While Liverpool’s trip to Goodison Park might steal plenty of Saturday’s attention, we have five heavyweight Premier League showdowns on the cards.
As Manchester City look to make it back-to-back Premier League victories, we could be set for a frantic afternoon from up and down the country.
For those of you looking to stick on a Saturday flutter, we have taken a look at some of the most appealing Premier League betting tips.
15:00 Aston Villa vs Southampton
Making what was a crucial return to winning ways earlier in the week as they claimed a 3-1 victory at home against Brentford, Aston Villa will be desperately seeking a repeat performance here. Drawing a line under their remarkable eight-match winless rut across all competitions, Unai Emery’s men will certainly be smelling a golden opportunity on Saturday afternoon. With their sights set on punching another famous European ticket this season, the one-time Arsenal boss rightfully finds his squad pencilled in as a landsite contender this weekend. Likewise, finding the net against Brentford on Wednesday night, Ollie Watkins will be looking to record back-to-back Premier League strikes for the first time since the middle of September. However, already registering seven top-flight goals so far this season, the England international has also recorded three goals in his previous five appearances for club and country.
Completely blown away at St. Mary’s in midweek as they slumped to a 5-1 drumming against Chelsea, Southampton find themselves at the heart of a public crisis. While Russell Martin’s men might have only made their Premier League return this season, the Saints are already seeking a miracle, Sat rock-bottom of the table and rightfully regarded as a runaway relegation contender, the former Swansea boss has a tremendous amount of pressure on his shoulders. In fact, Saturday’s guests have collected just five points from any of their first 14 Premier League appearances. Heading into November’s international break with a 2-0 loss at the hands of fellow strugglers Wolves, Southampton have certainly gained a reputation for their glaring struggles at the back. Already shipping 30 top-flight strikes, Martin’s downbeat squad also hold the second-worst defensive tally among England’s elite.

17:30 Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest
Falling to a 2-0 loss away at historic rivals Arsenal in midweek, Manchester United will be seeking an immediate response here. Really getting Ruben Amorim’s tenure underway with a thumping 4-0 victory at home against Everton last weekend, the Reds will certainly be excited to make a return to Old Trafford. Despite gaining a reputation for their glaring issues on the road, United have continued to shine with their performances in the red half of Manchester. Heading into November’s fortnight interval with a 3-0 win against Leicester, the former Sporting Lisbon boss has seen his squad win all of their last four appearances at old Trafford by an aggregate score of 12-2. Desperate to drag themselves into the top-half of the Premier league table, it should also be noted that Amorim’s new squad have not suffered a single defeat in front of their own supporters since the end of September.
While Nottingham Forest might have enjoyed a record-breaking start when opening the new campaign, they have largely come crashing back down to earth. Falling to a 3-0 loss away at defending champions Manchester City earlier in the week, Saturday’s guests have come tumbling away from a shock European charge. Marking their return from November’s international break with another 3-0 defeat against Arsenal, Nuno Espírito Santo’s men have lost three of their last four Premier League appearances. Heading into the fortnight interval with a 3-1 defeat at home against Newcastle, the former Wolves boss has also seen his squad lose their previous two showdowns away from the City Ground by an aggregate score of 6-0. It should also be noted, on a run that stems all the way back to 1994, Forest have lost each of their previous seven historic trips to Old Trafford.
