PREMIER LEAGUE - WEEK 28
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City
An exciting opener to the weekends action as Forest host City in a battle of 3rd vs 4th. Both sides progressed to the FA Cup quarter finals last time out.
League form leaves a lot to be desired, despite an amazing season, Forest have managed only 1 win in the last 5 league games. City are 3 from 5, not great by their standards, but the losses came against 1st and 2nd.
Head to head, we see 5 games between these teams in the Premier League, with City winning 4 and 1 draw. City have been caught by the chasing pack, and will be looking to pull away and guarantee their UCL place as the season draws to a close. City are a massive price given the difference of quality.

Prediction: Manchester City -0.5 @ 1.91
Brighton vs Fulham
At the Amex we have 2 sides chasing European spots, with only a point separating them.
Both teams have won 3 out of their last 5, although it looks a little better for Brighton with a 3 game win streak, the run followed a 7-0 loss to Forest though.
An interesting stat between these teams, in all 9 of their Premier League meetings, Brighton have never taken the spoils, with 5 Fulham victories and 4 draws. Fulham certainly seem like a bogey team for the Seagulls, and they’ve travelled very well this season, picking up more points away than home.
Brighton are very short with their home advantage. Will it be 10th time lucky against the Cottagers? Check our Brighton vs Fulham markets here.
Prediction: Fulham +0.5 @ 1.91
Manchester United vs Arsenal
Arsenal have been slacking off recently, with a draw against Forest and a loss against London rivals West Ham in their last 2. Although it looks like Liverpool’s lead is beyond reach, the gap back to 3rd is by no means safe, and bitter rivals United will be trying to put the pressure on at Old Trafford.
Games between these 2 are always tight, especially at Old Trafford, where the last 5 have seen 2 wins each and a draw, with only 1 victory settled with a 2 goal margin, with the others decided by a single goal.
Arsenal are very short away here, in what should be a competitive game. We’re getting a good price on Arsenal not to win. Check our Manchester United vs Arsenal markets here.
Prediction: Manchester United +0.5 @ 2.25
