I break betting odds news as it happens, so you’re never left behind when the market moves or a top offer lands.
- Arsenal are odds-on favourites at 4/6 to beat Chelsea in Sunday's standout clash
- Manchester City are the shortest-priced favourites of the entire round at 2/11 against Coventry
- Saturday's five-match 3pm card is the busiest of the weekend
Huge Weekend Across Four Days
Arsenal's home clash with Chelsea headlines a massive Premier League weekend, with bookmakers pricing up fixtures spread across Friday, Saturday and Sunday as the season's rhythm continues to build.
Mikel Arteta's side go into the game as 4/6 favourites, but a run of tightly matched fixtures elsewhere on the card means Sunday's headline act is far from the only game worth following closely.
Saturday's five-match 3pm slot carries the bulk of the weekend's action, while Friday and Sunday each offer a couple of standalone fixtures either side of the main event on Sunday afternoon.
bet365 have odds on every single game this weekend as well as an offer for that Super Sunday clash between Arsenal and Chelsea.
Friday And Saturday's Early Fixtures
The weekend gets underway on Friday evening with Liverpool's trip to Ipswich, before Newcastle host Bournemouth in Saturday's early kickoff.
| Kickoff | Fixture | Home | Draw | Away |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fri 8pm | Ipswich vs Liverpool | 17/4 | 15/4 | 1/2 |
| Sat 12:30pm | Newcastle vs Bournemouth | 11/10 | 13/5 | 23/10 |
Liverpool's implied probability of 66.7% at Ipswich makes them clear favourites to open the weekend with a win.
Newcastle's meeting with Bournemouth looks considerably tighter by comparison, with the hosts' 47.6% only narrowly ahead of Bournemouth's 30.3%.
Saturday's Five-Match Afternoon Card
Saturday's 3pm slot carries five fixtures, the busiest window of the entire weekend, spanning everything from Manchester City's near-formality against Coventry to a genuinely tight meeting between Fulham and Crystal Palace.
| Fixture | Home | Draw | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brentford vs Sunderland | 8/13 | 29/10 | 9/2 |
| Brighton vs Leeds | 19/20 | 5/2 | 29/10 |
| Fulham vs Crystal Palace | 13/10 | 9/4 | 9/4 |
| Man City vs Coventry | 2/11 | 7/1 | 11/1 |
| Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham | 7/5 | 12/5 | 19/10 |
Manchester City's implied probability of 84.6% against Coventry is by some distance the shortest price of the entire weekend, reflecting the scale of the gap between one of the division's traditional heavyweights and a newly promoted side still finding its feet.
