To get you ready, let’s look at three of this weekend’s Premier League matches…

Brentford v Liverpool

Gtech Community Stadium

Saturday, 17th February @ 12:30

Since Brentford’s promotion to the Premier League in 2021, Liverpool have only lost once against the Bees (W3 D1). The Reds are 17/10 to win and both teams to score.

However, Jurgen Klopp’s team have never won at the Gtech Community Stadium. Could Thomas Frank’s side dent their title hopes? Brentford are 9/2 to win.

Ivan Toney has wasted no time returning to form. He’s 5/1 to open the scoring. The striker has netted three goals in four games, prompting calls for an England recall.

Diogo Jota has softened the blow of losing Mohamed Salah to AFCON and injury. He’s had six goal involvements in his last five league games (4 goals, 2 assists). Get EVS (was 1/3) on Jota to have a shot on target with Epic Odds.

Man City v Chelsea

Etihad Stadium

Saturday, 17th February @ 17:30

Saturday teatime sees Man City host Chelsea at the Etihad. The reverse fixture finished 4-4 in November, with Cole Palmer rescuing a point against his former club with a stoppage-time penalty.

Palmer is Chelsea’s top scorer this season with 10, while only Nicolas Jackson (9) has been booked more than the England forward (6). Get 14/1 on Palmer to score and be booked with Build #YourOdds.

Beating City at home is not easy, though. Pep Guardiola’s side haven’t lost any of their last 22 home Premier League matches (W18 D4) and have won six of their last eight against Chelsea. They’ve kept clean sheets in five of those six victories. A City win to nil is 13/10.

Erling Haaland bagged a brace when these sides met in November. He was at the double again last weekend as City beat Everton. The Norwegian is 3/1 to net two or more in this one.

Luton v Man Utd

Kenilworth Road

Sunday, 18th February @ 16:30

Have Man Utd turned a corner? The Red Devils are unbeaten in 2024 (all comps) and have won their last three in the Premier League – lifting them back into top-four contention.

Rasmus Hojlund has been a huge part of their uptick in form. He’s scored in five successive games in all comps, three of which have been the opening goal of the game. Can he continue that run against Luton? He’s 5/1 to score first.

United have won their last 11 Premier League matches against newly-promoted sides and Erik ten Hag has won all of his nine such games. It’s 21/20 United win and both teams score. Only Spurs (36) are on a longer scoring run in the top flight than Luton (11).

Get 11/2 on Carlton Morris to score with his right foot. Five of his six goals this season have come this way, four of which have been penalties. Will he get another chance from 12 yards? He’ll take it right footed if he does.
