Premier League Matchday 9: Best Betting Football Tips
Arsenal vs. Aston Villa: EPL Betting Tip
This weekend’s Premier League action gets underway on Friday night when Arsenal and Aston Villa meet at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners are on a six-game unbeaten run, while the Villans have lost two on the bounce.
Arsenal have recovered well from an horrendous start to the season. Since an embarrassing 5-0 defeat at Man City, the London side have won three and drawn two of their following five in the Premier League. However, they have drawn two on the spin.
Aston Villa were on the wrong end of a five-goal thriller with Midlands rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend. Dean Smith’s men were 2-0 up with ten minutes to go but crashed to a 3-2 defeat on home soil.
Arsenal will be looking for maximum points from this home match after back-to-back draws with Brighton and Crystal Palace. Mikel Arteta’s men should make home advantage count and secure a routine victory. Back the London outfit to win -1 at 12/5.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Manchester City: Best Premier League Betting Predictions
On Saturday evening, Graham Potter’s Brighton and Pep Guardiola’s Man City meet at the Amex Stadium. The Seagulls have been the surprise package in the Premier League up until now, but City are the clear favourites in this one.
Brighton have been brilliant this season, taking 15 points from their opening eight matches. Albion are currently in fourth place after four wins, three draws and one defeat. They head into this one having drawn three on the bounce, however.
Man City have won five and drawn two of seven Premier League fixtures after kicking off their league season with a narrow defeat at Tottenham. The champions are in third place at present, two points behind leaders Chelsea.
Brighton have really caught the eye with some excellent performances so far, but Man City should be too strong for the Seagulls at the Amex. You can get evens for the away team to be winning at half time and full time on Saturday.

West Ham United vs. Tottenham Hotspur: EPL Betting Odds & Predictions
London rivals West Ham and Tottenham do battle in an intriguing Premier League fixture at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Hammers are in fine fettle and are the bookies’ favourites in this capital derby.
David Moyes’ men picked up a superb 1-0 win at Everton last weekend, with Angelo Ogbonna netting the only goal of the game at Goodison Park. That was just what the doctor ordered for West Ham after one win in five in the Premier League.
Tottenham have found form again after three consecutive league losses, winning their last two. After a 2-1 home victory over Aston Villa, Nuno Espirito Santo’s Spurs won 3-2 at Newcastle United last Sunday thanks to goals from Tanguy Ndombele, Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son.
This London derby is an extremely tough one to call. The Hammers are the favourites, while Tottenham have improved of late. With that in mind, put some money on the draw and both teams to score at 7/2.

Manchester United vs. Liverpool: Best Premier League Betting Tips on Matchday 9
The final Premier League game of the weekend is without doubt the biggest, as fierce rivals Man United and Liverpool go head-to-head at Old Trafford. The Reds are still unbeaten this season, and Jurgen Klopp’s men will be looking for all three points in Manchester.
United started well but have been in poor form of late, taking just one point from the last nine on offer in the Premier League. In recent weeks, they have lost to Aston Villa and Leicester City and drawn with Everton.
Liverpool are in red-hot form right now, picking up nine wins and drawing three of their opening 12 games of the season across all competitions. The Merseysiders are the only unbeaten side in the Premier League, winning five and drawing three of eight.
This is arguably the biggest rivalry in English football, and this particular derby promises to be extra special with the fans now back. Man United will be desperate for a win after a poor run of results, but Liverpool will be no pushovers at Old Trafford. We like the look of the draw at 13/5.
