Bet On Premier League in Gameweek 17, Prediction, Lines & Picks

Heading into what is always the busiest part of the English Premier League season, we have a great battle emerging at the top of the league.

Funnily enough, the two teams that are leading the way eight now, Liverpool and Chelsea, are not the teams we believed would be in this position at the midway point of the season.

Bet On Premier League in Gameweek 17 Analysis

Given that Manchester City and Arsenal have been battling it out for the last 2 seasons, the feeling was that we might get more of the same this time around.

These two are still hanging around, but with points being dropped across the board, it is becoming tough to predict how things will play out.

Let’s stay with current form and take a look at the best English Premier League Games in Matchday 17.

Aston Villa +210 vs Manchester City +107 Draw +265

EPL Betting Prediction: Aston Villa 2-2 Manchester City
When: Saturday, December 21, 2024, 6:30 AM
Where: Villa Park, Birmingham, England

If, prior to the start of the season, you had suggested that Manchester City would not be in the top 4, we would have probably all laughed in your face. After another collapse, this time a 2-1 loss to rivals Manchester United, City now has just 1 win in their last 11 games overall.

They have taken just 4 points out of a possible 15 in league play and are now 9 points out of the lead, with a game more played. Villa saw their 2-game winning streak come to an end with a loss to Nottingham Forest last weekend, a loss that leaves them down in 6th. For me, this one has a draw written all over it.

Crystal Palace +410 vs Arsenal -169 Draw +295

EPL Betting Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-3 Arsenal
When: Saturday, December 21, 2024, 11:30 AM
Where: Selhurst Park, London, England

The late game on Saturday is yet another London derby, and while this looks to be a bit of a slam dunk, you never really know how a rivalry game might play out. After a rough start, Crystal Palace are trying to move out of the relegation zone, picking up points in each of their last 5 games, including 2 wins in their last 3.

Arsenal are sitting in 3rd, but they are also dropping points, drawing each of the last 2 games, which means that they are now 6 points out of the top spot, with Liverpool having played a game less. I think they get back to winning ways on Saturday.

Manchester United -123 vs Bournemouth +280 Draw +280

EPL Betting Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Bournemouth
When: Sunday, December 22, 2024, 8:00 AM
Where: Old Trafford, Manchester, England

With points being dropped by the top teams, those sitting outside the European spots will still feel they have a chance to get in. United are sitting mid-table right now, but they are also just 6 points out of the final Champions League spot.

They are sure to still be on a high after beating City this past weekend, but this team has been unpredictable for a minute. Bournemouth is one of the surprise teams of the season, sitting in 7th right now after winning each of their last 3 games. They play West Ham on Monday and could keep that streak alive, it a trip to Old Trafford is always tough.

Tottenham +290 vs Liverpool -140 Draw +320

EPL Betting Prediction: Tottenham 0-2 Liverpool
When: Sunday, December 22, 2024, 10:30 AM
Where: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, England

After a solid start to the season, Tottenham has seen things begin to slide, with the pressure now on manager Ange Postecogliui, a man very much on the hot seat. A 5-0 win over Southampton this past weekend will have eased some of the pressure, but that could all be washed away with a poor showing here.

Liverpool, have looked invincible from the start of the season, but with 2 draws in their last 3 games, some cracks are beginning to show, but I still think they are good enough to travel to London and get the win.
