The Premier League is delivering some mouth-watering ties again this weekend as the title race and the battle for European places heat up.

Manchester City host Liverpool in the clash of the top two, with the sides separated by just two points heading into Sunday's encounter at Etihad Stadium.

Meanwhile, Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester United and West Ham are all under pressure as they look to maintain their push for a place in the top four.

Here, GOAL looks at the top betting picks for this weekend's matches in the English top-flight.

The headline clash between the Premier League's top two teams is expected to be as tight as the gap between them in the table.

Only one point separates the two heavyweights heading into the clash at Etihad Stadium and it is hard to pick a winner for this one.

Liverpool are the team in better form approaching Sunday's match, having failed to win just one of their last 18 games in all competitions.

City, meanwhile, were held to draws by Crystal Palace and Sporting CP, while Tottenham beat them 3-2 at home in February.

That run has given Liverpool a way back into the title race and both teams must be nervous for Sunday's game.

The last time these teams met they played out a thrilling 2-2 draw at Anfield, and once again it might be worth backing over 2.5 goals when they go head-to-head this time.

Everton odds

Manchester United have been woefully inconsistent of late.

Ralf Rangnick's team have won only one of their last six matches in all competitions.

That run has seen them knocked out of the Champions League and lose ground in the battle for a place in the top four.

The pressure is on the Red Devils to pick themselves up and a clash with Everton may be the perfect match to boost their confidence.

The Toffees, after all, are in a dire situation and drifting closer to the relegation zone.

They have lost five of their last six matches and were bested in midweek by Burnley, who sat second bottom of the table before the game at Turf Moor.

With Everton in such disastrous form and Cristiano Ronaldo back in contention to start for the visitors, backing United to win the game at odds of -134 looks a smart bet.

Arsenal odds

-163

Brighton odds

+475

Draw odds

+280

Over/under 2.5 goals

+100/-134

Arsenal lost their hold on fourth place this week when they suffered a 3-0 humbling at the hands of Crystal Palace on Monday.

The Gunners are now level on points with Tottenham, but their north London rivals have the advantage due to goal difference.

With Manchester United and West Ham just three points behind, Mikel Arteta's men cannot afford to slip up again if they are to stay in the fight for a place in next season's Champions League.

They may be fortunate to come up against Brighton this week, then.

The visitors have taken just one point from their last seven games in the Premier League and have little to play for, as there is no big threat of them falling into a relegation battle.

Brighton have scored just once in the last seven top-flight matches ahead of their trip to the Emirates Stadium. So, odds of -134 against both teams scoring at least three combined goals is certainly an appealing bet.
