2017-18 Premier League – Saturday 16th December Matches Betting Preview

The Premier League continues on Saturday and after an entertaining midweek round we have seven more matches in the top flight to enjoy on what should be another good day of action. Many of the title protagonists and those fighting at the bottom are in action so we should have much to enjoy.

With it being a Saturday fixture list we have an early match and a late game as well as a bunch of matches at the usual time so there is plenty to get stuck into.

Early Kick Off

The busy day gets underway at the King Power Stadium when two form sides meet as Leicester City host Crystal Palace. Leicester go in search of a fifth straight win while Palace will be looking a win which could move them out of the relegation zone so it should be an entertaining start to the action.

3pm Matches

Arsenal are in action at the usual 3pm slot on Saturday. They host a Newcastle side who are in freefall. Two sides who are surprising people meet at the Amex Stadium when Brighton host Burnley while the champions Chelsea take on Southampton at Stamford Bridge. There is a big game down at the bottom of the table when Stoke City welcome West Ham to the Bet365 Stadium while Watford take on Huddersfield in the other game.

Late Game

As has been the case on a number of Saturday’s this season the best match has been saved until last as the flying league leaders Man City take on a Tottenham side who were expected to challenge them for the title but who have lost their way a little lately. Nevertheless these two are two of the better sides in the division and they should put on a good show.

Betting

There is just the one bet I like on Saturday and it comes in the first game of the day when Leicester take on a Crystal Palace side who are amazingly still looking for their first goal on the road this season. This will be their ninth away game which is quite frankly a terrible record. While Palace have tightened up significantly under Hodgson they face a Leicester side who are buzzing at the minute.

They have won their last four matches and are scoring plenty of goals. Claude Puel has got the attacking players firing but they haven’t lost too much in defensive areas as a result which is a positive. Everything we’ve seen both recently and the season as a whole suggests that the Foxes should be an awful lot shorter than they are here.

Tips
