Chelsea vs Everton

Chelsea are sitting fifth but still blow hot and cold, with two draws and a defeat in their last three league games. Everton arrive in far better nick, up to seventh after four wins from their last five – including away victories at Bournemouth and Manchester United and a 3–0 home win over Forest.

The big caveat is Stamford Bridge: Everton haven’t won a league game there since 1994, and Chelsea took four points off them last season, including a 1–0 home win and a 0-0 draw at Goodison Park, plus that notorious 6–0 hammering near the end of the previous season. Chelsea are unlikely to lose, but this should be a low-scorer as there have been five clean sheets in their last four clashes.

Liverpool vs Brighton

Liverpool’s season is messy: 10th with 23 points from 15, plenty of noise around Salah’s future, and a run of just one win in five league matches. Brighton are level with Liverpool on 23 points but have nudged ahead of the defending champions on goal difference, but remain weaker away from home, taking only eight points from seven games on the road.

Brighton won the last Premier League match against Liverpool 3-2 at home near the end of last season, but for Liverpool their roller-coaster results have been further hampered by the dropping of Salah and the war of words in the media between the Egyptian and the manager. With both sides scoring relatively freely, this should be a game of goals.

Burnley vs Fulham

Burnley are 19th with 10 points from 15 games and face a bitter relegation battle as they have the second-worst defence in the league, conceding 30 goals at 2 per game. They have lost their last six games on the bounce and shouldn’t threaten a free-scoring Fulham side with four wins from their last seven matches.

Fulham sit 15th with 17 points and come off wild, high-scoring games against two top-four sides that underline their attacking spark as well as their defensive frailty. They fought back gallantly to lose a 5–4 thriller against Man City, followed by a dramatic 2–1 loss to Palace. This must surely be Fulham’s chance to pick up points to lift them away from the drop zone.

Arsenal vs Wolves

Arsenal top the table on 33 points from 15 despite a heavy injury list, and have been astounding in the Champions League, winning their opening six matches. Wolves are rooted to the bottom with two points after just two draws and 13 defeats, and they have also lost their last eight League games on the bounce, scoring just three goals.

Arsenal have also absolutely owned this fixture recently – eight wins on the bounce against Wolves in the League, with Wolves battling to find the net. This has to be a big Arsenal win, most likely to nil. That being said, there will be huge odds to back a Wolves win, and given how unpredictable this season has been, there might be some takers for such a long shot (call it more a moon shot!).

Verdict

English Premier League

Chelsea to claim at least one point against Everton, while Liverpool and Brighton should both be full of goals.

Fulham to pick-up a valuable win over Burnley, while Arsenal to hammer Wolves to nil.
