Saturday's action includes out-of-form champions Liverpool's tricky evening trip to Brentford, while earlier in the day a rejuvenated Manchester United host Brighton.
Our four-game Saturday acca was a winner last week at 8/1 and we have put together another accumulator for this Saturday’s matches, which would pay out at just over 15/2.

Four-fold @ 15/2
Blues’ winning league run to continue
Chesela got back on track after their 3-1 home loss to Brighton by seeing off Benfica, Liverpool and troubled Nottingham Forest 3-0 at the City Ground last week, and the Club World Cup winners should have enough to ensure three points at home to Sunderland.
The Black Cats have got off to a great start after regaining their top-flight status via the Championship play-offs, but they have scored just one goal in their four away games since coming up and that simply won’t cut it against Enzo Maresca’s side.
Leg 1: Chelsea to beat Sunderland @ 17/40
Cottagers lacking firepower
Fulham head to Newcastle having lost their last three Premier League matches against Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Arsenal, and it is difficult to see them making much of an impression at St James’ Park.
The Cottagers have had an expected-goal (xG) figure higher than 1.1 in just one of their league games this season, so Marco Silva will be concerned his team are not creating enough chances.
Newcastle have lost to Liverpool, Barcelona and Arsenal at home this season, but their Saturday visitors cannot be considered anywhere near that bracket and, after a 3-0 victory over Benfica on Tuesday, the Magpies can come through this one without conceding.
Leg 2: Newcastle to beat Fulham to nil @ 13/8
Dangerous to write off the Seagulls
Guiding Manchester United to their first victory at Anfield in a decade could just prove a turning point for manager Ruben Amorim, but the Red Devils can ill-afford to take their eye off the ball when Brighton head to Old Trafford on Saturday.
Chelsea played the price for underestimating the Seagulls recently when Fabian Hurzeler’s side claimed a 3-1 victory at Stamford Bridge, and they posted a success over another Champions League team last week when they earned a 2-1 win at home to Newcastle, so they are no respecters of reputation.
The mood will surely be lifted at the Theatre of Dreams following their Anfield heroics, but the visitors are capable of at least finding the United net on Saturday in what should be an entertaining affair.
Leg 3: Manchester United vs Brighton BTTS @ 1/2
Bees can make their mark against struggling champions
Liverpool went into Wednesday’s Champions League game against Eintracht Frankfurt having lost their last four matches and they were left reeling last Sunday by Harry Maguire’s late winner in a 2-1 home defeat to Manchester United.
The Reds created enough chances to win that game comfortably, but they have looked shaky in defence for weeks, despite a strong performance from Ibrahim Konate in that game.
Brentford, who were written off by many when Thomas Frank left in the summer and Keith Andrews was put in charge, remain competitive and striker Thiago is just the sort of player who can cause issues for the Reds.
The Bees eased to a 2-0 win at woeful West Ham on Monday and can at least score against the champions, who are also expected to find the back of the net at the GTech.
