Premier League Predictions & News
Premier League Betting Preview: Battle for the top four intensifies
Darwin Nunez’s stoppage time brace against Brentford ensured Liverpool come into this weekend’s Premier League action with a six-point advantage at the top of the table.
Arsenal missed the chance to cut that gap as they let a two-goal lead slip against Aston Villa, a result that allowed Nottingham Forest to move level with them in second.
Chelsea complete the top four, with Man City, Newcastle and Bournemouth all within touching distance of Enzo Maresca’s side.
There’s no change at the bottom after defeats for Southampton, Leicester and Ipswich. Wolves remain out of the relegation zone on goal difference, while Everton pulled four clear after their first win of David Moyes’ second spell.
This weekend’s big game comes from the Etihad as Man City host Chelsea tomorrow, while Liverpool welcome Ipswich to Anfield. Sunday sees Spurs face Leicester and Man Utd travel to Fulham.
