Manchester City vs Southampton
Sunday 4th
 November 2018
FA Premier League, The Etihad Stadium

Kick-Off: 15:00 GMT

Manchester City and Southampton will lock horns this weekend in Premier League action.

Both sides are operating at different ends of the table. The hosts currently top the league, with eight wins from ten matches. Meanwhile the visitors are checking their shoulders with only one win all season so far.

Manchester City are clear favourites for this one, priced at 1/9 by SkyBet. The league leaders will also have the added advantage of playing in front of a home crowd, an advantage that has seen them score twice or more in every home match this season. Amongst the goals has been Sergio Aguero. The striker has already scored six goals this season and was unfortunate to not score in their last outing. The Argentinian is 9/4 to open the scoring.

Their impressive home form has seen them score 18 goals from five matches. The score 3+ goals, SkyBet are offering odds of 4/9. In those five home matches they have also only conceded twice. City are at great odds to win to nil priced at 8/13.

Southampton are priced at a huge 20/1 to win this Sunday. They are currently only two points from the drop zone and have been their usual frustrating selves for since the opening day. With their only win coming away at Crystal Palace and goals looking scarce, the saints will be hoping for a confidence boost. Most likely to bag for his side and having scored 50% of all their goals this season is Danny Ings. The ex-Liverpool man has scored three goals this campaign and is 10/3 to score anytime.

Southampton have failed to score in their last five matches and have conceded eight in the process. City have slaughtered a fair few teams already with big score lines and I could see this weekend being another visit to the slaughterhouse. If you think the Saints are capable of pulling off a miracle then you’ll be tempted to back Southampton to win and both teams to score at 50/1.

The referee for this match will be Lee Mason. The official has averaged 38 booking points from his five Premier League matches.

Manchester City vs Southampton will not be televised in the UK and kicks off at 15:00. Highlights can be watched tonight on BBC 1 Match of the Day 2.

Prediction: Manchester City 4 – 0 Southampton.

– They have far too much quality to drop any points this Sunday.

Chelsea vs Crystal Palace
Sunday 4th
 November 2018
FA Premier League, Stamford Bridge

Live on Sky Sports Premier League – Kick-Off: 16:00 GMT

Chelsea vs Crystal Palace – Mauricio Sarri is searching for records as his Chelsea team host Crystal Palace hoping to go eleven league matches unbeaten.

Sarri would become the first Chelsea manager to achieve that feat should The Blues avoid defeat in this London derby. Since losing the Community Shield to Manchester City, Chelsea are undefeated in all competitions too.

That streak was put to the test on Wednesday, however. There was a reunion for club legend Frank Lampard as he brought his Derby County team to Stamford Bridge. A rotated Chelsea team just about saw off the plucky efforts of the Championship side, winning 3-2 and securing a place in the last eight of the Carabao Cup.

Back to Premier League matters and a thumping 4-0 win at Burnley last week kept Chelsea in third and just two points away from both Liverpool and top-of-the-table Man City. For Sarri the truly pleasing aspect will be how players have stepped up in the absence of Eden Hazard, with Ross Barkley, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Willian all shining of late. Alvaro Morata has even ended his poor start with three goals in his last four.

This is the most points a team in third has ever had at this stage of the season in the Premier League. No one can deny Chelsea’s excellent start. Only City (7) and Liverpool (6) have kept more clean sheets (5) and only Arsenal have scored two or more goals in more matches (9) than The Blues (8).

Palace have not fared so well, enduring a more challenging start to the season. Whilst in a not-catastrophic 14th position, The Eagles are already seven points away from 10th place Wolves, which would have surely been the goal this season.

A very poor run of form has seen Roy Hodgson’s side only pick up one victory since the opening day of the season, and not win in the last five league games. In the last four Palace have lost to similar-standing sides such as Bournemouth, Wolves and Everton too which is a cause for concern. A midweek exit in the Carabao Cup to Middlesbrough will not help either.

There is cause for optimism though, as Palace can count themselves unlucky to not pick up all three points against Arsenal last week. Moreover, The Eagles surprisingly have a pretty decent record against Chelsea, winning three of the last six and two of the last three at Stamford Bridge.

Also, only one of Chelsea’s five clean sheets have come at home this season so the defence is there to be attacked. If Wilfried Zaha is on form, as he usually is these days, there is no reason to doubt that Palace will get opportunities. Palace have also been better away from home in the league, with 75% of their points and 71% of their goals won more on their travels. Only the top six have more away wins.

Well-known referee Michael Oliver will be taking charge of this one, for his first Chelsea game of the season. The Englishman was the man in the middle when Chelsea beat Manchester United to win the FA Cup last season. This will be Oliver’s tenth Premier League game of the season, and thirteenth in total, giving out 38 yellows and a very high three red cards in that time.

One would still expect an on-form Chelsea to put this Palace team to the sword, however. Scoring goals for fun, teams much stronger than Crystal Palace will struggle to keep Chelsea out.

Chelsea vs Crystal Palace will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event with kick off at 16:00 GMT.

Stoke City vs Middlesbrough
Saturday 3rd
 November 2018
SkyBet Championship, BET365 Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Football – Kick-Off: 17:30 GMT

Stoke and Middlesbrough will lock horns this weekend in SkyBet Championship action.

Both sides are unbeaten in four of their last five league matches and are both within the big cluster of clubs in the top half of the league. Middlesbrough enter the match on the back end of a 1-0 win over Premier League Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup. Meanwhile, the hosts will be looking to build on their 1-0 win over Bristol City in the league.

Stoke are priced at 7/5 to claim victory on home turf by SkyBet. Stoke have the most expensive squad in the league (£133m) but are yet to transition this wealth into any sort of form. The standout performer for the Potters is striker Benik Afobe. He has managed four goals and two assists for Gary Rowett’s side and is price boosted at 6/1 to score first.

The home side have won three of their last five matches to nil. SkyBet have priced them at 3/1 to do it again.

Middlesbrough are priced at 2/1 to win this Saturday evening. They are operating in the top three for much of the season and are third entering this fixture. They have only lost two all season thanks to their sturdy defence. Six of their eight away matches have only seen one team score as they are a tough cookie to crack. With clean sheets in 60% of their matches, SkyBet have priced them at 9/4 to keep another one.

Going forward, striker Britt Assombolonga has been their standout goal scorer with five to his name. SkyBet have price boosted him from 5/1 to a massive 7/1 to open the scoring.

The referee for this match will be Robert Jones. The official has averaged 38.5 booking points in his 10 Championship matches.

The match will be televised on Sky Sports Main Event HD and kicks off at 17:30.

Prediction: Stoke City 0 – 1 Middlesbrough

Stoke have crumbled against tough opposition and Middlesbrough need a league win.

Arsenal vs Liverpool
Saturday 3rd
 November 2018
FA Premier League, The Emirates Stadium

Live on BT Sport 1 – Kick-Off: 17:30 GMT

Arsenal vs Liverpool – Two of the Premier League’s in-form sides go head to head as Arsenal host Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

The Gunners are unbeaten in 13 games, a run extended by their 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace last weekend. The draw ended a run of 11 straight wins for Unai Emery’s side after two Luka Milivojevic penalties earned Palace a point. Arsenal currently sit in fourth, just four points behind league leaders Manchester City and Liverpool. Although Arsenal have been in phenomenal form, they’ve proven to be great value for BTTS backers. In 11 of their last 14 games in all competition, both teams have scored in the Gunners games. That shows they are still vulnerable defensively, which Liverpool will be hoping to exploit.

Pierre Emerick Aubameyang continued his hot streak in front of goal at Selhurst Park with another goal. That strike was his ninth of the campaign, in just 13 appearances. The Gunners also sealed their spot in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup with a nervy 2-1 win over Blackpool. That win has set up a North London Derby with Tottenham Hotspur for a place in the last four.

Liverpool romped to a 4-1 win over Cardiff City last weekend. Mohamad Salah grabbed his second goal in as many games at the weekend. Sadio Mane also grabbed a brace as Liverpool’s front three rediscovered their scintillating form of last season. The Reds conceded just their fourth goal of the campaign against Cardiff. At this stage last campaign, the Reds had leaked 16 goals, four times their current amount. That highlights the improvements in the Reds defence, mainly thanks Virgil van Dijk and Alisson.

Andre Marriner is the referee for this game. The Englishman has taken charge of nine top-flight games this season, accumulating an average booking points total of 34.4. As a result, I would recommend a maximum of 50+ total points for this fixture.

Arsenal and Liverpool are both prolific in attack, whilst the Gunners are also leaky at the back. Jurgen Klopp’s side are also unbeaten in the league this season, which may tip the match in their favour.

Where to watch the game – Arsenal vs Liverpool will be televised live in the UK on BT Sport 1 with kick off at 17:30 GMT.

Prediction: Arsenal 1-2 Liverpool

Suggested Tips – Arsenal vs Liverpool – (BET365)

Suggested Tips – Arsenal vs Liverpool – (SKYBET)

  • Both Players to Score – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang & Sadio Mane – 8/1.

Bournemouth vs Manchester United
Saturday 3rd
 November 2018
FA Premier League, The Vitality Stadium

Live on BT Sport 1 – Kick-Off: 12:30 GMT

Bournemouth vs Manchester United: Manchester United will be looking to continue their climb up the Premier League table when they face in-form Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

The Red Devils climbed up to eighth in the table with a 2-1 win over Everton at Old Trafford. Anthony Martial continued his recent form with the winning goal. The Frenchman now has four goals in his last five games, which saw him pick up United’s player of the month award. His goals have been vital, given Romelu Lukaku’s recent goal drought. The Belgian was dropped against the Toffees, with Marcus Rashford preferred upfront. Lukaku now has a fight to regain his starting spot, having gone nine games without a goal for his club. Jose Mourinho’s side are without a win away from home in their last two games and need to put it right to continue their assault on the top four.

With tricky trips to Juventus in the Champions League and Manchester City next weekend looming, it’s vital that United kick-start a crucial week in style. A strong performance and result could give the team the confidence needed to pick up much-needed results in their next two fixtures.

Bournemouth continued their fine form with two wins this week. On Saturday, they impressed with a 3-0 away win at Fulham, before moving into the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup with a win over Norwich City. Callum Wilson grabbed another brace last weekend to take him on to six goals for the season. His partnership with Josh King has been one of the strongest outside of the top six this season, which makes them a force against any sides defence.

Paul Tierney is the referee for Saturday’s early kick-off. The Englishman has officiated five games in the top flight this season, accumulating an average booking points total of 32. As a result, I would recommend a maximum of 50+ booking points for this fixture.

This game is tough to predict, given Manchester United’s fluctuating form. Bournemouth have been strong this season, especially at home. One thing is for sure, there will be goals, and as a result, I’m going for a score draw.

Where can I watch the game: On TV in the UK – Bournemouth vs Manchester United will be televised on BT Sport 1 with kick off at 12:30PM.

Predictions: Bournemouth 2-2 Manchester United

  • To Score and Win – Anthony Martial to score & Manchester United win – 7/2.

Aston Villa vs Bolton Wanderers
Friday 2nd
 November 2018
SkyBet Championship, Villa Park

Live on Sky Sports Football – Kick-Off: 19:45 GMT

Aston Villa vs Bolton Wanderers: Aston Villa will be looking to bounce back from back to back defeats when they host Bolton Wanderers at Villa Park.

After winning his first game in charge at home to Swansea City, Dean Smith has watched his side lose twice on the road. Those defeats against Norwich and QPR were by just a one-goal margin, which highlights the competitive nature of the division. Those defeats have left Villa 17th in the table, with 18 points from their 15 games. Remarkably, Villa are just three points above the drop zone, but seven off the play-offs. With that in mind, Smith needs a favourable run of results sooner rather than later. Whilst Smith assesses his squad Villa need to pick up more points. At the moment, they seem to have too many options in attack, which makes it hard to know what their best formation or combinations are.

Tammy Abraham has led the line well, scoring four goals in ten games. Jonathan Kodjia, on the other hand, has struggled with just four goals in 16 appearances in all competitions. With the arrival of Abraham, Kodjia has been forced out wide, which is why Villa aren’t seeing the best of him. That again illustrates their issue, with such an abundance of attackers.

Bolton are without a win in five games ahead of this game. In truth, their recent form has been awful, with just one victory in their last 11 league outings. Away from home, they are without a win since 18th September, a run stretching five games. Defeat against fellow struggler Hull City at home was a blow last weekend, which has cranked up the pressure on Phil Parkinson. Thanks to a good start to the season, Bolton sit in 19th but are only two points above the drop zone.

Oliver Langford is the referee for this game. The Englishman has an average booking points total of 22.2, accumulated over nine second-tier matches this season. Therefore, I would recommend a maximum of 40+ total points for this fixture.

Aston Villa are due a win after tow disappointing display. Bolton are in wretched form, which makes this quite an easy prediction.

Aston Villa vs Bolton Wanderers will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Football with kick off at 19:45.

Prediction: Aston Villa 2-0 Bolton Wanderers

Suggested Tips – Aston Villa vs Bolton Wanderers – (BET365):

  • Correct score: Aston Villa win 2-0 – (link no longer available).
  • First Goalscorer – Tammy Abraham – (link no longer available).

Suggested Tips – Aston Villa vs Derby County – (SKYBET):

  • Price Boost – Player to score outside the area – Jack Grealish to score outside the penalty area – 8/1.
  • Popular RequestABets – Jonathan Kodjia and Josh Magennir – 13/2.

Chelsea vs Derby County
Wednesday 31st
 October 2018
Carabao Cup, Fourth Round, Stamford Bridge

Live on Sky Sports Football – Kick-Off: 19:45 GMT

Chelsea vs Derby County – The match will mark a special occasion for Derby manager Frank Lampard who will return to Stamford Bridge for the first time in the managerial seat.

He takes his side to an undefeated Premier League side with seven wins from ten matches. They also beat Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool in the third round to qualify. Lampard’s side have been in stellar form of late, with wins over Sheffield United and West Brom as well as an unfortunate draw with Middlesbrough in the past week. They dramatically knocked out Manchester United in the shock of the third round to qualify.

The Premier League outfit are favourites for this encounter, as SkyBet have priced them at 1/4. Although it is unclear whether they will line-up in their full-strength side, a possible starter to watch out for is Ruben Loftus-Cheek. The attacking midfielder bagged his first hat-trick in Chelsea blue last week in the UEFA Europa League against BATE. In top form, he is priced at 13/8 to score anytime.

Chelsea’s defensive efforts have also been impressive so far this season. They have conceded only seven goals in 10 league matches and will feel confident ahead of keeping a clean sheet due to facing a lower league side. Chelsea to win to nil is priced at a very tempting 10/11.

Derby County will be hoping to slay another dragon in the fourth round and are priced at 10/1 to do so. Frank Lampard has got a lot of fans excited with their attacking style of play and he seems to be having a positive effect on many of his players. Jack Marriot has been a breath of fresh air up front along with Tom Lawrence behind him. The Welsh winger has already scored four league goals this season and is 18/1 to give his side the lead this Wednesday. Harry Wilson stole the headlines from their previous round with a sublime free-kick to equalise the match. Wilson is 13/2 to score anytime and is a real danger from set pieces.

The referee for this match will be Jonathan Moss. Moss has averaged 40.6 booking points in his 8 Premier League matches. Expect cards this could be a feisty one.

Chelsea vs Derby County will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and kicks off at 19:45.

Prediction: Chelsea 2 – 0 Derby County

– Chelsea have too much quality and depth and should put a dampener on Lampard’s return.

Suggested tips – Chelsea vs Derby County – (SKYBET):

  • Correct Score – Chelsea win 2-0 – 8/1.
  • Popular RequestABet – Loftus Cheek to score, Chelsea to win and Huddlestone to be carded.- 12/1.
  • RequestABet Specials up to 10/1 – Chelsea to score 2+ Goals and 7+ Chelsea corners – 11/8.
  • RequestABet Specials up to 10/1 – 1+ corner each team in each half and 10+ booking points each team – 15/8.

Burton Albion vs Nottingham Forest
Tuesday 30th
 October 2018
Carabao Cup, Fourth Round, Pirelli Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Football – Kick-Off: 19:45 GMT

The East Midlands do battle as Burton Albion host Nottingham Forest in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

Nigel Clough scored 131 goals for Forest, being their second highest goal scorer in history, but he leads his Burton Albion side against the team his father made history with.

The Brewers have already beaten Premier League Burnley and Aston Villa to get to this stage, and the cup run has been exciting the fans. This game will only intensify that excitement. Burton Albion would love to get one over on Notts Forest.

After extending beyond their means in the Championship, where Burton did exceptionally well to survive for one year, League One is proving a difficult task. They are 16th, only winning two of the last seven matches. Perilously close to the relegation zone with just points separating.

Aitor Karanka’s Forest are faring much better. 7th, and just two points away from the play-off places, Forest fans are dreaming of what could be. Forest have only lost one of the last nine games, earning a 1-1 draw at second-placed Leeds last time out.

The Reds have beaten Bury, Premier League Newcastle United and Stoke City to get to this point. A cup run would equally mean a lot to the of-recent deprived fans of the club.

Both sides will be quite desperate to win this one, dreaming of potentially facing a massive team should they progress. As cup ties go, this will be a tasty affair.

Andy Davies is the man in the middle. This will be his 19th game of the season, racking up a rather large 70 yellow cards and two reds this term.

Burton Albion vs Nottingham Forest will be televised on Sky Sports Football HD and will kick off at 19:45.

Prediction – Burton Albion 1-2 Nottingham Forest

Suggested tips – Burton Albion vs Nottingham Forest – (SKYBET):

  • Correct Score – Nottingham Forest win 2-1 – 8/1.
  • First Goalscorer – Lewis Grabban – 5/1.
  • Price Boost – Correct Score – Nottingham Forest win 3-1 – 20/1.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City
Monday 29th
 October 2018
FA Premier League, Wembley Stadium

Live on Sky Sports Main Event – Kick-Off: 20:00 GMT

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City – Spurs will face off with fellow top six side Manchester City in Premier League action this Monday night.

The hosts are fresh from their Champions League frustrations in Holland. A red card for Hugo Lloris and late PSV equaliser has left their European campaign in in doubt. Meanwhile, Man City enter the match on the back of a 3-0 win against Shaktar Donetsk and a 5-0 thumping of Burnley.

Spurs are priced 16/5 to get a win in front of a home crowd. They are currently 5thwith 21 points from 9 matches. They are only two points behind their opponents, with a win potentially reshaping the top six. The obvious goal threat for the home side is Harry Kane and already has five goals and one assist. For the World Cup golden boot winner to score first, SkyBet are offering 7/2.

Tottenham’s home form has seen them score five from three games. They will face the toughest defence the league has to offer but if they can break through more than once then you can get odds of 7/4 to score 2+ goals.

Manchester City are the current champions and are top of the league on goal difference. They are priced at 3/4 to come out with a win here but face a tough side. It’s clear that City have the attacking prowess to walk over any team in the league and the re-introduction of Kevin De Bruyne only improves their quality. Their long serving talisman Sergio Aguero currently has 6 goals and two assists and is his usual clinical self. Raheem Sterling has also gone from strength to strength with four goals to show for himself. You can get a decent price of 5/1 for both of them to find the back of the net.

The referee for this match will be Kevin Friend. From the officials six matches, he has averaged 28.3 booking points. I’d expect cards in this match, there usually are a lot of cards when the top six sides meet.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City will be televised on Sky Sports Main Event HD and kicks off at 20:00.

Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 0 – 2 Manchester City

– They’ve been ruthless in recent showings whilst Spurs haven’t been their usual self in recent performances.

Suggested Tips – Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City – (BET365)

  • Correct score – Manchester City win 2-0 – (link no longer available).

Suggested Tips – Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City – (SKYBET)

Manchester United vs Everton
Sunday 28th
 October 2018
FA Premier League, Old Trafford

Live on Sky Sports Main Event – Kick-Off: 16:00 GMT

Manchester Utd vs Everton – The Red Devils will be looking to bounce back from their defeat in midweek against Juventus when they take on Everton at Old Trafford.

Jose Mourinho’s men suffered a 1-0 defeat to the Italian giants on Tuesday thanks to Paulo Dybala’s first-half strike. That left United with four points from their opening three games, whereas Juventus have nine. They’re now embroiled in a two-team battle with Valencia for second spot. If they failed to qualify for the knockout rounds it would only further increase the pressure on Mourinho. Anthony Martial followed up his two goals at Stamford Bridge on Sunday with another eye-catching performance. The Frenchman seems to be finally building some form under Mourinho. This is underlined by the fact Mourinho named an unnamed side against Juventus for the first time in 46 matches. That highlights the lack of consistency at United, and why so many of their players are struggling to build momentum.

Everton recorded a third consecutive win last weekend after beating Crystal Palace 2-0. Two late goals, from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Cenk Tosun, sealed the victory for Marco Silva’s side. Everton have struggled for a goal-scoring striker this season, with Richarlison often used in that position. The Brazilian forward certainly has an eye for goal, but is not a natural number nine, at the age of only 21-years-old. Calvert-Lewin, similarly, is still finding his feet as a central striker, whilst Tosun’s form has been hit and miss. Gylfi Sigurdsson has been their main source of goals, alongside Richarlison, highlighting that it is very much an area to be strengthened.

Jonathan Moss is the referee for this game. The Englishman has officiated seven top-flight games this season, accumulating an average of 42.1 booking points this season. As a result, I would recommend a maximum of 60+ booking points for this fixture.

This will be a tough match for United. Everton are on a decent run and do have players that can hurt them on the counter-attack. However, they have improved in recent matches, so I think they will edge a very tight encounter.

Manchester United vs Everton will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event with kick off at 16:00 GMT.

Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Everton
