Premier League Matchday 13 Preview: Top Two Teams Set for Epic Battle

The 2023/24 Premier League season resumes after the international break with a tasty line-up of matches scheduled over the weekend. 
 
The standout game is at the Etihad Stadium as reigning champions Manchester City go head-to-head with title hopefuls Liverpool. 
 
We look at this and some of the other standout games on Matchday 13 to highlight some of the key betting angles to consider. 

Just one point separates Man City and Liverpool at the top of the Premier League, setting up what promises to be an epic showdown at the Etihad on Saturday. 
 
Both sides have plenty of attacking talent at their disposal and they will fancy their chances of getting on the scoresheet this weekend. 
 
However, neither team will want to lose which makes odds of 31/10 on the best football betting sites for the game to be drawn look a tempting proposition. 

Goals have been flying in for most of the season in the Premier League, and things may well continue in the same vein this weekend. 
 
Backing 1.5 goals in the games at Man City, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, Brentford and Tottenham Hotspur could be the route to a tasty profit. 
 
The five-fold is priced at 11/4 on several new betting sites in the UK and looks well worth an interest this weekend. 

Tottenham and Aston Villa fans have seen plenty of goalmouth action this season, with the 12 games involving their teams tallying 85 goals. 
 
Spurs have several injuries in defence so may throw caution to the wind, while Villa are not afraid to take a gung-ho approach on the road. 
 
On that basis, odds of 13/10 for over 3.5 goals on numerous UK betting apps could deliver a tidy winning return to savvy punters.
