Chelsea vs Brentford

Christian Nørgaard 3+ Tackles 

Advised Bet: 1pt @ 4/5 Sky Bet

Chelsea welcome Brentford to Stamford Bridge for a West London derby on Saturday afternoon with the Blues looking to build on their recent revival. Mauricio Pochettino’s troops have climbed into the top-half and are rated firm favourites against a Bees side that’s managed a solitary Premier League success in seven.

Expect Brentford to cede possession and territory here with Thomas Frank instructing his deep to utilise counter-attacks and set-piece situations. The Bees are traditionally at their most menacing when pouncing on transitional opportunities and are comfortable biding their time and keeping their shape as they wait for chances to break.

Brentford skipper Christian Nørgaard will be key in the centre of the park, attempting to break up Chelsea’s possession patterns. The Danish international does the dirty work in the Bees midfield and looks an attractive option at 4/5 (1.80) to win 3+ Tackles with Sky Bet. 

Nørgaard averages 2.95 tackles per-90 and has made at least three tackles in six of his nine Premier League appearances this season, giving our selection a solid 67% success-rate. 

Man United vs Man City

Jeremy Doku Over 0.5 Shots on-Target

Advised Bet: 1pt @ 15/8 Unibet

Jeremy Doku has made a fine start to life at Manchester City and the Belgian youngster has the potential to make a real impact on Super Sunday’s derby at Old Trafford. The 21-year-old ran James Milner ragged last weekend against Brighton and now ranks seventh in terms of take-ons, and joint-fourth for successful take-ons, from only 401 minutes of EPL action.

Up against a porous Manchester United rearguard, the City flyer looks overpriced at 15/8 (2.88) on Unibet to land Over 0.5 Shots on-Target. Doku has managed the feat in three of his five league starts thus far, attempting to 2.68 shots per-90; he’s simply too big a price for a player in his advanced position, especially when starting for a side at odds-on quotes.

Aston Villa vs Luton

Ollie Watkins Anytime Goalscorer

Advised Bet: 1pt @ 1/1 bet365

Aston Villa are enjoying a remarkable 11-game winning streak at Villa Park, whilst taking top honours in 13 of 17 home Premier League fixtures under Unai Emery’s tutorship. The Spaniard has seen his side score an average of 2.47 goals during that eye-catching sample, with Ollie Watkins proving to be one of the chief beneficiaries of the current regime. 

Watkins has bagged 12 goals across his last 18 Villa Park outings and arrives at Sunday’s showdown versus Luton with five goals in his last four EPL encounters. The England international therefore looks an appealing prospect at 1/1 (2.00) on bet365 to get on the scoresheet here with the Hatters giving up 1.89 non-penalty Expected Goals (npxG) per-game.
