EPL Best Bet: Arsenal ML over Leeds United (-185)

There is no need for Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal side to panic after last Sunday’s home defeat to Manchester United, as Michael Carrick has inspired a revival in United and they played well. Arsenal can get their title bid back on track by beating Leeds.
Arsenal’s defensive solidity means they can handle road missions like this one with a firm foundation for success. Arteta’s side have conceded just 9 goals away from home in the league this term, which is the best record of any team. One goal may be enough for the Londoners to take all 3 points from their trip to Yorkshire.
EPL Best Bet: Chelsea -1.5 over West Ham (+120)

Liam Rosenior has taken charge of 6 Chelsea matches since replacing Enzo Maresca as Blues chief, and his team has won 5 of them. Wednesday night’s glorious 3-2 victory at Napoli in the Champions League underlined the impact Rosenior has made.
Cole Palmer delivered a stunning cameo performance in Napoli on his return from injury, and the England star could be set to play a leading role in Saturday evening’s Stamford Bridge London derby. West Ham seem ill-equipped for the challenge of shackling Palmer and the rest of the magnificent Chelsea squad.
EPL Best Bet: Manchester United ML over Fulham (-175)

Joyous faces have suddenly appeared among Manchester United players and fans, as the Red Devils have moved into the top 4 of the Premier League for the first time in a long while. Michael Carrick has done a wonderful job since becoming interim manager at Old Trafford, and a 3rd consecutive victory could be coming on Sunday.
United beat Manchester City 2-0 and Arsenal 3-2, with Kobbie Mainoo joining Casemiro at the heart of the United midfield. This alliance, combining a young, dynamic Englishman with an ultra-experienced Brazilian, has made United a tough nut to crack. Expect the fun to continue for Carrick and his merry men.
EPL Best Bet: Aston Villa over Brentford (-106)

Aston Villa were on a streak of 11 consecutive home victories in all competitions before losing to Everton earlier this month. Unai Emery’s men have turned Villa Park into a fortress, and the Premier League high-flyers can make short work of Brentford on Sunday.
Villa have responded well to that setback against Everton and will go into this round of Premier League fixtures only 4 points off the top of the table. Brentford have lost their last 2 games, slumping to defeat at home to Nottingham Forest last Sunday. The Bees have lost 8 of their 11 league away games this term.
