Arsenal vs Luton | December 5 | 3:15pm ET

Arsenal -480 | Luton +1240 | Draw +585

Top-of-the-table Arsenal looks to extend their lead on Tuesday night as they travel over to Kenilworth Road to take on a dogged Luton side just north of London.

Luton finally look to be making strides in the Premier League, especially on home soil, securing their first win of the season here just two weeks ago against Crystal Palace, and continue to be live in games as well, drawing against Liverpool in this venue in the game immediately prior that Crystal Palace result also.

For Arsenal, they carried on winning ways over the weekend with a competitive 2-1 win over Wolves, a result that followed on from a 6-0 demolition against French side Lens in the Champions League just a few days prior.

However, despite where both teams currently sit in the table, this is a handicap line Arsenal have covered just once on the road all season against a hapless Bournemouth side who were in the midst of their worst run of the season so far, so repeating that feat here against a Luton side who are continuing to find form in the league might prove a lot trickier.

Luton conversely have seen all of their three losses at home this season come by the minimum of one goal, and manager Rob Edwards will also be buoyed by the fact that Luton’s eight goals conceded at home this year is the 5th best mark in the league overall.

Arsenal definitely has the ability to rack up the scoreline here should they so choose, but that just hasn’t been the case for them this season as they’ve often been content to just get over the line in games, and we see more of the same happening on Tuesday as they face a determined Luton side on home soil.

Premier League Prediction: Luton +1.75 (+100)

Manchester City vs Aston Villa | December 6 | 3:15pm ET

Manchester City -135 | Aston Villa +325 | Draw +320

Manchester City threw away yet another crucial lead at the weekend against Tottenham, a side that kept pouring forward on City leading to a highly entertaining 3-3 draw for the neutral fan, but a result that manager Pep Guardiola will no doubt be sorely disappointed by considering that’s the third straight Premier League game in which his side has given up the lead in.

For Aston Villa, it’s all about returning to a venue where they’ve been perfect this season, generating a maximum of 18 points from their six games played at Villa Park so far.

Those wins however did come against the mid-lower lights in the Premier League, namely Everton, Crystal Palace, West Ham, Luton, and Fulham, with really their only solid test of the season so far coming against a faltering Brighton side who currently find themselves 8th in the table overall.

That could prove key here as despite their recent mishaps in the league, Manchester City is certainly not one of those mid-lower lights, and will be absolutely chomping at the bit to get back to winning ways here on Wednesday against Aston Villa.

However, while we lean to City from a side perspective in this one, the better play may be on the Over 3.25 goals at just over even money.

Aston Villa currently owns the league’s #1 scoring offense at home this season, while Manchester City ranks #2 in that same category on the road, as well as owning the league’s #1 offensive xG rating away from home also.

Take Over 3.25 goals on Wednesday night in the EPL matchup between Manchester City and Aston Villa.

Premier League Prediction: Over 3.25 (-105)

West Ham vs Tottenham | December 7 | 3:15pm ET

West Ham +300 | Tottenham -125 | Draw +320

Big London derby on Thursday night as West Ham travels the short distance north-west to take on Spurs at Tottenham Stadium.

Tottenham enters this game off the back of a dramatic 3-3 shootout on Sunday against title favorites Manchester City, a highly impressive result considering the number of absences Spurs have in their lineup right now.

For West Ham, they’ve had a much harder time of it of late, going on a sizeable winless run across various competitions throughout October before rebounding with two wins from their last three Premier League games overall.

However, those wins came against relegation-battling Nottingham Forest and Burnley, with the Hammers looking far from convincing in either game. A less-than-impressive draw at home against Crystal Palace followed at the weekend with even West Ham fans now starting to question the team’s performances across recent matchups.

Those performances for West Ham aside, they should nonetheless prove a tough out for Tottenham on Thursday, a team that have been vastly overperforming their data this season, while West Ham have actually played better away from home.

With this being a derby game on top and Spurs still short-handed, look for West Ham to potentially grind out a result in North London on Thursday and spoil the party.

Premier League Prediction: Draw (+320)
