The Editors' Premier League Betting Battle 2019-20: Round 17 Dan extended his lead at the top last weekend with an 11/5 winner while Jake hauled himself up to third place. Here's where the editors' tenners are headed this for Round 17- According to the champions league predictions page! Rashford to continue hot streak Dan Thomas Back Marcus Rashford to score v Everton @ hai.18 Sunday, 14:00 Live on Sky Sports It's all looking more rosy in the Manchester United garden after an impressive run of wins - more of which from Joe below - and a lot of this is down lớn the form of Marcus Rashford. The England forward has already equalled his best ever Premier League goal tally in a single season (10) in just 16 games and has scored seven goals in eight league appearances at Old Trafford. Getting an odds-against price on him continuing that run against an Everton side - who were far more impressive last week under Duncan Ferguson but have struggled on the road all year - jumps out at me and is where my tenner is going. Dan Thomas 2019-20 P/L: +£86.20 Another United win looks value Joe Dyer Back Man Utd win/over 2.5 goals double @ hai.70 v Everton Sunday, 14:00 Live on Sky Sports For a team that has just beaten Manchester City and Tottenham, and scored four in the Europa League in midweek, I'm surprised that Manchester United are as big 1.85 to defeat Everton this weekend. Yes, the Toffees secured a stirring win last weekend under the temporary leadership of Duncan Ferguson, but should United - playing at home don't forget - be that long in the match soccer betting tips? Not for me! The hosts have nearly all key men fit barring long-term absentee Paul Pogba and have every reason lớn build on their current good form with fourth-placed Chelsea just five points off them in the table. A simple back of the home side is a pretty appealing bet on its own but (stupidly perhaps) I am going to include over 2.5 goals lớn boost the price to a chunky 2.70. Joe Dyer's 2019-20 P/L: +£29.90 City to thump Arsenal Jake Osgathorpe Back Manchester City -1 v Arsenal @ 6/5 Sunday, 16:30 Live on Sky Sports I'm not getting carried away with Arsenal getting a win against West yêu thích on Monday, as I really wasn't impressed with the Gunners against one of the worst teams in the league. Freddie Ljungberg has yet to show me that he can turn this sinking ship around, and he has had the fixtures lớn do that, playing Norwich, Brighton and West say mê, with all three performances poor, and games in which they continue to look vulnerable defensively, which doesn't bode well here. Manchester City were beaten by Manchester United last weekend, but while the eye test would tell you they were poor defensively, according to expected goals they were very unlucky to lose, racking up hai.57 xGF and allowing just 0.67 non-pen xGA. In fact, City have 'won the xG battle' in all 16 of their Premier League games, so are extremely unfortunate to be so far off the pace in the title race, and if they continue playing the way they are with the same process, wins will start to rack up for Pep's side. Last week, when Arsenal played Brighton, I said that Brighton's midfield is much better than Arsenal's - a key battle in the game - and that statement provides even more cause for concern for Arsenal fans as they go up against Manchester City's midfield, which I expect to dominate. I actually think City just to win here at 1.49 is a good bet for short odds players, but I can see this being a thumping, and I really like the look of City -1 at hai.14, heaping more misery on the Gunners.
