ROBBIE SLATER’S EPL ODDS FEAST
AUSTRALIAN soccer legend Robbie Slater brings the heat with his picks for this week’s Premier League slate.
LEICESTER CITY V MANCHESTER CITY
Back-to-back wins for the first time this season set up Leicester for this clash with the champions. Man City is unbeaten in 23 of its past 26 away games and has not conceded a goal in its past three visits to King Power stadium.
THE PICK: Man City win, Over 3.5 goals, Haaland anytime goal scorer - $2.50
NEWCASTLE V ASTON VILLA
Newcastle is the form team in the English Premier Leageue with four wins and a draw in its past five and has only lost once this season. The Magpies are up against a Villa side that concedes on average nearly two goals a game away from home.
THE PICKS: Newcastle win, over 2.5 goals,
Villa not to score - $8
BOURNEMOUTH V TOTTENHAM
Both these teams have lost their past two games. Spurs have only won one of their past six away games and will be desperate for the points here after losing fourth spot to Newcastle last week.
THE PICKS: Spurs win, Both teams to score, Son anytime goal scorer: - $5
BRIGHTON V CHELSEA
Head-to-head five of these teams’ past six encounters have ended in a draw. I see a Chelsea win here, as Brighton has only one win in its past seven matches. Chelsea is undefeated in its past nine, winning six of them.
THE PICKS: Chelsea win, under 2.5 goals - $4.75
LIVERPOOL V LEEDS UNITED
Difficult to see anything other than a Liverpool win. In their past six head-to-head games, the Reds have won five and drawn once. Leeds is on a run of four straight defeats. Don’t think that run stops here.
