EPL Week 21 Betting Tips
Tottenham vs West Bromwich Albion (Saturday 11.30pm AEDT)
The Spurs were able to snap the winning streak of Chelsea last weekend and it has done the side a great deal of good as they have moved into third position no the ladder while it would have boosted the confidence of the team a great deal. The Spurs attack is beginning to build with Dele Alli contributing from the midfield in the goal scoring department. Meanwhile the Spurs are still one of the best defensive teams in the league and have only conceded 14 goals in 20 games.
They are facing West Bromwich who would be very pleased with their season to date. The side is coming off a two game winning streak and are sitting in 8th position on the ladder. However, the side is still a level below the Spurs and on the road they won’t be able to cause an upset.

Leicester City vs Chelsea (Sunday 4.30am AEDT)
The defending champions are facing off with the favourites to lift the crown this season. These two teams have basically flipped their scripts from last year. N’Golo Kante is a big reason behind the change as he has been a great signing by the Blues while the Foxes miss the defensive midfielders high work rate. The Foxes have conceded 31 goals this year and have found the back of the net just 24 times. They have won just one of their last five games and it will be a tough ask to earn the three points in this one, despite playing at home.
Chelsea are fresh off of losing their winning streak as the Spurs were able to overcome them. However, the side will be looking to bounce back and cement their position on the top of the table.

Everton vs Manchester City (Monday 12.30am AEDT)
These two sides will be without one of their key players with Idrissa Gueye unavailable for Everton as he is playing at the Africa Cup of Nations while Fernandinho is supsended and available for City.
This is a match up that Manchester City has dominated in recent history as they haven’t lost to the Toffees in their past seven meetings, which includes four victories. However, their latest meeting resulted in a 1-1 draw.
Romelulu Lukaku will be vital if Everton are going to earn points in this one. He has scored three of the past five goals for Everton against City. We are predicting a tight battle and for the Toffess to snatch a late point with their home soil proving the equaliser in the meeting.

Manchester United vs Liverpool (Monday 3am AEDT)
This will be the 50th premier league meeting between the two powerhouse clubs and their rivalry continues to grow. Liverpool have had a strong season and despite injuries looking to derail it, they have remained in second position on the ladder.
Meanwhile the Red Devils have begun a resurgence and have won six straight league games. A lot of that is due to the improved performance of striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic as he has found his goal scoring boots while assiting for his teammates. However, he has had a midweek scare due to an illness but coach Jose Mourhinho expects his man to take the field and he still has a couple of days to heal.
We are predicting a tight tussle between these two sides with each team able to create a lot of opportunities. Liverpool have proved they can play at their best against strong opposition and we believe they will leave Old Trafford with the three competition points.
