Liverpool and Manchester City returned to winning ways last weekend and followed up with midweek victories in the Champions League.
The challenge for both is to keep pace with leaders Arsenal, but at least one will slip up on Sunday when they meet at the Etihad Stadium.
Premier League tipster Ben Smith has put together a five-leg accumulator for this weekend’s fixtures, taking place on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th November. All selections are with QuinnBet, who offer a wide range of Premier League odds across a breadth of markets.
Tottenham have enjoyed some success at home in cup competitions, but in the Premier League, they’ve been far too easy to play against at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
They managed just three shots against Chelsea last Saturday, which has been a familiar story this season. They were fortunate to scrape a late point at home to Wolves in September and mustered only five efforts at goal against Bournemouth at the end of August.
Manchester United remain a work in progress, but with 10 points from a possible 12, they look capable of adding to Spurs’ problems against a side that often appear short of ideas.
It was hard to see where a turnaround would come for West Ham United, whose only point in six matches came in Nuno Espírito Santo’s first game in charge at Everton, before last weekend’s 3-1 triumph over Newcastle United.
That was a fully deserved victory, with West Ham comfortably winning the xG battle and recording more shots, shots on target, corners, and big chances than their Champions League opposition.
Burnley lost to Arsenal on Saturday, but there’s no shame in that, and it doesn’t detract from their strong start to the season. They went into that match on the back of two straight wins and had previously been competitive in defeats away to Aston Villa and Manchester City, scoring in both.
They also found the net twice at Old Trafford in August, and can contribute again here in a match where both teams to score looks the best angle in.
I’ve been tipping Arsenal to win to nil for weeks now, and it keeps coming in comfortably, so there’s no reason to change approach here, even against a more than adequate Sunderland side.
Regis Le Bris’ team sit fourth in the table, but their good results have largely been built on defensive organisation, and few sides embody that quality better than Arsenal. Sunderland may have met their match in that respect.
Arsenal’s run of wins to nil now stands at eight, and once again they gave very little away in midweek at Slavia Prague, conceding just 0.48 xG.
Many feared for Brentford when Thomas Frank departed and Keith Andrews, managing at club level for the first time, took over, but early signs suggest the Bees will be just fine.
Their focus on set pieces, particularly long throws, has caused plenty of problems for opposing defences and helped them collect 13 points from their opening 10 fixtures, with 10 of those coming at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Brentford’s only home defeat came against Manchester City. Aside from that, they’ve beaten Aston Villa, Manchester United, and Liverpool, and taken a point off Chelsea.
Most of Newcastle United’s points have come at home, which could be an issue for them in west London this weekend, especially after a midweek Champions League outing.
Eddie Howe’s side have found goals hard to come by despite Nick Woltemade’s bright start, scoring just 10 times in the league and only twice in five away games.
Brentford, with a full week to prepare, have the tools to get on top of Newcastle at stages in this match, and the value looks to be on them to win either half.
Few teams have earned more praise this season than Crystal Palace, who continue to impress despite the loss of star man Eberechi Eze.
Oliver Glasner’s insistence on keeping Marc Guehi has been fully justified, with Palace one of only five sides to have conceded fewer than 10 goals.
Their 3-3 draw with Bournemouth was a rare exception at home, where all other matches this season have featured under 3.5 goals.
The last seven meetings between these rivals at Selhurst Park have also gone under 3.5 goals, with Brighton failing to win any of the last six.
Palace won’t want this to turn into an open contest, and if they maintain the defensive discipline they’ve shown for most of the campaign, they should get their way.
