Premier League Gameweek 10 Preview

There are seven Premier League matches on Saturday as the top-flight season reaches its tenth set of fixtures and among them league leaders Manchester City travel to Bournemouth expecting to retain their place at the summit.

We have a quartet of selections to play in a Premier League accumulator, which pays out at 13/1 with bet365.

Saturday’s selections

1. Manchester City to beat Bournemouth @ 11/20 with bet365
2. Ipswich v Leicester: Over 2.5 goals @ 8/11 with bet365
3. Nottingham Forest v West Ham: Under 2.5 goals @ Evens with bet365
4. Wolves to beat Crystal Palace @ 13/8 with bet365

Tip 1: Manchester City to beat Bournemouth @ 11/20 with bet365

Manchester City took over from Liverpool at the top of the Premier League last weekend and there will be a sense of dread filling City’s rivals. Pep Guardiola’s men have won the last four Premier League titles and appear well set to continue their streak of success.

Trips to the likes of Bournemouth are essential points gathering exercises for City if they are to continue their dominance and Guardiola made it clear last weekend that this fixture was much more important than the midweek EFL Cup visit to Tottenham. Expect a fully focused City to take three points from the Vitality Stadium.

Tip 2: Ipswich v Leicester: Over 2.5 goals @ 8/11 with bet365

Leicester away games in the Premier League this season have been entertaining affairs – the Foxes have scored eight goals and conceded 10 in their four road trips. Manager Steve Cooper clearly likes to show ambition away from home and will probably target three points at Ipswich.

Leicester scored three goals at Southampton in their last Premier League away game and a positive approach should mean this match yields three or more goals in total.

Tip 3: Nottingham Forest v West Ham: Under 2.5 goals @ Evens with bet365

While goals can be expected to flow at Portman Road, the opposite may be the case at the City Ground, where Nottingham Forest and West Ham could play out a low-scoring contest.

Despite riding high in the table, Forest have scored only three home league goals and have conceded the same amount, meaning just six goals in total in four Premier League home outings. Given how low-scoring the Irons’ away games have been this term, it is easy to imagine a tight encounter dominated by defences on Saturday.

Tip 4: Wolves to beat Crystal Palace @ 13/8 with bet365

Wolves fans and players alike were overjoyed when they snatched a dramatic point from Brighton last Saturday and the confidence gained from that heroic comeback can be used to great effect against Crystal Palace.

Wolves have arguably played better this season than their league position indicates and they can haul their way closer to safety by beating Palace.

It seems a significant advantage for Wolves that they have not played since last Saturday, while the Eagles endured a Wednesday night trip to Aston Villa in the EFL Cup.
