My weekend football acca will get you £246.24 from a £10 bet
After an eventful midweek in the Premier League, we have another set of fixtures to look forward to between Saturday and Monday. Our latest football acca focuses on five of the matches taking place this weekend, including games involving Arsenal and Liverpool. A £10 wager on our three-leg acca would pay out £74.62, while the same stake on our five-leg version offers a potential return of £246.24. Arsenal vs Aston Villa: Over 2.5 goals (8/11) Arsenal fans must have feared the worst when they saw their team go 1-0 down to Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday evening. But two quick-fire goals in the first half put Arsenal 2-1 up and that is how it remained until the final whistle. Not everything has gone smoothly for Mikel Arteta’s team of late, but that victory in the north London derby moved them within four points of Liverpool in top spot. Arsenal are not out of the title race yet. Their bid to win the championship last term was in large part derailed by Aston Villa’s triumph at the Emirates Stadium in April. Villa have been inconsistent in 2024/25 but they are more than capable of causing Arsenal problems this weekend. We could be in store for an entertaining affair at the Emirates. Tip over 2.5 goals at 8/11 with bet365 Brentford vs Liverpool: Liverpool to win and both teams to score (7/5) Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw by Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night, but Arne Slot was understandably pleased with his team’s performance for the most part. Arsenal are keeping Liverpool honest at the summit of the standings, with Slot’s side having won just one of their last four encounters in all competitions. A trip to Brentford is not easy. No team in the division has collected more points from home games than Thomas Frank’s charges. Brentford were at it again on Tuesday, coming from 2-0 down to rescue a point against Manchester City. Both teams have scored in 10 of Brentford’s 11 home games this term, so goals at both ends looks like an astute choice. Pair that with a victory for the visitors. Back Liverpool to win and both teams to score at 7/5 with bet365 Newcastle United vs Bournemouth: Alexander Isak to score any time (4/5) Alexander Isak is on fire. The Sweden international notched a brace on Wednesday as Newcastle United beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-0. Isak had a slow start to the campaign, but he is now back to his best. The Newcastle frontman has found the back of the net 16 times in his last 15 appearances in all competitions. Isak has also scored in eight consecutive Premier League games. He has Jamie Vardy’s record of 11 successive matches in his sights. Newcastle are the division’s form team right now and while Bournemouth are a tough nut to crack, the Magpies will fancy their chances of winning again this weekend. With Isak at the top of the pitch, Newcastle have a chance against anyone. The former Real Sociedad man can make it nine goalscoring games on the bounce in this one.
