Arsenal vs Manchester United Prediction

Arsenal erupted out of their slump with a 4-2 win over Chelsea in midweek. The victory pulled the Gunners level on points with Tottenham, and gives them immense confidence ahead of the visit of Manchester United.

The Red Devils are in disarray. They are in a waiting period after confirming Erik ten Hag as their next manager, and they head into this fixture without Raphael Varane, Paul Pogba, Fred, Luke Shaw and Edinson Cavani. Arsenal should name the same XI that beat Chelsea with Eddie Nketiah leading the line — the 22-year-old is a good bet at +230 to score anytime.

While the table suggests United are still in the top four race, their abysmal performances of late show us otherwise. They were humiliated in the 4-0 defeat to Liverpool a few days ago, and only five teams have collected fewer points since February 21st.

Arsenal have the second-most expected points since the start of March. Manchester United are second-bottom by the same metric. United has the talent to get a result on Saturday, but it would be a minor miracle given the state of the club right now.

Pick: Arsenal moneyline (+107)

Leicester vs Aston Villa Prediction

Leicester have won three consecutive home league matches. Aston Villa, after an early bounce under the guidance of Steven Gerrard, have succumbed to four straight league defeats. The Foxes are priced at +195 to win this one following a late draw with Everton in midweek.

Brendan Rodgers has shuffled his pack of late, particularly at the back. He’s without Jamie Vardy, Ryan Bertrand and Wilfred Ndidi, but the ability in this Leicester squad shouldn’t be overlooked despite an underwhelming season. They haven’t lost at the King Power Stadium in over three months.

Gerrard and Villa will have appreciated the couple of weeks without a match. The considerable rest advantage is probably playing into their short odds here, yet this is still a team low on confidence. They were wide open to the counter against Spurs last time out, and Leicester will punish a defensive performance of that nature. Given Leicester’s record in front of their own, they’re a really good value bet to win here.

Pick: Leicester moneyline (+195)

Crystal Palace vs Leeds Prediction

Crystal Palace have put in some marquee performances this term and played some exciting stuff. Leeds were threatened by relegation for much of the season and faced some heavy defeats. In late April, though, just four points separate the sides with Palace having lost two on the bounce and Leeds winning three of their last four.

Jesse Marsch has had a quick impact in Yorkshire, tightening up the defense and securing some crucial results. Patrick Vieira has done a stellar job at Selhurst Park too and saw his side thrash Arsenal in their last home match. The Eagles are the best of the rest in the expected goals table this term and have lost just once in their last seven at home.

This should be an entertaining game. There will be plenty of space for both teams to attack, making both teams to score a decent bet at -148. Taking Palace’s home form into account, we like the value of parlaying BTTS with the hosts to avoid defeat.

Pick: Crystal Palace win or draw and both teams to score (+117)
