I’ve got two bets for this weekend’s Premier League action.
The pregame narrative: Nottingham Forest is in a dog fight for Champions League qualification, and I expect it to pick up three points against Tottenham. Elsewhere, look for Mo Salah to continue producing at a historic rate.

Best Bet: Salah to score (-134)
I’m a little surprised you can get Salah to score at this price, considering he’s having one of the greatest seasons of all time.
The Egyptian striker has scored 27 goals in 32 games for Liverpool while adding 18 assists. And these underlying metrics provided by FotMob are pretty good, too:
- 1st in expected goals (22.7)
- 1st in expected goals on target (27.2)
- 1st in big chances (23)
- 3rd in expected goals per 90 (0.72)
On Sunday, Salah and the Reds take on a Leicester City side bound for relegation. The Foxes are 4-6-22 and have given up the second-most goals (72) in the Premier League.
A win would all but guarantee Liverpool the league, and I expect Salah to leave no doubt.
Key stat: Salah scored a goal on five shot attempts against Leicester earlier this season.
Quick pick
Nottingham to win (+180) Nottingham fans are white knuckling the steering wheel down the stretch. The Trees sit fourth in the Premiership with 57 points, two ahead of Manchester City and three ahead of Chelsea and Aston Villa.
With five Champions League spots allocated to English clubs this season, picking up points on Monday is a must.
Spurs sit a miserable 15th in the table and have lost four of their last six games. That includes a recent 4-2 defeat to Wolverhampton at the Molineux.
Agne Postecoglou’s words don’t seem to be registering anymore, and Tottenham will be focused on Thursday’s Europa League quarterfinal match against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Nottingham sports an 8-6-2 away record this season and beat Tottenham 1-0 in the reverse fixture back on December 26.
