Gameweek 7 looms large in the Premier League and there are some crucial fixtures up and down the top-flight this weekend.
There are four matches on Saturday, including a teatime fixture between Chelsea and Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
Five matches on Sunday conclude with Manchester City’s visit to Brentford, where the Citizens will be looking to extend a six-match unbeaten streak in all competitions.
We have put together an accumulator for the Saturday matches which pays almost 17/1 in the football odds.
Selections
Leeds versus Tottenham BTTS @ 7/10
Arsenal to beat West Ham @ 2/9
Manchester United to beat Sunderland and BTTS @ 2/1
Chelsea to beat Liverpool @ 15/8
Four-fold @ 17/1
Goals on the cards at Elland Road
Leeds are yet to lose at home this season and Tottenham fans travelling north expecting an easy ride at Elland Road could be in for a rude awakening.
Backing both teams to score could prove a smart move. A passionate home crowd will demand a positive approach and Daniel Farke’s side have enough attacking menace to penetrate Spurs.
The visitors may be sluggish after a midweek trip to Norway in the Champions League, but they have scored four goals on each of their last two visits to Elland Road.
Leg 1: Leeds versus Tottenham BTTS @ 7/10
Gunners to make no mistake in derby
West Ham are adjusting to life under a new manager Nuno Espirito Santo and the Hammers seem unlikely to be ready to repel a confident Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
Having already negotiated some tricky away fixtures, including a trip to Anfield, the Gunners are thrilled with their start to the season.
Mikel Arteta knows how important it is that his team take full points at home to the weaker sides in the league, so a determined and ruthless performance can be anticipated against the Hammers.
Leg 2: Arsenal to beat West Ham @ 2/9
Victory to ease pressure on Amorim
Ruben Amorim knows that failure to beat Sunderland at Old Trafford on Saturday could signal the end of his tenure as Manchester United manager.
Pressure is mounting on the Portuguese chief and a dramatic afternoon seems almost certain.
The tension in the United ranks means the Black Cats can have high hopes of getting on the scoresheet, but the class of the home side should be enough to deliver the three points that Amorim and his team so desperately need.
Leg 3: Manchester United to beat Sunderland and BTTS @ 2/1
Reds to be given the Blues at the Bridge
Liverpool will almost certainly have to cope without goalkeeper Alisson for their trip to Stamford Bridge on Saturday, making them vulnerable against Chelsea.
The champions have been fortunate to claim 15 points from their first six matches of the season, failing to produce the form which saw them dominate the league last term.
The Blues have been suffering with red cards, but the Londoners’ vast squad has every base covered and, if they can keep 11 players on the pitch, a home victory seems on the cards.
Leg 4: Chelsea to beat Liverpool @ 15/8
