A huge Premier League weekend awaits us, with the title race intensifying after Arsenal’s slip up at Wolves on Wednesday.
Manchester City will look to take advantage on Saturday evening when Newcastle visit the Etihad, a game which is now one of the most important in the 2025-26 season.
And if the Citizens emerge with a win, cutting the gap at the top to just two points, the latest edition of the North London derby on Sunday between Tottenham and Arsenal quickly becomes the biggest game of the campaign thus far.
Yeah, Matchday 27 could be spectacular, and here are our betting picks for the upcoming matches based on NetBet’s latest Premier League odds.
Let’s begin…

Manchester City vs Newcastle: Anytime goalscorer – Omar Marmoush @ 2.33
Erling Haaland is a fitness doubt for Manchester City, so Marmoush could lead the line against Newcastle tomorrow night. And the Egyptian striker has a sensational record against the Magpies, one we are backing him to extend. Marmoush scored a hat-trick vs Eddie Howe’s men in this Premier League fixture last season, and also netted a brace in the EFL Cup semi-final second leg at the start of the month. So while Newcastle are in decent form with three consecutive wins, the fact remains they have failed to keep a clean sheet in the last eight games across all competitions. Defensive output which looks perfect for Marmoush and co…
Liverpool to beat Nottingham Forest @ 1.77
The Vitor Pereira era at Forest got off to the best possible start yesterday evening with a 3-0 win at Fenerbahce in their Europa League play-off tie. It is a result which caught everyone off guard, but it has certainly instilled fresh hope at the City Ground. However, the exertions in Istanbul may not benefit the team this weekend, with a fresh Liverpool side waiting to pounce. Arne Slot’s men won 1-0 at Sunderland last time out in the Premier League, and claimed a comfortable 3-0 victory over Brighton in the FA Cup. The Reds are beginning to look like a more cohesive unit, and we think they will have too much for relegation-threatened Forest on Sunday afternoon.
Tottenham vs Arsenal: Draw @ 3.88
It is no secret that Arsenal are wobbling in the title race. Back-to-back draws at Brentford (1-1) and Wolves (2-2) have heaped untold amounts of pressure on the shoulders of Mikel Arteta and his men. The Gunners’ poor form has made the latest edition of the North London derby one of the biggest games in the club’s recent history, as anything but a victory could result in a full-scale implosion. Arsenal’s failure at Molineux has made Igor Tudor’s first team talk as Spurs boss incredibly easy, and even with an injury crisis bordering on ridiculous, the hosts can take something from this game. The recent comeback in the 2-2 draw vs City only helps to support this selection.
Everton vs Manchester United: Luke Shaw to commit over 1.5 fouls @ 2.38
Shaw has committed more fouls than any other United player this season with 33 in 26 appearances. On Monday night, he is likely to come face-to-face with Everton’s tricky playmaker Illiman Ndiaye, who draws fouls for fun when at the top of his game. The Senegal star has completed 36 dribbles in the Premier League this season, the sixth-highest total in the division. So Shaw could be in for a long evening at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and you can back that outcome on NetBet at fantastic odds.
