Premier League Matchday 14: Best Betting Football Tips
Crystal Palace vs. Liverpool: EPL Betting Tip
The first Premier League game of the weekend sees Crystal Palace and Liverpool lock horns at Selhurst Park. After the midweek win, the champions moved back to the top of the league table. Will Jurgen Klopp’s men pick up another three points this weekend?
Roy Hodgson’s Palace have been in decent form of late, winning one drawing two of their last three. Last time out at home, the Eagles held high-flying Tottenham to a draw. Can the London side upset another one of the big boys this Saturday?
Liverpool moved three points clear of title rivals Spurs with a dramatic 2-1 win at Anfield on Wednesday. Roberto Firmino’s last-gasp header won it for the Reds. Liverpool are now unbeaten in the league since that shock 7-2 loss at Aston Villa in early October.
Incredibly, despite sitting three points clear at the summit, Klopp’s boys have picked up just one away league win this term. Nonetheless, we fancy the Merseysiders to secure their second away victory with a comfortable three points at Selhurst Park on Saturday. Back Liverpool to be winning at half time and full time at 13/10.

Everton vs. Arsenal: Best Premier League Betting Predictions
Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton and Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal meet at Goodison Park on Saturday evening. The Toffees have started to find form again, while the Gunners have won just one of their last nine Premier League matches. Who will come out on top in this crucial clash?
Since a poor 1-0 home loss to newly promoted Leeds United, Everton have struck back by taking seven points from a possible nine. In their last two, the Merseyside outfit have beaten Chelsea 1-0 and Leicester 2-0.
After a famous win at Old Trafford on November 1st, Arsenal’s season was supposed to have taken off. However, the London side have failed to win any of their following six in the league, losing four and drawing two. Arsenal languish in a lowly 15th place as a consequence.
It has been a miserable season for the Gunners so far, and things could get worse for Arteta and his side this weekend. The Everton win is available at 29/20 with Unibet.

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Leicester City: EPL Betting Odds & Predictions
Both Tottenham and Leicester will be looking for a positive result this weekend after losing in midweek. The pair are separated by just one point in the current Premier League standings, and Sunday afternoon’s clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could go either way.
Tottenham had not lost in the league since the opening weekend before Wednesday’s gut-wrenching defeat at Anfield. Liverpool shaded it but Jose Mourinho’s men certainly played their part on Merseyside. Prior to that, the Londoners were unbeaten in ten league and cup matches (seven wins, three draws).
Leicester are flying high in the Premier League table, though Brendan Rodgers’ side have had a mixed bag of results this season. The Foxes have won eight but have also lost five league games. They head to the capital having lost three of their last five in the Premier League.
Both teams will be desperate for the points, but home advantage could give Tottenham the edge in this one. Take a punt on Spurs to win by one goal at 11/4.

Manchester United vs. Leeds United: Best Premier League Betting Tips on Matchday 14
Our final betting preview is the cracking festive fixture between Man Utd and Leeds, which will take place at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon. This will be the first Premier League match between these famous English clubs since 2004.
Man Utd have been poor at home this season, picking up just one Premier League victory at Old Trafford. They have a 100% record away from home, though, which is why they are as high as fifth going into matchday 14.
Leeds have had mixed return to Premier League life. The Whites have already suffered six defeats in 13 games, but Marcelo Bielsa’s boys have won away from home against Sheffield United, Aston Villa and Everton.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have struggled in front of zero fans at Old Trafford in the league this term, but the Red Devils should be too strong for last season’s EFL Championship winners this weekend. Back the hosts to win -1 at 17/10.
Manchester United 7/10
