Football – England – Premier League Betting Tips
Arsenal scored an emphatic 6-0 win during the week over Bulgarian outfit Ludogorets in the Champions League and they now return to Premier League action on Saturday afternoon when they play host to new-boys Middlesbrough at the Emirates Stadium.
In the Premier League, Arsenal have won their last six matches on the trot scoring a total of 16 goals during this winning sequence as goals have never been very far away where The Gunners are concerned. Forwards Walcott and Sanchez have been in goalscoring form so far this season, and they both notched in the recent mid-week Champions League win.
At home, Arsenal possess a solid looking home record of 3-0-1 11/7, having recovered from an opening day defeat at home to Liverpool, the side from the capital have since registered three wins on the trot with victories gained against Southampton, Chelsea and Swansea City.
Visitors Middlesbrough have struggled so far this season to make the step up in division as they sit fourth from bottom in the Premier League with just one win under their belts so far in their new campaign in the English top flight.
Four defeats from their last five matches have seen Boro drop down the league table close to the relegation zone following defeats to Crystal Palace, Everton, Tottenham and Watford with the latter being a defeat at their Riverside Stadium.
Away from home, Middlesbrough possess a record of 1-2-1 4/5 which isn’t too bad upon first glance but three of these four matches have been against bottom half opposition while their one game at a top half side ended in a 3-1 loss at Everton.
Pick: Arsenal HT @ 1.73 Coral
