Premier League 25/26 Matchday 29 Betting Picks | The EPL Show (EP. 283)

Billi (@LockBettingSS) breaks down the EPL Matchday 29 slate. Premier League table-toppers Arsenal restored their five-point advantage over Manchester City with Sunday’s 2-1 derby defeat of Chelsea but with their title rivals having a game in hand and with an April trip to the Etihad to come, Mikel Arteta’s side cannot afford to let up.The Gunners slipped up twice last month, drawing with both Brentford and Wolves before routing Tottenham 4-1, and City fans will be hoping the north Londoners suffer the same fate at Brighton on Wednesday. As for City, they play hosts to relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest. Antoine Semenyo's strike against Leeds made it 6 wins on the spin for the title hopefuls and they haven’t lost a home since November, winning 11 of their 13 home games since.

Manchester United will look to maintain their challenge for the top five when Crystal Palace visit Old Trafford on Sunday.

Premier League 25/26 Matchday 28 Betting Picks | The EPL Show (EP. 282)

Billi (@LockBettingSS) breaks down the Matchday 27 EPL slate. Arsenal’s lead at the top of the Premier League table may have been cut to just two points by the time they take to the Emirates pitch on Sunday, as closest rivals Manchester City play Leeds on Saturday. Back-to-back draws with Brentford and doomed Wolves had led to the suggestion that Arsenal could be bottling it in the title tussle but an emphatic 4-1 North London Derby win last weekend has eased those concerns.Mikel Arteta’s side now face another local rival this weekend as Chelsea visit, but the Gunners have dominated this fixture in recent years. Arsenal beat Chelsea in both legs of their EFL Cup semi-finals in January and February and have won seven of the last 10 head-to-head meetings. The league leaders have also won 10 of their 13 home league games, losing just once, and have won each of their last four home games against Chelsea.
