Note, odds are correct at the time of writing but are subject to change
Bournemouth 24/10 Draw 2.36/1 Leicester 11/10
Bournemouth have 9 points from 8 matches and they are 3 points clear of the relegation zone. They are unbeaten in their last 4 league outings, draws at home to Wolves and most recently Brentford (both 0-0), a 3-2 win at Nottingham Forest and a 1-1 draw at Newcastle. Their only other points came in a 2-0 home win over Villa on the opening weekend whilst Arsenal (3-0) are the only side to have won at this stadium this season.
Leicester picked up their first league win of the season at the eighth time of asking when they thumped Nottingham Forest 4-0 in a home fixture on Monday night. That result saw them move off the foot of the table above Forest on goal difference but with just 4 points they remain in the drop zone. Leicester's only other point came in a 2-2 draw at home to Brentford on the opening weekend whilst away from home they have lost at Arsenal (4-2), Chelsea (2-1), Brighton (5-2) and Spurs (6-2).
Verdict:
The win and clean sheet on Monday will have done Leicester a world of good and they now set about improving on a woeful away record which has seen them ship bucket loads of goals.
Leicester have at least contributed to the scoring in that awful run on their travels and although Bournemouth have played out a couple of 0-0 draws in recent home games, I'm with the visitors to score 2 or more here.
For an anytime goalscorer pick Harvey Barnes, who was on target against Forest, gets the nod.
Bets: Leicester total goals, over 1.5 at even money
Anytime goalscorer Harvey Barnes at 28/10

Brighton 1.74/1 Draw 2.45/1 Spurs 1.53/1
Roberto de Zerbi's first game in charge of Brighton saw them take a point from a trip to Liverpool in a thrilling 3-3 draw. Trossard scored all 3 of their goals and Brighton led 2-0 and then had to come back from 3-2 down. Their 3 earlier home games delivered a 0-0 draw with Newcastle, 1-0 win over Leeds and that 5-2 hiding of Leicester. Brighton are in a lofty fourth position with 4 wins, 2 draws and just the 1 defeat which came away to Fulham.
Spurs suffered their first league defeat of the season when they went down 3-1 in the derby away to Arsenal last weekend. They remain in third spot, 3 points behind Manchester City and 4 behind the Gunners and they have 3 points worth of daylight over Brighton. Earlier road trips delivered draws in other London derby matches, at Chelsea (2-2) and West Ham (1-1) . They have won 2-0 at Forest but they also lost away to Sporting in the Champions League and in midweek they played out a 0-0 draw at Frankfurt.
Verdict:
This is a tricky game for a Spurs side who haven't been anywhere near their best since they thrashed Leicester.
After scoring 3 at Anfield and 5 in their last home game I can see Brighton finding the net at some stage. Although they have fired blanks in 2 UCL road trips Spurs can generally be relied upon to score in the EPL so I'll take my chances with both teams to score? (yes) and hopefully one side will add to the tally.
Danny Welbeck provides the anytime interest
Bets: Total Goals & Both Teams to Score, over 2.5 and yes at 11/10
