Total Score: Odds: |
Pending |
| Largely driven by the in-form Cole Palmer, Chelsea’s offence has been in top gear recently. This has been them score 2+ goals in eight of their last nine games. Defensively they have been poor, however, which has seen them concede 2+ goals in five of their last six games. Nine of Chelsea’s last ten games went over 3.5 goals as a result. After a long run of high-scoring games, Arsenal have had a short run of lower-scoring fixtures, but I expect they will find the back of the net against Chelsea’s porous defence. Eight of the last twelve meetings between these two sides went over 2.5 goals, and that was back when Chelsea knew how to defend. | ||

Both Teams To Score: Odds: |
Loss |
| Both sides scored in 11 of Newcastle’s last 13 league games. Similarly, both sides scored in 12 of Tottenham’s last 14 league games. Newcastle have only been held scoreless in 2 of their 21 home games over the last twelve months. Tottenham have been held scoreless in just 1 of their 39 games over the same period. Both teams scored in ten of the last twelve meetings between Newcastle and Tottenham at St. James’ Park. | ||

Head-to-head: Odds: |
Loss |
| Fulham have been poor away, but strong at home this season. The Cottagers’ last two home games resulted in 3-0 wins over Brighton and Tottenham. Fulham have gone 9-2-1 as the home favourite over the last twelve months, while Newcastle have gone 1-0-5 as the away underdog. Fulham boast the 7th best home record this season (9-1-5), while Newcastle have the 14th best away record (3-2-9). Fulham have scored three goals in three of their last four home games. | ||

Head-to-head: Odds: |
Loss |
| Bournemouth bring 4-1-0 form into this game and they have won three consecutive fixtures. The Cherries have gone 3-0-0 as the away favourite over the last twelve months. The injury-ravaged Luton were forced to name a 16-year old on the bench midweek. They currently have eleven players out injured. Luton have a dire 3-3-9 home record this season and they bring 0-2-7 form into this game. | ||

Head-to-head: Odds: |
Win |
| This is primarily a bet against the hosts. Crystal Palace have gone 1-0-4 as the home underdog over the last twelve months and they have gone 1-2-7 at home against Manchester City since promotion. There hasn’t been much of a lift under their new manager and I’m happy to continue to bet against them so long as Michael Olise remains injured. | ||
James Bartman |
Asian Handicap: Odds: |
Win |
| Bournemouth are unbeaten in four games, while Crystal Palace have failed to win their last nine away games. The Eagles’ last away win came back in early November. Bournemouth have gone 8-2-1 as the favourite over the last twelve months, while Palace have gone 2-7-12 as the away underdog. Every team carries injuries at the moment, but the absence of Michael Olise for Crystal Palace is particularly impactful. | ||
James Bartman |
Head-to-head: Odds: |
Loss |
| For all of the criticisms levelled at Manchester United this season, they continue to get results. United have won five of their last seven games and they have gone 7-1-3 as the away favourite over the last twelve months. Brentford limp into this fixture in 0-1-5 form and they have gone 1-1-5 as the home underdog over the last twelve months. Brentford have gone 1-0-4 against Manchester United since promotion. | ||

Total Goals: Odds: |
Win |
| Fulham’s last six games went over 2.5 goals and Tottenham’s last ten games went over this total. Looking at a higher target, seven of Tottenham’s last nine games have gone over 3.5 goals. Tottenham’s average total score away from home this season is 3.8. | ||
James Bartman |
Total Goals: Odds: |
Loss |
| Crystal Palace have Eberechi Eze back from injury and new manager Oliver Glasner has signaled his intent to play attack-minded football. Palace’s last four home games went over 2.5 goals and three of those went over 3.5. Luton’s last six games went over 2.5 goals. Five of their last six went over 3.5 and three of their last five went over 4.5. Luton’s average away game this season has seen a total of 3.8 goals. | ||
James Bartman |
Total Goals: Odds: |
Win |
| Newcastle continue to both score and concede with regularity. Their last eight games went over 3.5 goals and five of their last seven went over 4.5. Newcastle’s average total score this season is 3.8, which is the highest in the league. Seven of Wolverhampton’s last ten games went over 2.5 goals. Their average total score this season is 3.1. | ||
James Bartman |
Head-to-head: Odds: |
Win |
| Bournemouth have gone 0-0-13 against Manchester City since promotion and ten of those defeats were by 2+ goal margins. In their last three meetings, Man City out-scored Bournemouth by a combined 14 goals to 2. City bring 7-1-0 league form into this game, while the Cherries are winless in their last six. | ||
James Bartman |
Head-to-head: Odds: |
Loss |
| Tottenham have won five in a row at home and they have gone 10-0-4 as the home favourite over the last twelve months. Spurs have been boosted by the return of captain Son Heung-min from the Asian Cup. Wolves will likely be without Matheus Cunha due to a hamstring injury. This is a huge blow given he had been involved in twelve goals in Wolves’ last twelve league games (7 goals, 5 assists). | ||

Head-to-head: Odds: |
Win |
| Crystal Palace are a Jekyll and Hyde team and it’s no secret as to the root cause. They are a mid-table side when Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise are both fit, and a relegation-quality side when one or both of those players isn’t available. At the time of writing Eze isn’t expected to play in this match and Olise is expected to be out for up to two months. The additional recent injury of Marc Guehi and the long-term injury to Cheick Doucoure further scuttles their chances. Chelsea are having a poor season by their standards, but they are still faring better than Palace and Chelsea boast a 12-game winning streak against the Eagles. Over the last decade, Chelsea have gone 8-0-2 at Selhurst Park. Chelsea do have the distraction of a midweek FA Cup clash against Aston Villa, but given Palace’s terrible form guide in the absence of Eze and Olise, I’m still happy to back the visitors. | ||

Total Goals: Odds: |
Loss |
| Brighton haven’t scored in three games and the last five games between these two fierce rivals went under 2.5 goals. Roy Hodgson’s focus will be on not losing, so this might not be a great game for the neutral. | ||
James Bartman |
Total Goals: Odds: |
Win |
| Both sides have been consistently involved in high-scoring games. Tottenham’s last six home games went over 2.5 goals and their last three games went over 3.5 goals. Brentford’s last four games went over 2.5 goals and their last three games went over 3.5 goals. Each of the last three meetings between Tottenham and Brentford went over 3.5 goals. | ||

Head-to-head: Odds: |
Loss |
| Sheffield United have gone 2-1-7 at home this season and their last home game saw them slump to a 2-3 defeat to Luton. West Ham have gone 4-1-0 as the away favourite over the last twelve months. They have kept four clean sheets coming into this game, which includes their 2-0 away win over Arsenal. | ||
James Bartman |
Head-to-head: Odds: |
Loss |
| Aston Villa have won five on the trot against Everton and the hosts limp into this fixture on the back of three consecutive defeats. Everton have gone 2-2-4 as the home underdog over the last twelve months, while Aston Villa have gone 4-2-2 as the away favourite. | ||
James Bartman |
Head-to-head: Odds: |

Their only draw during that run came against the red-hot Aston Villa. All four of Bournemouth’s wins during that run were by 2+ goal margins. The Cherries have scored 2+ goals in six of their last seven games. | ||
