As the Premier League roars on toward its conclusion, this weekend also brings the small matter of 2015’s first Cup Final to feast upon. Enhancing the excitement of the big games with a few wagers is an age old practice, and we’re here to give you the ins and outs of where the money is hiding this weekend.

Chelsea v Tottenham Hotspur

Two London sides will grace Wembley for this year’s Capital One Cup final, with league leaders Chelsea being clear favourites – best priced at 8/11 to win in 90 minutes with SkyBet. To bet that the game will go to extra time is available at 11/4 with SkyBet and a Tottenham win can be found at 4/1 with Bet365, with whom you can take advantage of up to a £200 matched deposit bonus.

We are tipping Diego Costa in the First Goalscorer market. Spurs have looked shaky in defence, especially when Fazio is playing, and we think the Spaniard is likely to be able to pounce on a naïve Spurs back line. To place this bet, we are taking advantage of BetFred’s double and triple payout offers if Costa scores two or three goals. The initial price for first goalscorer is 3/1, which then raises to 6/1 and 9/1 if he scores two and three goals in the match! 

Premier League tips

Outside of the Cup Final, there are a number of tasty fixtures in the Premier League this weekend. For these games, Howtobet4free’s handy bet calculator will be able to give you immediate odds on any accumulators you wish to place. 

The biggest game of the weekend comes in the form of Liverpool v Manchester City. Liverpool are certainly the more in form of the two sides and backing Liverpool at home suddenly becomes a very attractive idea. Priced at 15/8 with William Hill looks like a great price to us. If you bet £10 you can get 2 x £10 Free Bets with William Hill.

However, the real value in this game comes in the total goals market. In big games, Liverpool under Rodgers have been involved in a number of high scoring ties, and Manchester City have scored 9 in their last two Premier League outings. Betting on over 3.5 total match goals at 21/10 with BetVictor seems an attractive option, and taking advantage of their £25 matched free bet just about seals the deal.

The Arsenal v Everton fixture has lost some of its stature this year with 12^th placed Everton’s poor league form, but the game will still offer some excitement. Arsenal are best priced at 4/7 with PaddyPower to win this tie with Everton strong outsiders, priced at 5/1 with bet365. To boost the value of an Arsenal win, we are betting in the half time/full time markets, betting that Arsenal will be leading in both. In Arsenal last four wins, they have also been winning at half time, so taking an Arsenal/Arsenal win at 5/4 with SkyBet seems an absolute no brainer!
