Premier League Matchday 32 July 2 Betting Preview

Sheffield United vs Tottenham 

Time: 1:00 PM EST 

Odds: Sheffield United +370, Draw +270, Tottenham -135

Last Game: Tottenham 1 : 1 Sheffield United 

Watch: NBCSN

Sheffield United come into this game following a 3-0 away loss to Manchester United last week.  Sheffield have slid to 8th and are now five points out of a European spot.  John Lundstram will miss this one after picking up an injury in the FA Cup match over the weekend while Jack O’Connell’s status remains in doubt.

Tottenham enter this match on the heels of a 2-0 home win over West Ham.  Tottenham now sit in 7th and sit four points back of a european spot.  Jose Mourinho looks to have a full roster at his disposal for this one.

Sheffield United have been below average at home, where they rank 12th, and are allowing the 4th fewest goals against but scoring the 4th fewest at home.  Spurs have struggled away and have just the 12th best away record in the Premier League, scoring the 7th most and allowing the 9th most against.  These sides have only met twice at Bramall Lane since 2007 with a win for the home side and a draw as results.  These sides are as evenly matched as their standings would suggest and a low scoring draw looks the most likely outcome in this match.

Manchester City vs Liverpool 

Time: 3:15 PM EST 

Odds: Manchester City -115, Draw +280, Liverpool +280

Last Game: Liverpool 3 : 1 Manchester City 

Watch: NBCSN

Manchester City come into this match following a 2-1 away loss to Chelsea.  City remain in 2nd,  where they will likely finish the season, with an eight point gap on 3rd place Leicester.  Fernandinho will miss this match with a suspension, Sergio Agüero has been ruled out for the rest of the year and Eric García is doubtful with a head injury.

Liverpool enter this match following a title clinching 4-0 home win over Crystal Palace.  Liverpool officially clinched their first league title in 30 years following City’s loss to Chelsea last game week.  Xherdan Shaqiri and James Milner have been ruled out while Joel Matip is listed as doubtful.

Manchester City have been excellent at home where they have the 2nd best record in the Premier League.  City have been strong in both offense, where they have scored the 2nd most goals, and defense, where they have allowed the fewest goals against, at home this campaign.  Liverpool have been excellent away, and with only a single loss all year have the leagues best record away from home.  Liverpool are scoring the 4th most goals but allowing the fewest against away.  Liverpool have done well in recent visits to the Etihad, with the away side picking up three wins and a draw in their last six trips.  Liverpool have already locked up the title, but without any cup or European action to look forward to the visitors will likely be focused on setting as many records as they can over the final stretch of the season.  City on the other hand have publicly stated their focus is now on the FA Cup and Champions League.  City will have had a shorter rest after facing Newcastle earlier in the week, but that shouldn’t slow them down too much here.  Neither side has a clear edge here and a draw looks the most likely outcome.
