Two of their last three league away wins have come when The Blades have scored first. They’re priced at 21/10 to be winning at half time.

Huddersfield vs Liverpool
Saturday 20th October 2018
FA Premier League, Kirklees Stadium

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

Huddersfield vs Liverpool – both clubs are at different ends of the table, with the hosts struggling to find their first win of the campaign. Meanwhile the visitors are yet to lose a match with six wins and two draws from eight matches. It’s clear who the favourites are for this one.

Huddersfield have a tough afternoon in for them, as SkyBet have priced them at 9/1 to cause a huge upset. This match will mark the third time that former assistant to Jurgen Klopp, David Wagner, will be battling it out against his old master. They haven’t been in great form at home as of late. The terriers haven’t even managed to score a goal in front of a home crowd yet. SkyBet have priced them at EVENS to manage this feat.

All eyes are turning to Laurent Depoitre to get them out of this rut, however the striker has been on a goal drought himself with his last professional goal being score in May.

The visitors are in flying form without a loss so far this season. SkyBet have priced them at 1/3. Goals have not been an issue for Liverpool with 15 scored in their eight matches. The front three has been firing on all cylinders yet again. Sadio Mane has four goals, Mo Salah has three whilst Daniel Sturridge and Roberto Firmino both have two each. Firmino has been price boosted to 5/1 to score first.

Despite their dominant attacking prowess, Liverpool have not produced as many corners as expected this season. They’ve won five corners or less in six of their eight league matches. They’re priced at 1/5 to have more corners. However, their backline has been immense so far. They’ve only conceded three times and they certainly won’t face their toughest test this weekend. Liverpool are priced at 10/11 to win to nil.

The referee for this match will be Michael Oliver. The official has averaged 31.4 booking points in his 7 Premier League matches.

Huddersfield vs Liverpool will be televised on BT Sport 1 and kicks off at 17:30.

Prediction: Huddersfield 0 – 3 Liverpool

– Klopp’s men should be in for an easy three points against a struggling Huddersfield side. The fact its price boosted makes it even more worth backing.

Suggested Tips – Huddersfield vs Liverpool – (BET365)

  • Correct score, Liverpool 3-0 – (link no longer available).

Suggested Tips – Huddersfield vs Liverpool – (SKYBET)

  • Correct Score Group Betting – Liverpool to win 3-0, 3-1, 3-2 – 10/3.
  • RequestABet – Liverpool to win, BTTS, 12+ match corners, and 40+ match booking points  – 20/1.
  • Player to score a header – Virgil van Dijk – 20/1.

Southampton vs Chelsea – Match Preview

Southampton vs Chelsea
Sunday 7th October 2018
FA Premier League, St Mary’s Stadium

Live on Sky Sport Premier League – Kick-Off: 14:15 GMT

Southampton vs Chelsea is this Sunday’s early–afternoon Premier league action with the visitors boosting a undefeated record.

The two teams have fared differently so far this season, at opposite ends of the table. Chelsea have won five and drawn two of their seven outings whilst the Saints have only managed the one win, two draws and four losses.

Chelsea are clear favourites for this one, priced at 8/13 by SkyBet. Maurizio Sarri has given new life to Chelsea as their recent performances have shown. Their two recent matches both against Liverpool have made a statement that they can be title contenders; winning one and drawing the other. Eden Hazard has been in tremendous form since the birth of the season. The Belgian is the league’s top scorer with six goals and two assists already. Clearly on top form, SkyBet are offering 4/1 for him to break the deadlock – very good odds.

Chelsea have also become much more rigid at the back. They have conceded five goals so far this season and only twice in one match. Great odds on Chelsea to win to nil at 7/4.

Southampton haven’t had the best of times so far this season. They are currently 16thin the table with one win from seven. SkyBet have priced them at 9/2 to cause an upset this Super Sunday. One promising sign for the Saints was the addition of striker Danny Ings from Liverpool. Ings has netted three of their six goals this season and is 9/4 to score anytime this weekend. Their lack in depth is a worrying sign however and could see them really struggle this weekend.

The referee for this match will be Craig Pawson. Pawson has not been shy at all this season, averaging 55 booking points in his 5 Premier League matches. The highest of any other referee.

Southampton vs Chelsea will be televised live in the UK on Sky Sports Premier League HD and kicks off at 14:15 GMT.

Prediction: Southampton 0 – 2 Chelsea.

– This should be a routine victory for Chelsea. Their attacking prowess will be too much for Southampton’s defence.

Suggested Tips – Southampton vs Chelsea – (BET365)

  • Correct score: Chelsea to win 2-0 – (link no longer available).

Suggested Tips – Southampton vs Chelsea – (SKYBET)

  • First Goalscorer – Eden Hazard  – 4/1.
