The traffic at the top of the English Premier League is worse than Washington Airport on Christmas Eve if your name is John McClane. From giants of the game such as Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool to less-fancied sides such as West Ham and Leicester, just four points separate the top seven sides in the 20-team division.  

This weekend sees Gameweek #11 take place and with local clashes and top vs. bottom match-ups, it could be another weekend of surprises. Due to a COVID-19 outbreak at St. James’ Park, the game between Aston Villa and Newcastle United has been postponed, but with nine matches going ahead, there are some great betting opportunities for the shrewd punter.  

West Ham United vs. Manchester United (Saturday, 5.30pm)  

The Hammers welcome The Red Devils with the home side in the unlikely position of 5th place in the English Premier League, a point ahead of their visitors, albeit after playing one game more. With former Manchester United coach David Moyes now in the home dugout after a period of transition that lasted from his exit at United virtually until last season, the East London side will be gunning for three points against a United side who lost 3-1 at home to Paris St. Germain in the Champions League in midweek.
