Both of these squads are off to amazing starts this season. Coming in at 2-0 with crucial wins already, this game has a lot of anticipation for both sides.
For Brighton, a 2-0 start is an early glimpse of hope for competing for a Champions League spot. Arsenal, however, are searching for a league championship after two straight runner-up seasons.
It has been a shaky start for Southampton in the new season. They are still searching for their first goal of the year, and Brentford has a strong defense.
Brentford has also dominated the last 3 matchups in this series, leading by a cumulative 8-0.
Everton is off to a terrible start this season, losing their two opening games by a total of 7-0. Coming off of a 4-0 loss at the hands of Tottenham, they are looking to get things on track at home.
Bournemouth has drawn both of their opening games but has looked much better than the struggling Everton squad.
Ipswich has had a rough start to their first season back in the Premier League. They have faced off against Liverpool and Manchester City in their first two games losing by a combined 6-1.
Fulham is 1-1 on the year but offers a better chance for Ipswich to get their first win in the new campaign.
Aston Villa is coming off of a tough loss at the hands of Arsenal in week 2. Leicester surprisingly drew their opening game against Tottenham but took a loss at the hands of Fulham last week.
Villa is the better team on paper, so they will be looking to get some points back this week.
Stretching back into last season, Wolves have lost their last 5 league matches. Contrastingly, Forest had lost just 1 of their last 5 into last season.
Nottingham Forest has looked stronger recently, and being at home is the cherry on top.
It is always hard to bet against Man City. They have been dominant in their opening games just as everyone expected.
West Ham is coming off of a win, but I don’t expect them to have much for the returning Champions.
Chelsea seems to be revitalized after a dominant win last week against Wolverhampton. Crystal Palace is still without a point this season on the League Table.
Chelsea is the much better team in this matchup, and we will see if they can continue to show that.
Over their last 6 meetings, each of these teams has won 3 games. Both teams also have explosive offenses and are looking to continue climbing the league table.
The game has been historically high scoring, so expect fireworks in this matchup.
It was a rough week for Man U last week with a loss to Brighton. Now, they are facing their rival in Liverpool.
With all of Man U’s struggles recently, they are unbeaten in their last 3 against Liverpool, with the last 2 ending in draws. Man U will be playing hard, but Liverpool may be too tough to keep the unbeaten streak alive.
Nottingham Forest +105 over Wolves - Wolves have been in terrible shape in their recent games, basically the complete contrast from Forest. I think Forest at plus money is a great play.
Spurs at Newcastle O3.5 goals (-110) - Seven of the last 8 matchups between these teams have ended with Over 2.5 goals. With both teams playing for a lot, expect some goals in this one.
