EPL Arsenal vs. Tottenham best bet: Arsenal -1.5 (+115)
Arsenal haven’t seen defeat to the Spurs in their last six matchups, five of them ending in victory with one draw, as the Gunners edged Tottenham 2-1 in their last meeting in January of this year.
Arsenal dropped points two weekends ago with a 2-2 draw to a formidable Sunderland squad, but they remain in first place with 26 points and an 8-2-1 record. The Gunners have only allowed five goals so far this season, and with Bukayo Saka (+180 anytime goal tonight) on fire with three goals in his last four games (in all competitions), the Arsenal moneyline at -250 seems appropriate.
Tottenham enters this matchup at +700 on the moneyline, although this season, they have performed better on away turf than at home – as their last match on November 8 ended 2-2 to United at home. The Spurs still hold fifth place with 18 points and a 5-3-3 record, but after facing the wrath of Arsenal at Emirates Stadium, they’ll likely fall once again.
EPL Manchester United vs. Everton best bet: Manchester United ML (-140)
Manchester United snatched a late equalizer against Tottenham on November 8 in their last Premier League match, helping them attain seventh place in the league with 18 points and a 5-3-3 record. They have truly been all over the place this season, but in their last five games, the Red Devils have averaged two or more goals, with Bryan Mbeumo pulling away with five now after 11 games (+150 tonight). They come in as -140 favourites to win, and will likely do so against Everton’s inconsistencies.
Everton have had a rough season, but are still fighting for it as the Toffees have gone 2-1-2 in their last five games, with their most recent showing against Fulham at home on November 8 ending in a 2-0 victory. Illiman Ndiaye leads the team with four goals to his name (+300 tonight), as Everton enters the fray as +360 underdogs at Old Trafford today, and they would be lucky to even see a draw by the end of 90’ with this one.
EPL best player prop bet: Erling Haaland Anytime Goalscorer (-120) in Newcastle vs. Manchester City
The Norwegian striker concluded matchweek 11 of the EPL with the opener against Liverpool to tally his 14th goal of the season. He can’t stop scoring, even netting a brace in both his World Cup qualifier matches against Estonia on November 13 and Italy on November 16, helping his nation qualify for the 2026 World Cup with back-to-back wins.
City’s main man up front will inevitably score once again to keep his streak going, and he’s marked at -120 to hit the back of the net tonight against Newcastle.
