Chelsea is 9-1-1 in its last 11 matches at home. Currently sitting five points behind Tottenham for fourth place on the English Premier League table, the club hopes to continue its strong play at home and cut that gap down to two points with a win at home over Tottenham.

Chelsea is going off as a +135 home favorite at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. After earning points in eight straight games over a 5-0-3 run that started back in December, Chelsea slid in the standings on the heels of a 1-4 run that included three losses on the road. The club snapped that skid with a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace last month and will try to earn another win Sunday against Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham is 0-7-4 in its last 11 road matches against Chelsea.
Manchester City has not conceded a goal in its last three league matches, picking up clean sheets in a 3-0 road win over Arsenal, a 1-0 home win over Chelsea and a 2-0 road win over Stoke City. The league’s top team looks to continue its stretch of dominance as -305 road favorites this Saturday visiting Everton (+800 to win, +400 to draw). Everton defeated Manchester City 4-0 when these two teams met at Goodison Park last season.
In what looks to be one of the most evenly-matched games on the board, West Ham United (+180) hosts Southampton (+160 to win, +215 to draw) with three valuable points on the line for two teams looking to avoid relegation. With West Ham sitting in 17th place on the table with 30 points and Southampton sitting in 18th place with 28, a win in this match would temporarily get the winner out of the danger zone in the bottom three.
Back at the top of the table, rounding out the top five in action this weekend are Liverpool (-205) on the road against Crystal Palace (+550 to win, +340 to draw) and Manchester United (-475) hosting Swansea City (+1300 to win, +500 to draw). Since their rocky start to the season of 3-2-4, Liverpool has steadily climbed the table up to third place with a 15-2-5 run.
