EPL Betting Preview & Tips | Matchday 26

Leicester vs Arsenal

The Gunners will travel north to Leicester on Sunday, February 28 at 11:00pm (all times AEDT).

The Foxes remain right in contention for the title and will be hoping to shorten the 10-point gap that is above them in their chase for top place.

Following consecutive victories over Liverpool and Aston Villa, Leicester have moved back level on points with Manchester United and sit third-place on the Premier League table.

Eight spots below them are Arsenal, who have suffered three defeats in their past four matches and will welcome Portuguese giants Benfica on Friday before their trip to the King Power.

The Foxes will also host a Europa League clash prior to the weekend, hosting Slavia Praha in the second leg of their Round of 32 match, with the first 90 minutes ending goalless.

Both managers will be heavily relying on their squad depth due to the congested fixtures, with Leicester star James Maddison in a race against the clock to be fit for the weekend, while Arsenal could welcome back midfielder Thomas Partey.

The Gunners haven’t defeated Leicester in the Premier League since October 2018, with their last win at the King Power coming a further three years back.

Foxes forward has a glamourous habit of finding the next against the Gunners, scoring 11 goals in 12 league games against Arsenal, including a late winner in this season’s corresponding fixture.

Should the cult hero be on his game once again, it could be a long night for the men in red.

Chelsea vs Manchester United

The Red Devils will head to Stamford Bridge on Monday, March 1 at 3:30am.

Six points separate Chelsea and United within the top five places of the table, with the latter heading to London this weekend to face the Blues in hope of extending their quest for top spot.

Both club’s will be coming off midweek continental clashes, with Chelsea claiming a vital win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League while United will host Real Sociedad on Friday in the Europa.

A 4-0 victory the week prior will give United a helpful boost in not having to run out with a full strength side against the in-form Spaniards, with a main focus on their Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues are undefeated in their past nine fixtures across all competitions and will be hoping to move into the top four bracket of the top flight this weekend.

United’s form has rana similar path, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side going four wins and three draws across their past seven games.

The reverse fixture ended 0-0 last October, with Thomas Tuchel set to bring plenty of tenacity in this clash to extend his impressive start with the Blues.

Our Tip: Both Teams To Score @ $1.66

Everton vs Southampton

The Toffees will host Southampton on Tuesday, March 2 at 7:00am.

Juxtaposing past sevens days for both clubs, with Everton claiming their first win at Anfield since 1999 while the Saints extended their league winless run to eight matches, recording one draw and seven losses in that period.

The Toffees’ 2-0 victory over arch-rivals Liverpool had the Blue faithful of the Merseyside rocking all week, with their fans hoping the form extends this weekend with a chance to surpass the Reds on the table.

Everton are now placed seventh on the league table, with the Saints a further seven places below them with 30 points to their name from 25 matches.

The poor run of form has mounted plenty of pressure on manager Ralph Hasenhuttl, who will be hoping for a replay of the two cub’s clash earlier in the season that saw the Saints end the 90 minutes 2-0 to the good.

Everton are set to welcome back star striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin this weekend, with in-form forward Richarlison set to be pushed to the wing while hoping his hot form continues.

Should either of Carlo Ancelotti’s star duo find the net in Matchday 26, it will be a difficult task for the Saints to overcome having scored multiple goals in just one of their past 13 league fixtures.

Our Tip: Everton Win @ $2.10
