Leeds United vs. Manchester City
Manchester City will travel to Elland Road on Sunday, October 4 at 3:30am (All times AEST).
Leeds will be eyeing a third straight victory when they come up against fellow northern giants Manchester City. While the Whites have won back-to-back fixtures, their victories come over the struggling Sheffield United and relegation favourites Fulham, with this weekend’s clash a tough task to make it three on the trot.
City find themselves out of form and sitting 13th on the table with a game in hand following their shock loss to Leicester in match-week three after Pep Guardiola’s side conceded five goals at home, the first time since 2003.
To fill in the holes, City spent $112 million AUD on Portuguese defender Ruben Dias midweek, hoping for a change in fortune. While form will suggest the home side will take the three points, expect City to bounce back and return home with a win.
Tip: Manchester City Win @ $1.33
Wolverhampton vs. Fulham
Wolves will host the Cottagers at the Molineux on Monday, October 5 at 12:00am.
Both sides will be looking to put last weekend behind them and claim maximum points at the Molineux Stadium in match-week four. Wolves were battered by a gritty West Ham unit 4-0 in London, with the club’s defence pulled apart while their attacking trio lacked creativity for the second week in a row.
Luckily for Wolverhampton, they will face a Fulham side not worthy of the top flight, with weaknesses riddled throughout Scott Parker’s line-up. The Cottagers have conceded 10 goals in their opening three matches and sit last on the Premier League table.
The club’s structure seems non-existent, with a hungry Wolves pack set top feast on a calamitous back third.
Tip: Wolverhampton Win @ $1.50
Aston Villa vs. Liverpool
The Reds will travel to the Midlands to face Aston Villa on Monday, October 5 at 5:15am.
Aston Villa were situated at the opposite end of the table in contrast to Liverpool last season, and while the Reds are heavily favoured for the victory in this fixture, there’s no ruling out the Lions. Villa are two wins from two games and look to have great fluidity moving forward.
Jack Grealish will be the difference maker if these underdogs are to snatch points against the reigning champions. For Liverpool, it should be business as usual. Jurgen Klopp’s men have started as everyone expected, three wins from three and looking as dominant as ever. Sadio Mane and Mo Salah are flying the flag once again and will need to carry their strong form into this weekend as they face a Villa defense that is yet to concede. Liverpool should get the job done, but this will be no cakewalk.
Tip: Liverpool Win @ $1.30
