EPL 2025/26 Preview & Betting Tips: Matchday 10

Following an enthralling week of Carabao Cup action, the Premier League returns to the forefront this weekend.

The problems at Liverpool mount, who have lost to Brentford and Crystal Palace in the space of a week and face a tricky looking one against Aston Villa this weekend.

Arsenal have been the standard setters all season and they will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the table, while promoted sides Sunderland, Burnley and Leeds United all continue to impress - well above the relegation zone.

Craven Cottage, 1st November, 23:00

Two teams that could really do with a win meet here, as Fulham take on Wolves in West London.
The Cottagers have been undone by a heap of late goals lately but their penalty shootout win at Wycombe Wanderers in midweek should give them plenty of confidence here.
Wolves crashed out of the Carabao Cup to Chelsea in the week and lost to Burnley last weekend, conceding 7 goals in the process and something needs to improve at Molyneux quickly.
This should be a cagey one, with neither side full of confidence and home advantage could see Fulham over the line.

Bookmaker	Tip	Odds
	Fulham to win the match	$1.85
	Under 2.5 goals	$1.80
	A red card to be shown in the match	$2.95

Predicted Lineups:

Fulham: Leno, Tete, Bassey, Cuenca, Robinson, Lukic, Berge, Iwobi, Kevin, Wilson & Raul.

Wolves: Johnstone, Doherty, Bueno, Krejcki, Agbadou, Wolffe, Gomes, Andre, Arias, Munetsi & Strand Larsen.

Selhurst Park, 1st November, 23:00

An all-London clash here pits Crystal Palace against Brentford, with both sides looking to kick on over the coming weeks and months.
European football has added to the list of things for Palace to consider this term but they seem to be balancing their fixtures well and they are a threat in every game they play.
Keith Andrews has overseen a decent transformation at Brentford and their 3-2 win over Liverpool last time out should give them plenty of confidence.
With both sides booking their place in the Carabao Cup last eight in miweek, they should be bang up for this but Palace could sneak the points at home.

	BTTS	$1.65
	Crystal Palace to win the match	$1.85
	Igor Thiago to score (anytime)	$2.40

Predicted Lineups:

Crystal Palace: Henderson, Munoz, Guehi, Lacroix, Richards, Mitchell, Kamada, Wharton, Hughes, Sarr, Pino & Mateta.

Brentford: Kelleher, Kayode, Ajer, Collins, Hickey, Yarmolyuk, Henderson, Jensen, Ouattarra, Schade & Thiago.

City Ground, 1st November, 23:00

Sean Dyche will be looking to pick up his second win as Nottingham Forest manager, as the Tricky Trees host high-flying Manchester United.
For Forest, climbing away from relegation trouble will be key and the City Ground will need to become a fortress for them to do that over the coming weeks and months.
Manchester United meanwhile have won a remarkable three consecutive games and are dreaming of mounting a Premier League title challenge under Ruben Amorim.
This could be a good one but United look to be very high in confidence currently and they could leave the East Midlands with all three points.

Bookmaker	Tip	Odds
	Bruno Fernandes to score or assist (anytime)	$2.00
	BTTS	$1.75
	Manchester United to win the match	$2.25

Predicted Lineups:

Nottingham Forest: Sels, Williams, Murillo, Milenkovic, Savona, Luiz, Yates, McAtee, Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-White & Jesus.

Manchester United: Lammens, Dalot, Maguire, Shaw, De Ligt, Dorgu, Casemiro, Fernandes, Cunha, Mbuemo & Mount.

Turf Moor, 1st November, 23:00

Scott Parker's Burnley side are beginning to adjust to life in the Premier League, having won their last two games and an enticing contest with Arsenal awaits next.
Survival remains the key objective for the Clarets and while games such as  this are free hits, they will want to test themselves against the best side in the land currently.
Stopping Arsenal will be tough, with the Gunners flying in all four competitions and there is a feeling that Mikel Arteta's side are ready to break their trophy duck this term.
This will be tight and cagey but Arsenal should leave Lancashire with an important three points.

Bookmaker	Tip	Odds
	Under 2.5 goals in the game	$1.80
	Arsenal to win the match	$1.33
	BTTS - NO	$1.90

Predicted Lineups:

Burnley: Dubravka, Walker, Ekdal, Tuanzebe, Esteve, Hartman, Florentino, Cullen, Antony, Foster & Flemming.

Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Zubimendi, Rice, Merino, Saka, Trossard & Gyokeres.

AMEX Stadium, 1st November, 23:00

Brighton will be looking to kick on and compete for a European place this season and they face a tricky looking visit from Leeds United next.
The Seagulls remain one of the most enigmatic sides in the Premier League and their 4-2 loss to Manchester United last weekend exemplified their inconsistent nature currently.
Leeds meanwhile will be bouncing having overcome West Ham last weekend and Premier League survival feels very much within reach for Daniel Farke's side.
This should be a good game, with home advantage potentially enough to get the Seagulls over the line.

Bookmaker	Tip	Odds
	Danny Welbeck to score (anytime)	$2.20
	Brighton to win the match	$1.77
	BTTS	$1.80

Predicted Lineups:

Brighton: Verbruggen, Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, Kadioglu, Ayari, Baleba, Mitoma, Minteh, Rutter & Welbeck.

Leeds United: Perri, Bogle, Bijol, Rodon, Gudmundsson, Ampadu, Longstaff, Aaronson, Stach, Calvert-Lewin & Okafor.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, 2nd November, 01:30

A big London derby pits Tottenham vs Chelsea in North London, with both sides in need of some consistency and momentum this season.
Thomas Frank has improved the outlook at Spurs but a midweek Carabao Cup defeat to Newcastle was a reminder of their shortcomings currently.
Chelsea overcame Wolves in a chaotic one to reach the last eight of the cup but their late loss to Sunderland last weekend will provide yet more questions for Enzo Maresca's side.
Chaos could be the order of the day in this one and both sides could end up settling for a draw.

Bookmaker	Tip	Odds
	Draw	$3.80
	BTTS	$1.65
	A penalty to be awarded in the match	$2.75

Predicted Lineups:

Tottenham: Vicario, Porro, Danso, Van der Ven, Udogie, Bentancur, Paulinha, Sarr, Richarlison, Kolo Muani & Johnson.

Chelsea: Sanchez, Gusto, James, Cucurella, Tosin, Caicedo, Enzo, Lavia, Garnacho, Neto & Guiu.

Anfield, 2nd November, 04:00

There will be increased anticipation ahead of this one at Anfield, as the pressure begins to mount on Arne Slot at Liverpool.
Defeats to Brentford and Crystal Palace in the last few days have turned up the heat on Liverpool and Aston Villa will be looking to add to their woes in this one.
Villa overcame Manchester City last weekend and are beginning to build some momentum under Unai Emery, making them a dangerous prospect.
However, Liverpool need a win, Anfield will be rocking and they should pick up all three points.

Bookmaker	Tip	Odds
	Mohamed Salah to score (anytime)	$1.95
	BTTS	$1.90
	Liverpool to win the match	$1.57

Predicted Lineups:

Liverpoool: Mamardashvili, Frimpong, Van Dijk, Konate, Robertson, Gravenberch, Szaboszlai, Wirtz, Salah, Gakpo & Ekitike.

Aston Villa: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne, McGinn, Onana, Kamara, Tielemans, Rogers & Watkins.

Olympic Stadium, 2nd November, 22:00

West Ham United are languishing at the foot of the Premier League table and they will be looking for an improved performance and result against Newcastle here.
The Hammers have turned to Nuno Espirito Santo to turn their fortunes around but they have looked way off the pace this term and are in a real relegation scrap.
Newcastle meanwhile have picked up good wins in the Champions League, Premier League and Carabao Cup in the past week but their away form has been patchy.
This should be a good one, with Newcastle's confidence perhaps enough to see them over the line.

Bookmaker	Tip	Odds
	Newcastle United to win the match	$1.95
	Nick Woltemade to score (anytime)	$2.40
	BTTS	$1.80

Predicted Lineups:

West Ham United: Areola, Walker-Peters, Todibo, Kilman, Diouf, Soucek, Fernandes, Paqueta, Summerville, Bowen & Wilson. 

Newcastle United: Pope, Thiaw, Trippier, Botman, Burn, Tonali, Joelinton, Guimaraes, Gordon, Murphy & Woltemade.

Etihad Stadium, 2nd November, 23:00

Manchester City are looking to build momentum in pursuit of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table but they face a side above them in the standings here in Bournemouth.
City are still feeling their way into the campaign, which was shown by their loss to Aston Villa last weekend but they showed their teeth to overcome Swansea City in the Carabao Cup in midweek.
Bournemouth meanwhile are flying and they will not fear this assignment whatsoever, despite not having a good record at the Etihad.
City will come out and play, which will help Bournemouth and the Cherries look great value to pick up a famous win here.

Bookmaker	Tip	Odds
	A red card to be shown in the match	$4.00
	Bournemouth to win the match	$6.50
	BTTS	$1.65

Stadium of Light, 4th November, 04:00

High-flying Sunderland are dreaming of cracking the Premier League big time and they will be looking to keep their momentum going against David Moyes's Everton side.
The Black Cats overcame Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last time out and nothing appears to be giving them any sense of worry currently, as they compete with the Premier League's biggest hitters.
Everton meanwhile suffered a tough 3-0 loss to Tottenham last weekend and they will need to pick themselves up for this one.
Plenty of momentum is building around Sunderland but this could end up as a draw in the North East.

Bookmaker	Tip	Odds
	BTTS	$1.85
	Draw	$3.15
	A penalty to be awarded in the match	$3.40
