Premier League predictions and best bets: Liverpool go past Tottenham | Football news

Our football betting expert Jones Knows is back to provide more Premier League insight as he hunts for value in the markets.

Everton vs Chelsea, Sunday at

The goal rush continues in the Premier League and when the opportunity presents itself, backing goals at the right price is a sensible betting strategy. Over the last 49 games, the average goals per game increased significantly to 3.39 per Even the 1.5 goal line is being hit by goals, with 44 of those 49 games seeing two or more goals scored. Even the three games in the entire Premier League Carabao Cup on Wednesday night went over 2.5 goals.

Chelsea’s games are averaging 3.52 goals per game in the Premier League this season and the positivity at Goodison Park regarding the takeover of the club could lift the mood to help this game be played at a higher tempo.

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals looks to be a tempting bet at Evens with Sky Bet.

Score prediction: 2-2

Fulham vs Southampton, Sunday at 14.00, live on Sky Sports

Can you name me a better left-back in the Premier League than Antonee Robinson? It’s not difficult. The dashing Fulham defender offers so much going forward but is also a fantastic one-on-one defender who has quickly become Fulham’s most important and consistent player. No player has made more successful open-play crosses in the Premier League this season and he also boasts that no player has made more overlapping runs in the league.

This leads to him creating a large amount of chances for his teammates – he has six assists this season, including two at Anfield last weekend. He is 100/30 with Sky Bet for another.

Score prediction: 3-1

Leicester vs Wolves, Sunday at

Vitor Pereira could be an engaging watch if his Sky Sports News interview as he bids for the Everton job is anything to go by. The Portuguese boss also has a history of making an immediate impact at clubs. On all eight occasions he has taken over a top club, he has won the first game in the dugout.

The new manager bounce, added to Leicester’s ugly underlying numbers that point to major overachievement with their results, makes me want to back Wolves here at 10/11 on a draw no bet that stands out with Sky Bet.

Even 13/8 on the nose for the away win is appealing, especially if Mads Hermansen, City’s star man in goal this season, does not recover from his groin problem.

Score Prediction: 1-2 | JONES KNOWS BEST BET: Wolves draw no bet (10/11 with Sky Bet)

Manchester United vs Bournemouth, Sunday at

Bournemouth have posted the second-highest number of shots in the Premier League this season (270) – with only Manchester City (282) registering more. This, along with their strong expected goals for numbers (32.96), which are the second highest in the league, shows that Andoni Iraola’s football is working very well from a chance creation point of view.

What holds it back a little is the quality of the player in the forward areas that he has available, which is why the Cherries are recording such high shooting numbers.

A major underperformance in attack when considering their actual goal return shows them as a team that needs plenty of chances to find the net, so they are always interesting in the overall shot market.

Bournemouth get an average of 16.5 shots per game. 90 this season and won’t be afraid to head to Old Trafford to play a team who are clearly still learning to tie the shoelaces under their manager. It will be a slow and long process for Ruben Amorim to get his philosophies across. Bournemouth to record 14 or more shots at 11/10 with Sky Bet is one of the best bets of the weekend.

Score prediction: 2-2 | JONES KNOWS BEST EFFORTS: Bournemouth 14+ Total Match Shots (11/10 with Sky Bet)

Tottenham vs Liverpool, Sunday 4.30pm, live on Sky Sports

It’s hard to argue that Liverpool are as short as 7/10 with Sky Bet here. It is the right price and I expect they will make this a calm rather than chaotic affair. Arne Slot will not allow chaos to arise in games, he wants to be in control and we have seen so many times this season Liverpool’s way of taking the sting out of games at just the right time to then be clinical when their chances will come. Spurs won’t be allowed to be Spurs if Liverpool have their way.

However, Dejan Kulusevski does not deter me from coming to this party again. What a machine he is.

Since playing his new central attacking midfield role that allows him to roam dangerously all over the pitch and lead the Spurs press, his attacking output has become much more consistent than previous seasons. He has landed players backing him up for a shot at goal in 17 of his last 19 games across club and country and has scored eight times in that run, including four on spin. His 10/11 shot on goal price and 100/30 anytime odds are both of interest at Sky Bet.

Score prediction: 1-2
