Everton vs Spurs
Both sides come into this one on the back of defeat in the Premier League. Everton will be hoping to continue their strong home form, the toffees are yet to lose a league game at home. But they face a Spurs side that have performed much better on their travels than when they are at the London Stadium.
1u: Total goals over 2.5 (-110)
The stats would suggest that both these sides score and concede goals in these encounters. So I’m going to lean towards that today.
Key Stats:
Arsenal vs Crystal Palace
The Gunners have the chance to extend their advantage over champions Liverpool to 7pts if they win today. They will face a tough test in Crystal Palace, who beat Liverpool themselves a month ago with a stoppage time winner by former Arsenal man Eddie Nketiah.
1u: Arsenal ML & over 1.5 goals (-163)
With the stats below, I’d suggest Arsenal will capitalise on this opportunity and get the job done early in the first 60 minutes today.
Key Stats:
- Arsenal have won just 2 of their L5 home games against sides between 7th-16th in the table.
- Arsenal have won 13 in their L20, in which 77% of those games have over 2.5 goals.
- Crystal Palace have just 2 wins in 15 against top 7 sides away from home.
- In their last 20 away games agains top 8 sides, they average 2.6 goals against.
Chelsea vs Sunderland
Chelsea will be looking to climb back into the top four tomorrow as they host newly promoted Sunderland at Stamford Bridge. The two sides face off for the first time in just under 10 years, when Antonio Conte’s blues smashed Sunderland 5-1 in a season that saw the black cats relegated from the top flight.
However there is a different energy and sense of anticipation around tomorrow’s fixture. Sunderland have started the season well, Taking 14 pts in 8 games and conceding just 6 goals along the way. Régis Le Bris’ side have the tied best 2nd defensive record in the league so far.
1u: Chelsea -1.5 (+100)
When Sunderland lose against the better sides, usually it is by more than a single goal. I’m expecting Chelsea to comfortably win this encounter.
Key Stats:
- Chelsea have won 7 in 8 against teams 10th-20th (where Sunderland will finish)
- Chelsea ML & over 2,5 goals has landed in 5/10 matches.
- Chelsea ML & BTTS no has landed in 5/10 matches.
- Sunderland have lost 8/10 of matches against top 10 sides.
- When Sunderland have lost in these games, on 11/14 occasions they have lost by more than one goal.
