While many of England’s elite might have turned their attention to EFL Cup duties earlier in the week, we have a loaded Premier League schedule on Saturday.
Watching Chelsea travel across the capital to historic rivals Tottenham on Saturday night, we have seven high-profile battles up for grabs.
For those looking to enjoy the weekend, we’ve taken a look at some of Saturday’s most eye-catching Premier League betting tips.
15:00 Fulham vs Wolves
While Fulham might have extended their EFL Cup adventure earlier in the week when they overcame League One side Wycombe thanks to a thrilling penalty shootout victory, Marco Silva’s men are enduring a real top-flight grind. After suffering last-gasp heartbreak at Newcastle last weekend when they ultimately lost 2-1 at St. James’ Park, the former Everton manager has seen his team lose their previous four consecutive Premier League appearances. With that run dating back to a 3-1 win against bitter local rivals Brentford on September 20, Fulham know the importance of claiming essential momentum here. However, smelling a golden opportunity when they return to Craven Cottage this weekend, Silva’s team should be excited by their overall success in west London. Despite suffering a 1-0 defeat against title contenders Arsenal on 18 October, it is worth noting that Fulham have won each of their other four home games in all competitions.
Dealing with a host of public issues both on and off the field, the Wolves find themselves at the center of a true nightmare. After 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 home defeat against Chelsea, it appears the pressure on Vítor Pereira’s shoulders has now reached a boiling point. After suffering last-gasp heartbreak at home against Premier League newcomers Burnley last weekend as they fell to a 3-2 defeat, the former Flamengo boss finds his depressed side bottom of the table. Returning from the October international break with a 2-0 defeat at Sunderland, Wolves have picked up just two points in any of their first nine Premier League appearances. In fact, Pereira’s men are the only club among England’s professional ranks still waiting to get their first victory. Now widely regarded as the leading relegation contender this season, Old Gold also suffered a 2-1 defeat when they last faced Fulham on 25 February.

15:00 Brighton-Leeds
Brighton, who ultimately fell short last season in the race to book another famous European adventure, were desperate to go one step further this time. However, despite marking their return from the October international break with an eye-catching 2-1 home win against Newcastle, Fabian Hurzeler’s men are still searching for crucial stability. Seeing their EFL Cup adventure come to an end on Wednesday night when they lost 2-0 to Arsenal, the former St. Pauli manager saw his team record just one win in any of their four previous appearances in all competitions. Frustrated last weekend when they suffered an action-packed 4-2 defeat against Manchester United, Brighton also dropped out of the top half of the Premier League table. Despite their long-standing success at home, it is worth noting that the Seagulls have failed to keep a single clean sheet against top-flight opposition so far this season.
Leeds, who claimed essential momentum last weekend when they crawled to a 2-1 home win against West Ham, are now desperate to extend their lead above the relegation zone. It’s no secret that Daniel Farke’s men simply have their sights set on painting their Premier League status this season, with the former Norwich boss also looking for some essential consistency. Heading into the October international break with a 2-1 home defeat to Tottenham, Saturday’s guests have also shown their respective defensive problems. Including a 5-0 defeat at the hands of Arsenal on August 23, Leeds have failed to record a single clean sheet in any of their six previous Premier League games. Likewise, despite claiming a resounding 3-1 victory at relegation frontrunners Wolves last month, Farke’s side have lost each of their other four opening fixtures away from Elland Road in all competitions.
