We are officially in the Premier League festival period, as each team will play three EPL games over the holidays before the end of the year. The competition for the title is at its peak right now, so what should we expect from the most interesting matchups this Saturday?
West Ham are coming off a big 5-1 loss to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals. They will be looking to bounce back at home after that disappointing result, while Man United had a much-needed rest this week. The Red Devils are in bad form, winning only once in their last six games in all competitions. Man United and West Ham are 7th and 8th on the standings, so this looks like an evenly matched game and could end in a draw with how both of them are playing right now.
Tottenham broke their five-game winless streak with back-to-back wins in the Premier League. They are playing well at the moment, and they are at home in this game, so they are the favorites to win. Everton are in good form as well, as they are on a four-game winning streak in the EPL, but they are coming off a loss to Fulham in the EFL Cup. Heung-Min Son has scored 10 goals and had four assists in 17 Premier League games so far. He is on penalties and plays much better at home, so he will have good scoring chances here.
This is the most anticipated matchup of the week, as the winner will be on top of the league going into Christmas (the draw here and Aston Villa’s victory can send the Lions to the top). As explained in our Liverpool vs Arsenal betting preview, this game has the potential to have a lot of goals. The Reds have scored 16 goals in their last five home games, so their scoring form at Anfield is scary, while the Gunners are in good scoring form as well. The last two head-to-head matches between Liverpool and Arsenal went over the total, so the same can happen this Saturday.
