Premier League action continues this weekend with some huge action to be had at either end of the table including a clash at the top of the table.
Man City host Chelsea on Saturday, Brighton and Crystal Palace also face-off for their rivalry bout on Friday night at the Amex.
Here’s our betting preview and top tips from the matches this weekend…
Man United vs West Ham: Betting Tip
These two sides face each other on Saturday afternoon in a huge contest as four teams battle for fourth in the Premier League table.
The quest for Champions League football could elude West Ham if they fail to maintain their position in the league and if they fail to win the Europa League, where they dominated their group.
United are just two points off of the Hammers with a game in hand but have only won once in their last four games in their mission to catch David Moyes’ side up.
Cristiano Ronaldo was visibly annoyed when substituted at Brentford last time out and will be keen to get back into the action on Saturday in this important game.
He’s been involved in seven goals against the Hammers in just five Premier League appearances.
Jarrod Bowen has been in inspired form for West Ham and has been involved in 13 goals in just 18 league matches, netting six times and assisting seven.

Southampton vs Man City: Betting Tip
Kevin De Bruyne has been involved in 11 goals in his last 14 Premier League starts (9 goals, 2 assists), including netting a fantastic winner against Chelsea last Saturday.
De Bruyne has assisted in all three of his league starts at St Mary’s with a total of four assists against the Saints.
Man City also boast the best defence in the league so far this season having only conceded 13 goals after 22 games.
The Citizens are cruising 11 points clear at the top of the table so far and will be looking to secure yet another win in succession.

Crystal Palace v Liverpool: Betting Tip
Roberto Firmino has been firmly in the lineup for Liverpool amid Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane’s absences while they’re on international duty.
The Brazilian notched an assist against Brentford last time out but he hasn’t scored since his incredible hattrick against Watford back in October.
That was also the last time in the league he played a full 90 minutes for the Reds and could be called upon to do just that this weekend after their cup tie with Arsenal on Thursday night.
Palace have done well against those in the top part of the table this season, they’ve even beaten the top of the league twice so far with a win against Spurs and Man City already.
Michael Olise was substituted on in that game and assisted the eventual decider to make it 2-0 to Palace at the Etihad and the young midfielder is likely to be involved once more.
Olise was integral in their comeback to Millwall earlier this month in the FA Cup, assisting the first and scored a free-kick shortly after to secure a win at the Den.
talkSPORT EDGE tip: Firmino to score and Olise to assist at 15/1 (Paddy Power).

Chelsea vs Tottenham: Betting Tip
While Spurs are eyeing a route into the top four in this tough fixture, the Blues are keen to win their first league match having failed to in their last four.
Tottenham on the other hand are unbeaten in their last five and have four games in hand on their London rivals.
This classis London rivalry will kick off on Sunday evening to cap off an incredible weekend of football in the top-flight.
These two faced each other twice already this month, in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup, where Chelsea won both with an aggregate of 3-0.
Prior to that, in the league, Chelsea won at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in September by the same scoreline, with goals from Thiago Silva, N’Golo Kante and Antonio Rudiger.
However, it could shape slightly differently with the momentum from Spurs’ midweek game against Leicester on Wednesday night where two goal in the final minutes saw them snatch victory in the unlikeliest of fashions.
Deep into stoppage time Steven Bergwijn scored a brace after coming on as a substitute in the 79th minute and their comeback in the 95th and 97th minute was sealed.
That being said, Tottenham do struggle against the Blues, but will certainly go down fighting this time out.
