After a weekend that tightened things at the top, the Premier League moves into a midweek schedule with all 20 teams in action.
Arsenal were unable to take full advantage of Moises Caicedo’s first-half red card against Chelsea, having to settle for a point. That result keeps Chelsea six points behind and leaves Manchester City five adrift of the Gunners after their late victory over Leeds United.
Premier League tipster Ben Smith has put together a five-leg accumulator for the fixtures running from Tuesday, 2 December to Thursday, 4 December. All selections are with QuickBet, who provide a broad range of Premier League odds.
Bournemouth return home after another difficult outing on the road, having let a two-goal lead slip in their 3-2 defeat at Sunderland. Their form at the Vitality Stadium has been far stronger, and that should give them encouragement against an Everton side who were thrashed by Newcastle United on Saturday.
One big weakness for Bournemouth is set pieces. They allow four shots per match from dead-balls, with only four Premier League teams conceding more opportunities in that area.
That offers a clear route for the Toffees’ Michael Keane, who has been an active threat this season. The centre back averages more than one shot per 90 minutes, scored against Fulham three games ago, and has registered attempts in both games since.
Arsenal’s clean sheets have become harder to come by, with Gabriel Magalhaes still missing and William Saliba now dealing with a short-term issue of his own.
Results have remained excellent for the most part, highlighted by comfortable wins over Tottenham and Bayern Munich, but defensive stability has somewhat dipped.
Chelsea exposed that on Sunday when Trevoh Chalobah scored from a set piece, an area where Arsenal usually hold the upper hand.
That should boost Brentford’s chances here. They rank third in the league for shots from set pieces and expected goals from those situations, which gives them a realistic route to finding a breakthrough at the Emirates, especially if Saliba is not fully fit.
Mikel Arteta’s side should still take the points, but Brentford look well placed to score.
Brighton continue to put together an impressive campaign, strengthened further by their 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
That was only their second away victory of the season after beating 10-man Chelsea in September, but their home form has been far more reliable.
Fabian Hurzeler’s side are unbeaten at the Amex in the league, winning four of six matches. Five of those contests have finished with over 2.5 goals, with the only exception coming on the opening day in a 1-1 draw with Fulham.
Aston Villa have responded well after a poor start and have also picked up two away wins, but the underlying numbers point to some good fortune on their travels.
Arne Slot faces an interesting decision on Wednesday night. He can stick with the side that beat West Ham United on Sunday or bring Mohamed Salah back in, with the Egyptian unused throughout the match in East London.
It may be a coincidence, but without Salah on the pitch, Florian Wirtz delivered his best display in a Liverpool shirt. The numbers do not fully capture it, yet he passed the eye test throughout. He was central to the Reds’ attacking play and, while not officially credited with the assist for the opener, he played a major part in the move.
Alexander Isak getting off the mark could also influence Wirtz’s output. Their link-up was sharper on Sunday, suggesting more assists to come, and Wirtz also had a strong chance to score himself. If he keeps finding space like he did against the Irons, goals will follow.
Leeds United remain in the relegation zone, yet the market still rates them more likely to stay up than go down, which reflects how well they have performed beneath the surface.
They sit eighth in the expected-goals table, a sharp contrast to their league position, and their main issue has been turning chances into results.
Away form has held them back, with six defeats in seven, though their latest trip to Manchester City showed their capability as they were denied a point only by a stoppage-time Phil Foden effort.
At Elland Road, they create more than enough to support over 2.5 goals. Their last four home matches all cleared the line and featured both teams scoring. Chelsea’s record against the bottom six, scoring fifteen in five, strengthens the case, with the visitors capable of covering the line on their own.
