Best Football Tips For Sunday 2nd February 2025

Three Premier League matches take place on Sunday 2nd February. Brentford face Spurs, Crystal Palace take on Manchester United and Arsenal clash with Manchester City in what looks an excellent afternoon of football. Below you can find today’s football tips with a selection from each match.
Crystal Palace vs Manchester United
Crystal Palace to win, Jean-Philippe Mateta anytime goalscorer and Manuel Ugarte to be booked (28/1 with bet365)
Three of Manchester United’s last four Premier League home matches have ended in defeat by at least a two-goal margin, while three of Crystal Palace’s previous four league road games have seen them win by a two-goal margin. Jean-Philippe Mateta has netted in three of Crystal Palace’s last five Premier League road games (four goals). Manuel Ugarte has been booked eight times in 27 appearances so far this season.
Brentford vs Spurs
Brentford to Win & BTTS (2/1 with Sky Bet)
Tottenham have lost six of their last seven Premier League matches (D1), with no side picking up fewer points since the start of this run on 22 December (1). There has been an average of 3.57 goals per game in Ange Postecoglou’s 61 Premier League games as Spurs boss, the highest ratio of any manager with 50+ games managed (120 for, 98 against).
Brentford are the Premier League’s leading scorers on home soil this season (29), and only Arsenal and Liverpool have collected more points in home matches. With Brentford having considerably longer to prepare as Spurs were in Europa League action on Thursday, I’m backing the Bees to win the match with both teams scoring.
Arsenal vs Man City
Gabriel to be Carded (4/1 with Sky Bet)
Cast your minds back to the last time that Arsenal played Manchester City and you may remember some of the beef between Gabriel and Erling Haaland. The Norweigan striker threw the ball at Gabriel’s head after City scored, and I fancy the pair will get into a ding-dong on Sunday.
Gabriel is an emotional player and tends to be carded in the higher-profile fixtures. At 4/1 with Sky Bet, he makes appeal to find his way into the book.
