EPL 2021/22 Matchweek 10 preview & top betting picks

This weekend’s English Premier League betting board is highlighted by two excellent matchups in Tottenham vs Manchester United and Liverpool vs Brighton. We’ve got picks in those two big games as well as one in Sunday’s Norwich City vs Leeds United match in our EPL Matchweek 10 best bets.

Liverpool vs Brighton

Liverpool (6-3-0) has won each of its last two EPL matches by the score of 5-0 in road victories over Watford and Manchester United. Brighton (4-3-2) is off to a surprisingly strong start in 2021-22 with the sixth-best record on the EPL table after finishing in 16th place with a 9-14-15 record last season.

The key to Brighton’s success this season has been its defense, which has allowed only nine goals in nine matches thus far. Unfortunately for the road team, Liverpool’s defense has been even better with only six goals conceded in 2021-22 while also leading the league in goals scored with 27. Look for Mohamed Salah to continue his red-hot start to the season and for Liverpool to cover the spread with a win by two or more goals.

Tottenham vs Manchester United

Tottenham (5-0-4) and Manchester United (4-2-3) are both sitting right on the outside of the top five in the standings. Tottenham suffered a 1-0 loss on the road to West Ham in its last match while Manchester United picked up a second straight loss in its 5-0 home loss against Liverpool. United has conceded nine goals over its last two games. Cristiano Ronaldo has scored three goals in six matches since returning to Manchester, but his presence is at least partially responsible for the team’s recent struggles in their own zone.

Harry Kane meanwhile has been uncharacteristically struggling in the offensive end this season with only one goal in eight matches. Tottenham’s offense has mustered up only nine goals through the club’s first nine games. Despite Manchester United’s recent struggles, we’re going to take them on the road here as their superior offense should be the difference in this match between two under-performing squads.

Norwich City vs Leeds United

This isn’t a match that is going to be circled on too many people’s schedules as must-see TV. Leeds United (1-4-4) enters the weekend sitting in 17th place on the EPL table with seven points while Norwich City (0-2-7) sits in dead last with two points.

We’re going to take the UNDER 2.5 goals in this matchup. Yes, Norwich City has been torched for 23 goals this season, but 15 of those goals were conceded in three games against the EPL’s best teams in Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City. Before losing 7-0 to Chelsea, Norwich City had played to two straight 0-0 draws. Norwich has only scored two goals in nine matches. Expect this one to be a boring, low-scoring game.
