Our football expert, Jones Knows, shares his insights on the weekend's action and provides a 78/1 treble bet. The fouls market has become a valuable area to explore, especially with the resurgence of physical center forwards. Brian Brobbey's aggressive style could lead to a productive matchup against Ezri Konsa, who excels at winning fouls.
Konsa is 4/5 to win two or more fouls with Sky Bet. Liverpool's struggles to score in the first half away from home continue, with only three first-half goals in their last 17 away matches.
This trend, combined with Everton's strong defensive record, makes it likely that Liverpool will not score in the first half. The Toffees have kept a first-half clean sheet in 10 of their 16 home games and haven't conceded a first-half goal in their last four games, making it 5/6 with Sky Bet for this to happen again.
Burnley's poor form, with just one win in their last 23 Premier League matches, makes them an ideal opponent for teams struggling at the bottom. Nottingham Forest should capitalize on this opportunity, but don't expect a high-scoring game.
Forest's wins often rely on structure and discipline rather than relentless attacks, and they have scored just two goals in their last seven home games. A Forest win and under 3.5 goals at 6/5 with Sky Bet is a promising bet. The upcoming Arsenal vs. Manchester City match is a significant one, but the smart move is to back the draw at 13/5 with Sky Bet.
Arsenal's attacking problems are evident, with just three goals in their last five games, and the absence of Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka has drastically affected their output. Mikel Arteta would likely settle for a draw, and Arsenal's strong defensive unit should focus on shutting down the game and winning set-pieces.
Chris Richards' potential matchup against Crysencio Summerville could lead to a challenging evening, as Summerville has drawn the most yellow cards in the Premier League this season. Richards has been carded in two of his last three appearances, making him a likely candidate for another card at 9/2 with Sky Bet. A treble bet on Ayden Heaven to be carded, Manchester City to draw with Arsenal, and Chris Richards to be carded is available at 78/1 with Sky Bet.
