Premier League Betting Tips

A trip down memory lane to Leicester’s memorable Premier League win and some of those who had enough faith to bet (and profit!) on the outcome!

Frankfurt-born star Emre Can is, without doubt, one of the most interesting players in the Premier League. With a unique combination of raw power and intensive tactical awareness, only injuries and contract uncertainty has stopped Can from establishing himself among the very best in the league. Still in his early 20s, though, the Liverpool man has all the time in the world to find that extra verve and consistency in both fitness and form.

With a level of power when moving with the ball that can make him resemble a locomotive, Can has long been a player of immense repute due to his physicality. Linked regularly to making a return to Germany with Bayern or to head to Turin and play for Juventus, he’s a player lauded for tactical acumen and a rich understanding of the game in front of him.

Over the years at Anfield, he’s gone through extensive ups and down, often caused by managerial misuse under Brendan Rodgers or injury latterly under Jürgen Klopp. However, the big German has often laid the foundations for his uniquely balanced skill-set to thrive, having long been a player who can break down defences with long range shooting, or impose himself on big games.

His ability to read the ball and play in several midfield roles makes him the kind of player that any modern manager would love to work with. Limitless stamina, endless capacity to improve and a never-say-die attitude has helped Can maintain his position as one of the most interesting young midfield talents in the Premier League at present.

Although he may yet move on come the summer of 2018 when his contract expires, it’s safe to say that for the last three seasons Can has regularly been an impressive performer at European level.

While the name of Nigerian midfield star Wilfried Ndidi may not be widely known, it will be in time. Seen as a key cog in the Leicester midfield already at the age of 21, the languid midfield controller has quickly established himself as one of the most interesting players in the division to watch.

With a fine blend of athleticism, tactical awareness and technical expertise, Ndidi has shown up as among the best players in the Leicester side under Claude Puel. Already, rumours are circulating that his stay in the Midlands will be cut short, with a move to one of the Premier League leading lights now on the agenda.

While not a regular goal scorer, his tactical expertise and his ability to win aerial duels and ground tackles makes him an excellent performer for counter-attacking sides. Although passing performance could improve, he’s by far young enough to improve even further technically.

Having moved to Leicester for £17m from Belgian outfit Genk following impressive European performances and a stunning brace against Belgian giants Anderlecht, Ndidi has quickly become one of the most competent and consistent performers in the Premier League on a regular basis.

Indeed, his battling performances at home to the likes of Liverpool have helped him to settle into the Premier League and catch the eye of many interested parties. While goals may never be a regular part of his game, his consistency and mental awareness of the full picture developing across the pitch more than makes up for a lack of goals.

Still so young, too, the sky is the limit for one of the most interesting performers in the Premier League. He looks set to burst onto the scene and stay there for a long time to come, such is his potential at this level.

Liverpool come back to England after the back of a 4-1 win in Belgium; their first away win in the Champions League for around two years. Tottenham Hotspur, meanwhile, ended their recent performative rot with a 5-0 shellacking of a Red Star Belgrade side that looked utterly lost during the match. With Liverpool set to play one of their most historically exciting fixtures after a tough away game, can they get back to winning ways in the league and go back to leading the title charge?

Liverpool looked really exciting but somewhat lopsided when they played Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita in midfield in Belgium. However, the Reds have lacked fluency in midfield from time for much of 2019 – this new midfield trio, with Fabinho screening the defence, could change that pretty soon.

The Reds come into this in otherwise imperious form, even if performances are lacking somewhat. Expect the usual front three, with one of Jordan Henderson or Gini Wijnaldum set to come into the midfield ahead of Oxlade-Chamberlain or Keita.

Tottenham News

Having finally found their feet once again, Spurs have started to see more players coming back from injury. Both Juan Foyth and Giovani Lo Celso are both fit once again, and both could take part in this game at Anfield. However, the loss of Hugo Lloris means that Spurs will need their number two to be in fine form for this one.

Expect Spurs to go with Tanguy Ndombele and Moussa Sissoko in midfield alongside Harry Winks. They’ll want to go for power and precision to try and kill off the Liverpool press.

Verdict

Liverpool win. The first chance for Spurs to get revenge for the 2019 UEFA Champions League final should end in defeat. They are improving, but a poor record at Anfield and the imperious form held by Liverpool at home means that we cannot see beyond a Liverpool win.
