Two shocks within a week, Unai Emery has seen the Arsenal fanbase echo a similar tone that had become the norm in the last few years. There have been growing talks of the 22-game unbeaten run being a lucky streak, all of which the manager will hope his players put to bed when they meet Burnley.

Burnley are on the opposite end of the spectrum, struggling to remain away from the relegation zone. Expect a few hiccups from Arsenal. But, the Gunners should be able to get their show back on track.

Favourable Bets

1. Alexandre Lacazette to score anytime @ 1.66

Underdog Bets

1. Half-Time/Full-Time Result – Draw/Arsenal @ 4.00

Chelsea vs Leicester

Just like every other mid-table team, Leicester have petered out after a steady run and are now 12th on the Premier League table. For Chelsea, it is more a case of trying to take advantage of the boost in momentum and morale they received from the win over Manchester City and adding to it with every passing match.

Against Leicester, they will have problems dealing with the directness of their attacks, especially the pace of their counters. Expect this match to go to the wire as well, with Chelsea perhaps eking out all three points.

Favourable Bets

1. Leicester Asian Handicap +1.5 @ 1.920

2. Both Teams to Score – YES @ 2.05

Underdog Bets

1. Correct Scoreline – Chelsea 2-1 Leicester @ 9.00

Cardiff vs Manchester United

A game that sees Ole Gunnar Solskjaer take charge of his first game as the Manchester United boss is always going to be heavy with emotions. But, to do it against the club where he failed as a manager will perhaps add a bit more tinge to the storyline. We have seen teams respond positively to mid-season managerial departures in the past and it is likely we will see one here on Saturday.

Favourable Bets

1. Manchester United to win @ 1.61

2. Marcus Rashford to score anytime @ 2.50

Underdog Bets

1. Marcus Rashford to score 2 or more @ 9.00

Miscellaneous Bets

Newcastle vs Fulham pits two great managers head-to-head, with Rafa Benitez looking for stability and Claudio Ranieri looking for wins. Bournemouth battle Brighton, with both fizzling out after good results this season. Manchester City are tipped to tear apart Crystal Palace.

But, Tottenham could find Goodison Park a tad bit difficult to conquer.

Favourable Bets

1. Bournemouth to beat Brighton @ 1.90

2. West Ham to beat Watford @ 2.37

3. Everton vs Tottenham – Both Teams to Score – YES @ 1.61

Underdog Bets

1. Newcastle vs Fulham – Full Time Result – Draw @ 3.60

2. Everton vs Tottenham – Full Time Result – Draw @ 3.50
