Premier League Gameweek 26 Tips: 55/1 Accumulator
After the conclusion of the European play-off ties in midweek, we return our attention to the Premier League on Friday evening as gameweek 26 kicks off at the King Power Stadium with Leicester vs Brentford.
That tie is one of five televised top-flight fixtures this weekend, which concludes with a huge game in Manchester as league leaders Liverpool face defending champions Manchester City.
Below we have compiled some of the best value tips on offer in the top flight this weekend.
Tip 1 – Brentford to beat Leicester @ EVENS
With nine defeats in their last 10 Premier League games, Leicester look destined for a swift return to the second flight and Brentford could pile the misery on the forlorn Foxes on Friday.
Thomas Frank’s Bees, who are hoping to push on into the top half of the table, have won their last three Premier League away games and hammered Leicester’s relegation rivals Southampton 5-0 last month, so expect them to take the game to the hosts.
Tip 2 – Everton to beat Manchester United @ 6/4
Everton have looked transformed under David Moyes and the Scotsman could heap the misery on another former club when Manchester United visit Goodison Park.
The Toffees have won four of their seven competitive games since Moyes returned last month to distance themselves from the relegation zone, with their win at Crystal Palace last weekend seeing them leapfrog Manchester United in the table.
The Red Devils have lost their last two games in the league and have been fortunate to secure any results over the past month or so, so it could be a difficult afternoon for Ruben Amorim’s men.
Tip 3 – Aston Villa to beat Chelsea @ 31/20
Chelsea lost at Brighton for the second time in under a week last time out and the Blues’ travelling woes are becoming something of a problem. They are without a win on the road since mid-December and have lost four of their last five competitive trips, so expect an Aston Villa side who excel on home soil to be a big challenge for Enzo Maresca’s side.
Tip 4 – Alexander Isak to score against Nottingham Forest @ 26/25
Alexander Isak failed to register even a shot on target in Newcastle’s thrashing at Manchester City last weekend, but the Premier League’s fourth-highest scorer should have much more success against a Nottingham Forest side that have shipped seven goals in their last two away games in the top flight.
Isak has scored 15 times in his last 15 competitive starts for the Magpies and both scored and assisted in the reverse fixture against the Tricky Trees in October, so he’s a good bet to rediscover his shooting boots on Sunday.
Tip 5 – Mohamed Salah to score against Manchester City @ 5/4
Mohamed Salah leads the way in the Premier League goalscoring charts and could add to his tally at the Etihad on Sunday.
Liverpool’s talisman has scored 12 and assisted seven in his 22 meetings with the Citizens, with 13 of those goal contributions coming in his last 11 competitive starts against Pep Guardiola’s side.
