Our Premier League Tips for the Gameweek 12 - 20/11/21

High-flyers Liverpool face an in-form Arsenal side in a mouthwatering weekend tie. Jurgen Klopp's side lost their first game of the season last time out against West Ham United, however, they are undefeated at home this season and have only dropped points against City, Chelsea, and Brighton at Anfield.

The Reds have also been in fine scoring form, with league top scorer Mohamed Salah already contributing to 17 goals in just 11 games. The Gunners travel to Anfield undefeated in the last eight but will face a fierce challenge on Saturday night, as Liverpool are still heavy favourites in this one as Arsenal haven't won at Anfield since 2012 and only beaten the Merseyside outfit three times in the league ever since.

Over 3.5 goals has come in during 17 out of the last 19 fixtures between the two in the Premier League, and Liverpool to win and over 3.5 goals priced at 2/1.

Everton travel to the Etihad this week facing a Manchester City side quickly becoming the threat we all expect them to be. After strolling to victory in the Manchester derby prior to the international break, City will come into this game high on confidence and looking to take advantage of an out-of-sorts Toffees side that are as inconsistent as it gets right now.

Rafa Benitez’s team are winless in five, unlikely to break this duct against the Citizens with Pep Guardiola looking to continue the free-scoring football they have become synonymous with, however, their record at home has taken a hit recently after losing to Crystal Palace 2-0 where they looked all over the place.

At the same time, Andros Townsend scored a Puskas-nominated goal against City two seasons ago with Palace and has five goals in nine games already for Everton. Given his 1.4 shots on target per game so far this season and City's questionable defence at times, at 20/1, we're backing the Englishman to get a shot on target in each half.

Brentford face a long trip up north to face football's wealthiest club. Amid all the positivity surrounding the recent takeover, the football on display at St James' Park isn’t quite as rich as the owners, finding themselves second from bottom with only five points on the board.

The big problem at Newcastle is a leaky defence, with the Magpies already having shipped 24 goals prior to facing a Brentford side who have scored in four of the past five. Newcastle have, however, netted in each home game besides when they welcomed table topping Chelsea, pointing to this fixture being an affair where both clubs will be confident of being on the scoresheet with both teams to score and over 2.5 goals priced at 6/5.

Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur play hosts to a Leeds outfit who have struggled to recreate the free-flowing, all-guns blazing football that captivated Premier League fans last season. Both teams will likely be disappointed with their respective starts to the season and will see this weekend as potential to capitalise against out-of-form opponents. Judging on past performances, goals will likely be scarce in north London this weekend, with the home side only scoring nine this campaign and the visitors at 11.

Marcelo Bielsa’s team have also been poor defensively, only keeping one clean sheet this season compared to the five of Spurs. With all this in mind, Tottenham will be favourites being priced at 9/4 to win to nil

On loan from Chelsea to Crystal Palace, Conor Gallagher is quickly becoming one of the breakout stars of the 2021/22 season and has even made his England debut as of last week weekend. Under new boss Patrick Vieira, the Englishman has been given more license to roam forward than what we saw last season with West Bromwich Albion clearly suiting him well, scoring four times and assisting twice already in the process - this surpasses last season's tally already

This weekend, the Eagles travel to Burnley who are unbeaten in the past three but have failed to keep a clean sheet each time out. In contrast, Palace have scored in their last six with Gallagher netting in the previous two. Now, the midfielder will be looking to continue this impressive run being priced at 3/1 to score anytime.
