We will have to wait an extra day to get our EPL fix in Matchweek 10, as the footy action doesn’t kick off until Saturday this week. That said, Saturday’s EPL card is jam-packed and full of intrigue, headlined by Tottenham vs. Chelsea and Liverpool vs. Aston Villa. Meanwhile, Sunday offers a small, 2-game slate, while Sunderland vs. Everton checks in as the final match of the week. Here are all of our expert soccer picks for Matchweek 10 in the EPL.
EPL best bet: Tottenham ML over Chelsea (+150)
Odds courtesy of bet365 at the time of publishing.
Another London-based derby takes place Saturday afternoon with Tottenham playing Chelsea for the first time this season. Out of 157 historical matchups between these clubs, Chelsea reigns supreme with 72 wins to the Spurs’ 48.
Aside from the historics, Tottenham has had an incredible season so far, sitting in third with 17 points. They find themselves at +150 to win Saturday at home, and with Richarlison leading the charge, it seems probable he could add to his current three-goal tally.
Chelsea will by no means roll over for this one. However, they fell to Sunderland 2-1 last weekend and just scraped by Wolves with a 4-3 win in the Carabao Cup. I expect Spurs to come out on the front foot and take it to a Chelsea defence that is extremely suspect. Expect a 2-1 Tottenham win.
EPL best bet: Liverpool ML over Aston Villa (-155)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at the time of publishing.
Liverpool is as desperate as ever, as they enter Matchweek 10 of the EPL with four straight losses, dropping from a convincing first place to now seventh with 15 points. However, their talent is still solid, and two of their last three PL losses came to big clubs (Chelsea and Man United). Both Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike are marked to score anytime at +130 this weekend, and you can always put your faith in 2024 Golden Boot winner Mo Salah (+155). I think it’s about time the Reds pull through at Anfield for a significant win at -155.
While Aston Villa sits in eighth, tied with Liverpool (15), their form is the best in the Premier League right now – comparable only to Arsenal. If we look at their recent matches, the Lions ousted Tottenham 2-1 on October 19 and Man City 1-0 in their most recent match. They are in red-hot form with four straight league wins. However, Liverpool is in a must-win scenario. After resting most of their starters in the Carabao Cup midweek, I’m predicting a convincing 2-0 win at the very least, which also hits the Liverpool -1.5 spread at +130 odds.
EPL best bet: Erling Haaland (MCI) anytime goalscorer (-155)
Odds found at DraftKings Sportsbook at the time of publishing.
Last week, neither Haaland nor Antoine Semenyo scored, failing to add to their impressive goal tallies. However, even after a rough PL day for the Norwegian striker, he scored against Villarreal in the Champions League just three days later. He hasn’t let me down yet, and I expect him to find the back of the net at least once at home against Bournemouth with -155 odds.
