Liverpool is a +130 favorite on the Premier League odds to win this match at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The team surrendered its first goal of the season in the second half off a 2-1 road win over Leicester City, but through the first four games of the 2018-19 season, Liverpool has been in complete control of its games.
Tottenham (+205 to win, +270 to draw) has struggled against Liverpool in recent seasons with only one win and four draws across a 1-4-7 run in the last 12 matches between these two teams.
With an outright 2-1 win in a come-from-behind effort last weekend, Watford delivered a big upset as +450 underdogs against Tottenham to send its fans home happy. Watford is off to a surprising 4-0-0 start and hopes to keep the ball rolling with another upset at home this Saturday.
The home team is going off at +330 as Manchester United is a -105 favorite to win and draw odds are paying +260.
Manchester United’s season is off to a disastrous 2-0-2 start as the club has scored just six goals while surrendering seven. Bettors that want to support Watford at home but can’t decide between betting on the win or draw could take Watford at +0.5 paying -105 in this one.
Rounding out the 4-0-0 teams in action this week is Chelsea, going off as a huge -550 favorite over Cardiff City (+1800 to win, +650 to draw). This will be the first meeting between Chelsea and Cardiff City since the last time Cardiff was in the Premier League back in 2014. Chelsea has won each of its last three games against Cardiff City.
Manchester City isn’t far behind the leaders at 3-1-0, picking up a stunning draw last month against the Wolves. City is the biggest favorite on the board this Saturday at -800 hosting Fulham (+2400 to win, +900 to draw).
