Sky Sports’ football betting expert, Jones Knows, has provided his insightful analysis of the upcoming fixtures, focusing on the often-overlooked impact of referee appointments on betting odds, particularly in card markets. He notes that Michael Oliver’s more lenient approach this season could influence the Crystal Palace vs. Manchester City game.

Jones Knows also highlights Arsenal’s match against Wolves, suggesting betting on Arsenal to win with under 3.5 goals at 10/11 with Sky Bet, given Arsenal’s tendency to control games rather than engage in high-scoring affairs.

For the Crystal Palace vs. Manchester City clash, while both teams scoring is tempting, Jones Knows advises a smarter play: betting on Erling Haaland and Jean-Philippe Mateta to both score, available at 100/30 through Sky Bet’s BuildABet feature. He emphasizes Mateta’s impressive form as a key factor.

He also points out Nottingham Forest’s vulnerability to set-pieces, potentially making Tottenham’s Cristian Romero a valuable anytime goalscorer pick at 15/2 with Sky Bet.

In a surprising assessment, Jones Knows suggests betting on Newcastle to defeat Sunderland at 5/4 with Sky Bet, citing underlying performance metrics that indicate Sunderland’s overperformance.

For West Ham vs. Aston Villa, he predicts both teams to score, given the managerial history between Nuno Espirito Santo and Unai Emery, along with West Ham’s current growing pains under Nuno.

Regarding Brentford vs. Leeds, Jones Knows recommends Dominic Calvert-Lewin to be fouled at least twice at 5/4 with Sky Bet, given Leeds’ new direct style of play targeting him, combined with Brentford’s aggressive defending.

Finally, for Manchester United vs. Bournemouth, Jones Knows advises a “Bournemouth draw no bet” at 2/1 with Sky Bet, highlighting Bournemouth’s strong form in December under manager Andoni Iraola and their stylistic advantage over Manchester United.

Jones Knows’ expert treble tip: Everton double chance, Arsenal to win & under 3.5 goals & under 3.5 cards in Fulham vs Burnley at 7/1 with Sky Bet.
