SATURDAY
LEEDS v ARSENAL
Leeds are currently 16th on the log with only 1 win in 7 starts. They have suffered back-to-back defeats away at Manchester City and Chelsea by 7-0 and 3-2 respectively. Their last home game was a 2-2 draw with Brentford and overall at home they have won 2 and drawn 4 of 8 matches this season.
Arsenal are up to 4th on the table and they have won their last 2 games, 2-0 at home to West Ham and 3-0 at home to Southampton. Their last 2 away games were defeats though, 2-1 at Everton and 3-2 at Manchester United and Arsenal have only won 2 of their 8 away matches, drawing 1 and losing 5.
This fixture finished 0-0 last season, but the reverse at Arsenal was 4-2 to the Gunners.

Leeds 29/10
Draw 57/20
Arsenal 9/10
Suggested Bet: Arsenal win at 9/10
I think Arsenal have really turned the corner and are going to challenge hard for a top 4 perhaps even a top 3 spot and they can take all 3 points against a Leeds side that looks to be struggling.
SUNDAY
WOLVES v CHELSEA
Wolves have climbed to 8th on the table after a 1-0 away win over Brighton, a victory that halted a 4 match run without a win. Wolves have won 3 and drawn 1 of their 8 home fixtures and Wolves home games have been the lowest scoring in the Division averaging just 1.5 goals each with only 2 of the 8 matches delivering profits had you been backing over 2.5 goals.
Chelsea are 3rd on the table, but they have only taken 4 points from the last 9 they have played for. They drew 1-1 at home to Everton in midweek and their last away game was a 3-2 defeat to West Ham. Both teams have found the back of the net in Chelsea’s last 5 League matches. Chelsea away games have averaged 2.8 goals each and the last 4 matches have all seen over 2.5 goal backers collect profits.

Wolves 21/4
Draw 16/5
Chelsea 11/20
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 23/20
Chelsea’s defence doesn’t look quite like it did earlier in the season and I am going to bet on the recent trend of Chelsea matches having both teams find the net.
TOTTENHAM v LIVERPOOL
Tottenham are currently 7th on the table and they have hit a good run of form winning their last 3 games, most recently they beat Norwich 3-0 at home and it is their home form which has carried them this season with 6 wins and 2 defeats in 8 matches.
Looking into Tottenham goal stats their home matches have averaged 2.4 goals each with 5 of the 8 games reaching the 3 goal mark.
Liverpool are currently 2nd on the log having seen off Newcastle 3-1 at home in midweek. They have now won 6 consecutive matches and on the road have lost 1 and drawn 1 of 8 matches this season.
Liverpool away games are the highest scoring in the Division averaging 4.1 goals each with 7 of the 8 matches delivering a profit had you backed over 2.5 goals, that being said their last away match was one for unders backers where they beat Wolves 1-0.
Liverpool won this fixture 3-1 last season and they have an excellent recent record over Tottenham winning their last 6 League matches.

Tottenham 9/2
Draw 69/20
Liverpool 6/10
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 15/10
This has a look of a fixture that could have plenty of goals in it and I am betting that we get 4 goals or more.
