Four-fold @ 15/1
Efficient Gunners may keep their powder dry
The Emirates hosts a capital clash as Arsenal welcome Brentford. The table-topping Gunners are heavy favourites, but Brentford arrive in good form too after four wins in their last six matches.
Mikel Arteta’s team have been more efficient than explosive at home in the Premier League, winning all but one of their matches at the Emirates while scoring fewer than three goals in three of their last four.
The Bees have tightened up defensively of late too and have not conceded more than twice in any of their last four trips to this part of North London.
Leg 1: Total Arsenal Goals – 1 or 2 @ 5/6
Brighton may have edge on tired Villa
Brighton have won three of their last four matches to surge up the table and could be facing an equally in-form Villa just at the right time – as fatigue sets in.
The Villans laboured to a 1-0 home win over Wolves at the weekend with star turn Morgan Rogers looking like a shadow of his usual self.
Unai Emery’s side have not beaten a current top-half team away from home this season, while Brighton have taken all three points from good sides like Man City and Newcastle at home.
Leg 2: Brighton to Win @ 23/20
Turf Moor tussle to deliver goals
Burnley and Crystal Palace will be looking to bounce back from weekend defeats when they meet in Lancashire and goals could be on the menu at Turf Moor.
Six of the Clarets’ last nine matches have featured three or more strikes, while three of the Eagles’ last five have also landed over 2.5 goal bets.
Oliver Glasner’s side looked jaded in the second half against Manchester United on Sunday, perhaps as a result of their midweek European mission against Strasbourg.
They should be rejuvenated for this trip north and will be encouraged by how Burnley fell apart late on in Saturday’s 3-1 defeat at Brentford.
Leg 3: Over 2.5 Goals @ 1/1
Referee could be busy at Elland Road
Leeds welcome Chelsea to Elland Road on Wednesday in a fixture that has historically produced drama.
The Whites pulled off a stunning 3-0 victory against the Blues the last time the sides met in Yorkshire with Kalidou Koulibaly given his marching orders late on for two yellow card offences.
And the referee could have his work cut out on Wednesday too with Leeds desperate to stop the rot near the bottom of the table and Chelsea eyeing a title tilt.
Both clubs are in the top half of the foul-count table with Chelsea already having had four players sent off in the Premier League.
Appointed official Darren England is one of the harsher referees, averaging four cards per game this season and just 5.2 fouls per card.
England has brandished at least five cards in three of his eight Premier League matches so far, so it would be no surprise to see him administer at least five cautions again here.
Leg 4: Over 4.5 Cards @ 21/20
