Brighton vs Liverpool: Both teams to score (4/11)
This game reeks of goals.
Brighton’s seven league matches have seen a league-high 33 goals and last weekend they were thumped 6-1 at Aston Villa.
All seven have seen both teams find the net.
As for Liverpool, six of their seven have landed the BTTS bet and their front line of Mo Salah, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz should be relishing facing a defence which has been weakened further this week by an injury to Pervis Estupinan.
Brighton’s attacking philosophy won’t change and they should cause problems at the other end but it’s very hard to see them keeping a clean sheet.
BTTS looks a solid foundation for your weekend multiples.

Manchester United vs Brentford: Draw/Brentford double chance (6/5)
The words ‘crisis’, ‘Manchester’ and ‘United’ are being used in the same sentence again with regularity and that can’t be good for the Red Devils.
A poor start to the season has seen them lose four of their opening seven league games, as well as both Champions League matches.
A defence badly hit by injuries is struggling for protection from an easy-to-play-through midfield and Brentford have the tools to capitalise.
Despite their start being short of expectations too, they’ve avoided defeat in five of seven league games thus far.
They beat United 4-0 when Erik ten Hag’s side were struggling early last season and the Bees can add to the Dutchman’s problems by taking something from this contest.

Burnley vs Chelsea: Chelsea to win (10/13)
Admittedly, Chelsea haven’t be reliable for their backers so far this season but Burnley don’t look great and the Blues should be taken to win this one.
They returned to winning ways in fairly comfortable fashion at Fulham on Monday – a much-needed confidence boost – but the data suggested it had been coming.
Their expected goals (xG) tally of 13.82 is almost double their total of actual goals (7) which shows they’ve been creating plenty of good chances but simply not converting them.
As for Burnley, their xG figure is only better than Sheffield United’s.
They’ve lost four out of four at home and it would be foolish to place too much weight on a 2-1 win at fellow strugglers Luton in midweek.

Add the following two bets to make it a 5-fold acca.
Arsenal vs Manchester City: City to win (29/20)
You don’t get this sort of price about a Man City win too often and it looks worth taking.
They’ve won 12 in a row against Arsenal in the Premier League – so much for Mikel Arteta’s ‘inside knowledge’ of the City set-up paying dividends!
The Gunners, set to be without key man Bukayo Saka, were beaten 3-1 in this fixture last season and then 4-1 at the Etihad in what were crunch games in the title race.
The same label can be attached to this and while City’s form hasn’t been great in the absence of Rodri – the Spaniard is again missing here – Pep Guardiola will ensure his men are bang up for this important fixture.
They returned to winning ways in midweek and their mental edge can help them to victory here.

Luton vs Tottenham: Spurs to win and both teams to score (9/5)
Spurs have a cracking record against the newly-promoted sides – winning 12 of the last 14 such matches.
They are flying right now too, still unbeaten under Ange Postecoglou with even dodgy refereeing decisions going their way!
Luton did get their first victory last weekend at Everton but they’ve since lost a big game to fellow relegation contenders Burnley. It’s hard to see them handling a confident Spurs.
However, if you want a big price, try Spurs to win with both teams scoring.
Tottenham have already beaten both Burnley and Sheffield United this way, while BTTS has landed in five of Luton’s seven games.
