Our tipster Jones Knows takes goal on the Premier League motion, sprinkling his betting evaluation and predictions over an thrilling weekend.
Aston Villa vs Fulham, Sunday 2pm
It’s going to take a particular group, able to negotiating their means by way of Aston Villa’s insane offside entice, to have the opportunity to break this sensational dwelling run Unai Emery’s group are on. Fulham have not proven any proof of late to counsel they’re up for the job of ending Villa’s 12-game profitable streak.
Marco Silva’s facet have scored simply 9 targets of their final 11 Premier League video games whereas Villa have scored 20 targets throughout their final 4 dwelling matches. Such is their tempo and energy in assault added to their defensive unity, Villa will probably be widespread out there even at odds of 1/2 with Sky Bet. That charges their likelihood of victory at 66 per cent which appears to be like a tad beneficiant to my calculations. A means of bumping up the worth to a extra backable degree is to take Villa on the -1 handicap at 13/8 with Sky Bet, which means we’d like them to win by a couple of purpose to cop a full return – a line they’ve coated in 9 of their final 11 victories in all competitions.
SCORE PREDICTION: 3-0
Brighton vs Sheffield United, Sunday 2pm
My Lewis Dunk free-kick journey virtually led me to treasure final weekend at 66/1 when his effort from outdoors the world was tipped over the crossbar by Jordan Pickford. That’s now 4 photographs from outdoors the world in his final 5 fixtures because the markets proceed to underrate his possibilities of scoring from vary. It stays an edge that wants backing. With him very a lot on free-kick duties and displaying shocking capacity from them, there’s 12/1 with Sky Bet out there on him hitting the goal from outdoors the world and 22/1 about his possibilities of scoring from outdoors the field.
SCORE PREDICTION: 3-1
Liverpool vs Brentford, Sunday 2pm
It’s about time Trent Alexander-Arnold upped his strike-rate in entrance of purpose. Since present process the tactical tweak to play him extra centrally, the England man has solely scored as soon as in 20 appearances – a disappointing return of a participant along with his undoubted high quality taking part in in such an attack-minded facet.
That may very well be about to change although his shot numbers since getting back from damage. He’s had 9 in his final three video games – all coming from outdoors the field.

And now Brentford are on the town, who notoriously defend deep and permit opposition groups loads of area outdoors their field. Alexander-Arnold has had 10 photographs from outdoors the field towards the Bees within the 4 Premier League conferences between the groups.
The 15/8 with Sky Bet for him to have a shot on target from outside the box looks to have potential – as does the 9/1 for him to rating from outdoors the field. Remember, he’s additionally on free-kicks which provides an additional avenue of assault for each bets.
SCORE PREDICTION: 2-1
West Ham vs Nottingham Forest, Sunday 2pm, stay on Sky Sports – PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!
I’m eager to tackle West Ham at brief costs the place attainable after taking part in in Europe on the Thursday. David Moyes appears a bit conflicted in his method of late as he tries to discover the steadiness of accommodating the uncooked expertise of Mohammed Kudus into his facet. His facet are on a four-game winless run at current.
The elevating of expectation ranges each internally and externally at a soccer membership not often ends nicely for the person within the cost, particularly one who has confirmed to have limitations working persistently to a excessive degree. The Hammers at the moment are getting to a stage the place a extra forward-thinking, attack-minded supervisor might be greatest suited to taking the membership to the following degree. And, Steve Cooper ought to be prime of their record – however that argument is for an additional day.
With Forest fancied to placed on a very good present for the win at their 3/1 quotes with Sky Bet, delving into the participant prop markets is suggested. My eyes are drawn to roaming left-back Harry Toffolo, recent from two assists towards Aston Villa, to register one other at 6/1.
SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2
Chelsea vs Manchester City, Sunday 4.30pm, stay on Sky Sports – PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!
Chelsea going off greater than 4/1 with Sky Bet for a Premier League dwelling match cannot have occurred for not less than 20 years. But that is the place the membership are at. One million miles away from Manchester City, who ought to have the opportunity to ship for punters which are keen to get entangled at 8/11.
My betting instincts are drawn to prop markets involving former City teenager Cole Palmer. He’s made a shiny and assured begin to life as a Chelsea participant and will probably be wanting to show a degree to his former employers. In simply seven begins for his new membership he is sprung to the fore, taking part in with a formidable accountability. He’s had 21 photographs in that interval and been carded twice in some all-action performances.
Using the Bet Builder function with Sky Bet, I’m joyful to mix his yellow card worth of 3/1 with him to have not less than two photographs on purpose. It leads to a tasty wanting 9/2 shot to cheer on.
