Parlay odds: +1384
Both teams to score in West Ham vs Chelsea (-116), 7:30am ET
Chelsea gets the action going across at the London Stadium where they make the short trip across the English capital to play West Ham.
The Hammers were placed sixth last season and this year they look good shots to finish the best of the rest and book a place in the UEFA Champions League for the first time.
There will be a highly charged atmosphere and David Moyes’s team tend to react well to that, as they did last month when they became the first team to beat Liverpool.
The question is whether they would have enough to repeat the dose against Thomas Tuchel’s Blues and it will not be easy.
The visitors are strong and are still easing striker Romelu Lukaku back into the action, but they can threaten a Hammers defense missing the influential Angelo Ogbonna, so both teams to score looks the best bet for this matchup.
Liverpool ML and both teams to score (+200) over Wolves, 10am ET
Wolves lost three of their first four matches of the season and life looked like it was going to get tough, but Bruno Lage’s team has recovered well.
The only problem for Wolves this week is that Liverpool is coming to town and Jurgen Klopp’s boys are running riot.
The Reds brushed nearby rival Everton aside on Wednesday with a 4-1 win and that victory took the goal tally to an amazing 43 in 14 league games this season.
It is difficult to see them being held at Molineux as that was the 7th time in 8 road matches that Liverpool has scored at least 3 times.
Despite their shooting skills, though, the Reds have had just 4 shutouts in their last 9 league games so back them to win but for both teams to get on the scoreboard.
Both teams to score in Newcastle vs Burnley (-138), 10am ET
Newcastle are in danger of being cast adrift in the battle against relegation and their new owners from Saudi Arabia could soon be facing up to life outside the Premier League.
The Magpies are still looking for their first victory of this season and there is no guarantee that those 3 points will come against Burnley on Saturday.
A good opportunity to get that all-important success was wasted on Tuesday when Norwich earned a 1-1 tie at St James’s Park and Eddie Howe’s team will surely be positive as they need to beat the Clarets.
Burnley have not won away this season but ties have been earned in 4 of the last 5 on the road and the other game was a 2-0 loss to Manchester City.
Sean Dyche’s team has scored in 4 of his last 6 away games and with both teams scoring in 10 of Newcastle’s last 12 games and 6 of the last 7 at their own field, that looks like the best bet in this one.
Manchester City ML and over 2.5 goals (-185) over Watford, 12:30pm ET
The later game sees Watford play Manchester City and the Hornets may be encouraged by the improved performance Claudio Ranieri’s team produced in Wednesday’s 2-1 defeat to Chelsea.
Facing another top opponent in such a short space of time is likely to take its toll on the injury-hit Hornets and it is difficult to see them getting anything at Vicarage Road against a team that has won 5 of its 6 league away matches since losing at Tottenham on opening weekend. That other game was a tie at Liverpool, by the way.
The Citizens have scored 10 goals in their last 4 road games, so backing them to win and there being at least 3 goals in the game looks a sensible play.
