The midweek action in the Premier League continues on Wednesday evening when five matches take place on a night where we will see the top three all taking to the pitch as the title battle plays out another chapter of the story.
All five matches will be shown live on TV in the UK but they do all overlap so if you want to keep up to date with all of them you are going to need plenty of devices! There are some good matches to pick and choose from if you don’t have many options though.
Wednesday’s fixtures are as follows: (7.30pm unless stated; UK TV in brackets)
Brentford vs Everton (TNT Sports 5)
Manchester United vs Ipswich Town (TNT Sports 4)
Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal (TNT Sports 2)
Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City (TNT Sports 3)
Liverpool vs Newcastle United (8.15pm – TNT Sports 1)

Preview
This looks like a good evening of football and it will be headlined by the dress rehearsal of the Carabao Cup final next month when Liverpool play host to Newcastle United with the Reds looking to continue their charge to the title while Newcastle will be hoping to push closer to Champions League football next term. Third host second in the other key game on the evening when Nottingham Forest look to revive their form when they welcome an Arsenal side who are the only realistic chasers of Liverpool to the City Ground.
In a normal season a card that has Tottenham Hotspur against Manchester City on it would have that as the headline but City’s struggles and Spurs’ inefficiencies have put that lower down the card. Manchester United will look to build on their comeback at Everton at the weekend when they host relegation threatened Ipswich Town while the other match comes from the Gtech Stadium where Brentford will look to pick up successive wins when they host an Everton side who are rejuvenated under David Moyes.
Betting
It is a decent card from a watching point of view on Wednesday but there isn’t a huge amount that I like from a betting one with just the one bet catching my eye. That comes at Old Trafford where two sides who can’t stop conceding meet in a match which I inevitably think will contain goals when Manchester United play host to Ipswich Town, two sides who need a win but for very different reason and will probably see this as an opportunity to do just that.
Ipswich have only kept two clean sheets all season and are conceding some really soft goals at the minute with defensive players looking tired mentally as well as physically. United only have one shutout since the opening day of December and that came on the road so the home defence at Old Trafford is as leaky as the roof above it. That leads me to thinking that both teams will score in this one but with the draw being of no real use to either team I’ll gladly bump the price up a notch by adding over 2.5 goals into the mix too.
