Tottenham vs Brighton Best Bet
Sat, April 14th, 12:30 (UK Time)
I’m backing Brighton to upset the odds in North London again. The Seagulls secured an impressive 2-1 victory over Arsenal last weekend. I think Graham Potter’s men are due a result here against this in-form Tottenham team.
Spurs have been mightily impressive in recent weeks. They’ve scored an average of 3.6 goals per match in their last seven Premier League fixtures. Son Heung-Min and Harry Kane have 13 goals between them in that time. They’ve scored at least twice in each of their last seven Premier League matches. Spurs haven’t done that for eight consecutive league games for over a decade.
They now face Brighton who secured their first win in eight matches last weekend. It continued Brighton’s fine record in London this season. They are unbeaten in all of their five league matches in the capital this season. They’re much better on the road than they are at home. Brighton have only lost three of their last 15 Premier League away fixtures. That’s why I’m backing Brighton to upset the odds here.
- Selection: Brighton +1 (AH)
- Odds: 1.97 (bet365)
- Stakes: 5/10

Manchester United vs Norwich Best Bet
Sat, April 14th, 15:00 (UK Time)
Manchester United host Norwich at Old Trafford. It has been a particularly one-sided fixture down the years. United have won 12 of their last 15 Premier League matches against the Canaries. Norwich have won only one of their last 10 away matches against United in the league. That sole victory came back in 2015.
The bookies are expecting goals here with the line up at 3. That may be understandable given that each of the last five matches between the clubs at Old Trafford have finished with over 2.5 goals. Four of those five games finished exactly 4-0 to the hosts.
I’m going the other way here and backing under on goals. We rarely see too many goals at Old Trafford. There has been under 2.5 goals in six of United’s last seven matches at home in the league. It’s a similar story for the visitors on the road. There hasn’t been over 3 goals in an away match for Norwich since October last year.
- Selection: Under 3 Goals
- Odds: 2.02 (bet365)
- Stakes: 7/10

Watford vs Brentford Best Bet
Sat, April 14th, 15:00 (UK Time)
Watford host Brentford on Saturday afternoon. It’s a match that Watford will surely have to win if they are to remain in the Premier League this season. It’s a tricky task against an in-form Brentford side.
The Bees have won four of their last five Premier League matches. That’s more than they won in the 20 fixtures before then. They’ve also had the better of the Hornets in recent fixtures. They’ve won their last two league meetings with Watford, more than they won in the 16 meetings before then.
It’s a difficult match to call so I’m ignoring the 1X2 and handicap markets. I’m instead looking at Both Teams to Score. Both sides have scored in three of Watford’s last 12 league games. I’m looking at No on BTTS given those generous odds.
- Selection: No on Both Teams to Score
- Odds: 2.05 (BetVictor)
- Stakes: 7/10

Southampton vs Arsenal Best Bet
Sat, April 14th, 15:00 (UK Time)
Southampton aim to get over last week’s demolition by Chelsea as they host a struggling Arsenal side. The Saints lost 6-0 to the Blues at St. Mary’s, their heaviest defeat since the 9-0 loss to Manchester United last February. They have lost four of their last five Premier League matches. It’s their worst run of form since a stretch of eight defeats in nine last season.
The Saints now host a struggling Arsenal side. They went down 2-1 to Brighton last weekend, their third defeat in four. Champions League qualification looks increasingly unlikely given the form of North London rivals Tottenham. It’s Arsenal’s worst run of form since they lost three matches out of four back in December. That sparked a turnaround that saw them win nine of their following 11 in the league.
That’s why I think Arsenal will get back on track here. The Gunners once struggled at St. Mary’s but they’ve won their last two league matches away at Southampton. They’ve only lost one of their last 12 against the Saints in the league. I’m backing the away win.
- Selection: Arsenal to Win
- Odds: 1.95 (Coral)
- Stakes: 7/10

WHAT IS A PREMIER LEAGUE ACCA?
A Premier League acca is an accumulator bet, a type of bet that consists of several selections across different matches that are combined together into one single bet. An acca usually. consists of at least four selections but many more can be included. There will be odds for the single bet as a whole which is calculated by multiplying the odds of all of the selections. A Premier League acca is one of the most popular ways to bet. This is the case because they can create potentially massive odds for a small stake. Many punters choose to create Premier League accas which is what we have created here. If one of these selections loses then the Premier League acca will lose. This type of bet needs every selection to win in order to succeed.
