There’s been a power shift in the Premier League. Chelsea’s league title seems a long time ago now as Pep’s Sky Blue evolution has dominated the season.
Back in the capital city, Spurs are yet to win silverware, while Arsenal have fallen off the pace and, until recently, Manchester United looked like the only team prepared to challenge City. So I’m heading North for this weeks EPL Asian Handicap Betting picks with three more cracking football games to enjoy.
Burnley vs Manchester City (February 3, 20:30 GMT+8)
Pep Guardiola takes his league leaders to Turf Moor as they seek to see off another tricky opponent on their march towards the title. The Clarets are without a win in eight but, before losing in the FA Cup to City last month, they held a half time lead so they should be well up for the fight. Burnley have a long injury list and will need to dig deep.
I don’t think it will be a rout, and so I’m backing 2-3 goals for a bet at 2.08.
Manchester United vs Huddersfield Town (February 3, 23:00 GMT+8)
It all went wrong at Wembley for Jose’s boys in midweek and with Spurs looking in fine form, the Red Devils can’t yet be sure of a top four place. So I expect a clinical performance at home to the Terriers who are leaking goals at an alarming rate in their slide down the table. And what price Alexis Sanchez scoring on his home debut?
Manchester United should keep a clean sheet so, for a bet at 1.93, under 3 goals looks a likely option.
Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United (February 4, 22:15 GMT+8)
Newcastle are another big northern club with a rich tradition but with little to cheer about in recent times. A home draw with Burnley wasn’t a bad result but the Magpies remain a single point above the drop. The Eagles have climbed up to 13th, but there’s plenty of work to do and defeat to Newcastle would see them leap-frogged and back in the mire.
I think that may be a step too far for the Geordies and so I’m backing a draw at 3.35 for a bet.
