Premier League Predictions…

Here are our predictions for this weekend, along with Chris Sutton at the BBC.

Just eight fixtures this time, due to Chelsea and Liverpool playing in the EFL Cup final on Sunday:

STAT ATTACK: Villa on the Handicap…

Aston Villa v Nottingham Forest

Saturday 3pm

Villa are ranked 2nd only to Arsenal when it comes to landing Most Corners bets this season. With the midlands club landing the Corners Match Bet in 68% of their Premier League games overall, and 9 times out of 12 at home (75%)...

In comparison, Forest are 2nd-bottom of our Premier League stats table for Most Corners results. And joint-last on the away numbers, with just one Most Corners win from their 12 road trips (8%).

• In the reverse fixture at Forest this season, Villa dominated the corner count, 10-0 
• Villa have covered a -3 Corner Handicap in their last 2 home league games v Bottom Half sides. With corners scores of 6-2 v Burnley, and 9-1 v Sheffield United
• Bets on opponents with a -3 Corner Handicap have paid out in 5 of Forest’s last 7 away league games. Including an 11-6 corners score to Bournemouth last time out on the road

Aston Villa -3 Corner Handicap is available at 23/20 (2.15) with William Hill, 11/10 (2.1) Boylesports, Evens (2.0) Paddy Power, Betfair Sportsbook. Market also available with the likes of Bet365, BetVictor, Unibet.

Note: Villa -3 Corner Handicap pays out if they win at least 4 corners more than Forest.
