Betting tip: Goal-Goal

Odds: 1.56 on Bet9ja

The North London derby is always a fierce game and we expect this to be the same. With the Gunners currently at the top of the table, a win for either side will determine who occupies the top spot by the end of the day.

We expect both teams to find the back of the net in this one, as the last four North London derbies at the Emirates have produced a goal-goal outcome. Mikel Arteta’s side have also played three home games in the league this season and, although they have won all, they have also allowed the opponents to find the back of the net.

Meanwhile, Spurs have scored in all of their Premier League games this season.

Betting tip: Chelsea to win

Odds: 1.85 on Bet9ja

In yet another London derby this weekend, the Eagles host the Blues at Selhurst Park. Chelsea have dominated the league meetings between both sides, winning the last nine in a row.

Also, in the history of this fixture, there has never been a draw, with Chelsea winning 18 while Place has won four of their 22 league meetings. The Blues have been dominant away from home in London derbies, winning eight of the last nine on the road.

Liverpool will return to EPL action for the first time since their goalless draw in the Merseyside derby. Jurgen Klopp’s side have not had the best start to the season and will look to finally gather some momentum starting this weekend. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in four of six league games this season, producing a goal-goal outcome in those games.

Brighton, on the other hand, have scored in all but one game this season (a 0-0 draw vs. Newcastle). Although the Seagulls will play their first match since Graham Potter’s departure to Chelsea, his replacement, Roberto De Zerbi, is also known for his exciting and courageous football approach.

Betting tip: Less than 4.5 cards

Odds: 1.67 on Bet9ja

High-flying Manchester City are looking to win three consecutive Premier League games against a resurgent Manchester United for the first time since April 2013-November 2014. However, we have decided to back the card market on this one as it offers good value. Despite this fixture being a derby, it has produced less than 4.5 cards in the last five.

Also, six of the last seven games involving the Cityzens have recorded less than 4.5 cards, with the same occurrence in five of Manchester United’s last seven matches.
