What are the best bets for Crystal Palace vs Fulham?
Fulham to win
Palace are winless in five across all competitions and have lost three straight league games. Home form has been an issue, with no wins in their last five at Selhurst Park and no goals scored in three of those matches. Fulham arrive on a three-game league winning run and have won their last three away league fixtures, including at West Ham and Burnley.
Fulham to score first
Palace have failed to score in the last four home meetings with Fulham, while the visitors have scored in each of their last six league matches.
What are the best bets for Liverpool vs Leeds?
Liverpool to win
Liverpool have won three of their last five league games and remain strong at Anfield. They have scored at least twice in four of their last five home league matches and edged Leeds earlier this season in a high-scoring draw away.
Over 2.5 goals
Leeds have scored in each of their last five league games and were involved in a 3-3 draw with Liverpool earlier this month. Their last five league matches have averaged over three goals per game.
What are the best bets for Brentford vs Tottenham?
Both teams to score
Brentford have scored at least three goals in four of their last five home league games but have not kept a home clean sheet since August. Tottenham remain one of the strongest away sides in the league and have scored in seven of their last eight league trips.
Over 2.5 goals
Each of Brentford’s last five home league matches has gone over this line, while Spurs’ away games have also produced regular chances at both ends.
What are the best bets for Sunderland vs Manchester City?
Manchester City -1.5
City have won five straight league games and scored three or more goals in four of those wins. They beat Sunderland 3-0 earlier this month and have won their last five meetings with the Black Cats by a combined margin of 12 goals to two.
Manchester City to score over 2.5 goals
City have scored at least three goals in four of their last five league matches, while Sunderland are missing several regulars and conceded three in the reverse fixture.
