Chelsea vs Fulham
Sunday 2nd December 2018
FA Premier League, Stamford Bridge

Live on Sky Sports Premier League HD – Kick-Off: 12:00 GMT

Chelsea vs Fulham – the host will be hoping to bounce back after their last outing in the competition, where they lost 3-1 to Spurs. They are also possibly without talisman Eden Hazard for this one. Fulham will be wanting to climb off the bottom spot and use momentum after Claudio Ranieri’s first victory as Cottagers boss.

Chelsea are priced at a short 1/5 to win this match by SkyBet. They enter this match on the back of a 4-0 drubbing of PAOK in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday night. French Striker Olivier Giroud scored twice in the first half to set the tone for the match. He is likely to start with the possible absence of Eden Hazard and has four in his last three in all competitions. He is 3/1 to score first.

Defensively Chelsea have not been quite the titans they usually are, with six conceded in their last five games. However, they will feel confident they can keep the Premier League’s bottom club quiet. They are priced at 1/1 to win to nil.

The visitors are priced at a huge 12/1 to pull off a miracle at Stamford Bridge. They managed their second win of the season over Southampton in their previous outing. On the scoresheet with Aleksander Mitrovic who now has seven goals and one assist. He is the joint highest scoring attacker in the bottom half. The Serbian is 11/4 to score anytime.

Fulham have leaked goals this season, with the worst defensive record in the league. However, with the introduction of Ranieri in the hot seat, they are likely to tighten up at the back. But Chelsea pose such a threat that it is unlikely they will keep them out. SkyBet are offering 25/1 for Fulham to win and BTTS.

The referee at Stamford Bridge will be Craig Pawson. The official is the strictest in the whole division, with an average of 53.9 booking points from his 9 league matches.

Chelsea v Fulham will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Premier League HD and kicks off at 12:00 GMT.

Prediction: Chelsea 2 – 0 Fulham

The hosts have too much quality however Hazard is a big miss.

SkyBet Championship, Riverside Lane

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

Middlesbrough will host Aston Villa in SkyBet Championship action this Saturday.

The hosts are currently third in the league and enter the match on the back of a frustrating draw with Preston. Even more frustrated than their opponents, Aston Villa will be hoping their goal scoring antics can give them three points as their amazing 5-5 draw with Nottingham Forest has left them determined to tighten up at the back.

The Tyneside hosts are priced at 6/5 by SkyBet. Middlesbrough are unbeaten in their last seven league matches and will be hoping to make it eight but face their toughest test of that impressive run. Britt Assombolonga is the top scorer for the side with five league goals. The Congo international is 4/1 to score first however Jordan Hugill has been on fire in recent matches with three goals in three matches. He is also 4/1 to score first.

They also boast the best defensive record in the division. With just 10 goals conceded in 19 matches it’s hard to not be tempted by odds of 11/4 to for them to win to nil.

Aston Villa are a very tempting 23/10 to win this match. Despite entering the match on the end of a draw, they will feel confident after scoring five goals. Four of those goals came from Tammy Abraham who is now on 10 goals for the season. The loanee striker is 2/1 to score anytime. Manager Dean Smith will be hoping to make amends against Middlesbrough as he is yet to win against them in four attempts.

Smith will be trying to focus on defensive tactics for this match as they have the worst defence in the top half of the league. They have conceded 2.3 goals per match on average. SkyBet have priced them at 5/4 to concede 2+ goals.

The referee for this match will be Andy Davies. The official hasn’t been shy reaching for his pocket this season with an average of 43.2 booking points in his 11 Championship matches.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Inter Milan – Match Preview

Tottenham Hotspur vs Inter Milan
Tuesday 18th September 2018, Wembley Stadium
UEFA Champions League – Group B Qualifier 

BT Sport 3 – 20:00 GMT.

Tottenham will host Inter Milan in UEFA Champions League action as they must win to keep their European dreams alive.

Wembley Stadium will be the stage as Mauricio Pochettino’s side will need all three points in Group B. The visitors will be a tough outfit for the North London club, who drew 1-1 with Group leaders Barcelona in their last Champions League match.

Tottenham are favourites for this match and are priced at 3/4 by SkyBet. They enter the match on the back of an enthralling 3-1 victory over rivals Chelsea in the Premier League. However, their odds don’t reflect their performances in this competition as they have only managed four points from four matches. Their previous match was a late brace from Harry Kane revive Spurs as they narrowly defeated PSV at home. Kane is the star man at Wembley, scoring plenty of times for club and country. He is priced at 11/4 to break the deadlock.

Kane will be joined by an impressive attacking arsenal that also contains Christian Eriksen. The Dane has been in top form of late and is a danger from set pieces. Eriksen is 11/4 to score anytime.

Spurs have leaked goals in this competition with nine conceded from four matches. The last time these two faced, they conceded two in the last five minutes to Mauro Icardi and Matias Vecino. For Spurs to win and both teams to score, SkyBet are offering 21/10.

Inter Milan enter this match knowing a win would see them qualify and are priced at 10/3 to do so. Their previous UCL match saw them draw with Barcelona as talisman Mauro Icardi grabbed his third of the competition. The Argentinian caused many issues for Spurs in their previous encounter and is 11/2 to score first – a tempting price.

Despite only scoring five goals from four appearances, the Italian’s defence has been solid with five goals conceded. If they can silence the Spurs team and crowd and keep a clean sheet, then you could be getting odds of 5/1 on SkyBet for backing it.

The referee for this match will be Cüneyt Çakır. The Turkish official is a no-nonsense style referee so expect cards.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Inter Milan will be televised live in the UK on BT Sport 3 and kicks off at 20:00.

Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2 – 1 Inter Milan

The home side are fortunate to have the attacking players they do in a situation like this. Tough match to call.
