The Premier League continues alongside the FA Cup this weekend with five important games on Saturday that will affect the top and bottom of the table.

The early kick-off sees Fulham entertain an Aston Villa side aiming to finish in the Champions League places, while Liverpool have the same ambitions as they welcome Crystal Palace in the afternoon.

Tottenham Hotspur will be desperate for a win at Wolverhampton Wanderers in their relegation battle, while West Ham Utd will be aiming for the same at home to Everton.

Finally, title-chasing Arsenal host Newcastle in the evening kick-off, knowing they could displace Manchester City at the league summit.

Saturday's Premier League tips and expert betting predictions

Fulham vs Aston Villa (12:30)

Tipster: GregMacLean

Aston Villa will look to climb up into third position in the Premier League table as they travel to Craven Cottage to take on mid-table Fulham in the lunchtime kick-off on Saturday.

Click here to read our full match preview

Tip 1: Ollie Watkins to Score or Assist

Ollie Watkins is a man in red-hot form at the moment, as he has scored seven goals and provided two assists across his previous eight matches in all competitions, including a brace and an assist against Sunderland last weekend.

The England international has also scored in four of his previous five appearances against Fulham – including in the reverse fixture at Villa Park and on his previous two visits to Craven Cottage – and is an appealing 1/1 at bet365 to Score or Assist on Saturday.

Tip 2: Over 2.5 Goals

Aston Villa come into this clash off the back of edging a seven-goal thriller, and goals look likely as they travel to West London on Saturday.

Goals have been a feature of Fulham’s matches at the Cottage this season, with their opening 16 Premier League clashes averaging 2.88 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals landing in 10 (63%) of them, including in six of their past seven and eight of their previous 10.

What’s more, Over 2.5 Goals has landed in eight of the previous 10 meetings between these two sides – including in the last five at Craven Cottage – and a repeat pays 3/4 at William Hill.

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace (15:00)

Tipster: Kevin Mac

Liverpool probably need just a couple more wins to nail down a top-five finish in the Premier League and will be confident of banking three points when Crystal Palace come to Anfield.

Tip 1: Liverpool -1 handicap

It's only natural for Crystal Palace to look ahead to such a big European game so I'd imagine Liverpool should win this one quite comfortably.

Backing Slot's side at -1 in the handicap pays a decent 5/4 with 888Sport while Liverpool HT-FT pays 6/5 at William Hill.

Tip 2: Alexander Isak over 1.5 efforts on target

Liverpool star Isak will be desperate to get back among the goals and should have a few cracks at goal. That make backing him for over 1.5 efforts on target another decent option at 29/10 with Ladbrokes.

Tip 3: Under 9.5 corners

None of the three previous meetings this season has hit double figures for corners so it could pay to back under 9.5 flag kicks here at 6/5 with BOYLESports.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Tottenham Hotspur (15:00)

Tipster: GregMacLean

Spurs will look to give their survival hopes a real boost on Saturday afternoon as they travel to Molineux to take on rock-bottom Wolves.

Click here to read our full match preview

Tip 1: Both Teams to Score

Backing goals seems the sensible play, with Both Teams to Score landing in 11 of Tottenham’s last 14 Premier League outings.

Tip 2: Over 2.5 Goals

Wolves have scored seven goals across their last four at home, with Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals also landing in three of them.

Tip 3: Xavi Simons to Score or Assist

Xavi Simons put in a ‘Man of the Match’ performance against Brighton last time out, as he was involved in both of their goals in their agonising 2-2 draw with the Seagulls.

The Dutch international has now scored three times and provided six assists since his summer move from RB Leipzig, and is an appealing 11/10 to Score or Assist on Saturday.

West Ham Utd vs Everton (15:00)

Tipster: TheBettingDesk

West Ham United vs Everton takes place in the Premier League on Saturday at the London Stadium, with both sides positioned in the middle of the table and still looking to finish the season with momentum.

Click here to read our full match preview

Tip 1: West Ham to win

West Ham win is the best bet. Their last four home games show 2.01 xG and just 0.97 xGA, alongside 8.5 shots in the box and only 7.5 conceded. Their xPTS return of 7.64 highlights control that has not fully converted into results. Everton’s away profile is weaker, with 1.14 xG and 1.28 xGA, alongside 6.6 shots in the box and 15.44 shots conceded overall. Across the last eight, Everton sit at 1.33 xG and 1.17 xGA but without strong attacking consistency. The gap in chance quality, shots in the box, and expected points supports the home side controlling the game and creating better opportunities.

Tip 2: Under 2.5 goals

The head-to-head record between West Ham and Everton is tight across the last 20 meetings. West Ham have eight wins, Everton have seven, with five draws.

The goal difference stands at 21-23, averaging 2.20 goals per game, with both sides contributing at a similar level, 1.05 goals for West Ham and 1.15 for Everton.

Recent meetings highlight a low scoring trend. The last four Premier League clashes have finished 1-1, 1-1, 0-0, and 1-3. Three of those four games have seen under 2.5 goals, and two have ended level.

The most recent meeting in September finished 1-1, continuing that pattern of close contests.

Looking slightly further back, there is still little separation. Across the last 10 league meetings, both sides have five wins each, with no dominant run. Scorelines remain tight, with seven of those 10 games producing two goals or fewer.

Clean sheets have also played a role. Both teams have recorded multiple shutouts in this fixture, and neither side has consistently scored more than once per game across the sample.

Arsenal vs Newcastle (17:30)

Tipster: SlipsTips

Arsenal will be desperate to stop the rot when they welcome Newcastle to the Emirates in the Premier League on Saturday evening.

Click here to read our full match preview

Tip 1: Eberechi Eze 1+ Shot on Target

Eberechi Eze is a player who likes to try his luck in front of goal at any given opportunity. The Arsenal ace looks good value to hit the target at least once during this contest at 4/5 on bet365.

Tip 2: Lewis Hall To Be Fouled 2+ Times

Lewis Hall has been fouled twice or more in seven of his last nine Premier League outings, making a repeat here an attractive option at 5/6 on bet365.

Tip 3: Over 3.5 Newcastle Corners

Given their impressive corner returns this season, Newcastle look overpriced to register at least four flag kicks at the Emirates on Saturday evening.

Eddie Howe’s side have averaged a league-high 6.33 corners per game in the Premier League this term.

With that in mind, the visitors hold plenty of appeal to force over 3.5 corners at the Emirates on Saturday evening at 11/10 with bet365.

Tottenham host Atletico Madrid at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday night in the Champions League round of 16 second leg with the Spanish side holding a commanding lead after the 5-2 victory in the first meeting.

The opening match in Madrid produced an entertaining contest with both teams finding the net. Atletico finished the game with 11 shots and seven on target while Tottenham also produced 11 attempts with five on target. The match delivered seven goals and underlined the attacking quality both sides bring into this tie.

Atletico controlled the rhythm of the game with 58% possession and completed 417 accurate passes while Tottenham finished with 296. The Spanish side also spent more time in advanced areas with 24 touches inside the opposition box compared with 17 from Spurs.

Tottenham still produced threatening moments despite spending longer without the ball. The London side covered 116.2 km during the match and produced 12 interceptions as they worked to disrupt Atletico’s attacking play.

Spurs arrive for the second leg after a positive domestic result. They secured a 1-1 draw away at Liverpool which helped move them further clear of the bottom three. The performance showed resilience but pressure remains on manager Igor Tudor as the club looks to stabilise results.

Despite the first leg defeat, Tottenham bring a strong European home record into the match. Spurs are unbeaten in their last 24 UEFA home games with 20 wins and four draws. They have also won all four home matches in this season’s competition without conceding.

Atletico arrive with attacking momentum. They have opened the scoring in seven of their last eight Champions League matches and Julian Alvarez has scored 13 goals in his last 16 appearances in the competition.

How the bookies view it: Bookies split on victors

Tottenham are priced at 8/5 in the match winner market, which equates to a 38.46% implied probability of a home victory. Atletico Madrid are also priced at 8/5, representing the same 38.46% implied probability of an away win. The draw is available at 29/10, which implies a 25.64% probability.

The goals markets suggest expectations of a relatively open contest in London. Over 2.5 goals is priced at 8/11, which converts to a 57.89% implied probability of at least three goals in the match.

Both teams to score is available at 4/6, representing a 60.00% implied probability of goals at both ends.

Head to Head: Visitors hold the edge

The two sides have met twice in previous meetings with Atletico Madrid winning both matches. Across those games the Spanish side have scored six goals while conceding two, producing an average of four total goals per match.

The most recent meeting came on 10 March 2026 in the Champions League round of 16 first leg where Atletico secured a 5-2 victory in Spain. The match produced seven goals and showed the attacking threat both teams carried in the tie.

The other meeting came in an international club friendly in July 2016 where Atletico recorded a 1-0 win against the London side.

Players to watch: Solanke to hit the target as Spurs chase the game

Dominic Solanke has made a strong impact in limited minutes for Tottenham in this Champions League campaign and the numbers support interest in him registering 1+ shot on target.

The forward has featured in three matches and played 132 minutes, scoring three goals across those appearances. He has produced six shots with four on target which shows high efficiency in front of goal.

His performances include one goal against Borussia Dortmund, one against Eintracht Frankfurt and another in the first leg against Atletico Madrid. In that match he recorded two shots with both on target despite playing only 45 minutes.

Across his three appearances he has recorded at least one shot on target in every match. That consistency, combined with his goal return, highlights his ability to test the goalkeeper when given opportunities.

With Tottenham expected to push forward in the second leg, his role in attacking areas should again provide chances to shoot. Those numbers support Dominic Solanke to record 1+ shot on target.

Predicted line-ups

Tottenham Hotspur (3-4-3): Kinsky; Danso, Dragusin, Van de Ven; Porro, Gray, Sarr, Spence; Kolo Muani, Solanke, Tel.

Atletico Madrid (4-4-2): Musso; Pubill, Le Normand, Hancko, Ruggeri; Simeone, Llorente, Cardoso, Lookman; Griezmann, Alvarez.

Anything else catch the eye?

The statistical profile of the first leg between these two sides points towards another match featuring goals at both ends which supports the angle of both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.

The opening match in Madrid produced a high volume of quality chances. Atletico generated 2.59 xG while Tottenham produced 1.99 xG which created a combined 4.58 expected goals across the contest.

Both teams consistently created opportunities in dangerous areas. Each side produced five big chances during the match which highlights how regularly the attacks reached clear scoring positions.

Chance creation largely came from open play. Atletico generated 2.33 xG from open play while Tottenham produced 1.68 from the same situations. Those figures underline how frequently both teams were able to progress the ball into scoring areas.

Shot location also reflects the attacking nature of the tie. Both teams produced nine shots inside the penalty area which shows how often defensive lines were broken during the game.

Even with Atletico controlling possession, Tottenham still created opportunities. The London side produced the same number of total shots as Atletico and regularly threatened the goal despite having only 42% of the ball.

The game state heading into the second leg also encourages attacking play. Tottenham must chase the deficit after the 5-2 defeat which should force them to commit players forward.

With both teams already producing multiple big chances and a high combined xG total in the first meeting, the numbers support another open contest featuring both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals.

Barcelona To Score 2+ (Wednesday, 17:45)

Both aiming to reach the Champions League quarter-finals, Barcelona and Newcastle will meet for the second leg of their last-16 tie on Wednesday evening.

It was honours even at St James’ Park last week as the two sides played out a 1‑1 draw.

Back at their Camp Nou base for this week’s second leg, Barcelona will be quietly confident about their chances of progressing.

Hansi Flick’s side have won all 14 of their La Liga home games this season, scoring two or more goals in each victory, and they may need a couple of strikes to see off the Magpies.

Southampton vs Norwich – Both Teams to Score (Wednesday, 19:45)

Southampton will look to maintain their push for a play-off spot in the English Championship when they host Norwich on Wednesday night.

The Saints ended the weekend in 7th place after a 2‑1 victory away at league leaders Coventry on Saturday.

As for Norwich, they continued their strong form under Philippe Clement with a 2‑0 win over Preston at the weekend.

Both teams have scored in 27 of Southampton’s 37 league matches this season, and with both sides in good form, goals at both ends look likely at St Mary’s.

Liverpool To Score 2+ (Wednesday, 20:00)

Aiming to overturn a one-goal deficit, Liverpool will welcome Galatasaray to Anfield for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday night.

Arne Slot’s side suffered a 1‑0 defeat in Turkey last week for the second time this season, having also lost by the same scoreline to the Lions during the league phase of the competition.

However, the Reds will fancy their chances of turning the tie around, given Galatasaray’s struggles on the road in this season’s Champions League.

In fact, the Turkish giants have conceded multiple goals in four of their five continental away games so far, and they look set to suffer the same fate on Merseyside.

Tottenham vs Athletic Madrid – Over 2.5 Goals (Wednesday, 20:00)

Tottenham face a monumental task to keep their Champions League campaign alive when they host Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their round-of-16 tie on Wednesday night.

Igor Tudor’s side were ripped apart in the Spanish capital last week when suffering a heavy 5‑2 defeat.

Spurs, however, did lift spirits in their Premier League survival battle with a 1‑1 draw at Liverpool on Sunday.

Over 2.5 goals has landed in 15 of the pair’s 20 combined Champions League matches this season, and another end-to-end encounter is expected in the English capital.

Liverpool will look to boost their hopes of Champions League qualification as they welcome crisis-club Tottenham Hotspur to Anfield on Super Sunday.

Liverpool saw their three-match winning run in the Premier League come to an end last time out, as they suffered a dramatic 2-1 defeat away at rock-bottom Wolves.

Arne Slot’s men did get revenge three days later against the Old Gold by winning 1-3 in the fifth round of the FA Cup – on an evening I landed a 1/1 winner – but they come into this clash after suffering a 1-0 defeat in Istanbul on Tuesday night against Galatasaray in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

Another side who suffered defeat in the Champions League on Tuesday night were Spurs, as they were thrashed 5-2 in the Spanish capital by Atletico Madrid.

In the Premier League, Igor Tudor’s men are in the midst of an 11-game winless run (W0-D4-L7) – losing each of their previous five – which leaves them in 16th position, just a point outside of the relegation zone.

How the bookies view it: Liverpool clear favourites

Liverpool are clear favourites to return to winning ways on Sunday, with bet365 pricing a home success at just 3/10.

Tottenham are 15/2 underdogs to put an end to their 11-match winless run in the Premier League, whilst the draw is also unfancied at 5/1.

Head to head: Reds dominance

Liverpool have lost just one of their previous 16 Premier League encounters with Tottenham (W12-D3-L1), winning each of their last four.

Spurs also have a notoriously bad record at Anfield, winning on just one of their last 31 Premier League visits (W1-D9-L21) to that side of Merseyside.

Players to watch: Hugo knows where the goal is

Hugo Ekitike was the hero when these two sides met in the reverse fixture in North London, with his goal proving to be the winner in Liverpool’s 1-2 success.

The French attacker has also scored 10 goals across his previous 19 appearances for the Reds – including braces in recent home successes over Newcastle United and West Ham United – and is an appealing 4/5 at bet365 to Score on Sunday.

Predicted line-ups:

Liverpool will still be missing Giovanni Leoni, Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo and Alexander Isak through injury, whilst goalkeeper Alisson and Federico Chiesa are doubts.

Spurs will be without Destiny Udogie, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Ben Davies, Lucas Bergvall, Rodrigo Bentancur, Wilson Odobert and Mohammed Kudus, Cristian Romero and Joao Palhinha through injury, as well as Micky Van de Ven who is suspended, while Conor Gallagher is a doubt.

Liverpool: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Wirtz, Salah, Ekitike

Tottenham Hotspur: Vicario, Gray, Danso, Dragusin, Porro, Sarr, Gallagher, Spence, Tel, Kolo Muani, Richarlison

Anything else catch the eye?

Both teams have deficits to overturn in the Champions League in midweek, but given their need for points in the Premier League for very different reasons, both will have full focus on this clash.

Tudor has lost each of his opening four contests since taking charge at Spurs, and given their abysmal record at this venue, it’s hard to see that run changing on Sunday.

Goals have been a feature of this fixture in recent years, with Both Teams to Score landing in 16 of the last 17 Premier League meetings between the pair, whilst 15 have also gone Over 2.5 Goals.

Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals pays an appealing 20/21 at bet365, whilst a Liverpool Win & Both Teams to Score pays a juicier 6/4 with the same firm (place on bet builder to get the early payout option).

Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur Betting Tips & Predictions

Further Reading

Tottenham's season keeps going from bad to worse and it could get ugly for interim boss Igor Tudor when they take on Liverpool at Anfield today.

Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Atletico Madrid saw Tudor's reign hit a new low when he subbed keeper Antonin Kinsky after just 17 minutes with the score at 3-0.

Liverpool also suffered a Champions League loss to Galatasaray in midweek but they still look in much better shape than rudderless Spurs and could pile on the pain.

Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur top betting tips

Tudor seems to have lost the dressing room just a handful of games into his spell at Tottenham Hotspur and another heavy defeat could bring the axe down on him.

Bet365 make Liverpool 3/10 hot favourites but if you back them to be winning at half-time and full-time it boosts the odds to 5/6. I'm adding over 2.5 goals to that in a bet builder that pays 5/4.

Arne Slot's forwards have been misfiring this season but they did score five against West Ham in their last home Premier League game.

Alexis Mac Allister was one of the five scorers that day and I like the 11/8 on offer at Bet365 for him to grab a goal or an assist against Spurs.

Manchester United vs Aston Villa

There's a huge game in the battle for a top-four Premier League finish as Manchester United lock horns with Aston Villa at Old Trafford today.

These sides are level on points but Red Devils have all the momentum while Unai Emery's side are dropping down the table.

Aston Villa also had a tough Europa League game in Lille on Thursday night so it's no surprise to see them as 7/2 outsiders today.

Michael Carrick's side are just 7/10 for the win but adding on over 1.5 goals boosts the odds to 10/11.

Bryan Mbeumo has gone four games without a goal so the Cameroonian could be due a return to scoring form. He's 5/4 at Bet365 to get on the scoresheet and 7/4 for over 1.5 efforts on target.

St Mirren vs Rangers

Rangers are coming off the back of two disappointing derby results and need a win at St Mirren tonight to boost their SPFL title hopes.

Danny Rohl's side went into an Ibrox double-header with Celtic in high spirits as they looked to take a big step towards a domestic double.

But they threw away a 2-0 lead to draw the Premiership clash then suffered a shootout defeat after a Scottish Cup stalemate.

Following that up with a trip to Paisley isn't ideal, especially with Rangers winning just one of their last five matches against the Buddies.

But this is a good time to face St Mirren as they lost their manager Stephen Robinson to Aberdeen in midweek.

That should give Rohl's men the edge and combining a Rangers win with over 2.5 goals pays 20/23 at Bet365.

This one could be pretty tasty and the 21/10 on offer for St Mirren at -1 in the card handicap could offer a bit of value as they're fighting against the drop.

Igor Tudor is in at the deep end as Tottenham Hotspur boss today as he leads them into a North London derby with Premier League leaders Arsenal.

The Croatian has issued a personal guarantee that Spurs will avoid the drop but another defeat would leave them hovering dangerously close to the bottom three.

Tottenham have home advantage but are up against a Gunners side desperate for the points as they chase a first title since the Invincibles season in 2003-04.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal top betting tips

Spurs fans haven't had much to cheer in this fixture, with Arsenal unbeaten in the last seven derbies. Six of those games have ended in wins so it's easy to see why the leaders are 4/7 favourites with most firms.

But Mikel Arteta's side aren't in great form themselves and we saw Manchester United raise their game to beat City in a derby when Michael Carrick took charge for the first time.

So I'm steering clear of win markets and going for player bets instead. The midfield battle will be key to deciding who comes out on top and combining fouls for Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi and Conor Gallagher pays 174/100 at Coral.

Putting together a multi-leg tip? Head into our Masterclass on Acca bets and find out how to build smarter doubles and trebles.

Xavi Simons is the main creative spark for Tudor in midfield and I like the 33/20 on offer at BetMGM for the Dutchman to have an effort on target.

Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool

Vitor Pereira got off to a flying start as Nottingham Forest boss in midweek but now faces a daunting challenge for his first Premier League game as Liverpool come calling.

The former Wolves boss steered his side to an impressive 3-0 win over Fenerbahce in the Europa League on Thursday night.

A trip to Istanbul isn't the best way to prepare for a game with the Premier League champions, however, and Forest are 13/4 outsiders today.

It's always hard for teams playing on a Sunday after Thursday night games in Europe so I fancy Liverpool to win at 7/8 with Betway. You can boost their odds to 21/20 at Bet365 by adding on over 1.5 goals.

Mo Salah was back to his best in Liverpool's FA Cup win over Brighton last week, chipping in with a goal and an assist. The Egyptian is 21/20 with BetMGM to score or set one up today and that looks decent.

Celtic vs Hibernian

Celtic are heading into a run of games that will decide their season and need to get three more precious Premiership points on the board when Hibernian come to Parkhead today.

The Hoops are reeling from Thursday's dismal 4-1 loss to Stuttgart in the Europa League and have a huge double-header with rivals Rangers looming in the league and Scottish Cup.

Martin O'Neill's side have kept just one clean sheet in their last eight games and keeper Kasper Schmeichel is coming under fire after a string of mistakes.

That will give Hibs hope and combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals pays 21/20 at Coral. Jamie McGrath is usually a goal threat for David Gray's side and he's 33/20 at BetMGM for a shot on target.

O'Neill should freshen things up after the Stuttgart debacle and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could get his first start. The former Liverpool and Arsenal midfielder is 20/21 at Bet365 for a goal or assist.

Manchester City will look to keep the pressure on league leaders Arsenal on Super Sunday as they travel to North London to take on inconsistent Tottenham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Manchester City put a halt to their four-game winless run in the Premier League last weekend, defeating rock-botttom Wolves 2-0 at the Etihad, on an afternoon I landed a 7/5 winner.

That result moves the Cityzens back within four points of Premier League leaders Arsenal following the Gunners’ 2-3 loss at home to Manchester City’s rivals, Manchester United.

Pep Guardiola’s men also squeezed into the top eight in the league phase and advanced to the last-16 of the Champions League in midweek, as they recorded a 2-0 victory over reigning Turkish champions Galatasaray.

Another side that finished inside the top eight of the league phase table and advanced to the last-16 of the Champions League are Tottenham, as they also won by a 0-2 scoreline in midweek, defeating managerless Eintracht Frankfurt in their own backyard.

However, Spurs come into this fixture having won just two of their previous 14 Premier League encounters (W2-D5-L7), and they required a stoppage-time equaliser at Turf Moor last weekend to draw 2-2 at relegation-threatened Burnley.

That result leaves Thomas Frank’s men in a lowly 14th position in the Premier League table, eight points clear of the relegation zone.

How the bookies view it: City favourites

Manchester City are favourites to make it three wins in the space of eight days, with bet365 pricing an away success at 8/11.

Spurs are 10/3 to claim just their third win across their past 15 Premier League outings, whilst the draw is 3/1.

Head to head: Spurs City’s bogey team

Tottenham have become a bit of a bogey team for Pep Guardiola, with the North London club winning three of the last four (W3-D1-L0) and six of the past 11 (W6-D1-L4) meetings between the two sides, including a 0-2 victory in the reverse fixture at the Etihad back in August.

Players to watch: Semenyo to star again against Spurs?

Antoine Semenyo has made an immediate impact since joining Manchester City in this window, with the ex-Bournemouth man scoring three goals and providing one assist across his opening four appearances for the Cityzens, including the second against Wolves last weekend.

The Ghanaian attacker also scored a dramatic late winner against Spurs on his final appearance for Bournemouth just over three weeks ago, and the 10/11 on offer at bet365 for him to Score or Assist appeals to me here.

Predicted line-ups:

Spurs will be without Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Ben Davies, Pedro Porro, Lucas Bergvall Rodrigo Bentancur, Richarlison and Mohammed Kudus through injury, but Radu Dragusin, Yves Bissouma, Mathys Tel and new signing Connor Gallagher are available after missing midweek.

Manchester City will be without the injured Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, John Stones, Mateo Kovacic, Jeremy Doku and Savinho, but Marc Guehi, Antoine Semenyo and Rodri return after being unavailable in the Champions League in midweek.

Tottenham Hotspur: Kinsky, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence, Gray, Palhinha, Tel, Simons, Odobert, Richarlison

Manchester City: Donnarumma, Nunes, Khusanov, Guehi, O’Reilly, Rodri, Silva, Reijnders, Foden, Semenyo, Haaland

Anything else catch the eye?

As mentioned above, Spurs have been a bit of a bogey side for Pep Guardiola – and despite their impressive form in the Champions League – it’s hard to envisage them completing the double over their visitors.

Thomas Frank’s men have a shocking record at home in the Premier League, with the Lilywhites winning just one and losing six of their past 10 league fixtures at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (W1-D3-L6).

Manchester City haven’t exactly been at their fluent best over the past few weeks, but I’m backing them at 8/11 at bet365 to get three points and keep the pressure on Arsenal at the top.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City Betting Tips & Predictions

Further Reading

Tottenham Hotspur's Champions League form stands in stark contrast to their Premier League struggles and they can book a place in the last 16 with a win away to Eintracht Frankfurt.

Thomas Frank looked like a dead man walking heading into their last European outing and I fancied Dortmund to put him out of his misery.

But Spurs claimed a morale-boosting 2-0 win, albeit helped by a harsh Dortmund red card in the first half, and that secured a place in the knockout stages.

Another victory away to Eintracht will keep them in the top eight and earn direct passage to the last 16, with the German side having nothing to play for after banking just four points so far.

But the heat is back on Frank again after Tottenham scrambled a 2-2 draw at struggling Burnley on Saturday.

They are now just eight points above the Premier League drop zone, with a tough run of fixtures coming up, so even if they manage to see off Frankfurt, a new manager may be in charge when Spurs resume their European campaign.

The good news for Frank is that Eintracht are in even worse form than Tottenham, having won just once in their last 11 outings in all competitions.

How the bookies view it: Eintracht too big at 3/1

With Frankfurt having nothing to play for, they're as big as 3/1 with BetMGM, which looks a bit generous based on Tottenham's recent displays. Spurs are odds-on favourites at 9/10 with most firms while the draw pays 14/5 at Bet365.

Head to head: Happy memories for Spurs

These sides have faced off four times in the last four years and Spurs have held the upper hand, with two wins and two draws. Tottenham will be hoping for a repeat of their last visit to Frankfurt, when a 1-0 win sent them into the semi-finals on their march to Europa League glory last term.

Players to watch: Simons worth a shot

Xavi Simons is the only creative spark in Tottenham's midfield right now and came close to a goal at the weekend with a shot that crashed off the bar. He's 3/1 at Betway for anytime scorer but I'm more drawn to the 21/20 on offer at Coral for the Dutchman to have an effort on target.

Japanese forward Ritsu Doan has chipped in with seven goals for Frankfurt this season and will fancy his chances against a Spurs defence that was poor against Burnley. He's 29/20 at Coral for an effort on target and that could also be worth a punt.

Probable line-ups

Tottenham have Micky van de Ven available again after serving a suspension against Dortmund but Conor Gallagher, Yves Bissouma and Mathys Tel are ineligible while a host of key players remain injured. Frank only has two fit midfielders so a defender may have to play out of position.

Frankfurt also have a lengthy injury list with Timothy Chandler, Michy Batshuai, Jonathan Burkhart, Elias Baum and Younes Ebrnoutalib set to miss out.

Eintracht Frankfurt: Santos, Amenda, Koch, Theate, Brown, Larsson, Chaïbi, Kristensen, Doan, Uzun Kalimuendo.

Tottenham Hotspur: Vicario, Porro, Van de Ven, Danso, Romero, Udogie, Spence, Gray, Simons, Odobert, Solanke.

Anything else catch the eye?

Frankfurt have been the great entertainers this season and we've seen four goals or more in their last five matches.

We only saw a single goal when these teams last faced off but that was in the tense second leg of a quarter-final and we should see more action in this game. Combining over 2.5 goals and BTTS looks well worth a punt at evens with William Hill.

I'm surprised to see Frankfurt so big with Spurs down to the bare bones, although the Germans are admittedly in poor form and have nothing to play for. There could be some value in backing Eintracht to win either half at 5/4 with Coral.

Bournemouth host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Wednesday night at the Vitality Stadium, with both sides arriving under pressure for different reasons. The midweek schedule adds intensity, and recent numbers suggest this matchup carries more edge than the table alone implies.

Bournemouth come into the game with stronger short term momentum. Across the last four league matches they have posted 6.28 xPTS, compared to Tottenham’s 5.03. That gap reflects consistency rather than standout results, with Bournemouth remaining competitive even when results have not followed. Their attacking output over that spell stands at 1.85 xG, supported by a combined xG total of 3.53, pointing toward games shaped by volume rather than control.

Tottenham’s recent profile is less convincing. Over the same four game window they are producing just 0.90 xG, alongside an xG ratio of 0.41. Goals have dried up accordingly, with recent returns of one, zero, one, one, zero highlighting blunt attacking phases. Away from home those issues are magnified, with Spurs conceding territory and allowing opponents into high value areas more often than they create themselves.

Form lines reinforce that picture. Bournemouth’s recent home performances show resilience rather than collapse, while Spurs’ away output has dipped both in goals and expected threat. In terms of discipline and control, Tottenham have also been forced into reactive football on their travels.

With Bournemouth showing stronger xPTS momentum and Spurs searching for rhythm, this fixture sets up as a tight contest shaped by pressure, discipline, and game management rather than free flowing attack.

How the bookies view it: Hosts are favourites

Bournemouth are priced at 11/10 in the match winner market, implying a 47.6% chance of a home win. The draw sits at 14/5, equating to 26.3%, while Tottenham are priced at 5/2, implying a 28.6% chance.

The goals markets point toward a higher event game. Over 2.5 goals is priced at 4/6, implying a 60.0% chance, while both teams to score at 8/13 equates to 61.9%.

Those prices suggest the market expects goals from both sides, with both teams to score rated slightly more likely than a third goal.

Head to Head: Spurs hold the historical edge

Across the last 17 Premier League meetings, Bournemouth have won four, drawn three, and lost 10 against Tottenham, with goals standing at 15 scored and 37 conceded. That averages 3.06 total goals per game, with Bournemouth contributing 0.88 and Tottenham 2.18, pointing to Spurs historically driving the scoring without complete control of results.

Recent meetings show a clear shift toward tighter games and improved Bournemouth outcomes. Bournemouth are unbeaten in the last three league meetings, winning two and drawing one. That run includes a 1-0 away win earlier this season, a 2-2 draw in north London, and a 1-0 home victory last season. Those results contrast sharply with earlier fixtures that regularly produced heavy Tottenham wins.

At the Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth have increasingly competed well. Three of the last five home league meetings have ended in Bournemouth wins or draws, with Tottenham failing to score in two of those games. While earlier visits saw Spurs dominate with scorelines such as 5-0 and 5-1, the more recent pattern points toward lower margins and reduced attacking control from the away side.

Players to watch: Bournemouth set piece issues continue

Micky van de Ven one or more shots is supported by matchup and chance profile. Bournemouth have conceded the most goals from set pieces in the league. They have faced 72 shots from set pieces and allowed 6.62 xGA from those situations.

That volume creates repeat opportunities for opposition centre backs attacking first contacts and second balls. Van de Ven is a regular target on attacking set pieces and steps forward aggressively when Spurs sustain pressure.

He has registered at least one shot in nine of 19 starts this season, including fixtures driven by set piece volume rather than open play dominance. With Bournemouth inviting sustained defensive phases and struggling to clear initial deliveries, one shot sits within his normal involvement rather than requiring an outlier performance.

Predicted line-ups

AFC Bournemouth (4-2-3-1): Petrovic, Jimenez, Hill, Senesi, Truffert, Scott, Tavernier, Semenyo, Kluivert, Brooks, Evanilson.

Tottenham Hotspur (4-2-3-1): Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Davies, Bentancur, Gray, Odobert, Kolo Muani, Tel, Richarlison.

Anything else catch the eye?

Bournemouth double chance and Tottenham over 1.5 cards stands out as a logical midweek angle once the underlying trends are aligned.

Start with Bournemouth. Over the last four games they rank above Spurs on xPTS at 6.28 versus 5.03, indicating the hosts are collecting performance points at a higher rate even without dominant results.

Their attacking numbers support competitiveness rather than control, with 1.85 xG and a 3.53 total xG profile suggesting games remain live deep into the contest. That consistency underpins the case for Bournemouth avoiding defeat rather than pushing for a narrow match result.

Tottenham’s away profile strengthens the double chance logic. Their last four games show just 0.90 xG, paired with a 0.41 xG ratio. That level of output leaves little margin for error, particularly against a side capable of sustaining pressure phases. Recent goal returns of one, zero, one, one, zero underline the lack of attacking cushion when games become tense.

The discipline angle is equally strong. Spurs are averaging 2.3 cards per away game this season. They have picked up at least 1.5 cards in eight of 10 away matches, and at least one card in nine of those. Bournemouth fixtures consistently draw fouls from visiting sides, with away teams averaging 2.3 cards at the Vitality Stadium. Every visitor has collected at least one card, and five of 10 have reached two or more.

Referee Darren England reinforces that trend. He averages 3.75 cards per Premier League game this season and has shown the away side two or more cards in seven of 12 matches. In a tight midweek contest shaped by pressure and fatigue, Bournemouth double chance combined with Spurs over 1.5 cards aligns cleanly with form, xPTS momentum, and disciplinary patterns.
