With 11 of his 17 shouts coming in this season, Ste Tudor is on a roll. Here he highlights where the goals and three points will likely be found to get this weekend started.


Sheffield United v Everton (12:30) - Hardly a draw

The Blades have hosted Everton in the Premier League on five previous occasions and it's not exactly a fixture that conjures up goals, producing just five.

With half of their combined games this season ending 1-0 shall we just head straight to the over/under market and be done with it?

Maybe, but each side offering a league debut to a much-needed striker this weekend intrigues. Cameron Archer got a full hour under his belt in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday and he'll be charged with improving United's shots-per-game ratio that is the lowest in the top-flight. Beto meanwhile came on and made an instant impact by scoring at Doncaster and this is a worry. Everton signing an actual goal-scoring forward is one of the first signs of an approaching apocalypse.

With both sides presently pointless a draw is fancied at Bramall Lane, a result each can take positives from. It will be low-scoring, naturally.

Under 2.5 goals and Beto to have 1 or more shots in first half offers up 2.68/5

Brentford v Bournemouth (15:00) - Bee-plus at home

Bournemouth's tough start to 2023/24 continues with a trip to the Gtech where the Bees are typically a formidable proposition. In the Premier League, Thomas Frank's men have lost only once at home in two weeks' shy of a year, scoring in each of their last 15 in front of their own fans.

The bulk of these goals have been converted by Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo, who combined have bagged 10 in their last six outings. Add in an assist or three and they are compensating for the absence of Ivan Toney and then some.

Where Brentford let themselves down is a sustained failure to maintain leads on home soil, relinquishing winning positions on 15 occasions since the start of last term. Remarkably, they have already done this twice in recent weeks.

Which offers hope for a Cherries side that remain a work in progress under Andoni Iraola though all the signs are they're heading in the right direction. From shots to passes to ground covered, all their averages are significantly up since Iraola's arrival.

The suspicion is that the best of Bournemouth is still to come though. For now, Brentford's tremendous home form holds sway.

Back the Bees to win 2-1, 3-1, or 4-1 @ 7/24.50

Burnley v Tottenham (15:00) - Mad about the boy

A last-minute winner in the Carabao Cup midweek will be a fillip for Vincent Kompany's young side after finding it tough-going so far on their return to the Premier League.

Just 1.5 shots on target to date is a sharp decline on their 4.8 average in the Championship while the Clarets are now facing a shot every 5.4 minutes compared to 10.4 minutes last term.

All of which of course amounts to an obvious point, that it will take time for Burnley to find their feet at this higher level, especially with so many new signings to bed in.

There has however been no such period of acclimatization for Spurs under new boss Ange Postecoglou. With 10 high turnovers per 90 and 40 touches in the opposition box leading to 52 shots total and two goals per game, the Australian's front-foot mandate has been embraced from the off.

James Maddison is clearly the player to watch, with three goal involvements in three, but look out too for the revitalized Yves Bissouma. No other midfielder has made more progressive carries to this point.

Go for Maddison to score or assist @ 11/102.11

Chelsea v Nottingham Forest (15:00) - Roads to hell

It is mandatory to mention Forest's appalling away record, that dates back 13 months, but while last season's meagre tally of eight points picked up on the road is damning it's worth noting where the Tricky Trees have had to set their SatNav for at this early juncture.

First there was an opening day trip to the Emirates, then Old Trafford, and now they head to Stamford Bridge.

Can Steve Cooper's men spring a surprise in West London? With Taiwo Awoniyi up front anything is possible, the Nigerian scoring in each of his last seven league outings. It should also be said that Forest have been bright and adventurous in moments across their three games to date. It's individual mistakes at the back that has cost them.

As for Chelsea, making sense of their performances leads to an array of contradictions but certainly we can expect them to cause Forest problems down the flanks.

No team has committed to more crosses this season while in Raheem Sterling they possess a player reborn, 21 attempted take-ons testifying to that.

His team-mate Conor Gallagher meanwhile has flattered to deceive and maybe it's telling that he picked up cautions in both games vs Forest last season.

Back Gallagher to be shown a card @ 23/103.30

Bet now

Man City v Fulham (15:00) - Misson Impossible II

An opening day win at Goodison and an impressive draw at the Emirates shows that Fulham should not be under-estimated on their travels, and on that note we recall the corresponding fixture last season that remained 1-1 until the 95th minute.

It was a stoic performance that saw Andreas Perreira shine and the former United star will have to be instrumental again if the Cottagers are to trouble a City rearguard that rarely concede at the Etihad. In their last five outings at home the Blues have been breached just the once.

If new signings Matheus Nunes and Jeremy Doku feature there should be some fun to be had as they seek to endear themselves to the City faithful. No player in the Premier League has completed more dribbles this season than the former, while Doku completed nine dribbles in just 111 minutes of action prior to joining.

Much more likely though, with Guardiola absent as he convalesces from back surgery, a tried and trusted formula will be stuck to and that means Julian Alvarez buzzing around Erling Haaland, with Phil Foden deployed as a difference-maker.

Alvarez has created 12 chances to date, four for the Striking Viking who has not scored at home for 226 minutes. For him that's positively a drought.

Back City to win, Man City most corners, and Fulham most cards as an #OddsOnThat bet @ 10/111.91

Brighton v Newcastle (17:30) - Bouncebackability

Both teams suffered a shock to their systems last weekend, the Magpies somehow managing to contrive to lose from a winning position against ten-man Liverpool, while Brighton found themselves three down to West Ham in one of the oddest games for some time.

Yet still there are so many positives for each side to take into this, an encounter that has the potential to be an eventful classic.

For the visitors, Anthony Gordon has carried over his form from the summer, voted the Player of the Tournament at the Under 21 Euros. With three goal involvements to his name, the winger may play a prominent role with Newcastle looking to hit on the break.

For the Seagulls, the eternally under-rated Pascal Gross has created a league-high 14 chances already this term, while Solly March has fired three in three.

Elsewhere on site, Lewis Jones is backing a home win and who can blame him given the astonishing numbers Brighton have racked up at this early juncture. Their 30 shots on target is the most after three games in the Premier League in over a decade.

Back both goalkeepers to make a save in each half @ 1/12.00
