Draw best option in battle between Arsenal and Liverpool

The live lunchtime game on Saturday (12:45, BT SPORT) comes from Newcastle as they play host to a Chelsea side who now sit second in the league and are unbeaten in their last nine games in all competitions, winning each of the last six.

It is 4/6 (GENERAL) they see off Newcastle this weekend though the Magpies can take heart from the recent head-to-head record between these sides winning two of the last three. The Magpies are 19/4 (BETVICTOR) for the victory while the draw is 31/10 (BETVICTOR). Fernando Torres has hit form with three goals from his last two games and the Spaniard can be backed at 5/3 (888 SPORT/unibet) in the anytime scorer market. Andre Schurrie also netted in the last Chelsea game which made it five goals from his last four games in all competitions and the German is 5/2 (ladbrokes) to net here. Those looking for a Newcastle scorer might be interested in Loic Remy who has five in the last five Premier League games and can be backed at 11/4 (CORAL/BWIN).

The best bet from this game comes in the anytime assist market where I like the look of Davide Santon at 10/1 (boylesports). The Newcastle full-back created six goalscoring chances in the Tyne-Wear derby last weekend and is overpriced to do the same again here.

The evening kick-off promises to be a cracker as Arsenal take on Liverpool (17:30,SKY SPORTS) from the Emirates.The Gunners will need a performance after two cup defeats (Dortmund and Chelsea) and a narrow win against struggling Crystal Palace. Bookmakers make them 5/4 (boylesports/BET VICTOR/paddy Power) to beat a Liverpool side against whom they have lost just one of their last 12 clashes. Liverpool though can take heart from the fact they have lost just two of their last seven league games at the Emirates and are 12/5 (SKYBET) for all three points here.

I like the look of the draw which has been the result in eight of the last 15 meetings between the pair and is available at 5/2 (BETVICTOR/STAN JAMES/william hill). This might sound a little strange but also consider a little saver bet with the draw on the game winning margin of just one goal at 9/10 (betway). If you think the game will end all square then it makes sense to cover a wonder goal or penalty that might ruin your bet.

Luis Suarez is in red hot scoring form with six goals from four Premier League games since his return from suspension and he can be backed at 7/4 (TOTESPORT/betfred) to score anytime against Arsenal. Daniel Sturridge is another in great form netting in eight of his nine league games so far this season and he is 2/1 (STAN JAMES/ladbrokes/WINNER) to score anytime. For the Gunners Aaron Ramsey has got five goals and three assists from his last six league games and he is 7/2 (SKYBET/TOTESPORT/betfred).

The live Championship game is between Watford and Leicester (12:15,SKY) and looks an interesting game between two promotion contenders. I like the look of the Hornets to see off the Foxes at odds of 11/8 (CORAL). The Foxes have already lost Charlton and Doncaster in recent away games and lost three times to Watford last season. The Hornets will feel inspired by being wronged by having a goal disallowed against Brighton on Monday and this can inspire them to victory.

BEST OF THE BETS

GOLD: Watford to beat Leicester, 11/8 (CORAL)
SILVER: Draw between Arsenal v Liverpool, 5/2 (BETVICTOR/STAN JAMES/W.HILL) SAVER BET: Winning Margin one goal, 9/10 (betway)
BRONZE: Davide Santon to assist at anytime v Chelsea, 10/1 (BOYLESPORTS)
