The final round of Premier League fixtures of 2017 is upon us and Manchester City have reached this stage of the season still unbeaten. Pep Guardiola’s side have now won a crazy 18 games in a row and they look unstoppable right now. In this article, I will be taking a look at the Premier League fixtures from this coming weekend and building a 4-fold bet for you to take advantage of.
Bournemouth v Everton
I think the bookies have got the odds wrong on this one; they have priced Bournemouth up as the favourites despite The Cherries going nine games without a win in the Premier League. On Saturday they welcome a resurgent Everton side to Dean Court, with Sam Allardyce unbeaten in his first eight games in charge of The Toffees. I’m backing Everton to pick up another win in this game and heap the pressure on Eddie Howe. Wayne Rooney will return to the Everton side for this game after missing the last two matches with a virus and the former England captain will be looking to continue his fine recent form.

Watford v Swansea City
Swansea City appointed Carlos Carvalhal as their new boss this week in a slightly surprise managerial appointment. Carvalhal was recently sacked as manager of Championship side Sheffield Wednesday and it seems a little bizarre that Swansea would move for him. The Swans are currently rooted to the bottom of the table and I’m backing their problems to continue on Saturday. Watford have fallen away pretty badly after a strong start to the season, but they ended a run of six games without a win last time out and I think they’ll have too much quality for Swansea in this one.

Huddersfield Town v Burnley
Both of these sides are performing above expectations with Huddersfield Town sitting comfortably in mid-table, whilst Burnley are up in 7th place. Burnley are without a win in their last three matches though and this one has draw written all over it to me. Huddersfield Town have been solid at home this season, losing just three of their first ten matches and I’m expecting both sides to line up pretty defensively in this one, therefore, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see the game end 0-0.

Liverpool v Leicester City
We could be in for an exciting game at Anfield on Saturday; Liverpool have scored 12 goals in their last three matches, whilst Leicester City have turned in impressive performances against Manchester City and Manchester United recently. I’m backing Liverpool to win this game, but I do think that Leicester City could cause them plenty of problems on the counter attack. In the likes of Philipe Coutinho, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, Liverpool have too much quality not to score goals and I think they’ll grab a couple more here.
