Parlay leg 1 – Crystal Palace vs Arsenal

Saturday, January 11 – 12:30pm GMT – Selhurst Park, London

Mikel Arteta will be hoping to get another win under the belt when Arsenal make the cross-city trip to Selhurst Park for a derby against Crystal Palace.

The Gunners have witnessed a change of fortune since the turn of the year, winning convincingly against Manchester United on New Year’s Day before squeezing past Leeds United in midweek to advance to the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Roy Hodgson, on the other hand, has only the Premier League to play for after his side was knocked out of the FA Cup by Championship outfit Derby County on Sunday.

Although Palace have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six games in all competition, while Arsenal have won just one of their last five EPL games, it’s quite possibly that both sides will test each other given the intense and passionate nature of domestic derbies.

Prediction: Both teams to score – -163.93 at Bovada

Parlay leg 2 – Chelsea vs Burnley

Saturday, January 11 – 3pm GMT – Stamford Bridge, London

Frank Lampard will be hoping to solidify his team’s place in the top four when the Blues play host to Sean Dyche’s Burnley this Saturday.

Although Chelsea are fourth on the table with 36 points, a comfortable five points ahead of Manchester United in fifth, the Blues have struggled for consistency in recent weeks and could be a lot closer to the top three.

However, without being too critical of Lampard, the scorching run of matches during the festive season could have attributed to their poor results against beatable sides such as Southampton and Brighton & Hove Albion.

That said, the Blues should light up the scoreboard against the Clarets, who are in the bottom half of the table with three successive defeats in the English Premier League.

Prediction: Total goals over 2.5 – -166.67 at Bovada

Parlay leg 3 – Manchester United vs Norwich City

Saturday, January 11 – 3pm GMT – Old Trafford, Manchester

Manchester United will hope to return to winning ways when they face relegation-bound Norwich City at home this Saturday.

The Red Devils have suffered two defeats on the bounce in the span of a week, losing 2-0 away to Arsenal before copping a 3-1 hiding on home soil against Manchester City in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final.

Adamant to silence the growing disaffection amongst the Old Trafford faithful, Ole Gunner Solskjaer and his charges will want to annihilate a Norwich side at the foot of the table and without a win in eight EPL games.

Prediction: Manchester United to win – -312.5 at Bovada

Parlay leg 4 – Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool

Saturday, January 11 – 5:30pm GMT – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London

Liverpool will be in London this Saturday for a match against Tottenham Hotspur that could define their title campaign.

The Reds sit top of the Premier League table on 58 points, an impressive 13 points ahead of second-placed Leicester City and a whopping 28 points ahead of Spurs in sixth.

Unbeaten in the EPL this season and with a game in hand, the newly crowned world champions could take a big step towards their maiden EPL title with a win against Jose Mourinho’s side.

Prediction: Liverpool to win – -138.89 at Bovada

Parlay leg 5 – Aston Villa vs Manchester City

Sunday, January 12 – 4:30pm GMT – Villa Park, Birmingham

Given they are 14 points away from the top of the table, it’s safe to say Manchester City have already abdicated their crown to probable champions Liverpool.

Nevertheless, with 10 wins from their last 11 games in all competitions, City look poised to secure maximum points against one of the league’s stragglers this weekend.

Aston Villa sit a point above safety after beating Burnley in their last league fixture, but Dean Smith’s men will struggle to keep up with the reigning champions.

Prediction: Manchester City to win both halves – +115 at Bovada
