5 Boosted Odds Tips for the PL’s Midweek Action - 1/12/21

Aston Villa and Manchester City go head to head at Villa Park on Wednesday night in the Premier League in a battle of second versus 13th in the Premier League table.

The Villains come into this match in good form, having won both games under new manager Steven Gerrard, defeating both Brighton & Hove Albion and Crystal Palace by 2-0 and 2-1 scorelines and will be quietly optimistic that they can pull off a shock in front of their own crowd when they take on the champions.

On the other hand, City have won four of their last five games in the Premier League following a 4-1 win at Brighton, before losing 2-0 to Crystal Palace, as well as defeating Manchester United 2-0, Everton 3-0 and West Ham 2-1 last Sunday as goals by Gundogan and Fernandinho settled the outcome against the Hammers.

An out of form Everton host city rivals Liverpool at Goodison Park on Wednesday.

Rafael Benitez’s side are under huge pressure having not won a match since late September when they beat Norwich City 2-0 at home and fans of the Toffees might be fearing the worst coming into this match due to the form Liverpool are in.

Jurgen Klopp’s men have won their last two Premier League matches by 4-0 scorelines against both Arsenal and Southampton, of which Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota both scored against the Gunners, whilst Jota also bagged a brace versus Southampton.

Salah has scored 11 and created nine assists in 13 Premier League appearances, whilst Jota has found the back of the net seven times in 12. Both of these players have scored in the same league match on four different occasions, doing so versus Norwich, Brentford, Manchester United and Arsenal.

High-flying Wolverhampton Wanderers take on Burnley at Molineux in what is expected to be a closely fought match between sixth and 18th in the Premier League standings.

Bruno Lage’s side have 20 points to their name after 13 matches, scoring 12 but conceding 12, whilst the Clarets have nine points, finding the back of the net 14 times but leaking 20 in 12 matches following the postponement of their weekend fixture against Tottenham Hotspur due to adverse weather conditions.

So far this season, Maxwel Cornet has been a revelation for the Clarets since joining from Ligue 1 outfit Olympique Lyon in the summer, as the Ivorian winger has fired in five goals in seven matches, averaging a goal every 90 minutes, seeing the 25-year-old potentially be at good value having been priced at 20/1 to score from outside the box at Wolves.

Spurs face Brentford at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in what will be Antonio Conte’s fifth game as manager of the Lilywhites since the sacking of Nuno Espirito Santo.

Conte’s side will be desperate to bounce back from their humiliating 2-1 loss to Mura in the Europa Conference League last Thursday, having missed out on playing at Burnley at Sunday due to a fixture postponement.

Spurs know that they can potentially close the gap to the top four with a victory over Brentford on Wednesday, whilst the Bees are aiming for back to back victories having defeated Everton 1-0 at the weekend thanks to an Ivan Toney penalty.

A player that Conte will be relying on if his side are to step up their bid to qualify for next season’s Champions League is club captain Harry Kane, whose goal against Mura on Thursday was his eighth of the season. The 28-year-old has scored just one Premier League goal in 11 appearances having won last season’s Golden Boot with a tally of 23 and is priced at 8/1 to score a header versus Brentford.

The final tip on this list comes from Manchester United versus Arsenal as two old nemeses face off at Old Trafford on Thursday looking to climb up the Premier League table.

At present, Cristiano Ronaldo is United’s top scorer with 10 goals and two assists in 15 appearances so far this season and historically has a decent record against the Gunners, firing in six goals in 15 appearances for United, back in the days where the 36-year-old was predominantly a right-winger.

Meanwhile, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored four goals in seven matches against United, including the winner as the Gunners ended a winless league drought at Old Trafford stretching back to 2006 last season via the Gabon international’s goal from the penalty spot. The former Borussia Dortmund man has found the back of the net seven times in 13 matches so far this season.
