The English Premier League continues after an interesting week in the UEFA football competitions. This is the start of the congested December in the EPL, as there will be seven rounds this month, so what should we expect from the most exciting matchups this Saturday?
Arsenal are now at the top of the Premier League standings, so they will try to keep their first place by beating the Wolves at home. The Gunners are on a four-game winning streak, and they are big favorites in this matchup. Gabriel Martinelli is getting in form, as he had a goal and assist against Lens in the UCL. The Brazilian has a good chance of getting an attacking return over the Wolves, as they have a bottom-five defense in the league.
Brentford had back-to-back tough matchups against Liverpool and Arsenal, and they have lost both. Luton Town got their second win in the EPL this season, and they are now out of the relegation zone, but this will be a hard away game for them, as the Hatters have one of the worst away records this season. Bryan Mbeumo has had six goals and two assists so far in the EPL. He is the main man for the Bees and on penalties, so he will have a lot of scoring chances on this defense.
As explained in our Newcastle vs Man United betting preview, both teams still have good chances of getting into the top four, so this should be an interesting matchup to watch. The Magpies have one of the best home records in the Premier League this season, as they have won six of seven home games played so far. Man United won’t have the best spirits after throwing away a 3-1 lead and getting only a point against Galatasaray, so a trip to St. James’ Park is less than ideal for the Red Devils, and Newcastle should get the win.
