There are 3 English Premier League matches taking place on Sunday and we take a look at each of them from a betting angle.
Heading into the weekend, Manchester City are 1/12 favourites to retain their title with Arsenal at 8/1 the only other side with a mathematical chance. You can also get betting on relegation, to finish bottom and winner without the big 6.

Brentford v West Ham – Click here to bet
Brentford are currently 9th on the log and they have been a bit erratic in recent weeks with 2 losses, 2 wins and a draw in their last 5. They lost 1-0 away to Liverpool last time out and their last home game was a 2-1 win over Nottingham.
West Ham are 15th on the log and they broke a 3 match losing run with a much needed 3 pointer last time out beating Manchester United 1-0 at home. They lost their last away game 3-0 to Manchester City and they have won just 3 times in 17 starts on the road this season.
Brentford beat West Ham 2-0 on the road in the reverse fixture earlier this season and last season they won this fixture by the same margin.
Brentford have only lost twice at home this season and I think they can take another 3 points here.
Suggested Bet: Brentford win at 11/10

Everton v Manchester City – Click here to bet
Everton are currently 17th on the log and sitting just outside the relegation zone. They got a much needed 3 pointer last time out when they hammered Brighton 5-1 on the road, their first win in 7 matches. Everton have only won 1 of their last 5 home games.
Manchester City are top of the table, 1 point clear of Arsenal with a game in hand. They have won their last 10 League matches including beating Leeds 2-1 at home last time out and their last away game was a 2-1 win at Fulham.
These sides drew 1-1 at City earlier in the season and Everton went down 1-0 at home in this fixture last season.
Manchester City have a big UEFA semi-final coming on Wednesday and I think they would like to win this one without putting too much on the line. That may just give a rejuvenated Everton side hope and I am tempted by the 7/1 about an Everton win. In the end I am opting for a more conservative strategy and I am going for Everton to stay within 2 goals or in other words not to lose by more than a goal.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Everton +1.5 at 5/6
Arsenal v Brighton – Click here to bet
Arsenal are 2nd on the table and have bounced back with a 4 match run without a win with back-to-back victories away at Newcastle and at home to Chelsea.
Brighton are 7th on the log and are coming off a shock 5-1 defeat to Everton, a game where they started 7/20 favourites. They have the 4th best away record in the League, but have lost two of their last three on the road.
Arsenal’s last 5 home games have at least 4 goals in them and I am predicting more of the same in this one.
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 13/10
