Premier League Matchday 17 Preview: Title-Chasers Fancied to Deliver

The Premier League season continues apace this weekend with another crucial set of fixtures lined-up which will impact both ends of the table. 
 
The standout game is on Sunday at Anfield, as title-chasing Liverpool bid to inflict more misery on bitter rivals Manchester United. 
 
Read on as we look at some of the best Premier League games on Matchday 17 to highlight the key betting angles to consider. 

Highlights

  • Forest sliding into trouble.
  • Over 1.5 goals market can deliver winning return.
  • Weekend four-fold could be worth chancing.

Forest Looking Nervously Over the Shoulders

A run of five games without a win has left Nottingham Forest looking nervously over their shoulders and they could be in more trouble after this weekend. 
 
Forest are priced at odds of 11/4 to be relegated on the top football betting sites which may tempt savvy punters looking for a value bet. 
 
The teams below Forest in the table have shown signs of life in recent games and things could look much worse after their home game against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. 

Goals on the Cards in the Midst of a Hectic Spell

Goalless draws and 1-0 scorelines remain an infrequent occurrence in the Premier League, which makes the over 1.5 goals market a tempting proposition. 
 
The games at Bournemouth, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Arsenal, Brentford and West Ham United could deliver plenty of goals this weekend. 
 
The six-fold pays odds of around 9/4 on several betting apps and could deliver a useful winning return to punters this weekend. 

Title-Chasers Fancied to Keep Rolling

The top four teams in the Premier League all have winnable-looking games this weekend and could be worth chancing in a multiple wager. 
 
Man City should beat Crystal Palace on Saturday, while Arsenal, Aston Villa and Liverpool look good bets to win their respective games the following day. 
 
The four-fold can be backed at around 4/1 on numerous new betting sites and looks well worth an interest.
