Football accumulator tips for this weekend [27-28 April 2024]

We have another big weekend in the Premier League to look forward to, with all 20 teams in the division in action

We have focused on five of the games taking place on Saturday and Sunday, picking out a betting tip for each of them.

A £10 wager on our three-leg acca would pay out £77.73, while the same stake on our five-leg version offers a potential return of £285.

Manchester United vs Burnley: Man Utd to win and both teams to score (6/4)

Manchester United twice came from behind to beat last-placed Sheffield United in midweek. 

It was not a convincing display from Erik ten Hag’s side, but the hosts were nevertheless worthy winners.

Burnley are the next visitors to Old Trafford. They must avoid defeat at the very least to keep their slim survival hopes alive, so we should see Vincent Kompany’s team show some attacking intent against a patched-up United backline.

Over the course of the 90 minutes, though, United’s superior individual quality shone through.

That is what happened against Sheffield United, as Bruno Fernandes stepped up and wrestled back control for his side.

Burnley can score at Old Trafford, but Ten Hag’s charges should find a way to come out on top.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal: Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals (8/11)

The standout fixture of the Premier League is scheduled for Sunday afternoon, when Tottenham Hotspur will do battle with their arch-rivals Arsenal.

Both sides need the points for different reasons. Arsenal are engaged in what now looks to be a two-way tussle for the title with Manchester City.

As for Spurs, they could be nine points adrift of the top four by the time this match - which is one of their three games in hand - gets under way. A defeat would leave them with a mountain to climb in their pursuit of Champions League football.

The north London derby is one of the most entertaining fixtures in English football. Meetings between this pair rarely disappoint.

Ange Postecoglou is an attack-minded manager, so Tottenham will go for it despite being underdogs. Needless to say, that is good news for neutrals.

Wolves vs Luton Town: Luton or draw (4/5)

The relegation battle has narrowed in the last few days after Everton and Brentford both pulled clear of the bottom three, and Crystal Palace secured survival.

Burnley still have a chance of surviving, but realistically it looks like a battle between Luton Town and Nottingham Forest for 17th place.

This trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers is therefore vital for the Hatters, not least because Forest must face Manchester City on Sunday.

Wolves have had some bad luck with injuries of late and they have nothing tangible left to play for this term.

That is good news for Luton, who can pick up a result against a team that has not won any of its last six matches.

Aston Villa vs Chelsea: Aston Villa to win (6/5)

Aston Villa can open up a nine-point lead over Tottenham Hotspur in the race for a fourth-place finish in the late kick-off on Saturday.

Even though Spurs would have three games in hand at that point, a nine-point deficit could prove insurmountable.

Chelsea are still in the mix for European football too, but their confidence will have been further dented by Tuesday’s 6-0 defeat by Arsenal.

Mauricio Pochettino will be looking for a response from his players, but Aston Villa have the bit between their teeth right now.

Chelsea did win at Villa Park in the FA Cup earlier this year, but we expect the hosts to triumph in this one.

Newcastle United vs Sheffield United: Newcastle over 2.5 goals (4/6)

Sheffield United’s race is almost run. A defeat at St James’ Park would send them back to the Championship, while a draw would leave them nine points adrift of safety with three games remaining.

Newcastle were far from their best in a 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace on Wednesday, but Eddie Howe’s side are a different beast at their headquarters.

Only four teams in the division have collected more points in front of their own fans than Newcastle. No side has scored more goals on familiar turf.

In other words, this is a clash between the Premier League’s joint-best home attack and its worst overall defence. Newcastle can easily find the back of the net three times or more.

⚽ Choose Newcastle to score over 2.5 goals at 4/6 with bet365 ⚽
