We are getting closer to the halfway mark in the Premier League, as Gameweek 16 is starting this weekend after an exciting week of football in the EPL. The competition is heating up, and there are some enticing odds for the taking, so what should we expect from the most interesting matchups this Sunday?
Everton have turned into beast mode since they got docked 10 points for breaching financial rules. The Toffees have won three of their last four matches, so they are doing very well lately. Chelsea have gone over the total in five consecutive games, averaging 5.2 goals per game in that period. Everton have gone over the total in four of their last six games as well, so this matchup has the potential to have a lot of goals.
Manchester City are coming off a terrible loss to Aston Villa, as the Citizens dropped points for the fourth consecutive game. Luton Town were very close to upsetting Arsenal on Tuesday, but the Gunner came back to win the game. The Hatters scored in six of their last seven matches, while the Citizens conceded at least a goal in their last five, so Man City should win easily but will probably also concede.
Tottenham have the longest ongoing winless streak in the EPL of five games, but the best Premier League bookmakers still have them as favorites here. Newcastle are also struggling, winning only once in their last seven away matches. Heung-Min Son scored nine Premier League goals for the Spurs this season, which puts him in third place among the top scorers. The Korean striker is in good form and will have good scoring chances, as Newcastle’s defense is a little shaky right now, conceding three goals to Everton in their last game.
