Premier League Gameweek 30 Tips: 70/1 Accumulator
After a 16-day hiatus for internationals and FA Cup quarter-finals, the Premier League makes a welcome midweek return with a full programme of games across three nights.
Champions League-chasing Nottingham Forest entertain Manchester United in the highlight of Tuesday's trio of games, while the Merseyside derby at Anfield gets top billing on Wednesday and London rivals Chelsea and Tottenham round things off at Stamford Bridge on Thursday.
We've put together a tasty Premier League accumulator that will pay out at 70/1 if successful.
TIP 1 – BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE – ARSENAL VS FULHAM @ 6/5
Arsenal vs Fulham (Tuesday 19:45)
Taking both teams to score in this London derby at the Emirates looks the way to go. Arsenal's title hopes are in tatters following a run of one Premier League win in four, while Fulham are fresh off the disappointment of exiting the FA Cup in a 3-0 loss at home against Crystal Palace.
The Cottagers failed to make their early dominance count in that contest and paid a hefty price.
Marco Silva's side have actually collected more points (12) than Arsenal (11) across their last six games in the league, while Fulham are unbeaten in the last three Premier League meetings between this pair, including a 2-2 draw at the Emirates last season.
Beaten 1-0 by Manchester United in the Premier League's curtain-raiser at Old Trafford back in August, Fulham have scored in all 13 away games since. They should contribute again here but they may not keep Arsenal at bay.
Tip 2 – JARROD BOWEN TO SCORE ANYTIME @ 13/5
Wolves vs West Ham (Tuesday 19:45)
Wolves and West Ham are the teams closest to the dreaded relegation zone but, in truth, the paucity of fight from Leicester and Ipswich means both these clubs are likely to cruise to safety.
In fact, a home win for Vitor Pereira and the Old Gold might render the relegation battle meaningless, as they would be a dozen points clear of the pair below them with games running out.
Wolves' record in this fixture is poor, however, as they have lost five of the last six Premier League meetings with West Ham, including a 2-1 London Stadium loss in December. Pereira and opposite number Graham Potter have taken over in the dugouts since that game.
This looks hard to call but backing Jarrod Bowen to get on the scoresheet appeals. The England international got the winner in December and has now got six goals in just 10 Premier League meetings with Wolves.
TIP 3 – NOTTINGHAM FOREST TO WIN @ 5/4
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester United (Tuesday 20:00)
Nottingham Forest continue to confound expectations and they secured a first FA Cup semi-final since 1991 by defeating Brighton on Saturday via penalties.
Nuno Espirito Santo has within his grasp a season that could bring a first FA Cup win since 1959 and a maiden qualification for the Champions League.
They are 17 points and 10 places above visitors Manchester United ahead of their City Ground clash and Forest are going for three successive Premier League wins over the Red Devils.
They are superbly well drilled and their ability to counter attack could be key in handing Ruben Amorim an eighth Premier League loss since arriving in November.
Forest have held Brighton, Arsenal and Manchester City goalless here in recent times, while United are looking to win back-to-back Premier League games for the first time this season. A home win looks overpriced.
TIP 4 – OVER 2.5 GOALS SOUTHAMPTON VS CRYSTAL PALACE @ 10/13
Southampton vs Crystal Palace (Wednesday 19:45)
Southampton are doomed and it appears the fight has gone out of the sorry Saints. They've lost five on the trot and conceded 17 goals in their previous five games at St Mary's, bringing their tally to 31 shipped in a sequence of nine straight losses here in the league.
Oliver Glasner and Crystal Palace meanwhile are riding high after booking their FA Cup semi-final spot with a 3-0 win at Fulham, making it seven wins in eight games in all competitions for the Eagles, with 13 goals scored in the last five games.
Over 2.5 goals has landed in three of Palace's last four games and each of Southampton's last five, while it also clicked in the reverse game at Selhurst Park in December.
TIP 5 – TOTTENHAM OR DRAW VS CHELSEA @ 13/10
Chelsea vs Tottenham (Thursday 20:00)
The final action comes at Stamford Bridge and Tottenham might be capable of inflicting a wound on Chelsea's hopes of a top-four finish.
The Blues have got Manchester City, Newcastle and Brighton breathing down their neck and Enzo Maresca's side have lost three of their last five Premier League games, the only wins coming at home to bottom pair Southampton and Leicester.
Spurs won three Premier League games on the trot in February, a first for Ange Postecoglou's side this season, but have taken just one point from nine since – though they did navigate into the Europa League last-eight during that run.
Chelsea have won the last three league meetings but their recent form isn't convincing and Tottenham's unpredictability means they are fancied at odds-against to avoid defeat for the third time in five league visits to the Bridge.
