Today, we’ll reveal the opening odds and two best bets below for the Premier League matches on Saturday, November 8th. Let’s get into it!
Tottenham and Man U will square off in a lunchtime (England time) kickoff once again in what will be a big game. Last season, Tottenham ended their 17-year trophy drought by beating Man U in the same slot during the Europa League final.
Both teams have had a solid start to the season, both within the top 10 of the league coming into this weekend. Man U has seemed to get their offense in order, but they have been leaky on defense, allowing 16 goals in 10 games. It should be a fun one to kick off the day.
These teams are entering this game separated by just one point in the league table; however, neither side has been playing their best. Fulham snapped a four-game losing streak last time out against Wolves, while Everton snapped a two-game losing streak with a draw against Sunderland.
Everton is unbeaten in the last three meetings in this matchup. Fulham has also been struggling away from home, so I think Everton may have the upper hand here.
Both of these sides are sitting right near the bottom of the league as of right now. West Ham has just one win in their last five and has conceded 13 goals over their last seven total games.
Burnley has been slightly better with two wins in their last five matches, but has conceded 11 goals over that span. Three of the last four meetings between these teams have ended in a draw, which could very likely happen again this weekend.
There isn’t a ton to say about this one. Arsenal has been on fire, winning their last five league games by a combined 8-1. Sunderland has also been solid in their first season back in the Premier League.
They currently sit in 4th place and have lost just one of their last five league games, including a win over Chelsea. As good as they have been, I think Arsenal completely outmatches them. They have been nearly perfect defensively and will likely win a low-scoring affair.
Wolves are winless through their first 10 games this year, also only managing two draws in that span. They are in last place and haven’t been able to string together a solid defensive showing so far this year.
Chelsea has been pretty inconsistent, but they have much more talent on the field. They should find a way to win this one, possibly by a few goals.
Manchester United at Tottenham Over 2.5 Goals (-160) - Over 2.5 has hit in four of Man U’s last five and 3 of Tottenham’s last five. Both teams have had some defensive struggles, but a very strong offense.
Fulham at Everton (+120) - These teams are pretty evenly matched, but Everton has owned this matchup, winning the last three. They are also facing a Fulham team that has been awful on the road so far this year.
Wolves at Chelsea -1.5 (+100) - Wolves have been so bad this year, which is almost enough alone to take this bet. However, Chelsea has been solid offensively, scoring in each of their last five games and 8 in total over that stretch.
