PREMIER LEAGUE - WEEK 11
Brighton v Manchester City
Brighton will host Manchester City in a Saturday evening showdown, with both teams eager to regain form and cement their league positions. Brighton sit comfortably in eighth and have shown glimpses of quality, though their recent run includes three losses and a draw in their last six games. Aiming for a European qualification spot, the Seagulls will need a bit more consistency to remain in the top half. Meanwhile, City, after a tough week with three consecutive losses across competitions—one each to Tottenham, Bournemouth, and Sporting Lisbon—finds themselves two points behind Liverpool. Missing some key players, City urgently needs a win to stop the bleeding. Given City’s six-match unbeaten streak against Brighton, they are still jollys, but Brighton’s home advantage and City’s recent struggles may keep the game closer than usual.
We fancy both teams scoring but City prevailing here. Check our Brighton v Manchester City markets here.
Prediction: City & BTTS YES @ 2.88
Liverpool v Aston Villa
Liverpool head into their clash against Aston Villa aiming to maintain their spot atop the Premier League before the international break. With a 12-game unbeaten streak (11 wins and one draw), Liverpool’s attack has been potent, particularly with three goals scored in each of their last two games against Villa. Arne Slot's promising start has led Liverpool to impressive form across all competitions, including a recent Champions League victory against Leverkusen. Aston Villa, currently sixth in the league, remain competitive in a tight race for the top four but have struggled for consistency, with only one win in their last five Premier League games. Key players like Alisson and Diogo Jota remain sidelined for Liverpool, while Villa may be without Matty Cash.
Given Liverpool’s recent form and Villa’s away day troubles, a Liverpool win with over 2.5 goals scored could be the one here. Check our Liverpool v Aston Villa markets here.
Prediction: Liverpool & O2.5 @ 1.86
Nottingham Forest v Newcastle
Nottingham Forest and Newcastle will clash at the City Ground this Sunday in a competitive Premier League matchup. Forest, currently third with 19 points, come here brimming with confidence, having won their last three games, including a commanding 3-0 victory over West Ham. At home, Forest have performed very well, managing two wins and two draws in recent matches, and their matches tend to see fewer goals, with 7 of their last 9 games featuring under 2.5 goals. Meanwhile, Newcastle, sit 9th with 15 points, have shown a mixed away record, with recent improvements including a narrow 1-0 win over Arsenal. Their away games have seen more goals, often over 2.5, but they generally keep things tight, with under 3.5 goals occurring in 8 of their last 10 league matches. Notably, both teams have scored in their last four head-to-heads.
The unders seems quite an attractive prospect here. Check our Nottingham Forest v Newcastle markets here.
Prediction: U2.5 @ 1.92
Chelsea v Arsenal
Chelsea will host Arsenal on Sunday evening, wrapping up Matchday 11 in the Premier League. Chelsea, currently fifth, have had mixed results recently, with two wins, two losses, and a draw. They’ve shown some serious promise with victories over Panathinaikos (4-1) and a league win over Newcastle (2-1), though their latest was a 1-1 draw against Manchester United. Arsenal, sitting fourth, are also experiencing a rough patch, with back-to-back 1-0 losses to Newcastle and Inter following a solid streak that included wins and a draw with Liverpool. Both teams will aim to shake off inconsistency and regain momentum in this pivotal clash.
We fancy Chelsea to come out on top here. Check our Chelsea v Arsenal markets here.
Prediction: Chelsea @ 2.88
