Brentford vs Aston Villa
I am betting Brentford here, they are dealing with a lot of injuries at present but they played an excellent game at home to Manchester City in their last match and should welcome back centre half Ajer and midfielder Norgaard which are certainly positives. On the other hand, Villa looked poor in their match v Chelsea and they too are missing players with captain Tyrone Mings being suspended today and Leon Bailey still out injured. Aston Villa have won 3 of their last 9 away from home and I do believe they will struggle as favourites today and should be taken on, so betting Brentford +0.25.
Brentford +0.25 min odds 1.80
Leeds Utd vs Burnley
I was disappointed v Burnley in midweek at Old Trafford but in their defence, they had not played since a 0-0 draw at home to West Ham which was 2 and a half week earlier, it may also be the case Burnley target this match v Leeds as a better opportunity for points than they had away to United midweek. They look likely to still be without Nick Pope their number 1 keeper but they could welcome back Maxwell Cornet which would be a major positive for the clarets if he is fit to play. Leeds is also missing Kalvin Phillips and he is so important to Leeds as they have no one else that can do what he does and protects the defenders and they are very exposed without him, as well as that Liam Cooper is also out while Patrick Bamford is a doubt. I just think Burnley are real value +0.5 and should be backed with Leeds missing Phillips.
Burnley +0.5 min odds 1.86
Chelsea vs Liverpool
I am betting Liverpool as underdogs away to Chelsea today and also Over 2.75 goals. Liverpool were -0.25 favourites earlier on in the week but with them having covid cases they have been pushed out to underdogs for the match. They look set to be without Firminiho and Allison through covid while Andy Robertson is suspended but with their replacements, there is very little drop off in performance. As well as that Liverpool head coach Klopp is missing as he has tested positive for covid, however, I don’t believe there is a big drop off when a manager is missing for one game only, the market certainly sees this as a negative and Liverpool are now underdogs as a result of this news which I don’t agree with as they face a totally out of form Chelsea side who have won just 1 of their last 5 matches at home. Chelsea don’t seem to be in a good place at present and Lukaku also seems to be causing issues in the camp and is not happy with how Chelsea play although there are reports this morning, he is also out of this match they are also missing important full-backs Reece James and Ben Chillwell, as well as central defender Thiago Silva and they, are major negatives. I am also betting over 2.75 goals; Manchester City are 11 & 12 points ahead of these teams and they both need to the 3 points and I can see both teams playing an expansive game, I can’t see what good a point is for either team so both sides will have to chase the win and this should lead to an open game with goals.
Liverpool 0 min odds 1.95
Over 2.75 goals min odds 1.96
