English Premier League: How To Efficiently Wager On Friday
Middle-of-the-table Brentford is a +280 underdog at +100 West Ham, which is trifling with the relegation zone after winning just one of its last seven matches. The Bees, meanwhile, have proven competitive with the Premier League’s big names. A win over Man City before the World Cup break and a draw with Tottenham have West Ham looking dangerous.
Trying to wedge its way back into Champions League contention, fifth-place Liverpool is a -350 home favorite over +800 Leicester City. The Foxes won four of their last five matches before the World Cup break but were drilled 3-0 by Newcastle on Boxing Day. Meanwhile, the Reds downed Aston Villa 3-1 on Monday to stretch their winning streak to three games entering Friday’s match at Anfield.

EPL: How To Efficiently Wager On Saturday
Arsenal and its seven-point differential atop the table remain undeniable. Defeating West Ham 3-1 on Monday extended its winning streak to four matches and unbeaten streak to nine. Losing only once this season, the Gunners are +105 favorites Saturday at +240 Brighton, winners of three of its last four.
Behind a six-game winning streak and 11-game unbeaten streak, Newcastle United has risen to second place. Newcastle is a heavy -225 home favorite Saturday against +550 Leeds United, which has fallen to 15th in the table after losing five of its last seven matches.
Third-place Manchester City is a -750 home favorite Saturday against +1700 Everton, whose 2-1 loss to Wolves on Monday was its sixth defeat in its last eight matches. The victory was the first since Oct. 15 for Wolverhampton, a +310 home underdog against -107 Manchester United. The Red Devils have lost just once in their last eight matches, rising to fifth in the standings.

Boxing Day Betting: How To Wager On Sunday
Fourth-place Tottenham is fresh off a draw against Brentford. The Spurs are -150 home favorites Sunday against +375 Aston Villa. The Boxing Day tie continued an uneven run for Tottenham, which hasn’t strung together consecutive victories since early October. Meanwhile, Aston Villa’s 3-1 home loss to Liverpool on Monday snapped the modest two-game win streak it took into the World Cup break.
Once-proud Chelsea, lingering eighth in the table, is a -150 road favorite at +425 Nottingham Forest. While Chelsea is underperforming, Nottingham is in relegation territory. The Blues recorded a needed 2-0 victory over Bournemouth on Tuesday. It was their first match back after the World Cup, which Chelsea entered on a three-game losing streak. Forest has won just twice in its last 14 matches after losing to Manchester United on Tuesday.
