Please share your thoughts on our choices in the comments section.
Premier League Best Bets
Arsenal vs Chelsea
After a disappointing draw against Wolves, Arsenal bounced back in style, beating their bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur 4-1. The Gunners are currently five points clear of Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
Chelsea are currently fifth in the Premier League and unbeaten in five league games. However, they have blown leads and lost points against Leeds United and Burnley, showing their defensive frailties. Chelsea will need to be at their very best to trouble the league leaders.

Taking all that into account, we are expecting an improved Chelsea performance, but our best bet is Arsenal to win to nil, priced at 7/4 with Bet365.
Manchester United vs Crystal Palace
Manchester United’s form under Michael Carrick has been impressive, with four wins and one draw in their last five league games. Last time out, they had to survive some difficult moments to narrowly beat Everton 1-0, showing their ability to grind out results. They seem to have improved defensively and on the attacking side.

Crystal Palace enjoyed a dream start to this season, but have found things difficult, with manager Oliver Glasner speaking out negatively against the club for selling Marc Guehi and not backing him sufficiently. Looking at all these factors, it’s difficult to see anything other than a Manchester United win.
Our best bet for this game is the Half Time/Full Time bet, with us backing the Draw/Manchester United selection at 7/2 with Coral.
Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur
Our final game on Sunday, in our best bets for March 1, is Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur. Fulham have enjoyed a solid season and currently find themselves 10th in the league, but have lost three out of their last five Premier League games. At their best, they have shown they can mix with the elite teams in the league.
Tottenham are in trouble, four points above the relegation zone. They have shown zero fight since battling to gain a 2-2 draw against Manchester City. Igor Tudor has a tough job to steady the Spurs’ ship, but he does have the players. Tottenham will be eager to improve greatly on their 4-1 hammering against Arsenal.
Our best bet for this game is selecting the 1-1 scoreline as the correct score at 6/1 with Sky Bet.
