Premier League Predictions: Everton to Defeat Newcastle, Bets & Insights

Football Betting Expert Jones Knows' Weekend Premier League Picks

As the Premier League action heats up, our football betting expert Jones Knows returns with insights and tips for the upcoming matches this weekend. With a focus on odds and player performances, he foresees Everton taking on Newcastle and Chelsea facing off against Nottingham Forest, among other exciting encounters.

Everton vs Newcastle: A Dramatic Showdown

Kick-off is scheduled for Saturday at 5:30 PM, live on Sky Sports. One of the standout betting angles is on Everton to receive more yellow cards than Newcastle, available at odds of 5/6 with Sky Bet. This might appear a short bet, but it holds significant value, resembling a near "banker" material.

Everton's strategy underlines their defensive approach, often limiting opportunities for opposition players to draw cards. A look at their last 44 Premier League fixtures reveals a mere 1.48 yellow cards awarded against their opposition; a statistic only second to Sheffield United's modest figure. Furthermore, in all eight matches played this season, their opponents garnered fewer than two yellow cards.

Historically, in the prior season, Newcastle didn't even acquire a yellow card during both matches against Everton, showcasing a trend that positions Everton favorably for the card race. Of note, they have won this bet in 18 out of their last 25 matches across various competitions.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-1 | BEST BET: Everton to receive more cards than Newcastle (5/6 with Sky Bet)

Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest: Tough Challenge Ahead

Scheduled for Sunday at 2 PM, Chelsea travels to face Nottingham Forest. Following their tactical victory over Brighton, Chelsea's recent form seems promising. However, Forest under Nuno Espirito Santo has demonstrated a commendable defensive structure. Since his arrival, Forest boasts strong defensive metrics, ranking only behind big teams like Manchester City in terms of expected-goals-against.

Interestingly, they have only conceded more than two goals in five of their last twenty matches. A bet to consider here is under 2.5 goals, currently at 6/4 with Sky Bet.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-0

Aston Villa vs Manchester United: An Unpredictable Clash

Another fixture to watch is the clash between Aston Villa and Manchester United, also on Sunday at 2 PM. United's inconsistency poses a significant challenge for fans and bettors alike. However, the invigorating performance of Aston Villa against Bayern Munich highlights their potential under Unai Emery.

Youri Tielemans is a player attracting attention, with odds of 7/2 with Sky Bet to record an assist. His influence on games and ability to contribute significantly to attacking plays cannot be overlooked.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1

Brighton vs Tottenham: Expect High-Scoring Action

On Sunday at 4:30 PM, Brighton faces off against Tottenham. Both teams' attacking styles suggest an intriguing duel filled with action. The market anticipates high goal counts, with the over 3.5 goals market trading at 10/11 with Sky Bet.

Dejan Kulusevski figures prominently here, with bets available for his scoring or assisting chances at 11/8 with Sky Bet. He proved essential last weekend, creating multiple chances and netting a vital goal for Tottenham.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-3 | BEST BET: Dejan Kulusevski to score or assist (11/8 with Sky Bet)
