With the EPL 2023/2024 season already underway, the reigning champions Manchester City are doing their best to take home their fourth-straight Premier League title. Mancity went into the latest international break at third place, but they’re still within the distance to finish the season on top of the table.
Liverpool, Arsenal, and several other teams will fancy the opportunity to push Manchester City as the season progresses, while Brighton, Aston Villa, and Newcastle wage European campaigns. Here’s a preview of upcoming EPL matches and some soccer betting tips to help you make informed decisions when wagering on the games.
Liverpool vs Everton (21st October)
Following the international break, the EPL matches will bounce back with a bang on Saturday, 21St October with the first Merseyside Derby this season. Liverpool will get the home advantage and their victory over Liverpool can give them the chance to take the top spot on the league standings. Jurgen Klopp’s men will also be looking for a response as the team has gone two games without a Premier League victory.
Liverpool’s controversial loss against Tottenham was followed by their disappointing draw at Brighton, despite Mohammed Salah bouncing back to shape and netting a goal. Everton, on the other hand, have eased their relegation worries after landing two victories in their last three games. However, Liverpool’s home advantage in this game is hard to overlook and the Toffees might struggle to score goals in this match. That said, Liverpool seems like the best option to back when betting on the EPL.
Chelsea vs Arsenal (21st October)
With Chelsea and Arsenal being from the same area, this local derby is creating a huge buzz in the community. Both teams seem ready for the match, with Chelsea expected to maximize their home advantage to claim the victory. However, Chelsea has suffered two consecutive defeats in their last three games with the Gunners.
Arsenal are currently having an away winning streak after bagging nine points from three premier league travels. The Gunners have won their last three away games in a row and they don’t seem intimidated by being the away team in this match. The team has also won all the latest four matches against Chelsea. That makes it a difficult EPL game to predict the winner, but a draw will make a valuable bet in this case.
Manchester City vs Brighton (21st October)
Manchester City will come back from their international break hoping to maintain their impressive pace in the EPL title race. The City stars have been almost flawless this season, although they’ll need to prove their skills against Robert De Zerbi’s men.
Going into the game, Pep Guardiola’s men are bolstered by the confidence of their Champions League triumph and they don’t expect to go easy on Brighton. Brighton, on the other hand, has maintained a steady performance during their first season in European football, with a superb attacking style. However, they might not have what it takes to stop Pep Guardiola’s winning machine while on the road. As such, we predict that Manchester City will finish the match victorious.
Conclusion
While there will be plenty of EPL matches kicking off after the international break on 21st October, the three matches above are the most anticipated. However, there will be other interesting games, including Brentford vs Burnley, New Castle vs Crystal Palace, Sheffield United vs Manchester United and more.
