Premier League Matchweek 27 Predictions: Who Wins the North London Derby?

Last Updated: a day ago

The FA Cup put the Premier League on hold last weekend, but Matchweek 27 should help to make up for that.

The Premier League schedule this weekend has some compelling matchups, including a North London Derby on Sunday.

Of the 10 games on tap this weekend, here are my three favorite Premier League predictions.

Premier League Predictions: Matchweek 27

Chelsea -1.5 vs Burnley (-165)

This is an obvious mismatch, but you can find some value by betting on Chelsea to win by multiple goals.

The Blues have won seven of their last nine games across all competitions, with four of those seven wins coming by at least two goals.

With the third-most goals scored and third-best goal differential in the league, Chelsea is the type of team that can blow away a team like Burnley that’s in the relegation zone.

The Clarets have just one win in their last six matches, a stretch that includes multiple-goal losses to both West Ham and Sunderland, which is why a Chelsea win by multiple goals is a safe bet.

Bournemouth ML vs West Ham United (+175)

West Ham is fighting to avoid relegation and has gotten some positive results lately.

However, Bournemouth has quietly become one of the hottest teams in the Premier League, with the Cherries going seven straight without a loss, including wins over Liverpool and Everton.

For a team that sits ninth in the table, Bournemouth has the fifth-most goals in the Premier League this season, which explains why they’ve scored multiple goals in seven of their last nine games.

On the contrary, West Ham has one of the worst defensive records in the league, which is why the Cherries will have no trouble scoring goals on the road and getting a win in my EPL bet of the day.

Arsenal ML vs Tottenham (-185)

Arsenal looks like a mess at the moment after giving up a late goal against Wolves, settling for a draw against the worst team in the Premier League.

The Gunners are also dealing with some injury issues, with Bukayo Saka a potential doubt to play this weekend after picking up a knock on Wednesday.

Of course, Tottenham has even more injuries, not to mention an interim manager making his debut in a North London Derby.

After a poor result on Wednesday, Mikel Arteta should get a response from his team, especially against a Tottenham side that has had an abysmal home record in the Premier League this season, losing seven of its 13 home matches.
