Premier League Matchday 20 Top Picks, Spreads, Predictions and Analysis

There is still a long way to go in the English Premier League season, but we have reached the point where the pressure is beginning to pile on the managers of teams that are not getting the job done.

We have already seen several managers fired and replaced, and it’s probably more than fair to suggest that more removals are coming.

 

Premier League Matchday 20 Top Picks Analysis

This part of the season is always crazy, as the games come thick and fast over Christmas and the New Year.

We still have games to come in, Matchday 19 before we get to the next set of games this coming weekend, so keep that in mind when we talk about the current Stats and standings.

Here are 4 games we like in Matchday 20.

 

Tottenham +188 vs Newcastle +116 Draw +270

EPL Prediction: Tottenham 2-3 Newcastle
EPL Betting Spread: Newcastle -0.5 (O/U 3.5)
When: Saturday, January 4, 2025, 7:30 AM

If we are going to talk about managers on the hot seat, you have to put Ange Postecoglou of Tottenham in the conversation. After a strong start to the season, the wheels have come off in a big way, with Spurs picking up just 4 points in their last 5 games.

That has seen Spurs slip all the way down to 11th. Newcastle is moving in the right direction, winning 3 in a row ahead of their Monday game against Manchester United, which could conceivably be another win.

This matchup tends to produce goals, so look at the OVER.

Crystal Palace +270 vs Chelsea -117 Draw +270

EPL Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-3 Chelsea
EPL Betting Spread: Chelsea -0.5 (O/U 2.5)
When: Saturday, January 4, 2025, 10:00 AM

Every weekend seems to deliver a London derby, and Matchday 20 is no different, with Crystal Palace set to host title contenders Chelsea, Palace has been a tough team to figure out this season, which you can see from their last 5 games, where they have gone 2-1-2, which is not a bad run of form for a team in the bottom half.

Chelsea, have been looking like a true title contender of late, but their 2-1 loss to Fulham this past weekend has seen them slip down to 4th.

I like them to bounce back here.

Brighton +320 vs Arsenal -133 Draw +270

EPL Prediction: Brighton 1-2 Arsenal
EPL Betting Spread: Arsenal -0.5 (O/U 2.5)
When: Saturday, January 4, 2025, 12:30 PM

For many teams in the league, there tends to be highs and lows over the course of a season.

After a solid run of form, Brighton is heading in the wrong direction, picking up just 3 points over their last 5 games.

That is not the type of form you want to be in ahead of a game against a team challenging for the title.

Arsenal had a rough patch of their own, but with 3 wins and a pair of draws in their last 5 games, they appear to be coming out the other side.

Liverpool -400 vs Manchester United +800 Draw +490

EPL Prediction: Liverpool 3-0 Manchester United
EPL Betting Spread: Liverpool -1.5 (O/U 3.5)
When: Sunday, January 5, 2025, 11:30 AM

The final game of Matchday 20 comes on Sunday, with the league leaders going against a giant of the game that is having some serious issues.

Liverpool is unbeaten in their last 5 games and have won 3 in a row ahead of this one.

They have an 8-point lead at the top of the table and will be looking to maintain that lead heading into the New Year.

United have made a change on the sidelines with a new manager, but it is becoming obvious that they need a clear out of personnel.

They are looking at short term pain for long term gain, and I expect some pain in this one.

2023 Premier League Matchweek 20
 

The most anticipated English Premier League game in Matchweek 20 happens on Saturday morning when Man City hosts United a -125 road chalk. The Red Devils will be looking to continue their restart surge while City will be hoping to make up ground in the surprisingly competitive EPL. Then on Sunday, Tottenham faces Arsenal in a much anticipated match. Keep reading for Premier League Odds, analysis, and free picks for six of this weekend’s best English Premier League matches. 

2022-23 EPL Games to Must Bet and Watch this Weekend (Jan. 14th – 15th)

Manchester United +320 vs Manchester City -125

  • When: Saturday, Jan. 14 at 7:30 am ET

On Jan. 11, Manchester City committed a close to unforgivable sin. As a massive handicap and moneyline chalk, the Sky Blues lost to one of the worst teams in the Premier, Southampton.

Bouncing back versus Man United can happen. There are a couple of issues with backing City in this, though. First, United is on fire after winning their fifth straight on Jan. 11. Second, Man U offers overlay odds. It’s always a good idea to back the overlay play.

Soccer Pick: Manchester United

Brighton & Hove Albion +230 vs Liverpool +110

  • When: Saturday, Jan. 14 at 10:00 am ET

Liverpool isn’t nearly as dominant this season as they were last season. The Reds’ struggles continued in their last when drawing 2-2 versus Wolverhampton. In their match before, Pool fell 3-1 to Brentford. 

Brighton has had no such issues. In their last two, the home underdog in this beat Everton and Middlesbrough by a combined 9 goals to 2. Brighton grabs the win.

Soccer Pick: Brighton & Hove Albion

Wolverhampton Wanderers +167 vs West Ham United +170

  • When: Saturday, Jan. 14 at 10:00 am ET

West Ham won both head-to-head matches in 2022. The slight dog in this beat Brentford 1-0 in an English FA Cup in their last. 

Wolverhampton lost their last but it was a defeat via penalty kicks versus Nottingham Forest. The Wanderers are playing well enough to end the losing streak. Give the home team a look. 

Soccer Pick: Wolverhampton Wanderers

Chelsea -152 vs Crystal Palace +430

  • When: Sunday, Jan. 15 at 9:00 am ET

Chelsea is struggling to beat anybody. The Blues fell to Man City by 4 goals in their last. So it’s difficult to back the home team.

Palace, though, isn’t playing well, either. Going back to 2021, the Blues have taken the last five head-to-head. It’s doubtful icy Crystal ends the losing streak on Sunday. 

Soccer Pick: Chelsea 

Newcastle United -1.5 +139 vs Fulham +1.5 -178

  • When: Sunday, Jan. 15 at 9:00 am ET

Newcastle heads into this in third place on the standings. The home team was struggling but turned things around in their last.

The chalk in this beat Leicester City 2-0 in their last match. The victory should signal a form reversal, which means Newcastle figures to do a number on Fulham. The home favorite covers. 

Soccer Pick: Newcastle United -1.5

Tottenham Hotspur +220 vs Arsenal +120 

  • When: Sunday, Jan. 15 at 11:30 am ET

Tottenham has won 2 straight. Arsenal has won 3-of-4 with a draw. In the last head-to-head, the Gunners dominated the Hotspur 3-1.

But Tottenham takes on Arsenal on their pitch. The Hotspur struggles when club teams first restarted. The last two victories means Tottenham’s form has turned positive. Not only that, but the odds make the home team an overlay. 

Soccer Pick: Tottenham Hotspur
