Odds taken from DraftKings on March 12.
Fulham vs Manchester City Prediction
Manchester City aim to continue their drive towards an English Premier League title triumph when they visit Fulham on Saturday.
Normal service was resumed last Wednesday when table-toppers City won 5-2 at home against Southampton following the end of their remarkable 21-game winning streak the previous weekend.
Fulham are in 18th place. However, they have been revitalized in their attempt to avoid relegation and pulled off a shock 2-0 win at Liverpool last time out.
At DraftKings, City are -295 favorites for a win with kick-off at 3:00 pm ET on EPL Matchday 28

Meanwhile, Fulham are a very wide +900 which may be worth a wild-card look.
A draw is priced at +390. But the best offer here is a spread choice for City to win by at least two goals at +106 (Asian Handicap -1.5).
With both the best offensive and defensive records in the competition, City are zooming in on their third title success in four seasons.
Pep Guardiola’s City team have a 14-point lead over second-placed Manchester United – who ended their neighbors’ long winning run with a 2-0 victory at the Etihad Stadium last Sunday.
With both the best offensive and defensive records in the competition, City are zooming in on their third title success in four seasons.
They have scored 61 times and conceded only 21 goals.

On the road, they have the third-best statistics with nine wins, three draws and only one defeat.
Conversely, Fulham have the second-worst home record with eight defeats, four draws and only two wins.
Scott Parker’s Fulham side have lost only once in the last seven fixtures. But they have scored a paltry eight goals at home while conceding 18 times.
Pick: Manchester City -1.5 (+106)
Arsenal vs Tottenham Prediction
Tottenham Hotspur have hit form in the EPL as they head into the north London derby at Arsenal at 11:30 am ET on Sunday in EPL Matchday 28.
Jose Mourinho’s Spurs’ side are on a three-game winning streak in the league and are in seventh place.
On the other hand, Arsenal have stuttered and have lost in three of their last six EPL outings to sit in 10th place.
DraftKings make Arsenal favorites for a win at +155 with Spurs at +185 – with the draw the best value at +230.

There have been two wins during Arsenal’s six-game spell and a 1-1 draw away at Burnley last time out.
However, the Gunners have not been convincing at home and have only the ninth-best record with five wins, five defeats and three draws.
Tottenham have been helped by the good form of Real Madrid loan star Gareth Bale who scored twice in the 4-1 home win against Crystal Palace.
Meanwhile, Tottenham have six wins, three draws and four defeats on the road; the seventh-best in the league.
Certainly, Tottenham have been helped by the good form of Real Madrid loan star Gareth Bale who scored twice in the last league fixture – a 4-1 home win against Crystal Palace.

England striker Harry Kane scored the other two goals and then followed up with two more in the 2-0 home defeat of Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League on Thursday.
Arsenal were 3-1 winners away at Olympiakos in the Europa League on the same night.
Pick: Draw +230
Manchester United vs West Ham Prediction
Buoyant West Ham could continue their surprisingly good season with a win at Manchester United on Sunday in EPL Matchday 28.
David Moyes’ Hammers side have won four of their last six EPL outings although they lost 1-0 at United in the FA Cup Fourth Round on February 9.
Set-pieces could be key here. Fifth-placed West Ham have scored more goals than any other EPL side from non-penalty dead-ball situations – 14 in all.
Meanwhile, by the same metric, United have the third-worst record with 10 goals conceded this way – with first-choice goalkeeper David De Gea possibly absent.

The oddsmakers at DraftKings make United favorites at -120 with kick-off at 2:15 pm ET. The draw is +255.
But the best value is in taking a chance on a West Ham win at an attractive +350.
They were 2-0 winners at home against Leeds United last Monday.
West Ham have been fairly impressive on the road with six wins, three draws and four defeats.
United were 2-0 winners at Manchester City last weekend. But before that there were successive 0-0 draws at Chelsea and Crystal Palace.
Furthermore, West Ham have been fairly impressive on the road with six wins, three draws and four defeats.

They drew 1-1 with AC Milan at Old Trafford in the Europa League on Thursday.
Pick: West Ham United +350
