Chelsea has the toughest matchup of the three this weekend as a -135 favorite on the Premier League odds hosting Manchester United on Saturday at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.
Manchester United (+400 to defeat Chelsea, +275 to draw) is off to a rough start this season at 4-1-3, but the weekend off last week may have given the club a chance to hit the reset button and get back on track this season. In the last 16 matches between these two squads, Chelsea holds a convincing 9-5-2 advantage including an 8-1-0 record at home.
Manchester City is often the biggest favorite on the betting board in the EPL and this weekend is no exception. City is a -1400 betting favorite hosting Burnley (+3000 to win, +1000 to draw). Manchester City is 4-0-0 at home this season and has outscored the opposition 13-2 over those four matches.
Rounding out the remaining undefeated teams, Liverpool is a -325 favorite on the road facing Huddersfield Town (+1000 to win, +425 to draw). Huddersfield is still looking for its first win of the season with an 0-3-5 record through its first eight matches of 2018. Liverpool is 9-2-0 in its last 11 games against Huddersfield Town.
Arsenal’s 0-0-2 start to the season is a distant memory now as the club earned its sixth straight win in a 5-1 road win over Fulham in its last gameday. The team will look to keep rolling this Monday with another win as -190 favorites when they host Leicester City (+550 to win, +355 to draw). Arsenal is 24-3-3 over its last 30 league home games.
Tottenham Hotspur is also still in the mix with the same record as Arsenal at 6-0-2. Tottenham will try to earn three points this Saturday as a -110 road favorite against West Ham United (+320 to win, +280 to draw). West Ham has picked up wins at home in two of its last three home games against Tottenham.
