Premier League Matchweek 7 key predictions - Will Sunderland script the end game for Amorim’s torrid run at Utd?

As the Premier League action unfolds this weekend, football fans and punters alike have plenty to consider ahead of key fixtures.

Here are the briefs of the tips provided by football betting expert and top tipster Lewis Jones to Sky Sports on Premier League matches.

Tottenham's set-piece prowess stands out as a prime betting opportunity when they visit Leeds on Saturday at 12:30pm. Since Thomas Frank’s arrival, Spurs have developed a significant threat from dead balls — an area where Leeds have been notably vulnerable. The Yorkshire side concedes 1.7 shots per game from set-pieces and have already allowed four goals in this manner, including a late equaliser last weekend. A 2-2 draw is the predicted outcome.

Later on Saturday, Arsenal host West Ham with creative midfielder Eberechi Eze expected to cause problems. Eze’s unpredictability and eye for goal add a refreshing spark to an Arsenal side that can sometimes appear too methodical. With more touches in dangerous areas, he’s tipped to continue his recent form of shots on target, and Arsenal are favoured to win 2-0.

Manchester United’s home clash with Sunderland at 3pm sees punters wary despite United’s impressive expected goals stats, which are somewhat misleading due to the team often creating chances while behind in matches. Sunderland’s resilience makes them a good bet to avoid defeat, with a 2-1 win predicted in their favour.

Chelsea and Liverpool meet at 5:30pm in what promises to be a tightly-contested game. The markets favour over 2.5 goals, but tactical caution from Chelsea’s Arne Slot and Liverpool’s defensive vulnerabilities suggest a low-scoring draw of 1-1.

Sunday’s early kickoffs bring attention to Burnley’s new signing Florentino, who is expected to rack up fouls given his aggressive style in midfield. Aston Villa face Burnley with a 2-1 scoreline forecast. Meanwhile, Newcastle’s Sandro Tonali is highlighted as a key attacking threat in their home game against Nottingham Forest. Tonali’s goal threat, combined with his creativity, has led to a predicted 3-1 Newcastle victory.

Crystal Palace, facing their first modern-era European campaign, are unlikely to maintain Premier League consistency due to added fixtures, so Everton’s 6/4 home win looks a smart bet following Palace’s midweek trip to Poland, with a predicted score of 2-1.

Brighton face Wolves in a game where the market may overrate the Seagulls. Brighton’s defensive frailties and inconsistent pressing make Wolves a solid bet on the draw no bet at 7/4, with a 2-1 score predicted.

Finally, Brentford host Manchester City in a fixture ripe for betting on fouls. City’s Jeremy Doku has been fouled frequently, while Brentford’s aggressive defender Michael Kayode looks likely to concede multiple fouls. The game is tipped to finish 3-1 in favour of City.

With tactical nuances and betting value to exploit, this weekend’s Premier League matches promise intrigue on and off the pitch. (With inputs from Agencies)
