Fulham v Aston Villa

Tielemans is not priced up like the rest

The Betfair Bet:

Ipswich Town v Everton

McKenna is getting the best out of Delap

The Opta Stat:

"Liam Delap has scored four goals in his last five Premier League games for Ipswich, including three in his last two. He could become the fifth different player to score in three in a row for the club in the competition, while at the age of 21 he would be the youngest to do so. Indeed, he's had seven shots on target in his last five games, including 2+ in three of those."

Back Liam Delap to have 2 or more shots on target @ 23/103.30

Manchester United v Brentford

It will be one of Mbeumo's biggest prices of the season

The Opta Stat:

"Bryan Mbeumo has scored six goals in his seven Premier League games this season, netting in each of his last three appearances. His next goal or assist will see him become the first Brentford player to register 50 Premier League goal involvements (currently 28 goals, 21 assists)."

The Betfair Bet:

Back Bryan Mbeumo to score anytime @ 13/53.60

Newcastle United v Brighton & Hove Albion

Can we find a bet in the quirk?

The Opta Stat:

"No team has conceded fewer second half goals than Brighton in the Premier League this season (2), with their latest goal against coming in the 70^th minute (vs Nottingham Forest). However, opponents Newcastle have also shipped a joint-low two goals after half time."

The Betfair Bet:

Back the first half to have the most goals of either half 9/43.25

Southampton v Leicester City

They hate Vardy at St Mary's

The Opta Stat:

"Leicester striker Jamie Vardy has been involved in 12 goals against Southampton in his English league career (8 goals, 4 assists) - against no side has he had a hand in more. Six of these eight goals have come at St Mary's Stadium, including a hat-trick in October 2019. Indeed, Leicester captain Jamie Vardy has scored two goals from five shots in the Premier League this season - no player to have had at least five attempts has a better conversion rate than Vardy (40%)."

The Betfair Bet:

Back Jamie Vardy to score 2 or more goals @ 14/115.00

Bournemouth v Arsenal

Short Arsenal can be boosted to score goals

"Since Bournemouth returned to the Premier League in 2022, Arsenal have won all four of their meetings with the Cherries by an aggregate score 13-2, netting 3+ goals each time. Indeed, the Gunners have netted 3+ goals in three of their last four games."

The Betfair Bet:

Back Over 2.5 Arsenal goals @ 2/13.00

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Manchester City

At odds-against, sounds like a Bet Builder leg if i've ever seen one

Liverpool v Chelsea

The Opta Stat:

"Eight of the last nine meetings between Liverpool and Chelsea have finished level, with five of the last six all ending 0-0 (after 90 minutes). Indeed, Liverpool have conceded the fewest goals (2), kept the most clean sheets (5), and have the lowest expected goals against figure (5.2) of any side in the Premier League this season."

The Betfair Bet:

Nottingham Forest v Crystal Palace

Pre season you'd have thought the odds would be other way around

The Opta Stat:

"In all competitions, Nottingham Forest are winless in seven games at the City Ground (D4 L3). It's their longest run without a home win since October 2020 (also 7), while they last went longer in February 2012 (8), a run which included a 0-1 defeat to Crystal Palace in the Championship."

The Betfair Bet:

Back Crystal Palace to win at Nottingham Forest @ 2/13.00
