Gameweek 10 of the Premier League is upon us, and we look at some of the potential outcomes from this week’s thrilling battles, including the blockbuster clash involving Manchester United and Chelsea.
Newcastle United vs Arsenal
Newcastle United host Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday, and they will look to bounce back from their recent run of poor form. The Magpies are winless in their last five league matches, and they are coming into this contest on the back of two consecutive defeats in the Premier League.
Arsenal are winless in their last two league matches as well, and they were held to a draw against Liverpool last time out. On paper, Arsenal are the better team, and it will be interesting to see if they can grind out a good result here.
Arsenal are undefeated in 14 of their last 15 league games and given Newcastle’s form right now, the away side are likely to grind out something from this contest. A double chance on Arsenal seems likely.
Probable Bet: Arsenal win or draw
Ipswich Town vs Leicester City
Ipswich Town will host Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday, and they have failed to win their last 11 league games. They have conceded at least twice in their last four league games as well. The Tractor Boys are yet to pick up a single victory in the Premier League, and they are on a losing streak right now.
On the other hand, the Foxes crashed to a defeat against Nottingham Forest in their last outing, and it will be interesting to see if they can bounce back strongly. Leicester City are unbeaten in five of the last six matches against Ipswich Town, and they will be the favourites to grind out all three points here.
Probable Bet: Leicester win
Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion
Liverpool host Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday, and they will look to continue their impressive run of form. The Reds picked up a 3-2 win over Brighton in the League Cup during the midweek, and it remains to be seen whether they can grind out another win over the Seagulls at the weekend.
On paper, Arne Slot’s men are the better team, and they will be considered the favourites. Liverpool are undefeated in 12 of their last 13 Premier League games, and they should be able to pick up all three points.
