Chelsea vs. Hull City

Hull City’s commencement has been remarkable. The promoted broadside is unbeaten done 3 matches, has 7 points and is the lone Premier League squad yet to concede.

However, the underlying numbers suggest that grounds is unsustainable. Hull conceded 1.81 expected goals against Manchester United, 1.28 astatine Coventry, and 1.74 against Aston Villa. Three cleanable sheets accidental much astir opponents failing to instrumentality their chances than Hull preventing them from being created.

That is simply a large interest against Chelsea, who person scored 16 times successful 5 matches crossed each competitions nether Xabi Alonso. Only Arsenal person stopped the Blues from scoring astatine slightest twice, portion Chelsea prepared for this crippled by scoring six second-half goals against Leeds successful the League Cup connected Wednesday.

Chelsea person scored wrong the archetypal 4 minutes successful each league match, portion Hull mislaid 4-0 to them successful the FA Cup successful February.

I’m taking Chelsea connected the -2 Asian Handicap. A three-goal triumph cashes the bet, portion a two-goal borderline returns the stake. Chelsea tin crook sustained unit into aggregate goals and are not a squad inclined to settee for a constrictive triumph erstwhile they instrumentality control.

Hull’s antiaircraft grounds has been excellent, but I expect it to travel crashing down astatine Stamford Bridge.

Bet: Chelsea -2 Asian handicap astatine +100.

Liverpool vs. Fulham

This is my favourite goals stake of the weekend. It is antithetic for maine to spell Over, particularly astatine 3.25, but Liverpool’s aboriginal matches person created the benignant of crippled authorities that makes 4 goals attainable.

Andoni Iraola is simply a manager I greatly admire, and Liverpool person scored 2 goals successful each of their archetypal 4 fixtures. Their opening league games against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest ended 2-2, they bushed Ipswich 2-0 aft scoring doubly wrong 10 minutes, and they came from down to bushed Atletico Madrid 2-1 successful the Champions League connected Wednesday.

Alexander Isak scored some goals astatine Portman Road and present has 3 league goals, matching his full tally from an injury-hit debut play connected Merseyside. He should relish facing a Fulham squad that has conceded the second-highest expected-goals-against full successful the league and 7 existent goals successful 3 matches.

New Fulham manager Álvaro Arbeloa is committed to an attacking style, but it has near his broadside precise open. Of the 40 shots Fulham person faced, 29 person travel from wrong the punishment area, and nary Premier League squad has conceded much than their 14 large chances.

Fulham person scored 8 goals successful 4 matches crossed each competitions, truthful they should lend here. Ipswich’s mediocre finishing kept past weekend’s Liverpool crippled from becoming a shootout; Fulham should connection much astatine Anfield.

The sides person shared 26 goals crossed their past six meetings — an mean of 4.33 per crippled — with lone 1 cleanable sheet. Five of those six games saw Over 3.25 goals cash.

Bet: Over 3.25 goals astatine -110

Sunderland vs. Arsenal

Arsenal triumph to nil cashed successful the archetypal 2 weeks, and I’m going backmost to the aforesaid bet. Rather than laying a ample handicap, backing the champions to triumph portion keeping Sunderland scoreless turns a -200 moneyline into an appealing plus-money play.

Including their 3-0 Community Shield triumph implicit Manchester City, Arsenal person won each 5 games this season. They bushed Coventry 3-0 and Aston Villa 1-0 successful the league, past opened their Champions League run with a 1-0 triumph astatine Napoli. Chelsea are the lone squad to people against them.

Mikel Arteta’s broadside person conceded 0.93 expected goals, comfortably the champion full successful the Premier League; Manchester City are next-best astatine 2.68. Sunderland person failed to people much than erstwhile successful immoderate of their 4 fixtures.

The Black Cats held Arsenal to a 2-2 gully present past season, but the champions won the February rematch 3-0 and constricted Sunderland to 5 shots.

Arsenal are comfy winning patiently distant from home, arsenic they showed astatine Aston Villa. Eight of their past 10 Premier League wins person travel to nil, making this terms hard to ignore.

Bet: Arsenal to triumph to nil astatine +125
