English Premier League: Saturday's Predictions February 7

Manchester United vs. Tottenham EPL Picks

Diego Dalot has started 19 of 24 EPL matches for Manchester United this season - EPL Picks

Best Bet: Manchester United ML/Under 4.5 (+122) Lucky Rebel Sportsbook

Manchester United have a huge chip on their shoulder, having not beaten the Spurs in eight consecutive matches. Plus, the last time they went head to head at Old Trafford, they were blanked 3-0 by their visitors. It's time they get some revenge.

The hosts have nothing left to play for except their domestic league, where they are currently No. 4 on the table, a point ahead of Chelsea and two ahead of Liverpool. With 14 matches to go, holding their UEFA Champions League qualifying spot is crucial, and earning three points at home is a must.

Tottenham could be more worried about their chances at winning this year's UCL, and sit at No. 14 on the EPL table as it currently stands. We saw just six total shots on target and eight corner kicks in the first meeting, and I expect defense to be at the forefront of each club's strategy for this match. Give me United at home in a low scoring contest.

Prediction: Manchester United Wins 1-0 (+900)

Arsenal vs. Sunderland EPL Picks

Best Bet: Arsenal ML/Under 3.5 (-110) Lucky Rebel Sportsbook

I don't hate backing the Gunners to win to nil, which is priced at -143, but I also don't see them scoring too many. Taking it a step further, backing the under 2.5 at +104 could also be a move. Yes, these teams already played to a 2-2 draw earlier this year, but that was at the Stadium of Light and Sunderland scored in stoppage time to force a draw.

Overall, we have two of the best back lines in the EPL. Arsenal lead the league by allowing less than one goal per match, 0.71 to be exact. They are the only club that has allowed less than 20 goals this season through 24 matches. Sunderland isn't far behind them. The Black Cats are No. 8 on the EPL table, but are tied for third in goals allowed, giving up just 1.08 per match. However, their offense struggles to find the back of the net often.

While the Gunners didn't lose the first match, I do see this as a "revenge spot at home" given they lost a couple points in the final minutes of the game. I expect the second highest scoring offense in the EPL to be able to find a winner or two, but not much more than that, considering Sunderland is very good defensively. Ultimately, Arsenal can will their way to a victory, but I don't think it comes easy.

Prediction: Arsenal Wins 2-0 (+450)

Fulham vs. Everton EPL Picks

Can Jack Grealish lead Everton to a victory on the road against Fulham? EPL Picks

Can Jack Grealish lead Everton to a victory on the road against Fulham?

Best Bet: Everton +0.5 (-134) Lucky Rebel Sportsbook

We are paying some juice to back Everton on the double chance line on the road. Now, you can get them at +0.25 for plus money if you'd rather, and you'd still walk away with some profit if they end up drawing. However, I'll pay the juiceman and get the entire half goal on my side. Everton beat Fulham twice in the 2025 calendar year, and are unbeaten against them in their last five head to head matches.

Both clubs have a -1 goal differential on the season and are tied with 34 points on the EPL table. This seems like it will be a stale match to me. Everton was able to win 2-0 in their previous meeting this season but it was fairly equal on the stat sheet. Possession was nearly a perfect 50/50 split, Everton had one more shot on target and just two more corner kicks. I think they can carry that result over and translate it into at least earning a point on the road.

Prediction: 1-1 Draw (+525)
