Manchester City ML over Fulham & both teams to score (+140), 10:00 am ET

So Man City to beat Fulham then. That’s not the biggest call we’ll ever make, but adding Fulham to also find the net does bump this pick up to enticing +140 odds. Fulham scored in each of their two games against City as they lost 2-1, so they’re certainly capable, and should be inspired after Sheffield United scored against the Citizens last weekend.

It’s also worth noting that Fulham scored twice against last season’s runners-up Arsenal in 2-2 tie last week so they should be full of confidence. The Cottagers are unlikely to have enough to get anything from the game, but should be able to land a blow against Manchester City.

Nottingham Forest +1.5 over Chelsea (-135), 10:00 am ET

It’s quite simple. If you’re looking for an underdog to cover a spread, look no further than Nottingham Forest. They’ve already done it at Arsenal (lost, 1-2) and at Manchester United (lost, 2-3) so why not back them to pull off a treble at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea? Steve Cooper, Forest’s excellent and unheralded coach, knows how to get his team in order for these big road games and there is every reason to believe he’ll do it again.

And Chelsea are not the Chelsea you remember from their Premier League and Champions League winning days. This is Chelsea in a rebuild phase under Mauricio Pochettino. The signs are promising but a 3-1 defeat at West Ham was probably more telling than the subsequent 3-0 win over Luton, who everyone should be beating this season.

Tottenham ML over Burnley (-110), 10:00 am ET

There is a whole host of big teams lurking below Man City on the seven-point mark and one of them is Tottenham. Spurs can add three more points to their tally when they take on Burnley. Tottenham are going very nicely under new head coach Ange Postecoglou, the team making light of the exit of their talisman and top goalscorer Harry Kane.

Spurs have drawn at Brentford and won at Bournemouth and ought to be confident of winning at Burnley, who played 2 games so far in the league – both at home – and lost them both. They’ve been 2-0 down by half-time in both games against Man City and Aston Villa and another off-color start against Spurs should get punished.

Brentford ML over Bournemouth (-135), 10:00 pm ET

Brentford have lost just twice at their West London home in 15 months – and one of those wasn’t against Manchester City. The Bees are a hard team to swat away in front of their own fans and if City can’t do it then nor should Bournemouth.

Brentford beat Bournemouth 2-0 last season – and tied 0-0 on the road – and have not lost at home to the south coast side since 2005. Thomas Frank’s Bees are unbeaten in 4 games this season across all competitions and Bournemouth have not stopped an opponent from scoring in their last 9 games.
