Premier League Top Picks for the Weekend: Accumulator Tip for October 04

After a midweek of continental action, league games return to the Premier League this weekend, and we will have some selections from the top games on Saturday. Arsenal and West Ham will lock horns at the Emirates Stadium, Manchester United will welcome Sunderland to Old Trafford, and Chelsea will host Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. All these are well analysed below with accumulated odds.

Arsenal vs West Ham

Arsenal recorded a 2-0 win over Olympiacos in the midweek Champions League match. They will now return to league action, where they came from a goal down to secure a 2-1 win over Newcastle United. The Gunners have now won seven of their last nine games in all competitions this season. However, the team will continue to be without the service of Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Piero Hincapie, and Noni Madueke in this game due to injuries. On the other hand, West Ham are struggling at the bottom of the Premier League with four points so far, having lost five of their seven games in all competitions. This led to the sack of Graham Potter and his subsequent replacement by Nuno Espirito Santo. The former Nottingham Forest boss secured a 1-1 draw against Everton in his first game in charge and will hope to get his first win against Arsenal. Nevertheless, they will be without Aaron Wan-Bissaka (stomach issue) and Tomáš Souček (suspension). With Arsenal's exceptional run since the start of the season, I think they will secure an easy win in this clash.

Possible Lineups

Arsenal (4-3-3) — David Raya (GK), Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Cristhian Mosquera, Riccardo Calafiori, Martin Oedegaard, Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Viktor Gyoekeres, Eberechi Eze.

West Ham (4-1-4-1) — Alphonse Areola (GK), Kyle Walker-Peters, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Max Kilman, Malick Diouf, Soungoutou Magassa, Jarrod Bowen, Mateus Fernandes, Lucas Paqueta, Crysencio Summerville, Niclas Fuellkrug.

Manchester United vs Sunderland

Manchester United continue to navigate this tough time under Reuben Amorim, and the sad truth is that the side hasn’t won back-to-back league games since the appointment of the Portuguese coach almost one year ago. The Red Devils lost 3-1 to Brentford in their last game, and it is already appearing as if they can’t boastfully beat any side in the Premier League at the moment. While Lisandro Martinez and Noussair Mazraoui are still out due to injuries, the team will welcome Casemiro and Amad Diallo back after the former returns from suspension and the latter from family engagement. On the other hand, Sunderland are performing above the expectations of fans since securing promotion back to the top flight after eight years. They defeated Nottingham Forest 1-0 in their last game and are parading the second-best defence in the league. They are unbeaten in their previous four league games, and they are fully motivated to face United. However, they will be without Romaine Mundle, Dennis Cirkin, Aji Alese, Habib Diarra and Leo Hjelde in this game due to injuries, while Reinildo Mandava will be out due to suspension. As things stand, I think the best option to pick in this game is the both teams to score option.

Possible Lineups

Manchester United (4-4-2) — Altay Bayindir (GK), Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Luke Shaw, Amad, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Patrick Dorgu, Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko.

Sunderland predicted (4-2-3-1) — Robin Roefs (GK), Lutsharel Geertruida, Nordi Mukiele, Omar Alderete, Trai Hume, Granit Xhaka, Noah Sadiki, Chemsdine Talbi, Enzo Le Fee, Simon Adingra, Wilson Isidor.

Chelsea vs Liverpool

Chelsea are currently experiencing a difficult moment and will be eager to bounce back. They returned to winning ways during the midweek with a 1-0 win over Benfica in the Champions League. They had previously lost 3-1 to Brighton in their last league encounter, following their loss against arch-rivals Manchester United. They have lost Cole Palmer to injury, and Tosin Adarabioyo and Wesley Fofana are also in the treatment room. On the other hand, Liverpool suffered their second defeat of the season against Galatasaray in their last game. They had previously lost to Crystal Palace in their last league game. They will hope to bounce back to winning ways, but their record against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge has been concerning, as they have failed to win any of their last four games at the venue. Nevertheless, I think both sides will find the back of the net in this game. Chelsea have seen BTTS result in five of their last six games, and Liverpool have seen such a result in seven of their last ten in all competitions.

Possible Lineups

Chelsea (4-2-3-1) — Robert Sanchez (GK), Reece James, Josh Acheampong, Benoit Badiashile, Marc Cucurella, Romeo Lavia, Moises Caicedo, Estevao, Enzo Fernandez, Pedro Neto, Joao Pedro.

Liverpool (4-2-3-1) — Giorgi Mamardashvili (GK), Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson, Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, Cody Gakpo, Alexander Isak.
