2020-21 Premier League – Saturday 2nd January Matches Tips, TV and Betting Preview

The Premier League continues on Saturday afternoon with another four matches making up a great day of action in the top flight as the games come one after another as we are beginning to get used to in these behind closed doors times.

We have to wait until later in the weekend to see the majority of the title protagonists but there is one on show on a Saturday where the majority of the attention will come at the bottom of the table. All four matches are live on TV in the UK.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Leeds United (12.30 – BT Sport 1)

Preview

Unlike the majority of Saturday’s this season, the pick of the matches is actually the first one up in the day as Tottenham Hotspur will look to utilise their counterattacking style when they host a Leeds United team who you would think will shape up pretty well for them. The second match then sees an out of form Crystal Palace side take on a Sheffield United team who will be looking to deliver a much better 2021 than they managed in 2020.

The attention remains at the bottom of the table in the last two matches of the evening beginning with a Brighton and Hove Albion side who play a lot of pretty football but rarely get the results to match it. They will be looking for their first home win of the season when they host Wolverhampton Wanderers, who themselves are beginning to flatter to deceive. The action concludes at The Hawthorns where Arsenal will look to build on their midweek win when they travel to take on a West Bromwich Albion side who will be hoping to avoid another thumping.

Betting

I’ll go with the one bet for the action on Saturday and it comes in the opening match where I’m expecting to see plenty of goals. I see the match between Tottenham Hotspur and Leeds United similar to the one which the Whites played against Manchester United not so long ago. I’m not necessarily expecting Tottenham to win 6-2 or anything like that, but there is a chance they could run riot if they are on a going day.

What I like about this match is neither manager is going to change their usual style here. Tottenham can play on the counter and Leeds will take the game to them and play into their hands somewhat. There was the concern that Spurs would have to make changes after playing on Wednesday night but that match didn’t happen so there is no reason why they won’t go in strong here so with both teams getting to play how they want I like over 3.25 goals here.
