The Selector's full 10-match scoreline call for Gameweek 4, with reasoning on every pick and a banker of the round.
Kick-off window locks Saturday 12 September at 15:00 BST.
Palace at home priced 1.94 sits value territory for a side with Dwight McNeil's creative thrust and Eddie Nketiah's finishing threat. Ipswich are newly promoted under Gary O'Neil — early-season away form rarely clicks for that profile, and Sage's Palace have shown defensive solidity at Selhurst. Expect the hosts to edge a tight contest.
Liverpool vs FulhamBanker
3-0
Kick-off: Saturday 12 September at 15:00 BST
Liverpool are favourites at 1.47 and priced to win decisively against a Fulham side managed by Arbeloa facing one of the elite's most lethal attacks. Andoni Iraola's Liverpool deploy high-intensity pressing; Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak combined are too sharp for Fulham's transitional shape. Clean sheet and convincing scoreline — banker material.
Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest
2-1
Kick-off: Saturday 12 September at 15:00 BST
Villa's 2.36 home odds undervalue Unai Emery's control and Tammy Abraham's penalty-box presence against a Forest side that ships chances on the road. Oliver Glasner's visitors have attacking ambition through Callum Hudson-Odoi, but Villa's midfield dominance in home fixtures typically suffocates that threat. One-goal home win fits the market shape.
Bournemouth vs Brentford
1-1
Kick-off: Saturday 12 September at 15:00 BST
Bournemouth 2.54, Brentford 2.86 — market pricing screams value in the draw at 3.75. Marco Rose's pressing shape and Brentford's efficient counter-attacks create a stalemate archetype; both defences are sound, neither side runs away with possession. High-tempo but low-score pattern worth backing.
Chelsea vs Hull City AFC
4-0
Kick-off: Saturday 12 September at 15:00 BST
Chelsea's 1.25 reflects Hull's newly promoted status perfectly — Xabi Alonso's attacking template and the gap in quality are enormous. Estêvão and the Chelsea frontline will dismantle a promoted defence early in their top-flight journey. Expect a rout; four-nil reflects the odds' confidence.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton
2-1
Kick-off: Saturday 12 September at 17:30 BST
Spurs' De Zerbi side carries attacking intent through Richarlison and Omar Khaled Mohamed Abdelsalam Marmoush; Everton under David Moyes are compact but vulnerable to pacy transitions at home. Tottenham's 2.10 is worth trusting — Spurs shade a frantic affair where Everton score once but cannot hold.
Sunderland AFC vs Arsenal
0-2
Kick-off: Saturday 12 September at 20:00 BST
Arsenal at 1.52 away in a Saturday prime slot against a Sunderland side managed by Régis Le Bris is almost a lay rather than a back. Mikel Arteta's elite outfit boast Viktor Gyökeres, Bukayo Saka, and Kai Havertz in lethal form; Sunderland's 8.00 home odds reflect the gulf. Arsenal win decisively and clean sheet holds.
Coventry City vs Brighton & Hove Albion
1-2
Kick-off: Sunday 13 September at 14:00 BST
Brighton's 1.94 away looks short given Coventry's newly promoted poise under Frank Lampard and home fortress mentality. Fabian Hürzeler's Brighton are polished but Coventry will frustrate — Ellis Simms offers set-piece threat, and the draw lurks at 4.00. Away win requires Brighton's high line to hold; we back the guests by one, thin margins.
Manchester United vs Manchester City
1-1
Kick-off: Sunday 13 September at 16:30 BST
Manchester derby at 3.35 home, 2.18 away splits a volatile fixture. Michael Carrick's United have Marcus Rashford's directness; Enzo Maresca's City possess Erling Haaland and Jérémy Doku's invention. Both teams create high-xG, both defences spill in derbies — draw reflects the balanced threat and mid-odds value.
Leeds United vs Newcastle United
1-2
Kick-off: Monday 14 September at 20:00 BST
Leeds' Daniel Farke often frustrates bigger sides with deep blocks; Newcastle at 3.05 away hold genuine winning chances through Yoane Wissa and Anthony Elanga's attacking running. Dominic Calvert-Lewin provides Leeds a goal threat, but Matthias Jaissle's Newcastle possess the quality to nick it on the road — one-goal victory in a tight Yorkshire contest.
