Saturday Games
Fulham (+370) vs. Chelsea (-135)
Life without Thomas Tuchel begins for Chelsea on Saturday, as they head to Fulham to take on one of their rivals. Falling earlier in the week to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League, the Blues will look to bounce back with a win in a game they are favored to handle.
Goals have come at a premium for Chelsea so far this season, with leading goal scorer Raheem Sterling (3) being the only striker to find any form of consistency.
For Fulham, they’ll welcome Chelsea to town with the confidence of having one of the best strikers in EPL in Aleksandar Mitrovic. With six goals through six matches, the Serbian trails only Erling Haaland of Manchester City on the stats sheet. Add in exceptional feeds from Kenny Tete, and Fulham has one of the most lethal attacks in all of EPL.
In this one, however, I like for Chelsea to get back to their winning ways against a team they have handled over the years. Look for Sterling to get going early as the Blues handle business in remaining near the top of the table improving to 4-1-2 in the EPL.
Pick: Chelsea (-135)
Manchester City (-270) vs. Tottenham (+650)
Sitting at #2 on the table, Manchester City has yet to lose this season in EPL amassing a record of 4-2-0 through six games. Their +14 goal differential on the season is double that of their next closest competitor, as they’ve benefited from a staggering 20 goals thus far.
The aforementioned Haaland has been dominant, scoring 10 of those goals at a blistering pace unseen in recent campaigns. He has benefited from excellent setups from fellow Man City star Kevin De Bruyne, who currently leads the league with four assists.
Manchester City will now welcome Tottenham to town, however, who might just have something to say about goal scoring. English legend Harry Kane has led the way for the Spurs, scoring five goals to this point while getting help from midfielder Dejan Kulusevski.
I think in this match, Man City’s odds are being inflated by having an extra day of rest from each team’s Champions League match this week. I’m not putting as much stock in that, however, and think Tottenham is a live dog here at these inflated odds.
Pick: Tottenham (+650)
