Two of English football’s biggest rivalries will be reignited in the Premier League this weekend. Old foes Arsenal and Manchester United will fight a place in the top four, whilst Liverpool host Everton as they look to keep pace with title favourites Manchester City.
NetBet’s expert tipster has previewed both fixtures and provided his betting tips ahead of another exciting weekend of action.
Arsenal vs Manchester United Football Preview
Saturday’s early kick-off will be a battle of the 90s giants as Arsenal host Man United in a huge clash in the race for the top four. The Gunners ended a three-match losing streak in midweek with a 4-2 win at Stamford Bridge, whilst United prepared for the weekend with another thrashing at the hands of Liverpool.
Arsenal’s 3-2 defeat at Old Trafford earlier this season was their first loss against United in six games, and they haven’t tasted league defeat against them at the Emirates since 2017. They will be favourites at 11/10 heading into the important fixture, with a win crucial to keep the pressure on Tottenham.
United come into the meet having won just once in their last five, with heavy defeat to Liverpool once again highlighting the Red Devils as a club in turmoil. Dropped points this weekend could all but end United’s hopes of playing Champions League football next season, but Arsenal’s own inconsistencies will give them hope of a first away win since February.
Arsenal vs Manchester United Betting Tips
Arsenal win and both to score – 3/1
This seems the most likely outcome on the face of it. You can’t trust either defence to keep a clean sheet, and both have quality forwards capable of capitalising on mistakes. Arsenal’s win against Chelsea will give them confidence, whilst United’s morale will be at an all-time low.
NetBet Special: Draw, both to score, Cristiano Ronaldo and Bukayo Saka anytime goalscorers – 21/1
Both are as inconsistent as each other and we can see it ending all-square. United’s only goal threat Ronaldo is expected to return, whilst Saka never fails to look threatening in and around the box.
Liverpool vs Everton Football Preview
Sunday’s main event will see Liverpool host Everton in a must-win fixture for Jurgen Klopp’s side. The Reds cannot afford to drop points in the exhilarating title race, whilst defeat for the Toffees would see them balancing precariously on the edge of the bottom three with six games left to play.
Everton’s victory at the Anfield last season was a classic smash and grab, marking their first win in a Merseyside derby in over a decade. However, it’s unlikely we’ll see a similar outcome this time round. Liverpool have re-established their home ground as a fortress – they haven’t lost a league game at Anfield this season – and Everton have lost seven consecutive away games.
It’s tough to find an effective Everton route to victory. Richarlison is in fine form in front of goal, but they struggle to keep the ball for long enough periods to provide service to the Brazilian. Frank Lampard’s side will be direct, and they’ll play on the break, but many teams have tried and failed with the same tactics against this Liverpool side.
Liverpool vs Everton Betting Tips
NetBet Boost: Mo Salah to score first – 7/2
The league’s top goalscorer ended his drought with two goals against Man United and the Egyptian will be looking to finish the campaign with a flourish. He has scored in two of the last three Merseyside derbies and NetBet have boosted the odds on him to open the scoring this weekend.
Liverpool win 2-0 – 23/4
We don’t expect to see a thrashing this weekend – Everton have built some momentum and are fighting for their lives. However, it’s difficult to see past a comfortable Liverpool win.
