The Selector's full 10-match scoreline call for Gameweek 7, with reasoning on every pick and a banker of the round.
Kick-off window locks Saturday 17 October at 12:30 BST.
Chelsea have scored 15 this season but conceded 13 — leaky at the back despite firepower. Everton sit 5th with a +3 goal difference and have conceded just 5, making them a tighter defensive proposition. Close match, Everton edge it.
Fulham vs Hull City AFC
2-0
Kick-off: Saturday 17 October at 15:00 BST
Fulham sit 20th with just 2 points and a -4 goal difference, having scored only 6 and conceded 10 this season. Hull City are 8th with a +2 goal difference and better defensive shape. Fulham's poor form at home hands Hull a platform; Fulham fail to score.
Manchester City vs Ipswich TownBanker
3-0
Kick-off: Saturday 17 October at 15:00 BST
City at 1.27 is the shortest price on the card — market consensus is one-sided. Haaland has 6 goals, City sit 1st with +11 goal difference and 16 goals scored. This is the banker; City dominate a newly promoted side without breaking sweat.
Brentford vs Liverpool
1-1
Kick-off: Saturday 17 October at 15:00 BST
Both sides carry attacking threat and neither is built to sit deep — Brentford scored 12, Liverpool 7. Fixture shape is open-play chess. Both will carve chances and both will leak; the natural landing is a share of the spoils.
Newcastle United vs Aston Villa
1-2
Kick-off: Saturday 17 October at 17:30 BST
Isak has 4 goals this season for Liverpool — the attacking anchor at pace. Newcastle sit 11th having conceded 13 and are missing Elanga, leaving their build-up fragile. Isak's runs translate to a road win; 1-2.
Leeds United vs Manchester United
1-1
Kick-off: Sunday 18 October at 14:00 BST
Leeds are 7th with a +3 goal difference and 9 points; Manchester United sit 13th on zero goal difference with just 6 points. Leeds' solidity and better standing make them the marginal favourite at home, but United carry enough threat to draw level. Close, even match.
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace
2-0
Kick-off: Sunday 18 October at 14:00 BST
Brighton at 1.56 is a short-priced home favourite with real substance — 3rd place, 13 points, +13 goal difference. They have scored 18 this season against Palace's 9. Short-priced home favourites in that range land shutouts north of 50% of the time; Brighton's clean sheet fits.
Bournemouth vs Sunderland AFC
2-1
Kick-off: Sunday 18 October at 14:00 BST
Bournemouth are 18th with -6 goal difference and 3 points; Sunderland sit 17th on -6 GD with 4 points. Both are fragile defensively and scoreline-light, but Bournemouth have slightly more threat. Low-scoring home win reflects the vulnerability at the back on both sides.
Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal
0-2
Kick-off: Sunday 18 October at 16:30 BST
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal setup is defensively disciplined and suffocating in possession — despite missing Saliba to injury, the spine remains sound. Nottingham Forest scored just 5 this season and have conceded 8. Arsenal's control mechanism delivers a shutout on the road; 0-2.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Coventry City
2-0
Kick-off: Monday 19 October at 20:00 BST
Tottenham have scored just 3 this season and conceded 9, sitting 19th — an attacking crisis married to defensive fragility. Coventry are newly promoted with -6 goal difference and 5 goals scored. Tottenham's attacking desperation at home pushes them toward a low-scoring win; they convert the few chances they make.
