Welcome to your ATL Extra weekend email...
It’s FA Cup semi final weekend at Wembley, with Chelsea v Tottenham on Saturday (BBC) and Arsenal v Man City on Sunday (BT Sport).
We’re left with just the 6 games in the Premier League but that hasn’t stopped me, Paul Merson or Mark Lawrenson from chipping in with match Predictions. You can join in, too – see below.
But first, let’s take a look at the stats for the Super Sunday 4pm game...
THE BIG GAME – Liverpool v Crystal Palace
Premier League, Sun 4.30pm – Sky Sports
Match odds:
Liverpool 1/2 (1.50) Draw 7/2 (4.50) Palace 6/1 (7.00)
This is 3rd v 15th in the Premier League table and the Home Win is odds-on at 1/2 (1.50). But Liverpool have won just 2 of their last 6 league encounters with Palace – and Sam Allardyce’s team have beaten both Arsenal and Chelsea in recent weeks...
The Match Result betting looks a bit hairy to me. Liverpool are in must-qualify-for-the-Champions-League mode – while Palace have been in Relegation Escape form.
Looking at the alternative markets, the stats on our Across the Leagues members-only website tell us that...
- Liverpool have kept just 4 Clean Sheets at home all season (25%), and Palace have kept just 2 Clean Sheets in their 16 away games (13%)
- Liverpool are the top-rated team in the Premier League for Both Teams to Score bets, with a 75% home record
Goals expected at both ends, then. And a look at the previous meetings shows each of the last 9 games in all comps between Liverpool and Palace have paid out on both Over 2.5 Goals and Both Teams to Score.
And in the Corners, Cards & Booking Points stats...
- Liverpool have won the Most Corners in 75% of home games. And landed -3 and -4 Corner Handicap bets have paid out in 4 of their last 5 at Anfield
- Liverpool haven’t received the Most Bookings in any of their last 5 home games
Several bookies are offering Goals, Corners, Cards & Bookings markets for Liverpool v Palace – including William Hill, Marathonbet and Skybet.
