Man City vs Chelsea Preview
Wednesday, November 9th, 20:00 (UK)
Manchester City secured a last-gasp victory over Fulham at the weekend. Pep’s side were reduced to 10 men in the first half so I don’t expect many of the players who featured on Saturday to play here. City remain behind Arsenal in the league, so they cannot afford for fatigue to creep in when they welcome Brentford in the last game before the World Cup.
Chelsea have dropped to seventh in the league after the defeat to Arsenal. Potter has now lost two of his last three games in charge after remaining unbeaten for his first nine games. Under Tuchel, Chelsea performed extremely well in cup competitions. This is something the new boss will be keen to continue, with the title already out of reach this season.
Man City vs Chelsea Best Bet
Whatever team City field, they will be capable of performing. Chelsea will be rocked by recent results in the league. So expect them to make a tentative start to this game.
Both teams have scored in just one of the last five meetings between these two sides. One side has kept a clean sheet in six of City’s last 10 matches. Both teams to score has landed in half of Potter’s matches in charge of Chelsea.
- Selection: No To Both Teams To Score
- Best Odds: 2.15 (BetVictor)
- Stakes: 6/10
Arsenal vs Brighton Preview
Wednesday, November 9th, 19:45 (UK)
Recent performances have Arsenal believing they can pip City to the title this season. The Gunners were impressive at Stamford Bridge. But expect a very different eleven to feature on Wednesday night.
Brighton have picked up consecutive wins under De Zerbi after remaining winless in his first five matches. The early signs under the new manager have been promising. The Seagulls could have some success against a weakened Arsenal side in the Carabao Cup.
Arsenal vs Brighton Best Bet
Brighton have kept just one clean sheet under De Zerbi. Their last two matches have seen five goals. So expect there to be chances at both ends here. Arsenal face a trip to Wolverhampton, and they won’t want to concede top spot ahead of the World Cup break. So
Arsenal are conceding an average 0.74 goals per game this season, but a weakened eleven will make them more vulnerable. Brighton won 2-1 on their last visit to the Emirates. Although Arsenal are far stronger this season, the Seagulls are capable of threatening.
We can get odds of 1.83 for both teams to score on 888Sport. This has landed in Brighton’s last three matches; including a visit to the Etihad. Arsenal have kept clean sheets in their last three matches at the Emirates, but they have conceded in six of their nine matches there this season. The first team are also unlikely to feature for the Gunners.
- Selection: Yes on Both Teams To Score
- Best Odds: 1.83 (888Sport)
- Stakes: 7/10
Southampton vs Sheffield Wednesday Preview
Wednesday, November 9th, 19:45 (UK)
Southampton parted with Ralph Hassenhuttl after the defeat to Newcastle. The Austrian had struggled in recent months and the Saints are looking for a replacement ahead of the break in the season. They have just one win in their last nine matches, but expect there to be an improvement. They look set to appoint Nathan Jones, and there should be a reaction from the players even with a caretaker manager in charge on Wednesday.
Sheffield Wednesday are fighting for promotion in League One and looking to chase down Plymouth and Ipswich. They are unbeaten in seven matches. But they are likely to prioritise the league over a successful cup run.
Southampton vs Sheffield Wednesday Best Bet
Southampton are averaging just under six corners per game at home this season. In their last five matches where they have been similarly priced to win at home (1.40-1.60), they are averaging 6.8 corners taken.
Southampton had 8 corners in the last round against Cambridge. In their last two matches at St. Mary’s, the Saints have had eight corners against Newcastle and nine against Arsenal.
Over 6.5 corners for the home side is priced at 2.00 with bet365. There is a huge gulf in class between the two teams, and the Southampton players will be keen to impress any potential new manager.
- Selection: Over 6.5 Corners For Southampton
- Best Odds: 2.00 (Bet365)
- Stakes: 7/10
Best odds available as at 13:00 November 7th 2022. Odds may now differ.
