Nottingham Forest v Man City Bet Builder @ 3.85

They will fancy their chances of doing so against a Nottingham Forest side who were beaten 1-0 by Fulham on Monday night. Pep Guardiola’s men made it six straight league victories at the weekend, as they eased past West Ham by a 3-0 scoreline. The Citizens were in flow state at the Etihad, as they racked up 17 shots and eight big chances worth 2.1 xG. Erling Haaland bagged himself a brace to take his tally to 25 goals across all competitions for the season, with 19 of those scored in the Premier League.

That result keeps them within touching distance of Arsenal, just two points behind the Gunners. Mikel Arteta’s men haven’t quite been at their best in recent weeks, and were fortunate to scrape a win against Everton last time out. It’s an ideal time for Man City to capitalise here, and they are going to be a tough side to beat.

The City Ground hasn’t been the easiest place to visit this season, as Sean Dyche has restored Forests’ reputation of being a difficult site to face in Nottingham. They have lost just one of their six matches under the new manager at home, during which over 1.5 goals has landed in every game. 

Man City have also had no issues finding the back of the net on their travels, and they have scored ten goals in their three away games alone. In their last away outing at Selhurst Park, Man City pulled off a 3-0 win courtesy of another Erling Haaland brace, while Phil Foden also chipped in with a goal. 

The Citizens beat Real Madrid 2-0 at the Bernabeu before that, forcing six saves from Thibaut Courtois, highlighting their threat in the final third even against the elite sides.

Man City have taken nine points from their last three away games, but haven’t quite been so watertight at the back, conceding a total of five goals across those matches. Although that has come from 4.5 xG, Man City have actually allowed their opponents to register more efforts than them in all three of those games. 

However, it is worth noting how the vast majority of those shots tend to be speculative, from outside the box. Based on that, Elliot Anderson becomes a target here. He is averaging 1.56 shots per 90 at the City Ground this season, and has landed this bet in eight of his ten starts in all competitions. 

Eight of his 17 Premier League efforts have come from outside the box, while the Englishman will also be a candidate to take penalties, after converting one against Leeds earlier in the season.

Morgan Gibbs-White was kept relatively quiet against Fulham on Monday night, but he did still manage to land this selection with two shots before being substituted after 73 minutes. 

The Forest skipper has hit this mark in all ten appearances at the City Ground this season, during which he is averaging 3.0 shots per 90. Gibbs-White has four goals to his name this season, and all four have come on home turf, highlighting how he plays with an extra confidence in front of a home crowd. 

Man City present a tough matchup for him here, but Gibbs-White did land this bet against the Citizens in both home matches last season. He registered three shots at the City Ground in the FA Cup sem-final against Pep Guardiola’s men, before repeating that feat with four attempts in the Premier League meeting.

Chelsea v Aston Villa Bet Builder @ 3.44

Matty Cash has been a reliable performer for Villa this season and is encouraged to get forward and hold the width by Unai Emery, making him a good player to watch to win fouls in this clash.

Cash has won 16 fouls across his 17 Premier League appearances this term (0.96 per 90) and has been fouled in two of his last five Premier League matches. Aston Villa are the most fouled side in the Premier League this season, winning nearly 14 fouls per game - offering promise ahead of a clash against a side that can be very petulant.

Chelsea committed 14 fouls and picked up six yellow cards in their most recent Premier League assignment against Newcastle, highlighting the aggression they could approach this game with. Cash’s main opponents here are likely to be Garnacho and Cucurella who combine to commit 2.13 fouls per 90 in the Premier League this season.

Cash is likely to brush shoulders with Cucurella on quite a few occasions here as he is encouraged to push high up the pitch and offer width for Villa. This could also be worth watching from a tactical perspective, as Cucurella also likes to push up and occupy the left half space - so there could be a few recovery challenges made by both players when they are caught out of position.

Reece James is now a permanent fixture in midfield for Chelsea, which means that we can explore a few more betting angles for him than we could when he was a right back - namely shots and fouls won.

James has won 17 fouls across his 12 starts in the Premier League this season (1.38 per 90) which is already more fouls than he won across the entirety of last season (11 - 0.93 per 90). He’s a very tough man to knock off the ball, and will have quite a few Villa players that could bring him to the ground.

James was fouled three times in Chelsea’s most recent Premier League game at Stamford Bridge as they ran out 2-0 winners over Everton. No player won more fouls on that occasion, and James’ potential battle against Tielemans, Onana and Kamara really stands out to me here.

Villa play with their forwards tucked in, creating quite a narrow shape so we can expect James to constantly have bodies around him - increasing the chances of him being hauled to the ground. His main opponent is likely to be Youri Tielemans who is averaging 1.84 fouls committed per 90 in the Premier League this season and has committed a foul in each of his last five Premier League starts.

This should be quite an entertaining game, Villa come into the clash having won each of their last 10 matches across all competitions - with 2+ goals landing in nine of these games. The only game in which Villa failed to cover this line themselves, was a 1-0 win over Wolves which was a scrappy contest.

Chelsea have seen 2+ goals in four of their last five matches across all competitions, with the exception of a 0-0 draw against Bournemouth. The Blues have seen 19 goals across their eight matches at Stamford Bridge this term (2.3 per game) but Chelsea have only managed to win four of these games, opening the door for Villa to extend their incredible winning run.

Villa’s eight away matches in the Premier League have produced 23 goals (2.8 per game) with Unai Emery’s side being a bit stronger on the road than they were last season, losing just two of their eight away matches. 

Recent head to head meetings also offer promise when looking to back goals in this clash, with each of the last four head to head clashes between the sides producing at least two goals. 

Aston Villa have had 3+ shots on target in each of their last nine Premier League matches, and in 13 of their 17 matches overall in the top flight. The only reason as to why this record isn’t even stronger is due to Villa’s slow start to the campaign - all four instances where Villa failed to cover this line came in the first eight matches of the season.

Chelsea have conceded 3+ shots on target in 10 of their 17 matches in the Premier League this season, and I’d expect them to come under serious pressure at points in this game with the confidence that Villa are currently playing with. Chelsea conceded five shots on target against Newcastle last time out, and looked particularly vulnerable in transition - which is where Villa thrive.

Aston Villa had four shots on target in this fixture last season, despite losing 3-0 on that occasion. They also covered this line very comfortably in the most recent head to head clash with Villa having six shots on target in a 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Villa Park.
