-topping Liverpool put their title credentials on the line against Chelsea.

Read on as we look at some of the top Premier League games for Matchday 8 to highlight the key angles to consider on football betting sites this weekend.

Highlights

  • Chelsea could make life difficult for Liverpool.
  • Short-priced double looks tempting.
  • Over 2.5 goals multiple worth chancing.

Chelsea Aiming to Derail Liverpool’s Title Bid

Liverpool head into the weekend with a one-point lead over Manchester City and Arsenal, but they may find it difficult to hang on to top spot.

While their title rivals both have winnable-looking away games, the Reds face a potentially difficult test at home to much-improved Chelsea.

Odds of 16/5 on several new betting sites for the game to finish as a draw will likely appeal to sports bettors looking for a value wager this weekend.

Man City and Arsenal Ready to Pounce

Man City and Arsenal will be keen to capitalise on any slip-ups elsewhere by winning their respective games at Wolverhampton Wanderers and Bournemouth.

Wolves have picked up just one point from their first seven matches this season and City could have a field day against their fragile defence.

Arsenal are also a good bet to triumph at Bournemouth and combined odds on betting apps of around 5/4 for both teams to win should pay dividends.

Over 2.5 Goals Four-Fold Looks Tempting

The over 2.5 goals market could be worth exploring this weekend, with several games having the potential to surpass that mark.

Seven Premier League teams have been involved in games with over 2.5 goals on five of their seven outings this season including Wolves, Aston Villa, Brighton & Hove Albion and Tottenham Hotspur.

Putting their respective games in an over 2.5 goals multiple generates a 4/1 four-fold which looks well worth backing on UK betting sites this weekend.
