We once again went 2/3 on our picks last week and secured a very tidy +550 prop thanks to West Ham! Will we be with The Hammers again this week? Find out below!
Manchester City vs West Ham
Saturday, February 27th, 7:30am (ET)
Spoiler alert: sadly, we won’t be with West Ham here. They have been good to us over the last few weeks from a betting perspective and are well and truly in the fight for a Champions League spot, but they’re running into the absolute juggernaut that is Manchester City.
City is aiming to complete a rare quadruple (winning the Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup, and Champions League) according to Bernardo Silva, and in their current form, why not?
They have won 8 and drawn 2 of their last 10 games against West Ham, and have conceded a paltry three goals in their last 15 home games in the Premier League, and are also putting on a show in the attacking half:

It literally doesn't get any better than this. All Bernardo Silva had to do was get his head onto it!

As good as West Ham have been, you would be brave to bet against Manchester City at the moment… and in this case, brave we are not!
EPL Prediction: Manchester City -455
Best Prop: Manchester City to Win to Nil +100
Leicester City vs Arsenal
Sunday, February 28th, 7:00am (ET)
It was a mixed bag for these sides in the Europa League during the week, with Arsenal securing a spectacular comeback to win and advance against Benfica, whereas Leicester lost 0-2 at home to Slavia Praha.
The Foxes will be stinging after that result and can channel all of their focus into the Premier League, where they are sitting pretty in third, though they may be without star man James Maddison, who is sidelined with a hip complaint.
This is a big blow for them, with the Englishman bagging 8 goals and 5 assists so far this campaign, as well as being the main creative hub for The Foxes.
Arsenal can take some confidence from their midweek Europa League theatrics, and may just do enough to sneak a draw away from home with their group of developing youngsters.

The Gunners have a poor record at The King Power, but did beat Leicester here earlier this season in the League Cup, we think they will do enough to share the points this time around.
EPL Prediction: Draw +225
Best Prop: When Will the First Goal Be Scored – 2nd Half – +250
Chelsea vs Manchester United
Sunday, 28th February, 11:30am (ET)
An absolute cracker of a contest here, with 5th placed Chelsea playing host to 2nd placed Manchester United at Stamford Bridge.
These two don’t like each other, and both sides have been travelling well in the league, with Chelsea looking resurgent under new boss Thomas Tuchel.
The Red Devils have had some recent success at Stamford Bridge, with a 2-0 victory here last season, as well as wins in both cup competitions in 2019

United’s Bruno Fernandes has continued his hot run of form, with the Portuguese number ten second in the league for goals (15), as well as second in the league for assists (10), and the Red Devils will be banking on another stellar performance to snag a victory away from home in this one.
EPL Prediction: Manchester United +225
Best Prop: Any Time Goalscorer, Marcus Rashford +290
