Bet365 on this weekend's games

Arsenal v LiverpoolSu May 8 - ko 4.05 pm BST (SS1)Liverpool will be on a high after their gutsy win over Chelsea, but their record in the league after a European game is not great - two wins in 13 attempts - although one of those was against Arsenal in the reverse fixture. They've also lost six of their last aways which have all been against modest opponents, so the recommendation has to be a small wager on the Gunners. A better bet, however, could be on the total goals. Last season's 4-2 was not typical of this fixture: the previous 22 here had yielded only 35 goals. Verdict: Arsenal @ 8/11; Under 2.5 (Total Goals) @ 3/4 Crystal Palace v SouthamptonSa May 7 - ko 3.00 pm BSTThis is one of three crucial relegation fixtures this weekend, with the winner likely to stay up. The game could go either way, but the packed home crowd could just swing it the way of the Eagles. Should they stay up, Palace can thank Andy Johnson for his contribution this season, and he looks the obvious bet to open the scoring. With the bottom four teams averaging 3.5 goals per game when they have met, it's also pretty safe to assume that there'll be a goal glut.Verdict: Palace @ 6/5; Andy Johnson (1st goal) @ 7/2; Over 2.5 (TotalGoals) @ 19/20 Norwich v BirminghamSa May 7 - ko 3.00 pm BSTNorwich look to have the easiest game of the four relegation contenders but there's a chance that Steve Bruce will try and do his old mate Bryan Robson a favour and condemn his ex-club Norwich to defeat. What's more, they'll want to finish above their old rivals Villa, who have a tough game at Man City, so back the Blues at 5/2. At 8/1, Emile Heskey could be value to open the scoring, especially as we'll give you your money back if he scores the last goal in the game instead!Verdict: Birmingham @ 5/2; Emile Heskey (1st Goal) @ 8/1 Man United v West BromSa May 7 - ko 5.15 pm BST (SS1)A much tighter game is on the cards at Old Trafford, where the best option could be to go for the draw at 7/2. With Arsenal winning on Monday to go four clear in the race for second, it's questionable just how much United will be up for this, while Ferguson may also decide to rest a few players for the FA Cup Final. Alternatively, you could back the Baggies on the Asian handicap getting a goal and a half start. Verdict: Draw @ 7/2; West Brom (Asian Handicap) @ 1.925 (+1.5 goals)
