We are going to focus in on the weekend’s matches and pick out the five best bets to have from some of Saturday and Sunday’s biggest clashes.
Wolves v West Brom
Wolves are yet to really hit their straps this season but will still fancy their chances of getting all three points at 1/2 against a West Brom side who are still get used to life under new manager Sam Allardyce.
Wolves have won just one of their last five in the top flight, but have a better record at home, where they have beaten Chelsea and drawn with Tottenham in their last two matches. It would be no surprise to see them keep a clean sheet, and Wolves to win to nil looks great value at 23/20.
Best Bet: Wolves to win to nil @ 23/20
Leeds United v Brighton
Leeds have become the Premier League’s favourite underdog this season, and despite going out of the FA Cup against Crawley Town last weekend, Marcelo Bielsa will be desperate to bounce back with a win at EVS against struggling Brighton.
The Yorkshire side have won their last two home matches at Elland Road, including a 5-2 victory over Newcastle United. That makes the over 2.5 goals market look intriguing with a Leeds win at 9/5.
Best Bet: Leeds to win & over 2.5 goals @ 9/5
West Ham v Burnley
This clash of the Clarets has tended to be a one sided affair in recent years with West Ham, 10/11 for victory, winning the last three meetings without conceding.

The Hammers are also on a three-game unbeaten run and picked up one of their best results of the season last time out when beating Everton 1-0 at Goodison Park. It would be a shock to see that good form unravelled here, even with Burnley potentially sparked up under new ownership.
Best Bet: West Ham to win @ 10/11
Leicester City v Southampton
Few would have thought that both these sides would have been battling it out for a Champions League place this season, but that is the case heading into Sunday’s tie with Leicester City in 3rd and Southampton only three points behind them in 6th.
However, the Foxes have stuttered slightly in recent weeks and after drawing with Manchester United and Crystal Palace, only just edged past a bottom-half Newcastle United 2-1.
Their opponents Southampton, look a much tougher opposition to beat this year, and will be buoyed by their recent victory against champions Liverpool.
They also got the better of the last meeting with Leicester City at the King Power Stadium, when winning 2-1 in January 2020, thanks to a late winner from Danny Ings, who is now 40/1 to be the Premier League’s top scorer this season.
A Southampton win at 3/1 could well be on the cards again, which makes it one to watch on any football streaming platform this Sunday, with Ings scoring in a Southampton victory being the bet of the day at odds of 10/3.

Liverpool v Manchester United
They don’t come any bigger in the Premier League than Liverpool against Manchester United, and even more so when United have a chance to lay down a marker in the title race with victory.
For that reason, it’s likely to be a cagey affair, especially after Liverpool slipped up at Southampton last time. A draw looks a safe bet at 3/1 , and has actually happened in six of the last nine meetings, including two of the last three at Anfield.
Best Bet: Draw @ 3/1
