Manchester City vs Leicester City Prediction

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

Cagliari vs Lazio Prediction

Looking at Cagliari vs Lazio Prediction, this match will take place at the Sardegna Arena.

Cagliari and Lazio both performed quite well in the Serie A title this season, making them both compete in the top flight table, Cagliari in fifth place with 29 points, while Lazio in third place with 33 points .

Cagliari vs Lazio Betting Tips

This match is believed to be going tight and fierce considering the two teams are both in good standing.

If you look at the performance of the two teams lately, Palace will certainly be more favored over Brighton. Moreover, this fight took place at their own headquarters.

Arsenal vs Man City - 100 Bet Credits


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.

Man Utd vs Tottenham - 100% NEW MEMBER BONUS


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.
