West Ham United return to Premier League action this weekend when they host Wolves on Saturday evening.

Exactly 100 days had passed since a ball was last kicked in the Premier League before Aston Villa and Sheffield United’s stalemate on Wednesday evening. This weekend presents the rest of the Premier League pack with an opportunity to return to action.

Prior to the Premier League’s stoppage, West Ham found themselves well and truly in the thick of a relegation battle, with only two points separating the Hammers and the dreaded drop zone. David Moyes’ side had won one of nine matches in the league, losing six and drawing the other two. Their last win came at the end of February when they beat Southampton 3-1.

Wolves on the other hand are aiming to go one better than last season where they secured Europe League football in their first season back in the Premier League for seven years. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side find themselves 6th, and 5 points off Chelsea who occupy 4th place. Wolves were unbeaten in five before the leagues stoppage.

It was Wolves who came out on top in this fixture back in December with a 2-0 victory at Molineux. Wolves have won each of their three encounters in this fixture since their return to England’s top-flight. West Ham’s last win in this fixture came back in January 2016.

Anthony Taylor is the man in the middle for this one. The 41-year old has appeared 24 times in the Premier League this season, accumulating a total of 102 yellow cards and 5 red cards. This averages at just over four yellow cards per game.

West Ham’s Aaron Cresswell has been yellow carded in two of his last three appearances against Wolves in the Premier League and is priced at 9/4 on SkyBet to be booked in this one.

This match will be televised live on Sky Sports Main Event/Premier League with kick-off scheduled to take place at 17:30.

Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace
Saturday 20th June 2020
Premier League, Vitality Stadium

Live on BBC One HD – Kick Off: 19:45 BST

Bournemouth will host Crystal Palace in Premier League action this Saturday evening as both clubs make their return to the pitch from the coronavirus pandemic.

The Cherries are in dire need for some points, as they currently sit 18th in the league standings, fighting for their Premier League status. Meanwhile, Palace are in a comfortable mid-table position – with a late push for a Europa League spot potentially on the cards.

Bournemouth are priced at 6/4 to win the match by SkyBet and return with a crucial three points in their survival bid. Eddie Howe’s side have endured a tough season and have just three wins from their last 18 Premier League matches. There is still hope for them, with the points all very tight down the bottom of the table and their home form before the lockdown was not terrible.

In attack, Callum Wilson will be their biggest threat with his eight goals so far this season. He is priced at 15/8 to add to his tally on Saturday evening.

Crystal Palace are priced at 15/8 to win the match and continue their positive form from before the enforced break. Roy Hodgson’s side have gone steady throughout the campaign, not producing anything too spectacular but ensuring their safety for another season. They had claimed three 1-0 wins in their last league matches and will feel confident as they return against relegation-threatened Bournemouth.

Going forward, Jordan Ayew has found his feet in the team and is priced at 21/10 to score anytime and add to his eight goals this term.

Last time these two met, Jeffery Schlupp scored the only goal of the game as a 10-man Palace grinded out a tight 1-0 win. Sparks flew throughout the match as 85 booking points were brandished at Selhurst Park. SkyBet are offering 11/10 for 50+ booking points to be awarded this time around.

The match will be televised on BBC One and kicks off at 19:45.

Prediction: Bournemouth 1-1 Crystal Palace

– This match will be tight as both sides will be rusty after the long break from action. Tough to pick a winner.

The Championship, The Hawthorns

Live on Sky Sports Football HD – Kick Off: 15:00 BST

The Championship is back this weekend as West Bromwich host midlands rivals Birmingham City this Saturday afternoon.

West Brom are hoping to clinch automatic promotion back to the Premier League, as they currently sit second – one point behind league leaders Leeds. Meanwhile, Birmingham are fighting away in mid-table after some poor form before the lockdown enforced by the coronavirus pandemic.

West Bromwich Albion are favourites for this match and are priced at 4/7 to win by SkyBet. Whilst their league position makes for great reading, their form before the lockdown was not ideal for the Baggies – who were winless in three matches across all competitions. However, on their day they have embarrassed teams and have the joint top goals scored in the league.

In attack, Hal Robson-Kanu has provided the most goals with ten for the season so far. He is priced at 11/10 to score anytime.

Birmingham City have a tough task ahead of them on their return to the league and are priced at 17/4 to claim a shock away victory. The Blues have had a rather up-and-down season, with their performances before the enforced break taking a dive. They are without a win in six matches but have proved to be difficult to beat with four of those matches ending in a draw.

Going forward, Scott Hogan has been on the club’s brightest stars with 10 goals this term. He is priced at 9/4 to add to his tally on Saturday.

Last time these two met, a late Charlie Austin double at St Andrews secured a 3-2 victory for the Baggies in one of the matches of the season. 40 booking points were brandished and SkyBet are offering 4/5 for another 40 booking points to be awarded during this fixture.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 15:00 BST.

Prediction: West Bromwich Albion 3-1 Birmingham City

– The hosts have far too much quality all over the pitch and should have no trouble dispatching their opponents.

Brighton vs Arsenal
Saturday 20th June 2020
Premier League – The Amex Stadium

Live on BT Sport 1/Ultimate – Kick-off: 15:00PM

Brighton return to the Amex Stadium this weekend as they host Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Exactly 100 days had passed since a ball was last kicked in the Premier League before Aston Villa and Sheffield United’s stalemate on Wednesday evening. This weekend presents the rest of the Premier League pack with an opportunity to return to action.

To say Brighton need a Premier League win is an understatement. Graham Potter’s side are yet to win in the league this year, a winless run which consists of ten matches in all competitions. The seagulls currently sit 15th in the league, two points above the relegation zone.

Before the league’s stoppage Arsenal were unbeaten in their last nine, and yet to lose in the Premier League in 2020.

However, their return to Premier League action on Wednesday night was a disappointment, and if you’re David Luiz, it was a disaster. Mikel Arteta’s side were beaten 3-0 by the Champions, and Luiz’s contribution was a car crash to say the least.  In the 25 minutes that the Brazilian was on the field he managed to gift City the lead, concede a penalty, and get himself sent off.

Brighton shocked the Gunners back in December with a 2-1 win at the Emirates, their first win over Arsenal since 2017, and only their second in over 40 years. Arsenal’s recent form against the Seagulls is poor; they have failed to win in each of their last four encounters against this weekend’s opposition.

In eight of the last nine meetings in this fixture BTTS has landed. SkyBet are offering odds of 4/6 for both teams to find the back of the net on Saturday afternoon.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored in three of his last four appearances against Brighton and is priced at 23/20 to make it four in five this weekend on SkyBet.

The referee for this clash is Martin Atkinson. The 49-year old has taken charge of 25 Premier League matches this season, accumulating a total of 72 yellow cards and 3 red cards.

Arsenal’s Sokratis Papastathopolous has been yellow carded in his last two consecutive appearances against Brighton and is priced at 21/20 to be carded in this one.

Brighton vs Arsenal will be televised live on BT Sport 1/Ultimate, with kick-off scheduled for 15:00 BST on Saturday afternoon.

SkyBet Championship – Craven Cottage
Live on Sky Sports Main event – Kick-off: 12:30PM

The SkyBet Championship returns this weekend and Fulham are back in action at Craven Cottage on Saturday lunchtime when they host Brentford.

Prior to the seasons stoppage due to the coronavirus, both sides were battling at the top end of the division with all eyes on securing promotion to the Premier League. Fulham sit 3rd, four points and one place ahead of Brentford.

Scott Parker’s side have lost only twice in the Championship this year and hadn’t been beaten in their five meetings before the break. Brentford, similarly, were in fine form and had lost only one of their last eight encounters.

These two sides met back in December and Brentford came away with all three points with a 1-0 win. Bryan Mbueno struck the winner for the Bees, and the Englishman is priced at 2/1 on SkyBet to score anytime.

In the last four meetings in this fixture, both sides have won twice apiece. BTTS has landed in three of the last four encounters and is priced at 8/11 on SkyBet.

The man in charge of this one is James Linnington. The Englishman has appeared 20 times in the Championship so far this season, accumulating a total of 56 yellow cards and 3 red cards. This considered, I would recommend a minimum of 30+ booking points for this fixture. Two yellow cards were issued back in December’s meeting between these two.

Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic is the top scorer in the division with 23 goals. The Serbian failed to score in the two games before the Championship’s stoppage. He is priced 7/5 on SkyBet to score anytime this weekend. Furthermore, the man who sits second in the Championship goalscoring chart, Brentford’s Ollie Watkins, is priced at 13/8 to find the back of the net on Saturday afternoon.

Fulham vs Brentford will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event, with kick-off scheduled to take place at 12:30PM on Saturday lunchtime.

Watford vs Leicester City
Saturday 20th June 2020
Premier League – Vicarage Road

Live on BT Sport 1/Ultimate – Kick-off: 12:30PM

The Premier League returns this weekend and Watford are back in action on Saturday afternoon when they host Leicester City.

Exactly 100 days had passed since a ball was last kicked in the Premier League before Aston Villa and Sheffield United’s stalemate on Wednesday evening. This weekend presents the rest of the Premier League pack with an opportunity to return to action.

Before the league’s stoppage, Watford had lifted themselves out of the relegation zone and up to 17th, with all attention on surviving the dreaded drop. Nigel Pearson’s side had won one of their last eight in all competitions, the 3-0 triumph over runaway leaders Liverpool. Before that, their last win came in January.

Leicester meanwhile were battling at the opposite end of the table and striving to secure Champions League football for next season. With 2nd placed Manchester City currently suspended from competing in the competition next year, the Foxes find themselves on course to secure European football for the second time in the last five seasons. Brendan Rodgers’ side had lost two of their last three in the Premier League before the break. A winning return is exactly what his side will be targeting.

These two sides met back in December where Leicester ran out 2-0 winners thanks to goals from Jamie Vardy and James Maddison. Jamie Vardy has scored in his last four consecutive appearances against the Hornets and is priced at 21/20 to score anytime on SkyBet.

Leicester have won three of the last four meetings between these two sides and come into Saturday’s fixture priced at 21/20 on SkyBet. In each of the last four meetings between these two, the home side has scored two goals. Watford are priced at 15/8 to score 2+ goals.

Craig Pawson is in charge for this one and the 41-year-old has awarded 63 yellow cards in 15 Premier League appearances this season, an average of over four cards per game.

Watford’s Abdoulaye Doucoure has been yellow carded in his last two appearances in this fixture and is the Hornet’s most booked player this season. The Frenchman is priced at 5/2 to be carded in 90 minutes on SkyBet.

Watford vs Leicester City will be televised live in the UK on BT Sport 1.

Tottenham vs Manchester United
Friday 19th June 2020
Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Premier League HD – Kick Off: 20:15 BST

Tottenham host Manchester United on Friday night as two Premier League heavyweights take to the pitch for the first time since March.

Before the enforced break due to the coronavirus pandemic, the clubs were in very different form. Tottenham were without a victory in their last six matches from all competitions, losing five and getting a 1-1 draw against Burnley. Meanwhile, United were well in their stride having gone eleven matches unbeaten and triumphing 2-0 over their rivals Manchester City.

Tottenham are priced at 19/10 to win the match by SkyBet and turn their torrid form pre-lockdown around. Jose Mourinho’s side will want to return in style as they currently sit eighth, four points behind United in fifth. Defence has caused the most issues for Spurs, as they have conceded 40 goals from 29 matches – the most in the top half.

In attack, they will look to star striker Harry Kane to make the difference as he currently has eleven goals this term. He is priced at 13/8 to score anytime.

Manchester United are priced at 7/5 to win the match and continue from how they left off with a string of impressive results. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are all fighting fit as all of their stars have returned from injury during lockdown. Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford are both ready for action, to allow the United boss to field a full-strength squad.

Going forward, Bruno Fernandes has been in inspired form this season and is priced at 11/1 to score outside the area.

Last time these two met, a Marcus Rashford brace cancelled out Dele Alli’s goal at Old Trafford as Solskjaer got a one-up on former Red Devils boss Mourinho. Only one card was shown in the whole match. However, players are returning rather rusty with a lot riding on the result. SkyBet are offering 11/8 for 60+ booking points.

Tottenham vs Manchester United will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League HD and kicks off at 20:15.

Prediction: Tottenham 1-1 Manchester United

– It’s tough to split these two sides, who will not be at full match fitness just yet.

Premier League, Etihad Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Premier League HD – Kick Off: 20:15 BST

After a long wait, the Premier League is back in action on Wednesday night with a heavyweight battle as Manchester City host Arsenal.

Second-placed City have no hope in defending their Premier League title upon the league’s return but will be hoping to cement a top two finish with Leicester City not far off. Meanwhile, Arsenal trail the Champions League qualification spots by eight points and manager Mikel Arteta has his work cut out for him in the push for top four.

Manchester City are favourites for this Premier League restart curtain raiser and are priced at 1/3 to win the match by SkyBet. Pep Guardiola’s side were in good form before the league was suspended due to coronavirus. Despite a crushing 2-0 defeat to their rivals Manchester United, in most parts City looked like the dangerous, free-scoring team that has demolished plenty of league oppositions in the past. They have a great history against Arsenal, with six straight victories in all competitions. Albeit, this will be their first competitive match behind closed doors.

Going forward, Sergio Aguero will be a man on a mission to return with a bang. He already has 16 goals this season and is priced at 12/5 to open the scoring.

Arsenal are underdogs for this match-up and are priced at 7/1 to claim a shock away victory. The Gunners have endured a pretty torrid season by their standards, as they restart the league in ninth position. They face one of their toughest tests of the season, and a recent 3-2 defeat to Championship side Brentford will not help their confidence.

In attack, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been one of the team’s shining stars and has 17 goals this season. He is price boosted at 9/4 to score anytime by SkyBet.

Last time these two met, City put on a first half rout as they comfortably beat the Gunners 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium. Kevin de Bruyne scored a brace as Raheem Sterling also got on the scoresheet and 50 booking points were awarded. With players potentially being rusty in their first match back, SkyBet are offering 11/8 for 50+ booking points again.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Premier League HD and kicks off at 20:15.

Live on BT Sport 1 HD – Kick Off: 17:00 BST

Schalke will host top four hopefuls Bayer Leverkusen in Bundesliga action this Sunday afternoon.

The hosts have been in horrendous form ever since the Bundesliga’s restart from the coronavirus pandemic with four losses and one draw. Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen have impressed but are lacking some consistency as they put the chase on Borussia Monchengladbach and RB Leipzig for a top four finish.

Schalke are heavy underdogs for this match despite having home advantage and are priced at 5/1 to win the match by SkyBet. David Wagner’s side must become more clinical in attack, after they have scored just three goals in their five matches since their return. Their home form is also poor, with four losses from their last five. With Leverkusen’s fast-paced, creative attack, Schalke will be in for a tough afternoon.

In attack, Benito Raman has been one of the only bright stars in the Schalke set-up and is priced at 10/3 to score anytime.

Bayer Leverkusen are favourites for this match up and are priced at 8/15 to claim an away victory. The visitors will fancy their chances against Schake after their 3-0 victory over Saarbrucken in the DFB-Pokal semi-final. Their away form is excellent, with five straight victories on the road against more in-form opposition than their Sunday opponents.

Going forward, Chelsea target Kai Havertz has been in inspired form this season with 11 goals and five assists. He is priced at 23/20 to score anytime.

Last time these two met, 40 booking points were brandished as Leverkusen came out 2-1 victors at the BayArena. SkyBet are offering 5/4 for 50+ booking points.

The match will be televised on BT Sport 1 HD and kicks off at 17:00.

Bundesliga – Opel Arena

Live on BT Sport 1 – Kick-off: 14:30 BST

Mainz FSV return to the Opel Arena this weekend when they host Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Sunday afternoon.

Its tight towards the bottom of the table, and only one point and two places separate these two sides ahead of kick off. The hosts Mainz boosted their bid to avoid relegation last weekend with a terrific 2-0 win away to Eintracht Frankfurt; their first win since the Bundesliga’s resumption. This weekend’s opponents Augsburg played out a 1-1 home draw against FC Koln.

Mainz find themselves in 13th place, four points above the relegation play-off position. Last weekend’s win was much needed, it was their first in five matches. Augsburg have struggled since the return of the Bundesliga, winning only once in five attempts.

The reverse fixture ended in a 2-1 home win for Augsburg and a similar result this time round would be just what they need to regain some stability to their season. Four yellow cards were brandished in December’s encounter, two for each side and SkyBet are offering odds of 4/7 for 40+ booking points in this one.

Augsburg have the much superior record in this fixture and have won the last four consecutive meetings. Of these encounters, BTTS has landed in three of four and is priced at 4/7 on SkyBet for this weekend.

Mainz FSV’s Pierre Kunde has scores two goals in his last four encounters. The Cameroonian is priced at 4/1 to score anytime on Sunday afternoon.

Florian Niederlechner struck the winner for Augsburg in this fixture back in December, he is priced at 15/8 to score once again this weekend.

Mainz FSV’s Leandro Barreiro has been yellow carded in each of his last two Bundesliga appearances. The Luxembourgian is priced at 2/1 to be carded in this weekends clash.
