The Premier League rolls into game week 11, with just four competition points separating the Spurs in 1st with Aston Villa in 5th!
The undefeated records of both Arsenal and Tottenham will be put to the test, with the North London sides taking on Newcastle and Chelsea respectively.
While, City tee off against Bournemouth, Liverpool put Luton in the hurt locker and Man U attempt to keep their head above water against Fulham.
Our Offside Oracle has previewed all ten Premier League fixtures and provided his tips for each contest below!
Game week 11 gets underway at Craven Cottage, as Fulham look to claim their first victory over Man United since 2009 (3D,14L)!
Meanwhile, the Red Devils will be out to put a poor showing in the Manchester Derby behind them, with a third successive league win over the Cottagers.
Fulham have failed to beat any side above them on the table this season, while Man U have collected almost all of their 15 competition points from sides sitting in the bottom half of the comp.
My money is on a bounce back performance from Man U here, claiming all three points at a handy $2.
The Bees are out to claim three straight league wins when they welcome the Irons to Brentford Community Stadium.
Follow a promising start to the season, West Ham have experience a serious regression in form, losing three straight fixtures across all comps.
Brentford boost a decent record in this fixture, winning four straight league meetings against the Hammers, three of which were accompanied by a clean sheet.
The last four games between this pair across all comps have seen under 2.5 goals scored.
I do like Brentford here, but not at the current price, instead I’ll take on the unders in what should be a tight arm wrsestle.
Manchester City can climb to the top of the table with a victory against the Cherries.
The Sky Blues have won 12 straight league fixtures against Bournemouth, slotting eight goals past the minnows across their previous two meetings.
I’m expecting a similar scoreline in this one, with Haaland back to his damaging best and eyeing back-to-back braces.
Both Burnley and Crystal Palace enter this matchup in desperate need of a victory.
The Clarets are currently sitting 19th, with one win from ten games, and zero points at home (5L).
Similarly, the Eagles are staring down the barrel of three straight league defeats, and have managed just one goal across their last three games.
Palace has only fallen to sides sitting inside the top six, a drop in class here should see them pick up the three points.
Brighton at over evens against the Toffees, yes thanks.
The Seagulls have won their last two trips to Goodison Park, with five goals scored in each fixture, in fact 5+ total goals has hit in the previous three league meetings between this pair.
Everton have lost four of the five home fixtures this season, with their only victory coming against a struggling Bournemouth side.
Brighton are without a win in four league fixtures and are yet to keep a clean sheet this season.
Despite a poor defensive record, the Seagulls will be backing themselves to outscore a Toffees side who have found the back of the net 13 fewer times across ten games.
2023/24 EPL punting guide:
Rule #1: Back against the Blades.
Sheffield United are sitting dead least in the league with one point from ten fixtures, least goals scored (7), most goals conceded (29).
Alternatively, the Wolves are undefeated across their last four starts (2W,2D), including results against Man City (w), Villa (d), and Newcastle (d).
I’m taking the $1.95 on offer and not looking back!
The Gunners head north to St. James’ Park in a bid to keep their unbeaten start to the season alive.
Standing in their way is a Toon side experiencing a dip in form, as injuries and European football stretch their squad to the limit!
Arsenal has already bettered the Magpies in Newcastle this year, claiming a hard-fought 2-0 win May last season.
Unlike Newcastle, Arsenal possess the depth to compete on all fronts throughout the week, as such I’m taking Arteta’s side to claim the W here.
Notts Forest are out to break a six game winless streak (4D,2L) in the league when they host a Vill side who a flying high with six games without defeat (5W,1D)!
It could be argued that Aston Villa are the form side in the comp at the moment, with only Tottenham collecting as many points as them across the last five games (13).
No side has scored more goals than Villa’s 26 this season, which is reflected in Over/Unders betting with eight of ten games seeing more than 2.5 goals.
This is another no-brainer for me, I have Villa claiming the W with +2.5 goals scored.
Luton fans are set to be treated to a goalfest, as the Reds travel to Kenilworth Rd.
The Hatters are still searching for their first home win in the top flight since 1992, and they will be forced to wait a little longer as an inform Liverpool unit looks to dole out a beating.
Mo Salah has been in inspired form for the Merseysiders, the electric winger netting eight times in ten fixtures, while laying on four assists.
I’m backing Mo to score his third brace in four fixtures on the way to a comfortable Liverpool victory.
Game week 11 wraps up with a must see London Derby.
The fabled “Pochettino/ Conte/ Mourinho/ Villa-Boas/ Hoddle Derby” is sure to get tongues wagging as Poch attempts to spoil his former side’s undefeated party!
Spurs fans have seemingly forgotten their once worshipped manager, as Ange continues to inspire a community formerly void of all hope!
Despite Chelsea’s woes, they should not be underestimated in this fixture, with the Blues losing just one of their previous 14 fixtures against the Spurs in all comps (9W,4D).
Tottenham can take solace in the fact their solitary victory across that trip was last time out in front of their home fans.
I think both sides will create plenty of chance here, with the more clinical outfit to claim the chocolates, hence why I’m backing the Spurs to start their own winning run in this derby, with Son outperforming the Blues bumbling forward line.
