Deadline

The Safe Bets

1
Chelsea logo
Chelsea (H)

vs Burnley

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Chelsea are in the top 5 and Burnley are second bottom. At Stamford Bridge this should be routine

2
Arsenal logo
Arsenal (A)

vs Spurs

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Arsenal are top of the table for a reason. Spurs have been inconsistent and the Gunners have the quality to win even at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

3
Man City logo
Man City (H)

vs Newcastle

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Newcastle have Champions League knockout fixtures to worry about. City at the Etihad is a tough ask for anyone, especially with European distractions

4
Aston Villa logo
Aston Villa (H)

vs Leeds

⭐⭐⭐

Leeds have done well since coming up but Villa at home are a different proposition. Villa Park is a fortress

Stay Away From These

Tottenham logo
Tottenham

It's the North London derby against Arsenal. Form goes out the window in these matches

Liverpool logo
Liverpool

They're away at Forest who are fighting for their lives. Tricky fixture away from Anfield

Man United logo
Man United

Away at Everton in a proper scrap. Both teams are chaos personified right now

West Ham logo

Bournemouth have been decent away from home. Tough one to call

If You've Burned Through the Good Teams

Crystal Palace logo
Crystal Palace (H)

vs Wolves

Risky

Wolves are bottom with 9 points from 26 games. But desperate teams sometimes pull out surprise results. Palace at home should win but be careful

Brentford logo
Brentford (H)

vs Brighton

Moderate

Brighton have been inconsistent. Brentford at home are solid and might be worth a punt if you've burned through the big teams

What We're Actually Picking
Chelsea logo

Chelsea

Top 5 team against second bottom. Sometimes you just take the banker. I've got bigger things to worry about than trying to be clever when Chelsea are playing Burnley at home
