Here are previews of\u00a0 some of the games taking place on Saturday:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.skysports.com\/football\/tottenham-vs-arsenal\/373365\"><strong>Tottenham v Arsenal (12:30pm)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The north London derby has been a crucial clash in the past few seasons, especially when it comes to the Champions League spots. This clash is no different, as the fifth-place home side are four points clear of the sixth-place visitors.<\/p>\n<p>A draw would be enough for the home side to move above fourth-place Chelsea on goal difference, at least temporarily anyway. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/reviews\/betfred\">Spurs heads into this game as favourites for the victory<\/a><\/strong>, which is understandable considering they are on a run of 12 matches unbeaten at Wembley. However, <strong>the home side have won just one of the last six meetings with Arsenal.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Arsenal have been highly unpredictable in the Premier League this season. Arsene Wenger\u2019s team simply cannot afford to lose this clash if they want to keep pace in the race for Champions League spots this season. A 5-1 victory over Everton last time out will have lifted spirits at the north London club. However, <strong>consecutive away defeats in the top-flight do not bode well for an away victory.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.101greatgoals.com\/news\/match-previews\/football-predictions\/stoke-vs-brighton-predictions\/\"><strong>Stoke City v Brighton (3 PM)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While the early kick-off involves teams fighting at the top of the table, this clash involves two teams attempting to move clear of the drop zone.<\/p>\n<p>The home side are currently in the relegation zone, but only due to their inferior goal difference to 17<sup>th<\/sup> place Swansea City. The Potters recent record in the Premier League is poor, as <strong>they have lost four of their last six league games<\/strong>. However, their performances have improved under new Paul Lambert.<\/p>\n<p>Last time out the Potters suffered a 2-1 defeat at fellow strugglers Bournemouth. The defeat saw them slip back into the relegation zone. A win in this game could be a pivotal one for the home side in the fight to avoid the drop.<\/p>\n<p>Brighton are just three points above the home side in the table and by no means clear of the fight for survival just yet. Last time out the Seagulls recorded a 3-1 home win over West Ham to end a winless run of six games in the league.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chris Hughton\u2019s side have won just two of their 13 away games in the Premier League<\/strong> this season. The Seagulls have also failed to win in their last seven games on their travels, suffering five defeats in the process. They cannot afford another loss in this fixture.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.examiner.co.uk\/sport\/football\/news\/huddersfield-town-vs-afc-bournemouth-14264451\"><strong>Huddersfield v Bournemouth (12 PM Sunday)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Huddersfield heads into this weekend\u2019s clash with Bournemouth at the John Smiths Stadium in desperate need of a victory.<\/p>\n<p>The Yorkshire outfit have plummeted down the table in recent months and are now, in fact, 19<sup>th<\/sup> place. However, they are only in the bottom three courtesy of inferior goal difference to 17<sup>th<\/sup> place Swansea City. Town have failed to win in their last eight league games, while also <strong>suffering five straight league defeats<\/strong>. David Wagner\u2019s side have struggled for goals of late, failing to score in five of their last six outings.<\/p>\n<p>Things have looked up for Bournemouth of late. The Cherries have moved seven points clear of the relegation zone and up to ninth-place in the table. The visitor\u2019s victory over Stoke City means that <strong>Eddie Howe\u2019s side are unbeaten in seven league games<\/strong>. They are now undefeated in their last three away games in the top-flight. The south coast outfit will be confident of continuing their recent good form in Yorkshire.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday\u2019s other Premier League games: 3 PM unless stated<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Everton v Crystal Palace<\/p>\n<p>Swansea v Burnley<\/p>\n<p>West Ham v Watford<\/p>\n<p>Manchester City v Leicester<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Who will pull off the big Premier League win on Saturday?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend the Premier League offers up some tasty treats, as usual.

My name is David Nugent and I am editor-in-chief of LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com. I have always enjoyed various sports, primarily soccer, as I am a die-hard Everton fan. Over time, I learned more about sports betting and discovered the fascinating online gambling industry. Eventually, I decided to turn this passion of mine into a project, and that\u2019s how this platform came to be. I am excited to share my story with you and talk about this platform that\u2019s a result of over 20 years of experience I have in the industry. My Beginnings My love for sports has always been a big part of my life. It all started with my dad and me playing in the backyard, but I continued to play sports throughout both elementary and high school. At that time, I knew very little about sports betting since it wasn\u2019t legal in Pennsylvania, but I quickly learned that other states have different laws and that sports betting was legalized in some of them. When the time to pick a college came, everyone thought I was going to do something sports-related. However, that wasn\u2019t my plan. Since there are many lawyers in my family, I decided to follow in their footsteps. I studied law at the University of Pennsylvania, and during that time, my passion for sports only grew bigger. I would watch various sporting events with my friends and attend all matches and games that were happening in the area. On one occasion, I decided to go on a road trip to Vegas with my friends, and, needless to say, I fell in love with the bright lights, humongous buildings, and fantastic casinos. That\u2019s when I discovered the whole gambling scene I knew nothing about. Of course, I knew how to play some games, such as poker and blackjack, but I never realized how well-developed this industry actually was. That trip changed my perspective on what I wanted to do with my life. After I graduated, I took some time off and I traveled through the US, exploring various casinos and land-based sportsbooks. I also spent one year in the UK, where my dream of watching Everton play finally came true. There, I realized how advanced the whole gambling industry is and that the legal aspect of it was quite different than in the US. I spent that time writing for various online platforms where I had the opportunity to share my extensive knowledge about sports. When I came back to the US, I was given a chance to write for an international soccer magazine where I covered the Premier League \u2014 which I was crazy about \u2014 Bundesliga, and other international tournaments. After having written hundreds of sports-related articles, I knew what I wanted to do \u2014 create my own platform and share my knowledge with others. How LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com Came to Life Once I set the goal, I started doing extensive research on the online gambling industry and the laws surrounding it. I wanted to combine my background in law and the passion I have for sports and create a high-quality online platform. While the online gambling industry was flourishing in Europe, the exact opposite was happening in the US. That is, until 2018 when PASPA (Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act) was overturned. After that, every US state was allowed to introduce new laws and provide operators that wanted to offer various online gambling opportunities with licenses. That was the start of the online gambling industry in the US. Since I knew how online gambling worked thanks to the experience I gained when I was in the UK, I was extremely excited to have the opportunity to introduce US players to the best online gambling platforms and show them that online sportsbooks and casinos can offer an immersive gambling experience, just like their land-based counterparts. Why I Do This What attracted me to online gambling was the possibility of placing bets on my favorite teams from the comfort of my home. I wanted to be able to do that using safe platforms and secure payment options to fund my betting account. And that is exactly what I want for my fellow bettors, too. Naturally, I was a bit of a skeptic myself at first when it came to online gambling simply because I knew how unsafe some sites can be. But once I did some research and talked to fellow European experts, I realized that there is a way to find perfectly safe online gambling platforms. Every gambling site you find on this platform has gone through extensive and rigorous testing to ensure its safety and reliability. Additionally, I have studied the laws of each state in the US, as well as of other countries worldwide, to gain a deeper understanding of how online gambling works in different parts of the world. I\u2019d like to note that the online gambling industry has just begun its journey and we are yet to see its significant growth and improvement in the future. It will be my pleasure to witness all of that with you. I Couldn\u2019t Have Done This on My Own Of course, none of this would have been possible if it weren\u2019t for the amazing team of people I gathered for this project. Since I have only basic knowledge of web development, I started working with some experienced developers who have helped me build this platform. Today, they are here to make sure everything runs smoothly. Also, I knew from the beginning that I wouldn\u2019t be able to take care of all the content on my own, which is why LegalGamblingAndTheLaw.com has an incredible team of experienced gamblers, writers, and people with a background in law. They help me conduct in-depth research and find all the necessary information. Naturally, since this industry is still new in the US, we are all learning a lot, and we will continue to do so in order to improve our platform and make your experience better.

Naturally, since this industry is still new in the US, we are all learning a lot, and we will continue to do so in order to improve our platform and make your experience better. Finally, I would love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and comments, so feel free to contact me at any time.","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/Nuge1983"],"url":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/author\/david-nugent\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4466"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4466\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
