EPL Matchweek 16 preview, betting tips & top odds

As we approach the halfway point of the English Premier League season, there appear to be as many as six squads still in the title race. We have free EPL betting picks for Matchweek 16, with odds from the best bookmakers in Australia.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool

Saturday, December 9 – 12:30pm GMT – Selhurst Park

Mohamed Salah hasn’t scored in three EPL games, but the Egyptian legend has still made an impact with two assists in that span. Crystal Palace have a solid defence but will struggle to stop a Liverpool attack that has netted six goals in two games. At +110 with top soccer betting sites, Salah to score is great value as he searches for his 11th league goal of the season.

Manchester United vs Bournemouth

Saturday, December 9 – 3:00pm GMT – Old Trafford

Manchester United have been solid defensively but have struggled to score all season. The Red Devils have only conceded twice in their past five games, and Bournemouth will have a hard time creating opportunities. While Bournemouth’s defence is lacking, United have 18 goals in 15 games and may struggle to take full advantage of the gaps their opposition will provide. On form, the under is the pick.

Sheffield United vs Brentford

Saturday, December 9 – 3pm GMT – Bramall Lane

Brentford have struggled in recent matches, but they can get back on track when they take on last-placed Sheffield United. The Blades have been outscored 10-1 in their last three matches, while they have conceded a whopping 41 times in 15 matches. Although the Bees only have one win from their last four, they should be good enough to get all three points at Bramall Lane.

Aston Villa vs Arsenal

Saturday, December 9 – 6:30pm GMT – Villa Park

Aston Villa have won all seven home matches this season, including their midweek clash with Manchester City. While it doesn’t get any easier for them this weekend, it’s hard to doubt the Villans. Arsenal have one of the top defences in the EPL, but Villa sit in second in goals scored this season and look like great value to knock off the league leaders.
