Our football betting expert Jones Knows is back with more Premier League insight ahead of the weekend’s action.
“Everton” – “Liverpool”, Saturday: 12:30
Are Everton dangerous here? This one looks like a free kick for them after their crucial win over Wolves, which eases the pressure ahead of daunting fixtures that include Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City against the title favorites after this game.
Wolves’ win was the first time Everton had scored three or more goals in a Premier League game in 42 games. they averaged fewer goals per game during that period, just 0.95 goals per 90.
The last eight Merseyside derbies have finished under 2.5 goals and this is another chance to defend at 6/5 with Sky Bet.Liverpool have had a rough and tumble schedule which has affected them at Newcastle steady but at a low level.They may not be at their best here when a low-scoring runner wins an away game.
SCORE PREDICTION: 0-1
Aston Villa – Southampton, Saturday 15:00 – PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!
Goals, goals, goals are once again starting to become the theme of the Premier League season, so when the game has all the makings of a goal celebration, players must act accordingly to defend the lines.

Aston Villa v Brentford Premier League highlights
In the 30 Premier League games since the last international break, they have averaged 3.39 goals per game, with 14 of them scoring over 3.5. a very healthy overall goals average. Over 3.5 goal line makes this one interesting at 11/10 with Sky Bet.
SCORE PREDICTION: 4-2
Brentford v Newcastle, Saturday 3pm – PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!
When he sings, Aleksandar Isak is probably the most complete striker in the Premier League, isn’t he?
Alexander Isak is 9/2 to score first with Sky Bet
Yes, Erling Haaland is the most ruthless goalscorer, but Isak’s pace, movement, guile and finishing ability is something that could take Newcastle to special places if he can stay consistent.The Swede was outstanding against Liverpool, giving Virgil van Dijk a chance play a big role, which not many strikers have done this season.
If Newcastle and Isak can match the intensity and produce a surprising 3-3 draw with Liverpool, Brentford won’t see which way they’ve gone, which explains why Eddie Howe’s side are 13/10 favorites However, it is difficult to predict which version of them will appear.
Isak also scored against Brentford and only Holland, Mohamed Salah and Cole Palmer have averaged more goals per game than Isak’s 0.56 since arriving at Newcastle.He is the bet to score first here kick at 9/2 with Sky Bet.
SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2
“Crystal Palace” – “Manchester City”, Saturday at 15:00. PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!
Manchester City looked more like themselves in the final third in a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest, but something is still not right will be for Pep Guardiola, who was lucky Chris Wood missed a great chance to make it 1-0 when he scored.

Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest Premier League Highlights
And Palace have the pace and power in attack, plus a very smart manager, Oliver Glassner, to cause problems. I’d be surprised if they don’t take the same approach as they did at Aston Villa, where they played very direct and got the ball forward quickly to Ismaila Sarri, who was a delight. was getting on the counter and scored himself.He is a good price to score at 7/2 with Sky Bet.
SCORE PREDICTION: 2-2 |: JONES KNOWS THE BEST BET. Ismaila Sar to score (7/2 with Sky Bet)
Leicester v Brighton on Saturday at 3pm
Being lucky is an important part of life, and Ruud van Nistelrooy gets his fair share. Not only did he manage in the Premier League by being in the right place at the right time, he also somehow managed to win a football game by two goals despite losing the shot count 8-31 and the expected goals battle 1.67-3.10. . The problem with luck is that it eventually ends as I struggle to see anything other than a Brighton win if the Leicester we’ve seen all season get here.
The Foxes have taken 18.14 shots per game, the most of any team in the Premier League, as their defense has been overwhelmed.Double Brighton to win and 16 or more for them at 13/8.
SCORE PREDICTION: 1-3
Manchester United v Nottingham Forest, Saturday, 5.30pm, live on Sky Sports. PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!
I really want Manchester United games to be low-scoring, while Ruben Amorim treats games like tests. It’s a very brave move for him to keep breaking and changing his players in a world where results are everything, especially at a club like this. It’s Manchester United.
It’s hard to develop patterns of play and consistency up front when you’re constantly updating the side.
We know Nottingham Forest are going to play a very defensive game under Nuno Espirito Santo, who likes to keep things tight.Only Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City have a better expected goalscoring process this calendar year. Forest, who offer just 1.25 expected goals per 90. I can see them being a tough nut to crack for this United to break in. Under 2.5 goal line looks gameable.
SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1 |: JONES KNOWS THE BEST BET. Under 2.5 goals (even with Sky Bet)
Fulham – Arsenal, Sunday 14:00, live on Sky Sports. PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!
When the schedule gets as intense as it is now, shocking results happen.
This seems like a candidate for such a scenario Super Sunday!where Arsenal easily slip away at 8/15 for many reasons Looking at this time of year over the past few seasons, when weekend fixtures follow a midweek fixture, the Gunners have lost twice to Everton, At Aston Villa and drew 1-1 with Southampton.
And “Fulham” is a serious team, having a great season under the leadership of Marco Silva.
Sunday, December 8 at 1:00 p.m
Start at 14:00
They have won the goal-scoring battle in 13 of their last 15 games, including against Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Aston Villa. This shows us that Fulham are getting to a consistent level, limiting teams in their defensive process and creating good chances at the other end. That makes them look like a huge price with Sky Bet at 100/30 no bet.
SCORE PREDICTION: 2-1
Ipswich v Bournemouth, Sunday 14:00
The Ipswich centre-back will score soon and I want to be there when he does.Kieran McKenna has tried to give Ipswich more of a set-piece threat with the signings of Dara O’Shea and Jacob Greaves. two very dangerous centre-backs when it comes to attacking pieces.
It’s showing signs of working as Town’s centre-backs have taken 24 shots between them this season for an expected goals ratio of 1.89.Leif Davies delivers the goods with the stick of his left foot, one coming.
Both O’Shea and Greaves are 14/1 to score anytime with Sky Bet; needs a few hits to be seriously considered.
SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1
Tottenham – Chelsea, Sunday 16:30, live on Sky Sports. PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!
Whether Chelsea are in this title race or not, there’s no hiding the fact that they’ve won 13 of their last 19 Premier League games.It’s a great time to play Tottenham based on the schedule, which making life difficult for Ange Postecoglou, who is now under pressure.
Now the main part of a manager when managing big clubs is to rotate their squads, hopefully to avoid injuries. some do it better than others, and Spurs are a team that suffers more injuries and fatigue than others.
This will be their fifth game in 15 days. it was also an intense game against Manchester City, Roma, Fulham and Bournemouth.
Chelsea are one of the best bets of the weekend with Sky Bet at 5/4 for an away win.
UNIT PREDICTION: 1-3 |: JONES KNOWS THE BEST BET. Chelsea to beat Tottenham (5/4 with Sky Bet)
West Ham v Wolves, Monday, 20:00, live
This will be a tough bet to sell, but I really like the 2.5 goals line at Sky Bet under 5/4, even though these two teams are awful defensively.Wolves have conceded 2 in a game this calendar year. 19 goals and “West Ham” – 2.15.
In that time, we have been dealing with two of the worst defenses ever in the Premier League.
However, Gary O’Neill said after the Everton defeat: “I’ve got to find a way to give the band a better chance Monday night.”
He was talking about Wolves not getting the ball rolling at Everton, with all four goals coming from spot-kicks, so reading between the lines, he’s basically going to go 11 behind the ball at the London Stadium and turn on the low block mode to will disappoint the Hammers, who will not win the sympathy of disgruntled fans.
It might be a tough watch, but that’s perfectly fine if we’re benefiting from a low-scoring snooze-fest.
