ECNETNews brings you the latest insights on this weekend’s Premier League fixtures, featuring an exciting 11/1 betting treble.
Southampton vs Manchester United, Saturday 12:30 PM
Southampton is grappling with early-season struggles, displaying moments of creativity but often falling victim to risky play from the back. Currently favored for relegation, Manchester United excels under Erik ten Hag when facing weaker sides. Historically, they’ve dominated bottom-half teams, with 14 wins in 20 away matches. Expect United to win with under 3.5 goals at 6/4.
SCORE PREDICTION: 0-1
Brighton vs Ipswich, Saturday 3 PM
Brighton’s stock continues to rise, with new manager Fabian Hurzeler instilling confidence. Their odds suggest a strong chance for a top-four finish, and with their attacking prowess, Kaoru Mitoma stands out as a key player. Look for him to score at 2/1 in what is shaping up to be a favorable match.
SCORE PREDICTION: 3-1
Crystal Palace vs Leicester, Saturday 3 PM
Leicester’s struggles are evident as they lack the firepower needed to secure safety. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace has shown promise, especially after their invigorating second-half performance against Chelsea. With a home win expected and under 3.5 goals at 13/8 looking attractive, this match could play to Palace’s advantage.
SCORE PREDICTION: 2-0
Fulham vs West Ham, Saturday 3 PM
Emerson Palmieri of West Ham faces a challenging day against the dynamic Adama Traore. The former has a tendency to commit fouls, which could be highlighted in this matchup. Prices for Emerson to accumulate fouls and potentially receive a card are appealing, making this an interesting betting option.
SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1
Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest, Saturday 3 PM
Nottingham Forest’s defense has been commendable this season, boasting one of the best expected goals-against stats. Liverpool, on the other hand, is still finding its rhythm under new management. A tight contest is anticipated, with the first half under 1.5 goals potentially presenting a secure betting option at 8/11.
SCORE PREDICTION: 1-0 | BEST BET: Under 1.5 first-half goals (8/11)
Man City vs Brentford, Saturday 3 PM
Manchester City has started the season emphatically, consistently securing victories. A creative betting angle to explore might be Brentford’s recent history of offsides against City, offering a strong chance for punters looking to capitalize on specific player performances.
SCORE PREDICTION: 3-1
Aston Villa vs Everton, Saturday 5:30 PM
Everton’s recent form without Jarrad Branthwaite has been concerning, making this clash daunting for them. Aston Villa has performed well against lower-ranked teams, and Ollie Watkins, having had a break, is anticipated to break his scoring drought soon. Look for him to score in a Villa victory.
SCORE PREDICTION: 3-1 | BEST BET: Ollie Watkins to score in Aston Villa win (7/4)
Bournemouth vs Chelsea, Saturday 8 PM
This match promises action, with Chelsea showing attacking potential but inconsistent results. Bournemouth’s poor record against last season’s top teams could play a role in this fixture, indicating a high-scoring affair could be on the cards.
SCORE PREDICTION: 2-2
Tottenham vs Arsenal, Sunday 2 PM
Arsenal faces midfield challenges, likely leading to a cautious approach in this high-stakes match. With their strong defensive record on the road, they are expected to stifle Tottenham’s attack, making an under 2.5 goals bet an appealing option.

Wolves vs Newcastle, Sunday 4:30 PM
This match will be a tactical battle in midfield, with both teams known for physical play. Expect fouls to be a factor, particularly with Wolves’ Mario Lemina likely to attract attention in this matchup.
