Premier League Matchday 23 Preview: Arsenal Face Tough Liverpool Test

All eyes will be on the Emirates Stadium this weekend as Premier League title chasers Arsenal and Liverpool go head-to-head in a blockbuster showdown. 
 
With reigning champions Manchester City sandwiched in between the pair in the table, both sides will be desperate to pick up three points. 
 
Read on as we look at some of the best Premier League games for Matchday 23 to highlight the key betting angles to consider. 

Highlights

  • A tight contest on the cards at the Emirates.
  • Keep a close eye on Brereton-Diaz.
  • Manchester duo can hit the bookies.

Title-Chasers Set for Epic Battle

Liverpool head into the weekend with a five-point lead over Man City and Arsenal, which is a useful advantage to have with just 16 games remaining. 
 
However, they are unlikely to find things easy against an Arsenal team that cannot afford the gap to widen if they want to stay in the title race. 
 
Both sides will likely be happy with a point on Sunday, which makes odds of 13/5 on football betting sites for the game to finish as a draw look tempting. 

On-Loan Blades Star Worth Following

Ben Brereton-Diaz delivered a 5/1 return for us by getting on the scoresheet at Crystal Palace in midweek and he is worth following again on Saturday. 
 
Several new betting sites rate the on-loan forward as a 15/4 shot to add another goal to his Sheffield United tally at home to Aston Villa which still looks good value. 
 
Brereton-Diaz was noted for going on scoring runs during his time with Blackburn Rovers and could be a good bet to do the same with the Blades. 

Manchester Rivals Can Win Again

Manchester United and Manchester City both recorded victories in midweek and can follow up by winning their respective games this weekend. 
 
The Red Devils should be too strong for West Ham United at Old Trafford, while Man City are fancied to triumph on their visit to Brentford. 
 
The double pays odds of around 11/8 on UK betting apps and can deliver a welcome profit to punters to round off an exciting weekend in the Premier League.
