The last of the afternoon games is a London Derby with West Ham welcoming Crystal Palace to the London Stadium. Graham Potter took charge of the Hammers this week and made his first game a winning one Tuesday night against Fulham (3-2). The run of three defeats on the bounce came to a halt and the home side will be hoping they can build their momentum and club up to the top half of the table.
Oliver Glasners Palace side won 2-0 on the road at strugglers Leicester Wednesday evening and hope they can build on that with a London Derby win Saturday, they are on a four game unbeaten run in the league winning two and drawing two. This looks to be a game that could go either way but goals look to be on the cards and the 8/11 for both teams to score with credit card betting sites looks very fair.
Betting for this match: West Ham 8/5, Crystal Palace 7/4 and the Draw 12/5 Kick off 3pm
The evening game Saturday comes from The Emirates where Arsenal welcome Aston Villa. Mikel Arteta’s team bounced back from a FA Cup exit to Man United with 2-1 victory against North London rivals Tottenham midweek. They haven’t suffered defeat at home all season and their league position shows that with them sitting in 2nd and 4 pts behind leaders Liverpool. Kai Havertz will be hoping he can add to his season’s goal tally of seven.
It will be a return to the Emirates for former Arsenal boss Unai Emery whose Villa side have won their last two league games at home to Leicester and more recently away at Everton which put a halt to their poor run of form away from home in the league which was five defeats on the bounce.
Arsenal have a good lead in the head to head winning 13, drawing 1 and losing 6 so this will be an extremely tough game for the visitors but if they can get on the score sheet early it will be game on. This game looks to have goals in with both teams not shy of sitting back and I can see great value in Arsenal to win and both teams to score which is currently 9/4 with non UK casinos.
Betting for the match: Arsenal ½, Aston Villa 6/1 and the Draw 10/3 Kick off 5.30pm Live on Sky Sports.
Good luck with your predictions for the fixtures and please remember to gamble responsibly.
