English Premier League Weekend Best Bets PT 1

There is another interesting slate of action set to unfold in the English Premier League this weekend and we get things off to a real bang with a London Derby with Spurs playing host to Arsenal. It’s going to be absolutely vital for Arsene Wenger’s men to get their approach back on track in this one after a tough loss to arch-rivals Manchester United last weekend.

It goes to show you just how off the wall this years English Premier League season has been when Arsenal are undone for top spot by Manchester United but it isn’t United competing for top honours - they’re just trying to claw their way into fourth and back into the Champions League reckoning. Instead it’s Leicester and Spurs that really seem to be Arsenal’s biggest competitors for the title, in addition to an inconsistent Manchester City.

Spurs are trading around an 11/8 margin to get the better of the Gunners at White Hart Lane and Arsenal can be backed around a best price of 21/10. This one really does seem to be a toss-up in regards to the bookmakers and it seems to be that Spurs are much more clinical at the moment and you can bank on their ability to get behind the Arsenal defense which have looked porous at crucial moments in recent weeks. 

The draw sits at about a 12/5 margin with most major bookmakers and you have to assume that neither team is willing to take the draw here - they want the whole of the three points. 

Chelsea take on Stoke City at Stamford Bridge and they come into this one with a lot of betting momentum with a slim 8/15 price tag while Stoke are trading almost as high as 7/1 with several bookmakers for this contest. Expect this one to be tougher than Chelsea might originally assume - but they are still going great guns at the moment.
