Liverpool's away games under Arne Slot are developing a very clear pattern and the market still isn't aligned to it.

For a side blessed with so much attacking quality, Liverpool are becoming remarkably conservative starters on the road. They've scored just four first-half goals across their last 18 away matches in all competitions, meaning Liverpool under 0.5 first-half goals has landed in 13 of those games - a hefty 72 per cent strike-rate.

Slot has prioritised control over chaos away from Anfield, slowing games down early, limiting transitions and keeping Liverpool compact rather than blowing teams away from the first whistle like we often saw under Jurgen Klopp.

Villa Park under the lights is one of the toughest starts in the league for any visiting side and Unai Emery's team are usually well drilled in the opening stages, especially against elite opposition where they're happy to stay compact and frustrate.

How to watch EVERY remaining PL game LIVE!

This has all the makings of another cagey first 45 minutes where Liverpool probe patiently rather than overwhelm, so the under 0.5 Liverpool first-half goals angle at 11/10 with Sky Bet is a great starting point.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-1

FA Cup final: Manchester City vs Chelsea, Saturday 3pm

Opposing goals in matches at Wembley remains a sustainable long-term betting strategy. It might be the mecca of English football - to play there is every footballer's dream - but I'm convinced the place saps the momentum out of a game. Across the last 54 domestic and European matches played at Wembley, the average goals per game is at 1.93 and 92 per cent of those games have landed for under 3.5 goal backers, which is a 1/2 shot with Sky Bet.

The way to get this bet to a backable level is to add Marc Guehi to be fouled at least once into the mix using the BuildABet function with Sky Bet at Evens. This Guehi bet is a developing trend, his fouls won are on the increase since signing for Man City as in the last six starts he's been fouled 11 times.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-0

It's Michael Carrick to Manchester United permanently then?

For a club desperately searching for stability, handing the keys to a former player with strong emotional ties to Old Trafford feels like a move driven by nostalgia over cold analysis.

When you dig into the numbers behind Carrick's interim spell, there are enough warning signs flashing to make any punter think twice before buying into the hype.

Results? Excellent. Process? Far less convincing.

Carrick has won 10 of his 15 Premier League games in charge this season, collecting 33 points from a possible 45. Only Manchester City have earned more points in that period and no side has won more matches.

The Super 6 crowd are again backing Man Utd at Old Trafford, with 87 per cent predicting a win against Forest

Those numbers scream progress. But dig deeper and it becomes much harder to argue Manchester United are building anything sustainable.

The most revealing metric is expected goals supremacy - the difference between xG created and xG conceded. Under Carrick, United are operating at just +0.1 xG per 90 minutes. That's virtually identical to Ruben Amorim's reign before him, suggesting very little has fundamentally changed in terms of overall performance level.

Across the last eight Premier League matches, only already-relegated Wolves and Burnley own a worse xG supremacy figure than Manchester United at -0.3 per 90. That's a massive red flag for a team supposedly moving in the right direction. I'm happy to take Forest on the double chance to avoid defeat at 5/4 with Sky Bet.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2

Brentford vs Crystal Palace, Sunday 3pm, live on Sky Sports - PLAY SUPER 6!

There aren't many players in the Premier League carrying the away threat that Ismaila Sarr is producing right now.

The Crystal Palace forward looks absolutely electric in transition and Brentford's aggressive style should play directly into his hands here.

Sarr has scored 20 goals across all competitions this season and his away numbers are particularly eye-catching. Sarr has netted nine goals in his last nine starts on the road, registering 17 shots on target across those matches.

At 11/4 with Sky Bet for Sarr to score, the numbers make plenty of appeal considering his recent form.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-2 | JONES KNOWS' BEST BET: Ismaila Sarr to score (11/4 with Sky Bet)

Everton vs Sunderland, Sunday 3pm, live on Sky Sports - PLAY SUPER 6!

There's enough evidence mounting to suggest the draw is being underestimated again here at 13/5 with Sky Bet.

Neither side arrives in convincing winning form and that usually creates value in a market many punters are reluctant to back. Everton are without a win in their last five Premier League games - their longest winless run of the season - while Sunderland have failed to win any of their last four, drawing their last two.

The draw itself continues to be one of the most underrated betting angles in the Premier League. Across the last 70 top-flight matches, the stalemate has clicked at a healthy 33 per cent strike-rate, yet prices often continue to drift beyond value territory because bettors naturally gravitate towards picking winners.

A low-margin affair looks on the cards.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1 | JONES KNOWS' BEST BET: Back the draw (13/5 with Sky Bet)

Leeds vs Brighton, Sunday 3pm, live on Sky Sports - PLAY SUPER 6!

James Justin's new role at left wing-back is throwing up one of the more interesting player prop angles in the Premier League right now.

The market still seems to be pricing him like a conventional defender when, in reality, his positioning and shot volume are much closer to an attacking wing-back encouraged to drive inside and pull the trigger whenever possible.

Across his last five starts in that role, he's averaging 2.44 shots per game - a huge number for a player still largely viewed through a defensive lens by bookmakers. At 9/4 with Sky Bet for two or more shots, the numbers suggest we're still ahead of the market adjustment on his role.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2 | JONES KNOWS' BEST BET: James Justin two or more shots (9/4 with Sky Bet)

Wolves vs Fulham, Sunday 3pm, live on Sky Sports - PLAY SUPER 6!

This feels like one of those classic end-of-season fixtures where motivation and mentality matter just as much as form figures.

On paper, Fulham should probably be shorter than 17/20 with Sky Bet against a Wolves side that are stumbling towards the finish line after a miserable campaign. But backing Marco Silva's team at odds-on away from home at this stage of the season has become a dangerous game.

Fulham's April and May record under Silva raises some serious concerns. They've lost 13 of their last 22 Premier League matches played across those months, developing a frustrating habit of fading badly once the campaign drifts towards its conclusion.

There's more than a hint of "on the beach" syndrome about them.

And there are still reasons to think Wolves can summon one final response at Molineux.

Home advantage remains significant for them and this looks the type of scrappy, emotional contest where three points could be grabbed versus opponents who may already have one eye on summer holidays.

At 14/5 with Sky Bet, Wolves look overpriced

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-0

The final weeks of a campaign are one of my favourite periods for targeting second-half goals, specifically backing there to be more goals scored after the break than before it. You can get Evens on the second half producing more goals than the first with Sky Bet.

It's one of those angles that doesn't always look sexy on paper but the psychology of football at this stage of the season creates the perfect storm for late chaos where tactical discipline disappears when games become stretched.

That motivation imbalance tends to grow stronger as matches wear on. The team needing points keeps pushing while the other mentally checks out once the intensity rises. That's on the cards here.

West Ham are a second-half team too, scoring 13 goals after the break in their last 14 games. In eight of those matches there have been more second half goals than the first. A late salvo to heap pressure on Spurs is the way to play this.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2

Arsenal are now within touching distance. Mikel Arteta's side know the equation. Beat already-relegated Burnley at the Emirates before a final-day trip to a Crystal Palace side likely to have one eye firmly fixed on their cup final. It's opened up beautifully.

This Burnley clash looks about as close to a mismatch as the Premier League can offer. The Clarets have won just one of their last 27 league games. The market has Burnley at 18/1 - a price that would make an away victory the biggest shock result in Premier League history based on pre-match odds.

I'd expect Arsenal to start aggressively, pin Burnley deep early and simply overwhelm them through territory and pressure.

Everything points towards a routine home win and potentially a very one-sided evening.

SCORE PREDICTION: 4-0

Tottenham favourites to secure Premier League survival but do West Ham have better fixtures in relegation shoot-out? - Sky Sports
Description

West Ham and Tottenham remain locked in a battle against relegation ahead of the final two rounds of Premier League fixtures. Which side will survive?

The London rivals are separated by two points in 18th and 17th respectively after Spurs could only draw with Leeds on Monday following West Ham's defeat against Arsenal on Sunday.

With Nottingham Forest and Leeds having secured their survival, one of West Ham or Spurs is guaranteed to join relegated Wolves and Burnley in the Championship next season.

Their next games could be pivotal, with West Ham away to Newcastle, live on Sky Sports on Sunday, before Spurs make the short trip to Chelsea, live on Sky Sports on Tuesday.

Live Premier League table | Premier League fixtures

Opta make Spurs strong favourites

According to Opta's predicted table, which factors hundreds of thousands of data points and is based on 10,000 simulations, Spurs are strong favourites to survive at the expense of the Hammers.

Opta give Spurs a relegation chance of only 19.54 per cent ahead of the next games, compared to West Ham's 80.46 per cent chance.

The chart below shows how those chances have changed over the course of the campaign. At the start of the season, Spurs and West Ham were given 13.44 per cent and 21.73 per cent chances of relegation respectively.

West Ham's relegation probability climbed as high as 89.64 per cent in January, following a nine-game winless run. At that point, Spurs were 13 points ahead of the Hammers in the Premier League table, with a relegation chance of only 0.22 per cent.

Spurs, though, were in the early stages of a 15-game winless run at the time which caused their relegation probability to start steadily rising in the month of February.

It climbed above West Ham's for the first time in April but a major swing occurred earlier this month, when Spurs' form began to pick up under Roberto De Zerbi and West Ham suffered their back-to-back defeats against Brentford and Arsenal.

Opta now give Spurs an 'expected' final points total of 40, putting them just clear of West Ham's expected total of 39, and essentially predicting Spurs will survive by drawing both of their games, with the Hammers predicted to win one and lose one.

But don't Spurs have tougher games?

Both teams are preparing for difficult away trips next.

But history suggests St James' Park is a far happier hunting ground for West Ham than Stamford Bridge is for Spurs.

The Hammers, 3-1 winners against Newcastle at the London Stadium in November, have won two of their last four games at St James' Park, including last term's 2-0 victory. It is more than Spurs have managed at Stamford Bridge in the entire Premier League era.

Incredibly, Spurs' 3-1 win in April 2018 remains their only Premier League victory at Stamford Bridge in 33 attempts. Their three per cent win rate at Stamford Bridge is their lowest at any ground since the start of the Premier League era.

"I do think Tottenham have got the more difficult game," said Jamie Carragher on Monday Night Football. "Newcastle away won't be easy. But Chelsea away? We know the rivalry. Chelsea will be absolutely desperate to send Tottenham down."

Spurs can, however, take encouragement from Chelsea's dismal form. They ended a six-game losing streak by fighting back to draw 1-1 with Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday under interim boss Calum McFarlane but you have to go back to early March for their last win.

Newcastle, meanwhile, were on a similarly poor run before claiming a 3-1 win against Brighton then drawing 1-1 with Nottingham Forest. But Eddie Howe's side have nothing left to play for bar pride this season, whereas Chelsea need points to secure a European finish.

One positive for Spurs is that while they get an extended rest before the Chelsea game, the Blues have to juggle a potentially draining FA Cup final appearance against Manchester City four days earlier.

Spurs will aim to capitalise on any potential Chelsea fatigue, especially given they have what looks like a tougher final fixture than West Ham too. De Zerbi's side host 10th-placed Everton, who, like Chelsea, might still be fighting for a European place, while the Hammers come up against Leeds.

Daniel Farke's side are of course safe from the drop, although that didn't cause them to ease up against Spurs on Monday. "Leeds played a good game," De Zerbi told Sky Sports. "We hope they play like this against West Ham because it is right like this."

For Spurs, with the Everton game in mind, there is also the worry of their poor home form. Spurs haven't won at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 10 games, dating back to a 2-0 victory over Brentford in December. It's their longest winless home run since 1994.

Will the De Zerbi effect win out?

Spurs' failure to beat Leeds has left them with work to do but they have a two-point cushion on West Ham and superior goal difference too. There is also a sense, despite Monday's draw, that their performances are picking up as the Hammers lose momentum.

While West Ham have suffered back-to-back losses for the first time since January, Spurs are on their longest unbeaten run since October having not lost any of their last four games under De Zerbi.

The Italian's appointment has made a difference. "What De Zerbi has done is given them belief, because everybody knows he's a top coach," added Carragher. "He's what fans have been screaming out for. They want a plan, not just with the ball, without the ball."

De Zerbi has certainly provided that. Spurs continue to misfire in attack but defensively they are transformed. They have only conceded five goals in five games so far and a closer look at the numbers highlights the extent of their improvement.

Having ranked among the Premier League's worst sides defensively prior to De Zerbi's appointment, Spurs now rank as one of the best. They are in fact allowing fewer expected goals against and fewer shots on target than any other side since De Zerbi's arrival.

Could that solidity, and the strong performances of Antonin Kinsky in goal, give Spurs the edge for what lies ahead? Their two-point cushion and superior goal difference means two draws from their remaining games would likely be enough to keep them up. The odds are in their favour. But there could be more twists to come.
