As Arsenal look to extend on their Premier League title charge this weekend, we have a string of crucial showdowns from both ends of the table.
With Manchester United travelling to a resurgent Everton on Saturday lunchtime, we have seven Premier League fixtures on the cards across Saturday afternoon.
For those of you looking to stick on a Saturday acca, we have taken an in-depth look at some of Saturday’s most appealing Premier League betting tips.
Saturday, February 22nd
BST 15:00 Arsenal vs West Ham
While Arsenal might have suffered major EFL Cup frustration earlier in the month as they slumped to a 4-0 aggregate defeat against Newcastle, the Gunners are enjoying an extended Premier League flurry.
Desperate to keep their title dreams alive on Saturday afternoon, Mikel Arteta’s men are unbeaten in all of their previous 15 consecutive Premier League appearances.
Not suffering a single top-flight defeat since returning from November’s international break, Arsenal will also be excited by their free-scoring performances in the final third.
Getting February underway with a sensational 5-1 victory against defending champions Manchester City, Arteta’s side will be smelling a golden opportunity in north London.
Likewise, landing a late 2-0 win away at Leicester last weekend and also notching 12 goals in just their last four showdowns at the Emirates, Arsenal are rightfully installed as a landslide favourite this weekend.
While there might have been plenty of excitement around the London Stadium last month following Graham Potter’s arrival, West Ham have drastically failed to find any kind of stability this season.
With some in their camp starting to look over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap, the former Chelsea boss appears to have a real job on his hands.
Putting in a worrying display last weekend as they fell to a deserved 1-0 defeat at home against Brentford, the Hammers have collected just a single point from any of their previous four Premier League appearances.
Hit with a 5-2 drumming when they welcomed their London rivals across the capital on November 30th, Potter’s downbeat squad are facing another stern examination at the Emirates.

15:00 Bournemouth vs Wolves
Embarking on what has been a sensational Premier League romp this season, Bournemouth have rightfully received a string of plaudits from across England’s elite.
Putting in another dominant display last weekend as they stormed their way to a 3-1 victory away at bitter local rivals Southampton, Andoni Iraola’s camp find the mood around the Vitality at a red-hot high.
Remarkably getting Saturday’s showdown underway sat just a single point adrift of finding a route into the Champions League spots, the former Rayo Vallecano boss has seen his squad break a string of records.
Extending on their FA Cup adventure earlier in the month as they secured an eye-catching 2-0 win away at Everton, Bournemouth have won four of their previous five meetings against Premier League opposition.
It should also be noted, aside from a 2-0 defeat against runaway leaders Liverpool on February 1st, that is the only loss that they have suffered from any of their last 15 consecutive outings.
While Wolves might have put in a gritty performance away at Anfield last weekend, Saturday’s guests still find themselves at the heart of a Premier League relegation scrap.
Eventually falling to a 2-1 loss against Liverpool, Vitor Pereira’s men have lost five of their six meetings against Premier League opposition since opening the New Year.
Getting 2025 underway with a 3-0 drumming at home against Nottingham Forest, Wolves open this weekend’s fixtures holding just a two-point buffer from slipping into the relegation zone.
Likewise, losing all of their previous three Premier League showdowns outside of the Midlands by an aggregate score of 8-2, Pereira’s side have also recorded just a single top-flight win on their travels over the past few months.

17:30 Aston Villa vs Chelsea
While Chelsea might have enjoyed a sensational immediate boost following Enzo Maresca’s arrival at Stamford Bridge last summer, Saturday’s guests have come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion.
Watching their FA Cup adventure come to an end following a 2-1 loss at the Amex, the Blues suffered even more frustration away at Brighton last weekend.
Putting in a woeful display as they slumped to a 3-0 drumming, the former Leicester boss has found mounting pressure on his shoulders around west London.
Signing off January with a 3-1 loss at the hands of defending champions Manchester City, Chelsea have won just a pair of their previous 10 meetings against Premier League opposition across all competitions.
Along with losing all of their previous three consecutive showdowns away from Stamford Bridge by an aggregate score of 8-2, it should also be noted that Chelsea have failed to record a single domestic victory on their travels since December 8th.
Although Aston Villa might have only managed to muster a pair of wins from any of their last eight matchups across all fronts, Unai Emery’s men will be confident of making a statement here.
Putting in what was an action-packed performance earlier in the week as they eventually played out a 2-2 stalemate at home against Liverpool, the former Arsenal boss has seen his squad gain a reputation for their success in the Midlands.
In fact, Villa have suffered just a single defeat from any of their last 20 appearances in front of their own supporters – a purple patch that stems all the way back to August 24th.
Booking a sensational Champions League top-eight finish last month, Emery’s side should be relishing Chelsea’s arrival in the Midlands this weekend.
