Premier League betting preview & free tips | EPL Matchweek 12

The English Premier League returns this weekend with a full slate of 10 games, including an intriguing matchup between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur. Below are our free soccer betting picks for Matchweek 12 of the 2024-25 EPL campaign.

Leicester City v Chelsea

Saturday, November 23 – 11:30pm AEDT – King Power Stadium

After holding Arsenal to a 1-1 draw before the international break, third-placed Chelsea will be feeling confident ahead of their trip to Leicester. The Blues did the double on the Foxes last term, and they should be good enough to do it again at the King Power Stadium.

Arsenal v Nottingham Forest

Sunday, November 14 – 2am AEDT – Emirates Stadium

Arsenal, sitting fourth, will be eager to end their four-match winless run when they host Nottingham Forest, who are a position behind them. Although Forest haven’t lost on the road this season, expect Mikel Arteta’s men to squeeze past their opponents in a hard-fought encounter.

Aston Villa v Crystal Palace

Sunday, November 14 – 2am AEDT – Villa Park

Down to ninth on the ladder after two consecutive defeats, Aston Villa will be hoping to bounce back against a struggling Crystal Palace side. Palace are winless from their last seven league trips to Villa Park, losing five times and drawing twice, and that trend is expected to continue.

Bournemouth v Brighton & Hove Albion

Sunday, November 14 – 2am AEDT – Vitality Stadium

Sixth-placed Brighton will be eager to build on their recent victory over Manchester City when they face 12th-placed Bournemouth, who also beat the champions earlier this month. Expect a tightly contested match, with the Seagulls eventually carrying the day.

Everton v Brentford

Sunday, November 14 – 2am AEDT – Goodison Park

Brentford, sitting 11th, will be keen on climbing up the EPL table on their trip to Merseyside to face Everton, who are five places below them. Bryan Mbeumo has scored eight goals this season, and leading soccer betting sites are paying +225 for the Brentford forward in the anytime goalscorer market.

Fulham v Wolverhampton Wanderers

Sunday, November 14 – 2am AEDT – Craven Cottage

Seventh-placed Fulham will be confident ahead of hosting Wolves, who moved from the foot of the table after securing their first win of the season last time out. Expect Marco Silva’s attacking side to secure maximum points against a defensively vulnerable opponent.

Manchester City v Tottenham Hotspur

Sunday, November 14 – 4:30am AEDT – Etihad Stadium

After suffering four consecutive defeats in all competitions, the first of which was to Tottenham, Manchester City will be looking to bounce back against 10th-placed Spurs. A frontrunner in the race for the Golden Boot with 12 goals, Erling Haaland is paying +275 to strike first for Pep Guardiola’s side.

Southampton v Liverpool

Monday, November 25 – 1am AEDT – St Mary’s Stadium

Enjoying a five-point advantage at the top of the Premier League table, Liverpool will fancy their chances against bottom-placed Southampton. With eight goals this season, back Mohamed Salah to score for the fifth consecutive game.

Ipswich Town v Manchester United

Monday, November 25 – 3:30am AEDT – Portman Road

Manchester United, sitting 13th, will embark on a new era when they face newly promoted Ipswich Town, who sit dangerously close to the drop zone. Although the Tractor Boys secured a surprise win over Spurs a fortnight ago, expect Ruben Amorim to begin his United reign with a win.

Newcastle United v West Ham United

Tuesday, November 26 – 7am AEDT – St James’ Park

Following impressive wins over Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, eighth-placed Newcastle United will be fired up ahead of their encounter with visiting West Ham, who trail them with six points. Newcastle’s Alexander Isak has scored four goals in his last four games, and top bookie Marantelli Bet is paying +100 for the Swede to score at any time.
