Man United’s top four tilt suffered a huge blow in recent weeks, the Red Devils falling behind Arsenal and Tottenham. The Red Devils have won only one of their last three games. Both teams have only managed one win in their last five games. Burnley welcomes Everton to the Turf Moor in what promises to be a relegation six-pointer. Newcastle went on a strong run at the turn of the year, winning five straight. The striker has contributed a goal or an assist in each of Spurs’ last five games. Wolves are on a run that has won two of their last five while Aston Villa has won three of their last five. The Clarets have failed to win any of their last four games, picking up only one point. The Canaries have lost their last six games. Southampton has followed up a four game unbeaten run by losing their last three. After a week-long international break, the Premier League is back with a mini-double game-week for Everton and Burnley. Fantasy managers have enjoyed a well deserved two-week break after what has been a topsy turvy season. Liverpool is the clear favorite to win this fixture.

English Premier League weekend best bets (New York Post)

Best Bet #2 – Manchester United/Leicester City Over 3 Goals (-115). Much like Leeds United and Southampton, these teams don't like playing much defense. History ...

This season, it has scored 34 goals on 39.5 expected and a good chunk of that discrepancy has come at home. The duality with this play exciting me is that United’s attack has played very well at home while Leicester has struggled to defend on the road. Further, it hasn’t held a top-half opponent to fewer than two goals away from home this season. Given it notched 2.3 xG in the reverse fixture against Leeds, expect another strong performance from the Saints. Goals should come quite easily for the Peacocks, especially considering how bad Southampton’s defense has played away from home. As a result, I’m expecting goals in this fixture.

LEEDS, England (AP) — James Ward-Prowse has David Beckham in his sights. The Southampton midfielder produced more free kick magic to earn his team a 1-1 ...

Southampton lost its previous three league games before a thumping home FA Cup loss to Manchester City before the international break, and will be happier than Leeds with a point. Jack Harrison gave Leeds the lead in the 29th, bundling home from close range after Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster failed to gather Raphinha's cross from the right. The Southampton midfielder produced more free kick magic to earn his team a 1-1 draw at Leeds in the English Premier League on Saturday and halt its four-game losing run.
