The midweek fixtures are done and dusted as we charge into super set of weekend matches in the Premier League.
Our BetDeluxe round-ball experts have gone through all the games and best bets from Saturday to Tuesday.
west ham vs. chelsea
december 4th 11:30pm
A huge London Derby is set when West Ham United meets league-leader Chelsea.
Thomas Tuchel’s men are looking to hold fort atop of the league following a 2-1 win over Watford in the midweek fixtures, while the Hammers will want to return to winning ways after being held to a 1-1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Hammers have looked a genuine top four team through the first half of the season and their last home game against a top class rival was a 3-2 win over Liverpool.
That will instil some confidence in David Moyes’ men, but Chelsea will be buoyed by the return of Romelu Lukaku.
Chelsea looks an irresistible force in the league at the moment and Tuchel’s tactical nous is what will prove the difference here.
Prediction: West Ham 1 Chelsea 2
Suggested Bet: Chelsea head to head at $1.75
southampton vs. brighton & hove albion
december 5th 2:00am
Graham Potter takes his men to St Mary’s Stadium as Brighton & Hove Albion clash with Southampton on Sunday morning.
Potter has launched Brighton towards the top half of the Premier League and within touching distance of something not thought possible by man at the start of the season; qualifying for European football.
However, a nine-game run without a victory in the league will have them desperately trying to salvage something here in order to keep their European dreams alive.
The Saints, meanwhile, have really struggled to garner any consistent winning momentum and come into this clash following a 2-2 draw against Leicester.
Southampton has failed to register a win in its last three outings, but have the home-ground advantage here.
Prediction: Southampton 1 Brighton & Hove Albion 1
Suggested Bet: Draw at $3.2
newcastle vs. burnley
december 5th 2:00am
Newcastle is in search of its first Premier League victory when it welcomes Burnley to St James’ Park.
Eddie Howe has been in charge of the Magpies for three fixtures since the sacking of Steve Bruce, but is yet to unlock the key to three points.
Burnley, meanwhile, finds itself in a similar spot to Newcastle.
The Clarets are fighting a relegation battle, but have gone through their last five fixtures undefeated and a win would see them hop outside of the drop zone.
Market is suggesting this is going to be a tough game to split, but the Magpies might just have the advantage after having to deal with a red card in the 1-1 draw against Norwich midweek.
Newcastle looks the value at home.
Prediction: Newcastle 1 Burnley 0
Suggested Bet: Newcastle head to head at $2.25
wolverhampton vs. liverpool
december 5th 2:00am
Liverpool will aim to make more inroads towards the top of the table when it hits the road to take on Wolverhampton.
The Wolves will be no easy-beats in this game with coach Bruno Lage getting his side up to eighth on the Premier League table.
Lage has his side playing compact football and it has led to the Wolves only conceding 12 goals for the season which is equal third in the league.
Stopping Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Diogo Jota is going to be a monumental task for Lage and his squad.
No value for Liverpool at the head to head and it is tough to tip against them.
The unders market looks the play here.
Prediction: Wolverhampton 0 Liverpool 1
Suggested Bet: Total goals scored under 2.5 at $2.16
watford vs. manchester city
december 5th 4:30am
Manchester City packs its bags for a trip down Vicarage Road when it faces relegation embattled Watford.
City has been perched in second spot behind Chelsea for a while now and a win here will ensure they stay in the hunt for the Premier League trophy.
Watford has already taken a big Manchester scalp in the last fortnight after despatching Manchester United 4-1, but City is different beast.
The Citizens have won their last four games in a row and are still to build towards what feels to be a title-winning wave of momentum.
Prediction: Watford 0 Manchester City 3
Suggested Bet: Total goals scored over 2.5 $1.42
manchester united vs. crystal palace
december 5th 4:30am
Manchester United brings the confidence of a 3-2 win over Arsenal into its clash with Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
Palace coach Patrick Viera will have fond memories of playing at this ground with Arsenal and he might just feel a sense of revenge coming on after the defeat inflicted upon his old side on Friday morning.
United will definitely feel a load of its back with all the speculation surrounding their coach being eased off for at least another week.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal-scoring feats might be enough to get United the three points as he continues to carry the squad forward despite a lacklustre first half of the season.
Prediction: Manchester United 2 Crystal Palace 1
Suggested Bet: Manchester United head to head at $1.52
Leeds united vs. brentford
december 6th 1:00am
The midweek win for Leeds be the catalyst for a season revival as they ready themselves to face Brentford.
The collective breaths of Elland Road exhaled a sign of relief as Leeds United fired its way to a last gasp victory against Crystal Palace and take an important step away from the relegation zone.
Brentford, meanwhile, tumbled down to 12th after a 2-0 loss to Tottenham.
Leeds will be tasked with keeping Bees talisman, Ivan Toney quiet.
The Peacocks have had the wood over the Bees in recent years dating back to their days in the Championship.
Suggested Bet: Leeds United head to head at $1.90
tottenham vs. norwich
december 6th 1:00am
Antonio Conte and Tottenham Hotspur set their eyes on lowly-ranked Norwich City for their matchweek 15 clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
With the level not being so high at Tottenham according to Conte, the Spurs took a big stride forward with a tidy 2-0 victory over Brentford midweek and has a massive opportunity to get back into the Champions League race with a win over Norwich.
The Canaries have really battled all year, but are going through a three-game undefeated run in attempt to climb out of relegation.
However, dealing with Harry Kane and his partner-in-crime Son Heung-min might just be a bridge too far here.
Prediction: Tottenham 3 Norwich 0
Suggested Bet: Tottenham Hotspur head to head at $1.40
aston villa vs. leicester city
december 6th 3:30am
The change has been instant and the feeling around Villa Park is one of excitement as Steven Gerrard leads Aston Villa to its clash against Leicester City.
Gerrard has transformed Villa into a dangerous side despite only being at the managerial helm for less than a month.
Villa lost no pride or admirers in a 2-1 loss over powerhouse Manchester City in its most recent fixture and a game against an inconsistent Leicester comes at the perfect time.
Prediction: Aston Villa 2 Leicester City 1
Suggested Bet: Aston Villa head to head at $2.35
everton vs. arsenal
december 6th 3:30am
After suffering a heavy defeat in the Merseyside Derby, Everton welcomes Arsenal to Goodison in the final fixture of matchweek 15.
The Toffees were trounced 4-1 by neighbours Liverpool with fans leaving early and blowing off expletives to board members after the game.
Arsenal, meanwhile, coughed up an early lead against Manchester United to go down 3-2 and will now be tasked with finding winning form again.
Think the Gunners should collect the three points in the game with their form this season outweighing anything Everton has put together.
Prediction: Everton 1 Arsenal 2
Suggested Bet: Arsenal head to head at $2.10
