Premier League Game Week 17 Predictions and Tips

The COVID-19 pandemic might rule out a game or two from the midweek programme, although there are currently ten matches due to be staged.

Three clashes on Tuesday including Manchester United heading to Brentford, while Arsenal entertain West Ham on Wednesday.

On Thursday, Chelsea and Liverpool are short-priced favourites to claim three points, while Leicester clash with Spurs.

Premier league betting tips week 17 - 14th & 15th December 2021

TUESDAY 14TH DECEMBER

Brentford 19:30 Manchester United

The Red Devils were unconvincing when winning 1-0 at Carrow Road. David de Gea was typically strong between the sticks. It looks as though Manchester United will be missing key personnel through COVID, with Brentford or the draw looking the best option. Thomas Frank’s side came from behind to beat Watford and dominated possession.

BEST BET: Brentford or Draw

Norwich City 19:45 Aston Villa

Norwich are seriously short of goals and it will probably mean they are relegated. The Canaries were an even match for Manchester United on Saturday although came off worse due to a failure to create chances. We think Aston Villa will keep things tight here and we can’t see more than two goals being scored.

BEST BET: Under 2.5 Goals

Manchester City 20:00 Leeds United

Manchester City are massive odds-on although there could be merit in backing the home win and both teams to find the net. This happened in the five games previously to the Citizens’ 1-0 win over Wolves on Saturday. Leeds lost 3-2 at Chelsea and they will have another go at high-flying opponents here before focusing on landing points against more modest opponents.

WEDNESDAY 15TH DECEMBER

Brighton 19:30 Wolves

Brighton have drawn nine of their previous eleven matches and we might see another Seagulls clash end all square. Graham Potter’s side don’t tend to score or concede a lot, while the same can be said of Wolverhampton Wanderers. The visitors are missing Raul Jimenez although the form of Conor Coady and Jose Sa have been really impressive this term.

BEST BET: Draw

Burnley 19:30 Watford

Burnley’s 3-3 draw against Crystal Palace looks to be something of an outlier considering that the Clarets have reverted to type in recent clashes. They have scored just one goal in their past three matches. In each of those games, there have been just one shot on target. Watford are involved in higher-scoring games although a 1-0 scrappy victory would give them breathing space.

BEST BET: Under 2.5 Goals

Crystal Palace 19:30 Southampton

Patrick Vieira saw his Palace team claim a 3-1 win over Everton on Sunday although all three goals were gift-wrapped by the Toffees. It might be tougher breaking down a Southampton side who have lost seven of their sixteen Premier League clashes this season. We think the draw offers better value than the home win.

BEST BET: Draw

Arsenal 20:00 West Ham United

A high-scoring London derby could be on the cards here. Arsenal have scored in seven of their eight games at the Emirates Stadium this term, with Mikel Arteta’s side having beaten Southampton 3-0. West Ham were nullified by Burnley at the weekend although they have scored twelve goals in eight away games.

THURSDAY 16TH DECEMBER

Leicester City 19:30 Tottenham Hotspur

Leicester are favourites to win this clash although a 4-0 win over Newcastle doesn’t paper over the defensive cracks at the King Power. Spurs arrive having scored five goals in two matches and they will be raring to go after an enforced break. We think that both sides are likely to find the net over the ninety minutes here.

Chelsea 19:45 Everton

Chelsea needed a late Jorginho penalty to overcome Leeds United, although they might find things easier against an Everton side who continue to plummet down the table. Rafael Benitez must be thinking it might be better to walk away from a toxic situation and this could be a clash where Romelu Lukaku fills his boots.

BEST BET: Chelsea -2

Liverpool 20:00 Newcastle United

Liverpool can make short work of a Newcastle team who were thrashed 4-0 at the King Power Stadium on Sunday. The Reds were limited to one goal against Aston Villa although they usually fill their boots against these sort of opponents. Diego Jota should be back in the starting line-up and this might be a sizeable win.
