Meanwhile, champions Manchester City head to Newcastle and league leaders Liverpool host Leicester
With the FA Cup taking centre stage this coming weekend, the next round of matches in the FA Premier League will not kick off until next Tuesday evening (29 January). On that night, Arsenal will welcome Cardiff City to the Emirates Stadium looking to break into the top four, while defending champions Manchester City visit St. James’ Park to take on Newcastle. The following day, league leaders Liverpool welcome Leicester City to Anfield.

Where should I be investing my money?
First up, the clash between Arsenal and Cardiff in London. The Gunners are coming off a hugely impressive win over Chelsea last time out and could move level on points with the Blues with a win here – temporarily, at least. Arsenal are at 4.50 to finish in the top four come the end of the season, while their forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is at 4.00 to finish with the Golden Boot.
Cardiff City, in stark contrast, are in serious trouble at the wrong end of the table. The Welsh club sit third from the bottom and are priced at just 1.50 to be relegated back down to the EFL Championship.
Unsurprisingly, it is Arsenal who come into this match as the red hot favourites to pick up the points. You can back the Gunners to win at just 1.28, with Cardiff out at 9.50 to record a shock win – a draw is priced in the middle at 5.50, according to Oddsshark.
We are expecting Arsenal to win this match with relative ease. A 3-0 win for the home side is priced at 9.00, meaning that a US$5 bet would lead to a US$45 pay out, while you could more than double your money by backing a combo bet of an Arsenal win, coupled with a “No” to both teams scoring, which is priced at 2.20
Manchester City need three points on the road
On the same day, defending champions Manchester City head north to take on Newcastle in pursuit of three points as they look to hang on to their domestic crown. City are four points behind table toppers Liverpool and are now out at 2.20 to win the title again.
Newcastle, by way of comparison, sit just two points above the relegation zone and are in desperate need of points themselves. The Magpies are at 5.00 to suffer relegation come the end of the season.
It is therefore not exactly a shock to see that it is Manchester City who are the favourites to win this match. You can back the champions to pick up the points at just 1.20 while Newcastle, despite home advantage, are all the way out at 13.00 to do the same – a draw is priced in the middle at 6.50.
This should be a comfortable evening for the champions. A 3-1 win for the champions is priced competitively at 12.00, thereby offering more than a ten-fold return on any investment, while you can double your money by backing both teams to score at 2.00.
Leaders Liverpool host Leicester
And finally, current league leaders Liverpool will welcome former champions Leicester City to Anfield on the following evening. The Reds sit four points clear at the top of the table and are the favourites to win their first ever Premier League crown, an outcome you can back at just 1.66.
Leicester, meanwhile, sit ninth in the table despite having lost their last three matches across all competitions. The Foxes could however jump as high as seventh with a win here, depending on how other results go.
It is Liverpool though who come into this match as the favourites to pick up another three points. You can back the Reds to win at just 1.18, while Leicester are all the way out at 13.00 to record what would be a shock victory – a draw is priced in the middle at 7.00.
We are expecting this to be a walkover for Liverpool. A 3-0 win for the home side is priced at just 7.50, while you can more than double your money by backing them to win both halves at a price of 2.10.
