Sunday, February 20, 2022 – 09:00 AM EST at Elland Road
Manchester United will clash with a familiar foe from the North of England this Sunday. And while the hosting team, Leeds United, struggle to find form of late, they won't want to be reminded of the 5-1 dismantling they received from the Red Devils during the reverse fixture at Old Trafford last year.
Life as a Leeds United fan hasn't been joyous in recent months, losing 6 of their last 9 games. To the credit of Leeds, the absence of Patrick Bamford and Kalvin Phillips hasn't assisted a squad who're currently missing several players heading into their matchday 26 meeting. Still, at least the Yorkshire club can find positivity in their overall home results this term.

Marcelo Bielsa's squad have shown promise when playing at Elland Road, losing just 2 of their previous 8 fixtures on home soil. However, one of those losses did come against relegation strugglers Newcastle in their last home assignment.
Ralf Rangnick will be looking towards his star man Bruno Fernandes, who notably slid three goals past Leeds in their previous meeting to notch himself a hat-trick. With that said, goal-scoring options won't be thin for the Red Devils when facing a Leeds United squad who've allowed the second-most goals this season.
In terms of goals allowed, Leeds United boasts the second-worst defense in the Premier League, signaling the expectation of a high-scoring affair.
The Premier League betting odds on the Manchester United moneyline aren't desirable, but if we add the over 1.5 goals alongside it, value is to be found.

Sunday, February 20, 2022 - 11:30 AM EST at Molineux Stadium
In a local rivalry between the West and East Midlands of England, Wolverhampton Wanderers welcome Leicester City to the Molineux Stadium for a Sunday afternoon Premier League battle.
Leicester City may be riding high after their midweek 4-1 Europa Conference League success against Denmark's Randers, but we cannot ignore the Foxes downtrend in domestic results. The visitors have allowed 26 goals throughout their last 10 games and are now forced to visit a Wolves squad, who own five clean sheets from their previous 9 games.
While the home form of Wolves hasn't been perfect in recent weeks, we must note the level of competition they've faced during this stretch (Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal). As Leicester are without a win in their last 8 away games, they don't pose a similar threat to the aforementioned teams.
With the defensive structure of Wolves facing a worn-down Leicester City squad, it's hard to envision a high-scoring affair between these two sides. The reverse fixture saw Leicester claim a 1-0 victory, and I anticipate a similar scoreline playing out, but perhaps in favor of the home side.
The available odds on under 2.5 goals aren't the most enticing but respectable enough when considering the likelihood of a low-scoring game for our second EPL pick.
Score Prediction: Wolves 1 – Leicester 0
EPL Pick: Under 2.5 Goals (-133) [1.75] [1.33u wager returns 1u of profit] at Everygame
