Lee Phelps’ Premier League picks: Emirates set for a goal fest

The Premier League weekend has some cracking games with loads at stake all over the table and inconsistency rife among most sides.

First up let’s look at Everton vs Tottenham. The amount of people who keep saying to me “Everton wiped that 10 point deduction off straight away” but it makes no sense. The 10 points is there all season and their current form is really worrying. They’re averaging less points now than they were before the deduction and are in the bottom three.

They face a Spurs side who have goals in them and who’re back on track (mostly). I think the difference will be the fact Everton’s goals have dried up, so I’m with Spurs and I like Richarlison to add to the five goals in his last six games at around 2/1

Newcastle against Luton was an open-and-shut case a few months ago, but after the Hatters’ 4-0 win against Brighton I’m wondering if 13/2 is a little big for them at St James’ Park, where there’s an air of uncertainty all of a sudden.

I think an away win is probably asking a bit much but the score draw at 5/1 isn’t and Luton +1 on the handicap, at nearly 2/1, isn’t too shabby either.

Finally, a quick look at the Arsenal Liverpool game tomorrow afternoon. I know these games can be cagey sometimes, but I don’t see Klopp sending his team to the Emirates to get a draw – there’s too much emotion around Liverpool at the moment. I sense goals – the Merseyside reds have scored four in three successive league games and Arsenal have scored seven in their last two.

I’ve done an ambitious Build #YourOdds on Gabriel Jesus to score, be booked and assist a goal at 55/1, but for here let’s go with Liverpool to win and both teams to score at 4/1.
