In another battle between two top-five teams on Sunday, Chelsea is a slight favorite at +145 hosting Manchester United (+205 to win, +210 to draw). Chelsea has dominated this rivalry in recent years with a 7-1-5 record in its last 13 games against Manchester United.
This has been an up-and-down season for a Chelsea club that is coming into this game off an ugly 1-0 loss at Bournemouth in league play and a 3-0 loss to Roma in the Champions League Group Stage. Manchester United is coming off a strong 1-0 result over Tottenham last Saturday.
Tottenham is also in action on Sunday as a -385 favorite hosting Crystal Palace (+1000 to win, +475 to draw). Since kicking off the season 0-7 and being outscored 17-0 through its first seven league games, Crystal Palace is 1-1-1 over its last three, including a win over Chelsea and an equal number of goals scored and surrendered with four apiece.
Tottenham sits at third on the EPL table with a 6-2-2 record and has a strong opportunity in this game to earn three points and potentially gain some ground.
Saturday’s English Premier League card includes West Ham United (+425) vs. Liverpool (-165 to win, +310 to draw) and Southampton (-160) vs. Burnley (+525 to win, +280 to draw). In 54 all-time meetings between Burnley and Southampton, the two teams are tied 20-20-14 against one another.
