Saturday Premier League tips
- Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea BTTS @ 3/5
- Arsenal to win to nil @ 10/11
- Liverpool vs Aston Villa BTTS @ 8/13
- Fulham to win @ 17/20
Four-fold @ 9/1
Expect a goal fest in London
Spurs and Chelsea have certainly had their moments this season, but both sides are struggling to string several good performances together.
The home side lost to Newcastle in the EFL Cup on Wednesday, while the Blues suffered a shock defeat to Sunderland last time out in the top flight.
Both teams have scored 17 goals each in the league, signalling that there are no problems with their attacking output.
Across three of their previous six Premier League matchups, both teams have scored in this fixture. Given how effect each side has been in front of goal, expect a goal fest this weekend.
Leg 1: Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea BTTS @ 3/5
Arsenal to continue defensive dominance
Arsenal have won eight consecutive matches in all competitions which include victories over Newcastle, Atletico Madrid and Brighton.
During that spell, they have won seven games to nil, conceding just once in the process.
Burnley have adjusted to Premier League life rather well, recording 10 points from nine games. However, they have conceded 17 goals so far, the joint third-worst record in the top flight, and Arsenal can take advantage.
Leg 2: Arsenal to win to nil @ 10/11
Villa can keep pressure on Reds
After a dreadful start to the season, Aston Villa are finally finding their groove in the Premier League, winning each of their last five games.
Liverpool did begin the season well, but since defeating Southampton in the EFL Cup on September 23, the Reds have claimed just one victory in seven matches.
Villa defeated Man City on Sunday and have the firepower to hurt the champions on Saturday. Arne Slot’s side will be up for the fight so expect both teams to score in this interesting matchup.
Leg 3: Liverpool vs Aston Villa BTTS @ 8/13
Fulham can ease relegation fears
Fulham may be through to the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup, but the Cottagers have won only two league games this season.
While the panic buttons won’t be pressed just yet, Marco Silva will be hoping his team can go on a positive run sooner rather than later.
Who better to face than Wolves? The Old Gold are rock bottom of the table with zero wins thus far, boasting the second-worst defensive record in the Premier League.
Expect the home side to condemn Wolves to their eighth league defeat of the campaign.
Leg 4: Fulham to beat Wolves @ 17/20
