Wolves 5.75/1 Draw 36/10 Arsenal 9/20 (Saturday)

 

Another tough game for Wolves who are hovering just outside the drop zone on goal difference. After a draw at Spurs they have suffered 3 consecutive defeats, at home to Forest (3-0) and away at Newcastle (also 3-0) and Chelsea (3-1).

 

Arsenal remain second on goal difference after their 2-2 draw at home to Villa last week and they are now 6 points behind Liverpool who also have a game in hand. They are unbeaten in their last 12 league games but 5 of those finished all square.

 

The Verdict

 

I think Martinelli starts this game and hopefully he comes away with a goal.

 

Bet: Anytime goalscorer Gabriel Martinelli at 17/10 with Sportingbet

 

Man City 19/20 Draw 3/1 Chelsea 24/10 (Saturday)

 

City surrendered a lead in the UCL away to PSG in midweek. They have won 3 and drawn 2 of their last 5 league games and come into the round in fifth place, 2 points behind fifth place Chelsea, 4 shy of Forest and Arsenal and 12 behind Liverpool.

 

Chelsea's 3-1 home win over Wolves on Monday ended a run of 5 league games without a win. Three of those matches were road trips which saw them drop points in draws at Everton and Palace either side of a defeat at Ipswich

 

The Verdict

 

City's defensive issues were highlighted again in midweek and whilst they have been firing at the other end of the pitch I give Chelsea a decent shout of taking a point.

 

Bet: Match Result Draw at 3/1 with Sportingbet

 

Crystal Palace 21/20 Draw 26/10 Brentford 23/10 (Sunday)

 

Palace are unbeaten in their last 5 and have joined Brentford in mid table. Going further back it's just 1 defeat in the last 11 and they have found the net in 10 of those matches.

 

Brentford's only win in their last 7 came away to bottom of the table Southampton and that is their only win on the road this season.

 

The Verdict

 

Palace are putting things together and question marks remain about Brentford's away form. Home win for me.

 

Bet: Home win at 21/20 with Sportingbet

 

 

Spurs 9/20 Draw 4.25/1 Leicester 5/1 (Sunday)

 

Spurs slipped to fifteenth after taking just 1 point from their last 6 league games and their only win in the last 10 EPL outings came at Southampton.

 

Leicester have lost 7 league games in a row and are second bottom although their tally of 14 log points is still only 2 worse then Ipswich and fourth bottom Wolves.

 

The Verdict

 

Two sides badly in need of a boost, Spurs have more excuses than Leicester and Kulusevski is my goalscorer pick

 

Bet: Anytime goalscorer Dejan Kulusevski at 2/1 with Sportingbet

 

Fulham 13/10 Draw 24/10 Man United 2/1 (Sunday)

 

Fulham have lost just 1 of their last 10 although6 of those finished all square. They have scored exactly 2 goals in each of their last 5 and are bang in the middle of the standings.

 

United are thirteenth and they have lost 4, won 1 and drawn 1 of their last 6 league outings. Recent away form is probably better than at Old Trafford but they seemingly can't kick the habit of taking 1 step forward and 2 back.

 

The Verdict

 

I'm open minded about the result and the number of goals but the Fernandes price boost does make some appeal

 

Bet: Anytime goalscorer Bruno Fernandes at 3/1 with Sportingbet
