The Premier League returns to our screens this weekend after two weeks of gruelling international football, and while much of the focus is targeted on a bumper Saturday that includes the Merseyside Derby and a trip to the Etihad for Arsenal, our cards and corners betting tips take aim on Sunday’s quartet of fixtures.
Sheffield United kick off proceedings with a rather uninspiring clash against Fulham before we head to Selhurst Park for a surprisingly exciting meeting with Brighton.
We herald in Sunday evening in North London as Spurs take on West Ham and then end the weekend with one of the low-key games of the weekend: Leicester vs Aston Villa.
But we’re not interested in the goals and results here. Our gaze is fixed on the corner flags and the referee as we dig into the lucrative cards and corners markets. While unearthing these betting opportunities does require a little extra work, it’s well worth the effort.
Especially when you don’t have to put in the effort. That’s what we’re here for, after all!
We’ve dived headfirst into the stats once again to bring you the very best Premier League cards and corners betting tips, so let’s crack on.
Don’t forget to check out all our betting tips for this weekend’s fixtures on our Premier League predictions page.
