EPL Matchweek 13 betting preview, top picks & predictions

The English Premier League is back after an international break, and Matchweek 13 will prove to be very important for many clubs. Manchester City hosting Liverpool is the obvious headline act, but there are a bunch of other entertaining games on tap. Here are our best EPL betting picks for Matchweek 13.

Manchester City v Liverpool

Saturday, November 25 – 12:30pm GMT – Etihad Stadium

While both of these teams possess the quality to lift the trophy at the end of the season, it is hard to look past Manchester City at home. They have been dominant at the Etihad, where they have a perfect 15 points from five EPL games this season. Also, Liverpool have struggled against City in recent matches, only winning two of their last 10 games against the reigning EPL champs. Get on City to win and extend their lead at the top of the table.

Nottingham Forest v Brighton & Hove Albion

Saturday, November 25 – 3pm GMT – City Ground

Brighton have had an interesting season that is defined by two contrasting runs of form. After a 5-1-0 start, they have only garnered four points from their last five games. This weekend, however, they have a great chance to bounce back. Nottingham Forest do not have the defensive prowess necessary to limit Brighton’s attack, which has scored an impressive 25 goals in 12 matches. At +125 with top EPL betting sites, Brighton away are the pick.

Newcastle United v Chelsea

Saturday, November 25 – 3pm GMT – St James’ Park

Chelsea struggled mightily early in the season, but they have worked their way up to 10th place and look primed to move up more. A big reason for the Blues’ recent success is their scoring output, as they have 16 goals in their last six matches. Newcastle have one of the league’s best defences, but Chelsea have hit a purple patch should be able to create chances. At +175 with Bovada, there is value in backing the Londoners to win a tough away game.

Brentford v Arsenal

Saturday, November 25 – 5:30pm GMT – GTech Community Stadium

Arsenal are putting together another great season, and it’s due to their ability to win away from home. They have three wins and one draw in away matches, and Brentford aren’t good enough to keep us off the Gunners. The Bees have often struggled to create chances this season, and they will take on an Arsenal team that has conceded a joint-best 10 goals in 12 games. Due to that, we will side with the Gunners as they keep grinding out solid results.

Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa

Sunday, November 26 – 3pm GMT – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

This could end up being the match of the weekend, but the hosts have the edge. Fourth-placed Tottenham have 12 points from a possible 15 at home this season, while fifth-placed Aston Villa have only two wins through six away matches. Spurs also possess a defence that will limit Aston Villa’s normally potent attack. At +130 with the best soccer bookmakers, Tottenham hold all the value.
