Arsenal vs. Aston Villa |
 |
Over 2.5 goals at 1.90 (bet365)
In all competitions, the last eleven meetings between the two that were hosted by Arsenal went over 2.5 goals. This is a streak that started in 2009. Arsenal’s last two home fixtures went over 2.5 goals and the same can be said for Aston Villa’s last two games, including their 5-goal thriller last week.

Chelsea vs. Norwich |
 |
Chelsea -1.5 at 1.50 (bet365)
Chelsea to win to nil at 1.62 (Sportsbet)
Over the last twelve months 10 of Chelsea’s 11 home wins were by 2+ goals. Norwich have gone 0-2-6 this season and they have yet to score an away goal this campaign.

Southampton vs. Burnley |
 |
Under 2.5 goals at 1.90 (bet365)
Southampton and Burnley have the 18th and 19th worst scoring records in the league, respectively. Defensively both sides are much better, however. Southampton have the 8th best defensive record and Burnley the 14th best. These two statistics tend to result in low scoring games and that has certainly been the case for Southampton. The Saints have seen four of their last five fixtures go under 1.5 goals, with two of those games resulting in 0-0 stalemates. Meanwhile, three of Burnley’s last four games went under 2.5 goals.

Leeds vs. Wolves |

Wolves +0.5 at 1.65 (bet365)
Leeds are struggling with injuries at the moment and it’s hurting their form. They’ve only managed one win in eight matches this season. After a slow start Wolverhampton have won three straight and they completed the double over Leeds last season.
