Sheffield United vs Tottenham
Sheffield United host Tottenham Hotspur at Bramell Lane on Friday July 3 at 3.00am (all times AEST).
It hasn’t been the start that the Blades would have liked, suffering three defeats and a draw since the Premier League restart. And results aside, what is even more damning about Chris Wilder’s men is that they have had only one shot on target in their last three matches and just registering one goal, which came in their 2-1 defeat of Arsenal last week.
However, the good news for Sheffield is that they are still one point behind seventh place Tottenham and are eyeing a European spot, and have not lost to Tottenham in the top flight since 1975.
For Tottenham, they have not lost since the restart after drawing 1-1 against Manchester United and winning against London rivals West Ham 2-0 a week ago.
Harry Kane looks to have recovered from his hamstring tear and found himself on the scoresheet in the 2-0 win against West Ham.
Sheffield United have not hit the ground running like they did at the start of the campaign and have leaked eight goals since the restart. The Spurs haven’t set the world on fire either but know how to get a result.
Tip: Draw @ $3.25
The Premier League champions head to the Etihad Stadium to take on Manchester City on Friday July 3 at 5.15am.
The Premier League may have already been won by Liverpool even without them playing, but this fixture is always one to keep an eye on.
Jurgen Klopp’s men can pounce on furthering their gap between first place and second place, as well as eyeing the 100-point mark for the season.
Liverpool would also want to make a statement that they are deserving champions and what better way to do it than against City.
City meanwhile, would want to make amends for their 2-1 defeat of Chelsea, having been outclassed by Frank Lampard’s men last week.
City suffered a major blow in the match against Chelsea as midfielder Fernandinho will miss the next two matches after he received a red card in the contest.
There is no question that this will be a fast-paced game and expect goals with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling, Mo Salah and Sadio Mane all expecting to show what they are the capable of.

Chelsea head to London Stadium in search of winning their third-straight game as they take on West Ham United on Thursday, July 2 at 5.15am.
Chelsea have been impressive since the restart claiming two straight wins, with their most impressive coming against Manchester City last week. The Blues won 2-1 as they look to claim a top three spot to play Champions League football.
This week, they face London rivals West Ham, who have suffered back-to-back 2-0 defeats since the restart at the hands of Wolverhampton and Tottenham and are only above the relegation zone by goal difference.
Frank Lampard has made American winger Christian Pulisic one to watch since the restart as he has scored against Aston Villa and Manchester City.
The Blues manager will also be keeping a close tab on how West Ham midfielder Declan Rice performs as he is rumoured to be a big fan and keen to get him to Stamford Bridge next season.
There is still some worries for Chelsea - as their defence has not been up to scratch and leaking a few goals. But going forward Chelsea will be a threat for West Ham, who have let in 54 goals this season.
Tip: Chelsea win $1.53
