Premier League Predictions…

Here are our predictions for the weekend, along with Chris Sutton’s from BBC Sport:

STAT ATTACK:

There are three local derbies on the card this weekend, all live on TV. Let’s take a look at the historical head-to-head stats for these clashes…

Arsenal v Tottenham – Sat 12.30pm, BT Sport

Manchester City v Manchester United – Sun 2pm, Sky Sports

• City have won the Most Corners in 9 of their last 11 league meetings v United

Leicester v Nottingham Forest – Mon 8pm, Sky Sports

• The Foxes and Forest haven’t met in the league since 2014. In last season’s FA Cup tie (Feb this year), there were Over 2.5 Goals, with Forest prevailing 4-1

The Weekend Acca…

Every week we build an accumulator from the matching selections in our Predictor grid, across the Match Result and Goals markets. Rolling up for some big odds…

So far, we’ve done pretty well, and come close to the jackpot more than once. With 70% of the individual legs proving successful. And many of you cashing-out for a nice profit from the 119/1 acca in Week 2.

Week 1 @ 40/1 – 6 out of 8 winning legs
Week 2 @ 119/1 – 8 out of 9
Week 3 @ 120/1 – 6 out of 9
Week 4 @ 13/1 – 6 out of 7
Week 5 @ 79/1 – 7 out of 9
Week 6 @ 22/1 – 2 out of 6
Week 7 @ 13/2 – 2 out of 5

Here’s our Week 8 combo. These picks all match-up across the predictions from myself, my Across the Leagues colleague Shaun, and Chris Sutton at the BBC:

Arsenal v Tottenham – Over 2.5 Goals
Bournemouth v Brentford – Under 2.5 Goals
Crystal Palace v Chelsea – Both Teams to Score: Yes
Fulham v Newcastle – Both Teams to Score: Yes
Liverpool v Brighton – Liverpool to win
Southampton v Everton – Under 2.5 Goals
West Ham v Wolves – West Ham to win
Man City v Man Utd – Man City to win
Leicester v Nottingham Forest – Over 2.5 Goals

• The nine-fold acca pays 103/1 with Betway 

We’ll be back next week with more stats and predictions for you.

Have a good weekend – and enjoy the football…

Best wishes,

Oliver Upstone
