Bournemouth v Chelsea – Click here to bet
Bournemouth have played 4 games having lost 2 and drawing 2. They have lost to Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 and lost to Liverpool 3-1, both times losing to second-half goals.
They drew to Brentford with an equalizer from Mbeumo in the 93rd minute and drew to West Ham United with Solanke scoring the equalizer on the opening day at home.
They will be seeking their first win of the season against Chelsea who are sitting 12th on the table 4 spots ahead of them.
Chelsea have had an inconsistent start to the season despite having a busy and expensive transfer window. The side drew to Liverpool 1-1 on the opening day at The Bridge and then were defeated by their London rivals West Ham United the next weekend losing 3-1 after being 1-1 at halftime.
Newly promoted Luton Town were next and Chelsea won the match 3-0 making it their first victory of the campaign. They did not have much time to savour the victory as they lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest in the first week of September.
Prediction
It is going to prove tough for Chelsea to pick up 3 points as they are struggling with form of late. Bournemouth will not make it easy for them as they look to change the narrative of recent head to head form against Chelsea who did the double over Bournemouth last season.
Score: 2-2
Suggested Bet: Handicap Bournemouth +0.5 goals at 21/20

Everton v Arsenal – Click here to bet
Everton have had a tough start to the season having lost 3 of their opening games and drawing their most recent to open their account. The games they have lost they have not managed to score goals and they took a big knock from Aston Villa where the scoreline was 4-0 at Villa Park. Last time out they drew to newly promoted side Sheffield United despite dominating for long periods. The game finished 2-2 with Danjuma scoring the equalizer in the 55th minute at Bramall Lane.
Arsenal have started the season strong as they have won 3 out of their 4 matches. The first win was on opening day at the Emirates where they beat Nottingham Forest 2-1. The side also won their next match at Selhurst Park against their South London rivals Crystal Palace where the scoreline was 1-0.
Arsenal’s first draw of the season came from their match at the Emirates where they hosted a London Derby against Fulham. The scoreline was 2-2 and Fulham was 1-0 up at the break.
A noticeable win was when Arsenal beat Manchester United at the Emirates where the scoreline was 3-1 after the sides were level at the break.
Prediction
Arsenal are looking for their 4th victory of the campaign and I expect them to justify favouritism and to collect the 3 points against Everton.
Score: 1-2
Suggested Bet: Correct Score 1-2 at 7/1
