We are approaching the eleventh week of EPL action, and we have a great weekend of matches.
Today, we’ll reveal the opening odds and three best bets below for the EPL’s Week 11 schedule. Let's get into it!
Brentford has, historically, dominated this matchup. Brentford currently are unbeaten in their last 7 matches against Bournemouth, a run that stretches back to August 2014.
However, Bournemouth has been very solid this season. They are in some of their best form ever, winning games against Man City and Arsenal over the last 3 weeks. They have a test on the road though, against a team they have struggled to beat.
It has been a tough go for Crystal Palace this season, winning only one game so far. Fulham started the season solid but has now won only 2 of their last 5.
The last 3 matches between these teams have ended in a draw, which seems pretty likely to happen again.
Neither of these teams have been performing well so far this season. They both sit in the bottom third of the league and are desperate to put some points on the board to distance themselves from relegation.
West Ham has gone 2-1 in their last 3 home games against Everton, but they lost the last meeting 1-0 in 2023. I expect a low-scoring, but tightly contested match in this one.
I don’t mean to disparage any of these teams, but this is the current toilet bowl of the EPL. Wolves sit in dead last, while Southampton is just one spot ahead in 19th. Wolves have yet to win a game but have managed draws in their last 2.
Southampton finally secured a win against Everton last weekend and jumped Wolverhampton in the standings. As far down as these teams sit there certainly is some high stakes for these squads looking for a turnaround.
Man City is coming off of their first loss last weekend at the hands of Bournemouth. They dropped the game 2-1 in a shocking upset, the line sitting at +425 for Bournemouth.
City will take to the road again to take on a tough Brighton team, who currently sits 8th in the table. City should be favored, even on the road. Expect them to look for a bounce back.
This is the marquee matchup for the Saturday slate of games. However, Villa has been faltering lately. They have won only one of their last 5 league games and are coming off a 4-1 loss at Tottenham.
Liverpool, on the other hand, sits atop the league and is looking dominant. They are also unbeaten in their last 5 matches with Villa. Expect them to stay hot.
It has been a turbulent season for Man U so far. They just fired their manager and currently sit 13th in the league table. However, they pulled off a draw against a very solid Chelsea team last week under their interim manager.
This week they take on a weak Leicester side and have the home-field advantage on their side. WIll Man U be able to turn it around? Only time will tell.
I think I’ve said this the past 3 weeks, but Forest has been the surprise of the season. They currently sit 3rd in the league and have rattled off three straight wins.
They now take on a Newcastle side, who hasn’t been great but are coming off a win against Arsenal. This game should be a fun one to see which of these sides can stay hot. I am very excited about this one.
There shouldn’t be many surprises about the odds for this game. Ipswich has been one of the worst teams in the league and is still winless.
Spurs haven’t been amazing for their standard, but still sit 7th in the league table and have 5 wins on the year. Ipswich will have a tough time pulling anything off in a hostile Hotspur Stadium.
Chelsea have struggled head-to-head with Arsenal over their last 5 matchups, losing 4 out of 5. However, they come into this game in solid form.
Arsenal has looked rough in their last 3 league games losing to both Newcastle and Bournemouth on the road. They now face another tough road test as they will march into Stamford Bridge to take on the 3rd highest-scoring team in the league.
The two worst teams in the league going head-to-head seems like a low-scoring event to me. Neither of these teams have proven they can win games.
I think this game has the chance to be pretty high- scoring and if City is putting up points, Haaland is scoring goals.
Arsenal has been on a tough road stretch dropping games to Newcastle and Bournemouth. Chelsea has been good and will look to keep Arsenal's road woes rolling.
