Despite the advantage, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp looks set to rotate his squad. The visit may need the home side to rest some key players, as the Reds are unbeaten in 19 home games in the Premier League. Klopp\u2019s side have also been impressive in front of goal of late, scoring at least two goals in 15 of their last 18 top-flight outings.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\/soccer\/premier-league\">Stoke head into this clash are major underdogs to record a win<\/a><\/strong>. However, the Potters are desperately in need of a shock win to aid their survival bid. Paul Lambert\u2019s visitors are four points from safety, having played a game more than 17<sup>th<\/sup> place Swansea. If results go against the visitors, they could suffer relegation this weekend. One of the Potters main problems of late is that they have struggled for wins on their travels in the top-flight, as the Staffordshire outfit have failed to win in their last 12 league games on the road.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurosport.co.uk\/football\/statbox-soccer-southampton-v-bournemouth_sto6730260\/story.shtml\">Southampton v Bournemouth<\/a> (Saturday, kick-off 3 PM)<\/h3>\n<p>Southampton are currently 18<sup>th<\/sup> place in the table, four points from safety heading into south coast derby against Bournemouth at St Marys.<\/p>\n<p>The Saints have failed to win in their last eight matches in the top-flight, while winning one of their last 21 league outings. The south coast side have struggled to win at St Marys, having failed to win any of their last nine league games on home soil. In fact, the Saints have lost four of their last five league encounters on home soil. They have at least kept clean in their last four home games against Bournemouth.<\/p>\n<p>Bournemouth heads to their south coast neighbours 11<sup>th<\/sup> in the Premier League. Eddie Howe\u2019s team will still be eying up a top-half finish this season. However, winning just once in their last nine league games has not helped their chances of a top-ten finish. The Cherries have also won just once in their last 11 away outings in the league.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.skysports.com\/football\/swansea-vs-chelsea\/preview\/373454\">Swansea v Chelsea<\/a> (Saturday, 5:30 PM)<\/h3>\n<p>A home win for Swansea against Chelsea at the Liberty Stadium would be a massive step towards safety for the Swans, who are four points clear of the relegation zone.<\/p>\n<p>However, Carlos Carvalhal\u2019s team have struggled for wins of late in the top-flight, as the Welsh side are winless in their last five outings. The home side have struggled for goals this season and no team has scored fewer goals than the visitors in the top-flight. There is a recent positive for the Swans, as they are unbeaten in five league games at the Liberty Stadium, recording four wins and a draw.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea head into this clash fifth-place and five points behind Tottenham who occupy the last Champions League spot. The Blues looked to be out of the race for the top-four until recent victories over Southampton and Burnley. The visitors have a good recent record against the Swans, as they have lost one of the last 11 meetings in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend\u2019s other Premier League fixtures (Kick-off 3 PM Unless stated)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Burnley v Brighton<\/p>\n<p>Crystal Palace v Leicester<\/p>\n<p>Huddersfield v Everton<\/p>\n<p>Newcastle v West Brom<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>West Ham v Manchester United (Kick-off 2:15 PM)<\/p>\n<p>Manchester United v Arsenal (Kick-off 4:30)<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Who will pick up crucial Premier League wins this weekend?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the Premier League title already won and the European spots all-but decided, the main focus for gameweek 36 and the rest of the season is the battle for Premier League survival.

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.
