Premier League Matchday 37: Best Betting Football Tips
Leeds United vs. Brighton & Hove Albion: EPL Betting Tip
Jesse Marsch’s Leeds take on Graham Potter’s Brighton in a huge match for the hosts at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon. United have slipped into the bottom three after recent results and look a good bet to drop back down to the EFL Championship.
Marsch was beginning to make a real impact at Elland Road when he guided the Whites to three wins and two draws from five fixtures. However, Leeds have lost their last three and have slipped back into the bottom three. They have played Man City, Arsenal and Chelsea, and now finish with games against Brighton and Brentford.
Potter’s Brighton have had a strange season in the Premier League. They started like a house on fire but could not buy a win for love nor money for months. They have been far more consistent of late, winning four of their last six.
Brighton walloped Manchester United 4-0 in one of the performances of the season last time out, and we fancy the Seagulls to heap the misery on Leeds on Sunday. Back the visitors to prevail at 8/5.

West Ham United vs. Manchester City: Best Premier League Betting Predictions
Pep Guardiola’s Man City took another huge leap towards retaining their Premier League title with a stunning 5-1 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers in midweek. The champions will be searching for another three points when they travel to the London Stadium to face West Ham this Sunday.
After four straight league and cup defeats, West Ham secured a much-needed 4-0 win at Norwich City in their last outing. The Hammers are now just three points behind sixth-place Man United in the race for European places. Can David Moyes’ boys cause an upset here?
Man City have been in devastating form in the Premier League of late, winning five on the spin since that thrilling draw with Liverpool a month back. In those five matches, Guardiola’s superstars have scored a staggering 22 goals.
West Ham will no doubt put up a brave fight in front of their home supporters, but Man City’s qualities should shine through in the capital. Put some money on City to win -1 at 19/20.
West Ham United 13/2

Everton vs. Brentford: EPL Betting Odds & Predictions
Frank Lampard’s Everton and Thomas Frank’s Brentford square off at Goodison Park in Sunday’s late kick off. The Toffees are out of the bottom three after an uptick in results, but they are not out of the relegation woods just yet. The Bees have had a good season and can be a tough nut to crack.
Lampard is finally getting things right at Everton, with the Toffees now unbeaten in three. After excellent wins over Chelsea and Leicester City, the Merseyside outfit drew 0-0 at Watford in midweek. Lampard’s boys have won three of their last six and have suffered just one defeat during that run.
Brentford have had a superb first season in the Premier League. The west London side have racked up an impressive 43 points and will survive comfortably in the end. Frank’s side are ending the campaign in terrific fashion, winning six of the last nine.
Everton are unbeaten in four on home soil, winning three and drawing one. This looks a tricky matchup on paper, but we fancy the hosts to nick it. Take a punt on Everton to win by one goal at 29/10.
Everton 11/10
Draw 13/5
Brentford 13/5

Newcastle United vs. Arsenal: Best Premier League Betting Tips on Matchday 37
Eddie Howe’s Newcastle welcome Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal to St James’ Park on Monday night. With the Gunners chasing down a top-four finish, this is another big game for the north London outfit. The Magpies have won six of their previous seven on their own patch and could be tough to topple.
Howe has drastically improved Newcastle since taking over at St James’. Since January, United have secured ten Premier League wins to fire their way up the table. Newcastle can still finish in the top half if results go their way.
After several years of struggle, Arsenal finally look to be heading in the right direction. They have responded expertly well from four defeats in five and have put themselves in a great position to claim fourth spot.
The Gunners will be desperate for all three points, but Newcastle have been brilliant on home turf over the past few months. We can see the Magpies holding Arsenal to a stalemate. Back the draw and both teams to score at 7/2.
