The EPL took a break last weekend for some international exhibition matches in the lead up to this year’s World Cup. It returns this weekend with some great matchups in store. We take a look at the best games of the weekend and give our tips below.
EPL Week 32 Betting Tips
Crystal Palace vs Liverpool (Saturday 10.30pm AEDT)
Crystal Palace have lost four of their last five games and are now staring down the barrel of relegation. They currently sit just 2 points clear of the bottom three and have another tough matchup this weekend as they host the red-hot Liverpool.
Liverpool have a 7-1-2 record over their last 10 games and now look to have secured a place in the top four for the 2017-18 season. They sit seven points clear of Chelsea in fifth place and have a fairly easy run coming up with Palace, Everton, Bournemouth, West Brom and Stoke in their next five games.
Crystal Palace actually have a decent record against Liverpool, winning three of their six games against the Reds. All of those wins, however, came at Anfeild, while Palace have lost their last three to Liverpool at home. We think Liverpool get a comfortable win here.
TIP: Liverpool -1 - $2.10 at Sportsbet
Everton vs Manchester City (Sunday 2.30am AEDT)
Since a 4-3 loss to Liverpool back in January, Manchester City are undefeated in the Premier League with great wins over Leicester, Arsenal and Chelsea. They did lose to Basel in a relative dead rubber Champions League game, but after a week off they should be fresh and back to their best as they attempt to become the first team in EPL history to accumulate 100 points in a season.
Everton have won their last two games and currently sit 9th on the table with a 11-7-13 record. The Toffees have a great home record against Manchester City, wining six of their last nine games at Goodison Park against the Citizens with two losses and one draw.
Manchester City start as $1.33 favourites here away from home. Not much value for them here and given the Toffees great record against them in recent history, we are going to take the value pick here and go with Everton with the double chance.
TIP: Double chance (Everton and draw) - $3.25 at Sportsbet
Chelsea vs Tottenham (Monday 1am AEDT)
This is a massive game for Chelsea as they currently sit 5 points behind Tottenham in fourth place. Their top four aspirations are still alive with 8 games still to play in the EPL but this is a must win if they want to book passage to next season’s Champions League.
Tottenham have been fantastic in the EPL recently, going undefeated through their last 10 games and winning their last four on the trot. The absence of Harry Kane through injury will be a blow to Tottenham though, as the star striker leads the league with 23 goals this season but will be out for the clash against the Blues.
It’s an absolute must win here for Chelsea, and even though they have been lacking some form of late, winning just four of their last 10 games, we think they have what it takes to get it done at home here.
TIP: Chelsea to win - $2.20 at Ladbrokes
