We’ve studied the form lines and head-to-head records to identify three selections offering strong winning potential. Here are our top betting picks for this crucial weekend.

Premier League: Liverpool to dominate United in Sunday showpiece

Liverpool welcome Manchester United to Anfield on Sunday afternoon, and the form book just edges the home side. The Reds have been in mixed form this season, with their attacking trident not quite firing and defensive mistakes a concern, however Manchester United have not won at Anfield since January 2016.

United’s away record against top-six opposition has also been concerning, struggling to cope with intense pressing systems. Liverpool’s ability to control territory and convert chances at Anfield makes them favourites to secure the victory.

Premier League: Forest’s defensive strength frustrates Chelsea

Nottingham Forest host Chelsea at the City Ground on Saturday lunchtime, and the home side are due to put in a performance that could frustrate the Blues’ attacking ambitions. Forest will hope to be a difficult team to break down, particularly on their own patch.

Chelsea’s record against defensive sides has been mixed this season, often struggling to find rhythm against packed defences. Forest’s counter-attacking threat provides an additional dimension that could catch Chelsea cold.

Premier League: Brighton’s home form to trouble Newcastle

Brighton welcome Newcastle to the Amex Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and the Seagulls’ impressive home form makes them favourites to collect maximum points. Their attractive, possession-based football has caused problems for visiting teams throughout the campaign, particularly on the south coast.

Newcastle’s away form has been inconsistent, particularly against mid-table opponents who can match their intensity. Brighton’s technical quality and home advantage should see them control proceedings in what promises to be an entertaining encounter.
