Premier League Predictions: Arsenal to Extend Lead as City Faces West Ham Test

Arsenal are tipped to move further clear at the top of the Premier League table with a home win against Everton, according to Sky Sports' betting expert Jones Knows. The Gunners face a David Moyes side that has lost 20 of its last 21 away games against the league's elite, making the 10/11 odds for an Arsenal win and under 3.5 goals particularly appealing.

Manchester City's struggles against deep-lying defenses continue to concern bettors, with the champions having won by two or more goals just once in their last 18 away matches. West Ham are well-positioned to exploit this vulnerability, sitting on strong underlying numbers under Nuno Espirito Santo. The 6/5 double chance for the Hammers represents value given City's recent form.

Chelsea's transformation under Liam Rosenior has caught the attention of sharp money, with the Blues leading the league in expected goals created at 2.4 xG per 90 minutes. Their -1 handicap at 2/1 against Newcastle looks promising, especially with the Magpies focused on their midweek Barcelona fixture. The weekend's other notable picks include Bournemouth's Alex Scott at 6/4 to have two shots in a win at Burnley, and Ismaila Sarr at 13/5 to score for Crystal Palace against Leeds.
