While many of England’s elite might have turned their attention back to EFL Cup duties earlier in the week, we have a stacked Premier League schedule on Saturday.
Watching Chelsea travel across the capital to historic rivals Tottenham on Saturday evening, we have seven top-flight battles on the cards.
For those of you looking to stick on a weekend flutter, we have taken a glance at some of Saturday’s most eye-catching Premier League betting tips.
15:00 Fulham vs Wolves
While Fulham might have extended on their EFL Cup adventure earlier in the week as they edged past League One outfit Wycombe thanks to a nail-biting penalty shootout victory, Marco Silva’s men are enduring a real top-flight rut. Suffering last-gasp heartbreak away at Newcastle last weekend as they eventually fell to a 2-1 loss at St. James’ Park, the former Everton boss has seen his squad lose all of their previous four consecutive Premier League appearances. With that run stemming back to a 3-1 win against bitter local rivals Brentford on September 20th, Fulham know the importance of claiming an essential boost here. However, smelling a golden opportunity when they return to Craven Cottage this weekend, Silva’s side should be excited by their overall success in west London. Despite suffering a 1-0 loss against leading title contenders Arsenal on October 18th, it should be noted that Fulham have won each of their other four showdowns in front of their own supporters across all competitions.
Dealing with a string of public issues both on and off the pitch, Wolves find themselves at the heart of a real nightmare. Putting in another woeful first-half performance earlier in the week as they watched their EFL Cup campaign come to an end thanks to a 4-3 defeat at home against Chelsea, it appears that the pressure on Vítor Pereira’s shoulders has now reached a boiling point. Suffering last-gasp heartbreak at home against Premier League newcomers Burnley last weekend as they slumped to a 3-2 loss, the former Flamengo boss finds his downbeat squad sat rock-bottom of the table. Marking their return from October’s international break with a 2-0 loss away at Sunderland, Wolves have remarkably put just two points on the board from any of their first nine Premier League appearances. In fact, Pereira’s men are the only club among England’s professional tiers who are still waiting to claim a maiden victory. Now widely regarded as the standout relegation contender this season, the Old Gold were also hit with a 2-1 defeat when they last met Fulham back on February 25th.

15:00 Brighton vs Leeds
Eventually falling short last season in the race to book another famous European adventure, Brighton were desperate to go one-step further this time around. However, despite marking their return from October’s international break with an eye-catching 2-1 victory at home against Newcastle, Fabian Hurzeler’s men are still searching for some crucial stability. Watching their EFL Cup adventure come to an end on Wednesday night as they fell to a 2-0 loss away at Arsenal, the former St. Pauli boss has seen his squad register just a single win from any of their previous four appearances across all competitions. Left frustrated last weekend as they were hit with an action-packed 4-2 defeat against Manchester United, Brighton have also come tumbling out the top-half of the Premier League standings. Despite their extended success on home soil, it should be highlighted that the Seagulls have failed to record a single clean sheet against top-flight opposition so far this season.
Claiming an essential boost last weekend as they dragged themselves to a 2-1 victory at home against West Ham, Leeds are now desperate to widen their buffer over the drop zone. With it no secret that Daniel Farke’s men simply have their sights set on painting their Premier League status this season, the former Norwich boss is also searching for some essential consistency. Heading into October’s international break with a 2-1 defeat at home against Tottenham, Saturday’s guests have also shown their own respective defensive issues. Including a 5-0 drumming at the hands of Arsenal on August 23rd, Leeds have failed to record a single clean sheet from any of their previous six Premier League outings. Likewise, despite securing a thumping 3-1 victory away at leading relegation candidates Wolves last month, Farke’s side have lost each of their other opening four matchups away from Elland Road across all competitions.
