Your Soccer Kings guide to Sunday’s English action
Only two Premier League fixtures on the card, but both are high-stakes — with Leeds hosting Aston Villa and a massive North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham to close the weekend. Here’s how they shape up for punters and pool players.
Leeds United vs Aston Villa — 16:00
Leeds are fearless at Elland Road and often push forward aggressively, but Villa have been more clinical under Emery. The visitors carry greater balance and attacking depth.
Betting guide: Aston Villa slight favourites; include draw for safety.
Pool tip: Aston Villa / Draw.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur — 18:30
The North London derby rarely disappoints. Arsenal’s midfield control and home advantage make them favourites, though Spurs’ counter-attacking pace can punish any lapse.
Betting guide: Arsenal to win narrowly in a high-tempo clash.
Pool tip: Arsenal.
Top 3 Value Angles
