Arsenal remains 2 points wide of Manchester City for the apical spot successful the EPL aft MatchWeek 14, portion Chelsea is inactive successful the apical 6 suffering a 4-1 nonaccomplishment to Brighton past week. Who bash you similar successful this matchup and why?

Paul Carr: Arsenal are legit, ranking a shadiness down Manchester City successful astir underlying numbers this season. Chelsea person not been legit, sitting 13th successful expected-goal quality this play (-3.1) and conceding the third-best shots of immoderate Premier League team. With each of Chelsea's wounded issues, I thin Arsenal successful this 1 (+180), though I'd alternatively person a terms person to +200.

Daniel Thomas: I can't hold for this game. Arsenal person been truthful awesome truthful acold this play and volition spell into this necktie rightly afloat of confidence. Chelsea suffered their archetypal decision nether Graham Potter against Brighton wherever they were woeful, particularly astatine the back. I expect Arsenal to exploit those frailties this play and I deliberation the Gunners volition get the win.

Fulham looks to get backmost to their winning ways arsenic they question to Etihad Stadium to look defending champions Manchester City. Fulham is connected a four-match unbeaten streak and person rapidly climbed up the array to seventh. Do you similar the Lilywhites to get it done this week oregon volition Pep Guardiola's squad get the victory?

Carr: With some teams ranking successful the apical 4 successful full goals per crippled this season, scoring is evidently expected astatine the Etihad, arsenic the terms connected implicit 3.5 goals suggests (-150). I'd alternatively play both teams to people (-115), since Fulham aren't a pack-it-in benignant of team, adjacent connected the road. They've had astatine slightest 8 shots and 0.7 expected goals successful each six distant games this season, scoring against some Arsenal and Tottenham. City volition score, arsenic they've done successful each location crippled this season, and I deliberation Fulham nicks 1 too.

Thomas: City to thrash Fulham. Erling Haaland oregon not, expect a large win.

The Tottenham Hotspur are looking to enactment among apical teams connected the EPL array portion Liverpool hopes for astatine champion a fourth-place decorativeness aft a unspeakable commencement to the season. Can the Hotspur instrumentality vantage of Liverpool's struggles connected the roadworthy oregon volition Jürgen Klopp's nine propulsion disconnected the upset?

Carr: Even aft Liverpool's 2-0 triumph implicit Napoli, I can't instrumentality the Reds here. Tuesday's crippled was astatine Anfield, and Liverpool remains winless successful distant league games this play (two draws, 3 losses), including a stunning nonaccomplishment astatine Nottingham Forest 2 weeks ago. It's not arsenic though Liverpool person been unlucky, not with an expected extremity quality of -2.2 successful those 5 distant games. Tottenham person been bully astatine White Hart Lane this season, winning 5 of six league games, but haven't faced immoderate of the accepted apical six teams determination yet. Son Heung-Min's lack makes the draw (+265) adjacent much likely, and that's my play.

Thomas: Depends which Spurs turns up. They support forgetting to play successful the archetypal half, which could person outgo them dearly successful caller matches. Liverpool person mislaid to Forest and Leeds going into this match, but I conscionable person the feeling the Reds tin instrumentality each 3 points from North London.

What are you looking astatine successful the different European leagues?

Thomas: There whitethorn beryllium immoderate worth connected Gerard Pique to score connected his last location crippled ever for Barca. Maybe determination volition beryllium a ceremonial pen that he'd beryllium allowed to instrumentality earlier going disconnected into the Catalan sunset.

What is your champion stake for the weekend?

Carr: As usual, I'm going with both teams to people successful a Leicester City distant crippled (-130), this 1 astatine Everton connected Saturday. The Foxes someway didn't concede a extremity successful their 4-0 triumph astatine Wolves 2 weeks ago, contempt allowing 21 shots and 2.1 expected goals. Now they look an Everton broadside that seems to person a bully defense, having allowed 12 goals this season, fourth-fewest successful the league. But the Toffees person fixed up 19.6 non-penalty expected goals, second-most successful the league. With 2 defenses that aren't precise good, I expect some teams to get astatine slightest 1 extremity here.
