Opta Bet Builder | MD5: Newcastle besieged as The Clarets fall flat

AFTER the excitement and glamour of this week’s European clashes we return to the bread and butter of domestic football, with glitzy games aplenty! The Merseyside Derby kicks things off with a lunchtime thriller. After serving up yet another last-gasp winner against Atleti, will we witness another late finale from Liverpool? Spurs will hope for some capital gains at the Amex, while Arsenal will be hoping to keep the Norwegian Nightmare quiet after Haaland continued his scoring run against Napoli midweek.

The guys from OPTA are back, scouring their records and using their incredible database of match facts and stats to determine the best bets from a selection of this weekend’s Premier League games.
