EPL Matchweek 5 Preview: Our Expert Tips & Staking Plan

5 years ago - Sportingbase EPL Matchweek 5 Preview: Our Expert Tips & Staking Plan Image
A week off last week as the EPL took a weekend off for international games but we are back with some juicy match ups. It seems like an age ago now but two weeks ago we had an amazing week. 5 units staked and 8.3 back locks up another week of profit. The start to the season has been excellent so far and we can keep it going as the Premier League returns.
Season Results:
  • 59% strike rate
  • +6.55 Units Of Profit
  • 30% ROI

Sheffield United v Fulham, Bramall Lane

For some teams the international break can kill momentum. Sheffield United are probably one of those teams but they will be thankful after a rough start to the season. They were superb last season and I am putting this start down to a tough run of fixtures. They can reset after a couple of weeks off and get back to winning ways here.

I am very low on Fulham and their chances of survival. I just do not believe they have the talent to compete in the Premier League just yet.

Everton v Liverpool, Goodison Park

Everton have had an incredible start to the season and we have backed them through most of it. But Liverpool are a very different test and this is where their run could come to an end. It is a decade since Everton have won over their neighbours and that run should continue here.

Liverpool feel like they are a level below where they were last season, but that has still resulted in three wins from four. They were embarrassed last time out against Aston Villa but can bounce back quickly here.

  • 2 units Liverpool win 1.81 with TopSport


Manchester City v Arsenal, Etihad Stadium

Arsenal have been rejuvenated under Mikel Arteta but in these big games they have struggled to create chances. The often rely on the brilliance of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang but there is only so much he can do. But what Arsenal are is more organised and they can keep City under control.

Kevin de Bruyne will miss the game with injury and that is bad news for the home team. The current Player of the Year  is a huge loss for City and it could mean they struggle in the sort of game where he is often the difference.

  • 1 unit Man City/Arsenal Draw 4.7 with TopSport


Crystal Palace v Brighton, Selhurst Park

These two bitter rivals meet in what looks set to become a bit of a stalemate. Both have got off to decent, if not great starts and look very evenly matched. Five of their last six meetings have ended within one goal and this one looks to be just as tight.

  • 1 unit Crystal Palace/Brighton Draw 3.25 with TopSport


Leeds v Wolves, Elland Road

Leeds have performed very well in their return to the top flight and they can continue that as they hose Wolves. Their one loss came against Liverpool on the opening day and they pushed them all the way.

Wolves have lost Diogo Jota and that is big for them. They still have a good squad but it is just lacking what Jota gave them now. On the road to Leeds they could find it tough.

  • 1 unit Leeds win 2.46 with TopSport
