Looking at Manchester City vs Leicester City Prediction, Manchester City will be hoping to close the gap on Leicester City when the sides meet at the Etihad Stadium in Saturday’s Premier League clash.
Pep Guardiola’s men are four points adrift of second spot and a full 14 away from leaders Liverpool, who are not in action this weekend thanks to their Club World Cup commitments.
Manchester City vs Leicester City Latest Odds
Having come out on top in four of the last five meetings with this opposition, City are clear 4/11 (1.36) favourites with 888sport to ramp up the pressure with a big win here.
However, the Foxes are unbeaten in 11 matches in all competitions, and can be backed at 6/1 (7.00) to strengthen their grip on second by emerging victorious at the home of the champions.
None of the last seven league encounters between this pair have resulted in draws, but you can get odds of 17/4 (5.25) on this one finishing up all square.
Manchester City vs Leicester City Team News
David Silva and Sergio Aguero could be back in contention following injury, although John Stones, Aymeric Laporte, and Leroy Sane are all still sidelined.
Matty James remains the only injury absentee for the guests, despite returning to light training following his achilles operation in the summer.
Manchester City vs Leicester City Preview
The defensive issues that have plagued the Citizens’ season were once again evident in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup clash against Oxford United, when they failed to keep a clean sheet for the 11th time in 12 fixtures.
This doesn’t bode well for a game against Brendan Rodgers’ team, which has found the net in each of the last 19 fixtures – averaging over 2.5 goals per match.
Manchester City vs Leicester City Tips and Predictions
Nevertheless, with Manchester City having failed to score just once in 27 matches, odds of 5/6 (1.83) seem generous on both teams getting on target and over 2.5 goals being scored for their eighth match in 10.
Best Bet
Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score at 5/6 (1.83) with 888sport.

Liverpool vs Flamengo Odds
Looking at Liverpool vs Flamengo Odds, Liverpool will be looking to win the Club World Cup for the first time when they face Flamengo at Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, Qatar on Saturday evening.
The Reds edged past Monterrey 2-1 in the semi-finals thanks to substitute Roberto Firmino’s late winner, whilst Copa Libertadores winners Flamengo came from a goal behind to beat Al-Hilal to reach the final.
Liverpool vs Flamengo Prediction
888Sport make Jurgen Klopp’s men comfortable 4/7 (1.57) favourites to lift the trophy for the first time, having previously lost to Sao Paulo in the 2005 final.
Flamengo beat Liverpool 3-0 in the Intercontinental Cup - the Club World Cup’s predecessor – in 1981 and can be backed at 17/4 (5.25) to end a six-year European dominance in this competition by beating the Reds.
The draw, which would lead to extra time and potentially penalties, is available at 16/5 (4.20) with the online bookmaker.
Liverpool vs Flamengo Team News
Klopp put out a heavily rotated side against Monterrey but it is likely to be a more recognisable team here. Virgil van Dijk could be set to return after missing that match through illness whilst Georginio Wijnaldum could feature.
Jorge Jesus opted to put out the same starting eleven that beat River Plate in the Copa Libertadores final last month and is likely to do so again here.
Liverpool vs Flamengo Preview
Both sides were expected to cruise into the final but it was certainly not all plain sailing, with Liverpool needing late heroics from Firmino whilst Flamengo were far from their best in the first half against Al-Hilal.
The Brazilian side looked a completely different side after the break and will hope to carry that form into the final, where a fast start against Liverpool could be crucial.
Klopp’s men certainly dominated their semi-final and although they only scored twice, their fearsome front three should be able to take those chances against a team with just one clean sheet in their last nine games in all competitions.
Liverpool vs Flamengo Tips and Predictions
With Flamengo aiming to make their mark early and the Reds hoping to begin as quickly as they did in the semi-final when Naby Keita scored after 11 minutes, both teams to score in the first half offers plenty of value at 3/1 (4.0) with 888Sport.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid Bettting
Looking at Barcelona vs Real Madrid Bettting, like every Real Madrid manager taking on Barcelona in recent years, Zinedine Zidane will have spent the majority of his preparation for Wednesday’s El Clasico wondering how to stop Lionel Messi.
The six-time Ballon d’Or winner has scored 26 goals in 41 matches against Los Blancos, although he has failed to get on target in his last two encounters with the old enemy.
Nevertheless, he remains 888Sport’s 3/1 (4.00) favourite to open the scoring at the Nou Camp, and priced at just 7/10 (1.70) to strike anytime.
Considering he has scored 11 goals in 15 games against Madrid, the Uruguay international looks like solid value at 57/50 (2.14) anytime odds.
Having scored a more modest seven goals in 21 fixtures this season, former Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann is a less tempting 6/4 (2.50) shot to come back to haunt his old neighbours.
In contrast, there is no doubt over who will be bearing the brunt of the goal-scoring burden at the other end of the pitch, where Karim Benzema has scored at least nine more league goals than any of his team mates.
On the scoresheet 10 times in his last 10 appearances, the Frenchman is priced at 7/1 (8.00) to break the deadlock and 41/20 (3.05) to score anytime.
Benzema has been particularly important considering Luka Jovic’s disappointing form since joining in the summer, with the 21-year-old unlikely to attract much attention at 47/20 (3.35) anytime odds after scoring just once so far.
On the other hand, teenage prodigy Rodrygo could be a tempting longer shot at 10/3 (4.33) considering he has worked his way into the team with six goals in nine starts this season.
Suarez to score anytime at 57/50 (2.14) for a 1.5pt stake with 888Sport

Liverpool vs Watford latest odds
Liverpool vs Watford latest odds
Having lost their last five visits to this ground by an aggregate scoreline of 20-1, Pearson's new team are hefty 11/1 (12.00) outsiders with bet365 to pull off a shock win here.
The Reds have taken an astounding 73 points from the last available 75, and are priced at just 2/11 (1.19) to claim all three once again.
Just one of the last 21 encounters between this pair has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 13/2 (7.50) on this one finishing up all square.
Liverpool vs Watford team news
Dejan Lovren is unavailable after being forced off in Tuesday's Champions League win over Salzburg, joining Joel Matip, Fabinho and Nathaniel Clyne on the sidelines. However, Adam Lallana could return after missing that game due to a thigh issue.
Jose Holebas, Danny Welbeck, Tom Cleverley and Sebastian Prodl are all ruled out, while Craig Dawson and Daryl Janmaat will face late fitness tests.
Liverpool vs Watford preview
Although memorably beaten 8-0 by Manchester City earlier on in the campaign, the Hornets have actually conceded a relatively respectable 12 goals in the 10 matches since then.
While they will be hard-pressed to keep Jurgen Klopp's side from scoring, they will at least back themselves to make them work hard for a breakthrough - having let in just one first-half goal in nine fixtures and none in the most recent five.
Liverpool vs Watford predictions
All in all, odds of 20/21 (1.95) look like solid value on a determined Watford team ensuring the goalmouth action doesn't truly unfold until after the break for their fourth consecutive game against Liverpool.

Europa League Tips
Rangers vs Young Boys Betting Tips
Despite sitting top of Group G, Rangers still need a point against Young Boys to guarantee their name will be in the hat for the round of 32 draw next week.
Steven Gerrard’s men are favourites to win but backing a goal to be scored before 27 minutes offers better value at 5/6 (1.83).
Roma vs Wolfsberger Betting Tips
Wolfsberger appear to have peaked very early in this competition with a stunning 4-0 win in Monchengladbach in their first match, but they have not scored in each of their last three Europa League fixtures and so the 20/21 (1.95) on Roma to win to nil looks the best value bet here.
Wolves vs Besiktas Betting Tips
Both teams to score looks slightly overpriced at Evens (2.0) considering Wolves have conceded in 10 of their last 12 matches in all competitions, whilst also finding the net in each of their last 17.

Arsenal 3-1 @ 12/1
BET HERE
Arsenal, who’re yet to appoint a new permanent manager, are without a win in eight games in all competitions.
Arsenal haven’t won in the Premier League since their home victory against Bournemouth back at the start of October.
Brighton are without an away win since beating Watford on the opening day of the season.
No team has claimed less away points than Brighton in the Premier League this term.
Defensive weakness continues to blight Gunners
Arsenal’s underwhelming season continued at the weekend, as they drew against strugglers Norwich. It’s now eight games (in all competitions) since the Gunners last tasted victory. It remains to be seen whether things will improve now Unai Emery is no longer in charge, though if the performance at Carrow Road is anything to go by, it’s going to be a while before major improvements occur.
Somewhat surprisingly, Arsenal are yet to lose at home in the Premier League this term, though that hasn’t been for the want of trying. Poor defending has led to the side that currently sits eighth drawing more games than they’ve won. They’ve scored a respectable 13 goals in front of a home crowd but have shipped a rather concerning 10 and have kept just one clean sheet. The fact only four teams in the league have shipped more home goals is worrying.
Brighton look to improve poor away record
Fortunately for Wednesday’s hosts, Brighton rank as the joint-worst travelling team in the division. The Seagulls started the campaign by winning away at Watford, scoring three and conceding none in the process, though they’ve since gone nearly four months without securing a second travelling win.
Like Arsenal at home, Brighton have conceded too many goals on their travels, conceding 13 in seven matches, keeping two clean sheets and conceding two or more in five out of seven, as well as in each of their last four. On a slightly more positive note, Graham Potter’s men have scored in each of their last three away, notching against both Man United and Liverpool, which bodes well ahead of a match against an Arsenal rearguard that is without a clean sheet since the first week of October.
Another high-scoring game on the cards
The performances of both point towards goals, there can be no getting away from that fact. ‘Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score’ appears to be a reasonable option for those looking to get involved. Arsenal, who have both scored and conceded in six out of seven at home, have scored plenty on their own patch, but have struggled massively to keep clean sheets, which is why there’s been an average of 3.29 goals at the Emirates this season.
If we combine the goals conceded by Arsenal at home and Brighton on the road, then we also arrive at an average of 3.29. Moreover, Brighton are the second-worst team in the division when it comes to shots on target conceded on the road, while Arsenal are the third-worst Premier League outfit in terms of shots on target conceded at home.
‘Correct Score’ punters are pointed towards a 3-1 win for the hosts. Both teams are defensively weak, but Arsenal’s attacking efforts at home have been superior to Brighton’s on the road. As well as being one of the worst in terms of shots on target conceded at home, they’re also one of the best when it comes to shots on target for. Against a Brighton side that have shipped seven in three on the road, the Gunners, who certainly don’t lack firepower, are backed to outscore their opponents at home for the first time in almost two months.

Somewhat surprisingly, Arsenal are yet to lose at home in the Premier League this term, though that hasn’t been for the want of trying. Poor defending has led to the side that currently sits eighth drawing more games than they’ve won. They’ve scored a respectable 13 goals in front of a home crowd but have shipped a rather concerning 10 and have kept just one clean sheet. The fact only four teams in the league have shipped more home goals is worrying.
Brighton look to improve poor away record
Fortunately for Wednesday’s hosts, Brighton rank as the joint-worst travelling team in the division. The Seagulls started the campaign by winning away at Watford, scoring three and conceding none in the process, though they’ve since gone nearly four months without securing a second travelling win.
Like Arsenal at home, Brighton have conceded too many goals on their travels, conceding 13 in seven matches, keeping two clean sheets and conceding two or more in five out of seven, as well as in each of their last four. On a slightly more positive note, Graham Potter’s men have scored in each of their last three away, notching against both Man United and Liverpool, which bodes well ahead of a match against an Arsenal rearguard that is without a clean sheet since the first week of October.
Another high-scoring game on the cards
The performances of both point towards goals, there can be no getting away from that fact. ‘Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score’ appears to be a reasonable option for those looking to get involved. Arsenal, who have both scored and conceded in six out of seven at home, have scored plenty on their own patch, but have struggled massively to keep clean sheets, which is why there’s been an average of 3.29 goals at the Emirates this season.
If we combine the goals conceded by Arsenal at home and Brighton on the road, then we also arrive at an average of 3.29. Moreover, Brighton are the second-worst team in the division when it comes to shots on target conceded on the road, while Arsenal are the third-worst Premier League outfit in terms of shots on target conceded at home.
‘Correct Score’ punters are pointed towards a 3-1 win for the hosts. Both teams are defensively weak, but Arsenal’s attacking efforts at home have been superior to Brighton’s on the road. As well as being one of the worst in terms of shots on target conceded at home, they’re also one of the best when it comes to shots on target for. Against a Brighton side that have shipped seven in three on the road, the Gunners, who certainly don’t lack firepower, are backed to outscore their opponents at home for the first time in almost two months.

Liverpool vs Everton TV
Looking at Liverpool vs Everton TV, Liverpool will be looking to rack up their 14th win of the season when they welcome rivals Everton to Anfield on Wednesday night.
Jurgen Klopp’s side hold an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League ahead of a busy Christmas period and the Merseyside derby is sure to provide plenty of excitement for neutrals and fans alike.
Although there has just been one goal across the last three meetings between these sides, the form of these sides means our tipster is backing an open affair at Anfield this time around.
Liverpool vs Everton Prediction
Using bet365’s Bet Builder, our tipster has combined selections from the match to create an 8/1 (9.0) bet consisting of: Liverpool to win, Both Teams to Score, Under five cards, and Over nine corners.
Liverpool to win
Liverpool are heavy favourites to win this match and justifiably so, considering they have taken maximum points from 13 of their 14 Premier League games this season and have won their last 14 league games at Anfield.
As well, the Reds have won four of their last five home matches against Everton in all competitions, including last season when Divock Origi struck a late winner after a miscued shot from Virgil van Dijk.
Both Teams to Score
The Toffees have not scored at Anfield since losing there 2-1 in the FA Cup third round almost two years ago, but that could all change on Wednesday night.
Liverpool have conceded in each of their last 12 games in all competitions and have not managed a clean sheet in front of their own fans since the final day of last season, which will certainly give Everton a boost.
Despite struggling form-wise, Marco Silva’s side have netted in five of their last six Premier League games and in each of their last three away from Goodison Park.
Under Five Cards
The days of feisty Merseyside derbies appear to be firmly in the rear-view mirror with just four red cards having been shown in the 21 meetings during this decade – some way behind the 13 shown in the 22 matches between 2000 and 2009.
Even the amount of yellow cards has not been particularly high, with 15 being shown across the last five derbies and just one of the last eight seeing five cards or more.
Over Nine Corners
There has been no shortage of corners for these sides this season, with Everton taking 93 this season – the fourth-most in the league – at an average of over 6.5 per game.
The Reds sit just behind them on 88 which still comes in at over six per game, and with both attacks looking particularly potent, there is little to suggest either team will struggle on the corner count.

Chelsea vs Aston Villa on TV
Looking at Chelsea vs Aston Villa on TV, Chelsea will be determined to return to winning ways when they welcome Aston Villa to Stamford Bridge in Wednesday's Premier League clash.
Frank Lampard's men come into this match having suffered back-to-back defeats, following up a rather unfortunate 2-1 loss at Manchester City by losing 1-0 at home to West Ham.
Chelsea vs Aston Villa Odds
However, having won eight of their last nine matches against this opposition, they are 2/7 (1.29) favourites with bet365 to bounce back by coming out on top here.
None of the last 10 meetings between this pair have resulted in draws, but you can get odds of 19/4 (5.75) on this one finishing up all square.
Chelsea vs Aston Villa Team News
Tammy Abraham is hoping to return after missing the West Ham defeat due to injury, although Antonio Rudiger and Ross Barkley remain doubtful and Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a long-term absentee.
Frederic Guilbert is suspended after picking up his fifth booking of the season at the weekend, while Anwar El Ghazi is also unlikely due to sustaining an injury in the same game - joining Jota, Jed Steer and Keinan Davis on the sidelines.
Chelsea vs Aston Villa Preview
Having seemingly tightened up at the back by keeping clean sheets in three consecutive home league games prior to the West Ham defeat, the Blues appear to have reverted to their fragile early season form.
One clean sheet in eight fixtures is hardly encouraging form for a match against Dean Smith's men, who have only failed to score once in 11 matches - hitting the net 22 times in that run.
Chelsea vs Aston Villa Tips Prediction
Indeed, odds of 7/10 (1.70) seem almost too good to pass up on both teams getting on target for Chelsea's eighth game in nine, as well as a 10th in 12 for Aston Villa.

Celtic vs Rennes Prediction
Looking at Celtic vs Rennes Prediction, Celtic pulled off a 2-1 victory at Lazio in their last European game to book their place in the next round of the Europa League. The Bhoys are cruising towards top spot in this group, which they can wrap up when they meet Rennes on Thursday night. The Scottish giants are on form following an eight-game winning streak, but can they continue that excellent run when they meet the struggling Ligue 1 side?
The hosts were comfortable 4-0 winners against Livingston at the weekend, while they are hopeful of continuing a European winning streak. The hosts have won their last three group games. The Bhoys kicked things off with a 1-1 draw against Rennes, with that result in the reverse fixture making it three games without defeat for Celtic against the French outfit.
The visitors come into this one 12th in Ligue 1, so they clearly aren’t enjoying the best of seasons. They are in patchy form going into this one, with six defeats in their last eight matches. They are winless in their last seven trips in all competitions, so it isn’t a major surprise Celtic have been priced up as the heavy favourites for this clash.
The visitors also have history against them when they head to Celtic Park. Rennes have lost both their previous away games against Scottish opponents, going down 0-1 against Rangers in 1971 (Cup Winners’ Cup) and 1-3 against Celtic in 2011 (Europa League). The Bhoys have built on that with their draw in the away meeting, adding to the visitors’ struggles in this competition.
Rennes are winless in their last five Europa League matches (D1 L4), losing each of the last three in a row. They’ve lost eight of their last 10 trips in this competition, while they head to meet a Celtic side who have won five of their last six Europa League games. With the hosts winning each of their last eight in all competitions, we think they are set for another win. Celtic to take the points in this clash is therefore our main tip.
We’re also backing a 2-1 victory for the Bhoys this week. The hosts have seen both teams score in four of their last five games in this competition, while they have won 2-1 in back-to-back European games. With Rennes losing by a single goal in their last three European clashes, we are going with a 2-1 home win as our correct score prediction.

Sporting Braga vs Wolves Prediction
Looking at Sporting Braga vs Wolves Prediction, Wolves need just one point from their remaining two Group K fixtures to qualify for the knock-out stage of the Europa League, and are presented with their first chance to secure that point on Thursday in a tricky-looking assignment at table-topping Sporting Braga.
Braga beat Wolves 1-0 in a keenly contested reverse Group K meeting in mid-September – a result that was unusual for two reasons.
Firstly, Wanderers failing to score went against the grain of the overall consistency in front of goal they have shown this season – in fact, Wolves went on to score in every single game they played since losing to Braga two months ago (13 games). Secondly, the defeat itself was a rare one for Wolves, who have lost only twice in their last 13 competitive fixtures overall since September 19th – including that reverse at home to Braga.
The Portuguese club are in fine form themselves ahead of their rematch with Wanderers, losing just once in 14 outings since the second week of September. Braga’s win over Wolves seemed to be the confidence-boosting kick-starter their season needed and was the first match on their impressive 14-match sequence.
Like Wolves, Braga rarely fail to score. However, like their English opponents again, keeping clean sheets at the other end continues to prove a difficult task. Both teams scored in seven of Braga’s last 12 fixtures overall, while Wolves’ BTTS figure for their last dozen contests stands a little higher at eight.
Wanderers saw goals go in at either end in 100% of their last five away games overall, and it’s in that both teams to score market we feel best value lies for their Group K game in Portugal this week. Both teams registered in 71% of Braga’s last seven games on home turf and in each of their last three Europa League fixtures. Meanwhile, the Portuguese outfit have the technical quality in attack to cause Wolves headaches but have shown little of late to suggest they can keep the Premier League club out.
Alongside our both teams to score prediction, we are forecasting a 1-1 draw for our correct score tip. Wolves have scored exactly one goal in three of their last four away matches, and in eight of their last 13 games overall, while they have conceded exactly one at the other end on eight separate occasions.

FC Astana vs Manchester United Prediction
Looking at FC Astana vs Manchester United Prediction, Astana come in to matchday five of the Europa League group stages already playing for pride alone. They have collected no points from their four group stage games, with their demolition at the hands of AZ earlier this month ending all hopes of them making it to the knockout stages.
The opening two matches actually didn’t go too badly for Astana in terms of performance, although the narrow defeats to Manchester United and Partizan put them on the back foot instantly. Things started to go badly wrong when they faced a talented and fresh-faces AZ squad though, with their two clashes with the Dutch side resulting in an 11-0 aggregate defeat.
On Thursday they face a Manchester United side who are on course to qualify from Group L, only needing a draw against Astana to seal qualification and knowing that victory could potentially clinch top spot in the group.
That being said, it’s not all been plain sailing for the Red Devils. They may have won three of their four Europa League games, but it’s not exactly been convincing. They scored just two goals in their opening three group matches before finally coming to life at home to Partizan last time out.
In fairness to Man Utd, they haven’t conceded a single goal in the Europa League this season, and a clean sheet on Thursday could see them become the first team to keep a clean sheet in their opening five group stage games in the competition.
Admittedly, Man Utd haven’t been at their best so far this season, but they should have more than enough to see off the threat of Astana. The Kazakh hosts have scored just one goal in the Europa League group stages and have failed to find the net in three of their last six in all competitions, so backing Both Teams to Score looks a good offering.
As we mentioned previously, Man Utd should have more than enough to see off Astana here. They may have struggled going forward this season, but they did beat Partizan 3-0 last time out and they’re facing an Astana side that have been humiliated at the hands of AZ recently. They have conceded 3.5 goals per game on average, but with Man Utd’s attacking record we think a more conservative 2-0 scoreline is a good option.

Arsenal vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
Looking at Arsenal vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction, Arsenal are in desperate need of a morale boost when Eintracht Frankfurt visit the Emirates Stadium for Thursday's Europa League clash.
Unai Emery has come under intense pressure after a run of six games without a win, with his side requiring a late equaliser to salvage a draw at home to lowly Southampton at the weekend.
Arsenal vs Eintracht Frankfurt latest odds
However, having won 10 and lost none of their last 12 home games in this competition, they are 19/20 (1.95) favourites with bet365 to make sure of their place in the knockout stages with a welcome victory here.
Frankfurt come into this game on the back of a three-game losing streak, but can be backed at 11/4 (3.75) to compound the home fans' misery by pulling off a shock win.
A point would also be enough for the hosts to progress and there are odds of 11/4 (3.75) available on them settling for a stalemate.
Arsenal vs Eintracht Frankfurt team news
Sead Kolasinac is unlikely to be risked as he struggles with a hamstring injury, while Dani Ceballos is definitely ruled out.
Jonathan De Guzman, Lucas Torro, Marco Russ and Kevin Trapp are all out, although reserve goalkeeper Frederik Ronnow should be fit to start after missing Saturday's defeat against Wolfsburg due to illness.
Arsenal vs Eintracht Frankfurt preview
Considering their poor domestic form, the Gunners will be grateful to switch their attention to a competition they have generally thrived in recently.
This is particularly the case in their own back yard, where they have failed to win just four times in 16 fixtures – scoring an average of over 2.5 goals per game.
However, having concede an average of two goals a match over the last eight games in all competitions, they are unlikely to have things all their own way against a Frankfurt team that has only failed to score four times in 24 matches this campaign.
Arsenal vs Eintracht Frankfurt predictions
Indeed odds of 5/6 (1.83) seem generous on both teams scoring in Arsenal’s ninth home match in 11 that produces over 2.5 goals, as well as a 15th in 18 for Adi Hutter’s team.
All odds correct at time of publish. Please gamble responsibly.

Midfielder Marvin Johnson starts a three-match ban for his red card in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Hull City.
