Race for the Top Four: Tottenham vs Leicester & West Ham vs Arsenal Premier Preview and Betting Tips

The race for Champions League football is going down to the wire, with two massive games taking place in the Premier League on Sunday. Can Tottenham reclaim fourth spot, or will Arsenal extend the lead of their North London rivals?

Our expert tipster has previewed both games and provided the best betting tips available at NetBet’s football odds page ahead of the weekend’s action.

Tottenham vs Leicester Football Preview

It’s a hard task making predictions on any game that Spurs are involved in. One week they’re pulverising an in-form Newcastle 5-1, two weeks later they’re losing 1-0 at home to Brighton after failing to register a shot on target. It’s no wonder Antonio Conte has struggled to commit to the club!

That being said, they are a top four worthy team on their day. Heung-Min Son trails only Mo Salah in the goal scoring table, and Harry Kane is still lethal despite having a lacklustre campaign by his own standards.

Leicester have also found maintaining their performance levels difficult amidst an injury-plighted season, with an ongoing European adventure taking its toll on their squad. They are more than capable of turning up in London and snatching a result, but they haven’t fared too well on their travels this season – only Everton, Norwich and Burnley have picked up fewer points on the road.

Spurs are strong favourites with NetBet at 10/23, and although they’ve been a mystery at times, it does seem likely they’ll keep the pressure on Arsenal this weekend. There is too much at stake to put in a half-hearted performance in front of the home fans, with three points a necessity against 11/2 underdogs Leicester.

Tottenham vs Leicester Betting Tips

Tottenham win 2-1, 3-1, 4-1 – 59/20

This looks a decent option for those looking to cover bases at shorter odds. Spurs will be favourites with the talent in their attack, but Leicester aren’t without their own final third threats.

Tottenham win 2-0, Son to score anytime – 11/1

Leicester haven’t exactly been scoring goals for fun this season, and when Conte gets it right, Spurs are a nightmare to break down. We fancy a comfortable a win with what seems like an inevitable goal from the South Korean superstar.

West Ham vs Arsenal Football Preview

Arsenal seem to have recovered from their three match losing streak with wins against Chelsea and Manchester United last week. The six points put them firmly back in the driver’s seat, with a two point lead over Spurs and five games remaining.

This isn’t a fixture the Gunners tend to struggle in – they’ve won four of their last five meetings with West Ham, including a dominant display at the Emirates earlier this season. The Hammers do boast a far better home than away record this season, but having won just once in their last five league games, they are struggling for a bit of form.

David Moyes’ side are never an easy game, but they just seem to be running out of steam as the season draws to a close, with their squad no doubt stretched by the European schedule. Craig Dawson has been mammoth this season, but his suspension will gives Moyes serious selection issues, with Issa Diop, Angelo Ogbonna and Kurt Zouma all potentially set to miss out through injury.

NetBet have the hosts as huge 3/1 underdogs despite their record at the London Stadium, whilst Arsenal will be 10/13 favourites to retain their position in the top four.

West Ham vs Arsenal Betting Tips

Arsenal win and both to score – 5/2

There’s surely going to be goals in this game – West Ham’s lack of centre-halves and Arsenal’s seven goals in two games make it seem more than likely. However, they’re without a clean sheet in five and the Hammers have danger men of their own.

NetBet Boost: Bukayo Saka to score first – 11/2

Arsenal’s top goal scorer has netted in successive games, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see the youngster finish the season with a flourish.
