Brighton 9/10 Draw 26/10 Leicester 3/1
Brighton's unbeaten start to the season came to an end at Fulham in midweek. They went down 2-1 but still finished the round in a lofty fourth position with 10 points from 5 matches. Brighton have won away at Manchester United (2-1) and West Ham (2-0) and in between those road trips they played out a 0-0 draw at home to Newcastle. Their most recent home game delivered a 1-0 win over Leeds.
Leicester are not in a good space right now and whether comments from the coach regarding lack of investment following Thursday's 1-0 home defeat to Manchester United have any repercussions remains to be seen. Leicester's only point came at home to Brentford on the opening weekend when they let a 2-0 lead slip against Brentford. They subsequently lost 4-2 at Arsenal, 2-1 at home to Southampton and 2-1 at Chelsea.
Verdict:
Leicester still have plenty of quality players and they need to show some spirit against a Brighton side who came unstuck at Fulham.
More on gut feel than anything I take the view Leicester may have hit rock bottom in every sense and can start their recovery here. The visitors get a speculative nod to claim maximum points.

Manchester United 1.55/1 Draw 5/2 Arsenal 1.55/1
United continue to turn things around and in midweek a Sancho goal was enough to earn victory away to Leicester. Last weekend they were 1-0 winners at Southampton with Fernandes scoring the only goal of the game and prior to that they were full value for a 2-1 win at home to Liverpool with Sancho and Rashford the scorers.
After 2 awful performances in a 2-1 home defeat to Brighton and 4-0 hiding at Brentford, United come into Round 6 in the top 5 and on transfer deadline day they finally sealed a deal for one of their prime targets, Antony.
Arsenal's winning streak continued in midweek with a 2-1 home win over Villa. Prior to that they had to come from behind to see off a spirited Fulham side with a 2-1 victory, adding to 3 point hauls at Bournemouth (3-0), at home to Leicester (4-2) and away to Palace (2-0). The Gunners remain the only side to boast a 100% record although they will be knocked off top spot if Manchester City win at Villa on Saturday.
Verdict:
With United having found some form this is the biggest test of the season so far for the Gunners and as the match result betting suggests, it's a tricky call . I'm with the draw.
