With the World Cup on the horizon, teams will be looking to enter the break well-positioned before the Premier League resumes in late December.
Arsenal still occupy top spot, but face a tricky trip to Chelsea in a London derby. Second-placed Manchester City are at home to Fulham, while Tottenham play Liverpool in a huge clash to end the weekend action.

Here’s a look at all 10 matches for the weekend:
Chelsea vs Arsenal
Sunday 6th November, 13:00
This game feels hugely significant for both clubs, as winning this game could provide a notable momentum boost with the break for the World Cup approaching.
There are different ways you can view Chelsea’s current form. Since Graham Potter became manager in September, they have won seven, drawn three and lost one. They have however failed to win any of their last three league games and were trounced 4-1 at Potter’s former club Brighton in their last league game.
The Blues have scored and conceded in each of their last four matches, and are struggling to hit top form while some of their key players are nursing injuries, including N’Golo Kante, Reece James, Wesley Fofana and now Ben Chilwell.
Arsenal will be looking for their third win in a row at Stamford Bridge — a feat they haven’t achieved since 1951 — and only one of the last six meetings between the teams has gone Chelsea’s way. Arsenal go into the weekend top of the table, albeit they could be second when the game starts after Manchester City face Fulham on Saturday.
All but two of the Gunners’ opening 12 league games have resulted in victory, although their only league defeat this season came in their only other game away from home against a top six team when they lost 3-1 at Manchester United in September.
Arsenal have only finished above Chelsea in one of the last 10 seasons, but the fact Chelsea are only marginal favourites for this one is a sign of how things have changed in recent times. Chelsea are still undefeated at home this season, but conceded late equalisers in crucial home games against Tottenham and Manchester United. A draw at 3.40 with Bet9ja looks appealing for this one.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has only scored one Premier League goal from five appearances so far for Chelsea, but the fact he’s facing his former club makes his odds of 3.25 to score anytime stand out.
Bet9ja odds (at time of writing): Chelsea win: 2.65, Draw. 3.40, Arsenal win: 2.70
Tottenham vs Liverpool
Sunday 6th November, 17:30
Tottenham’s qualification to the UEFA Champions League last 16 on Tuesday came at a price. Son Hueng-min left the pitch after a heavy blow to the head and will be out for Spurs’ remaining fixtures before the World Cup. He will be a big loss, having netted 23 times in the Premier League last season and five times in all competitions this campaign, but Harry Kane has been in great form for Antonio Conte’s men. Despite not scoring in his last three, Kane has 10 league goals in 13 this season and 11 in all competitions. With no Son, and Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski still both doubts, Kane will take on a brunt of the responsibility on Sunday.
Spurs are becoming late-show specialists, with last-minute winners in each of the last two matches, demonstrating a never-say-die spirit under Conte. Currently 10 points ahead of Sunday’s opponents, Tottenham can cement a top four position with one game to play before the break if they get maximum points against Liverpool.
For Liverpool, it’s been a topsy-turvy start to the season to say the least. Things looked back on track after a 1-7 thrashing of Rangers, a massive three points gained over Manchester City, and a narrow 1-0 victory against West Ham. However, disappointing defeats against Nottingham Forest and Leeds leaves Jurgen Klopp’s men ninth in the table, currently sitting eight points behind fourth-placed Newcastle. The victory ending Napoli’s winning streak on Tuesday will come as a much-needed boost, especially with Mohamed Salah scoring his 12th of the season and Darwin Nunez netting his seventh.
Liverpool are unbeaten in the last nine Premier League meetings with Tottenham, dating back to October 2017. Last season’s fixture ended 2-2.
Another draw between the sides is 3.70 at Bet9ja. A draw with over 1.5 goals is 4.40 and a draw with over 3.5 goals is 9.30, if you can foresee plenty of goals in this one.
Bet9ja odds (at time of writing): Tottenham win: 3.20, Draw: 3.70, Liverpool win: 2.16
Leeds vs Bournemouth
Saturday 5th November, 16:00
A priceless victory at Anfield against Liverpool lifted Leeds out of the bottom three and puts them just a point behind Saturday’s opponents Bournemouth. It was much needed after four straight defeats, with Rodrigo scoring his sixth of the season. Three consecutive losses puts the Cherries back in relegation contention and they have never won at Elland Road. At Bet9ja, Rodrigo is 2.55 to score at any time and 5.50 as first goalscorer, while the hosts are just 1.76 to claim another three points.
Bet9ja odds (at time of writing): Leeds win: 1.76, Draw: 3.90, Bournemouth win: 4.60
Manchester City vs Fulham
Saturday 5th November, 16:00
Manchester City are in scintillating home form this season, as they have won all nine home games, scoring 37 goals in the process. Fulham have been impressive since returning to the top flight this season, and go into this game unbeaten in four, but it is difficult to see them being able to stop City, who are priced at 1.80 to win with a -2 handicap.
Bet9ja odds (at time of writing): Man City win: 1.14, Draw. 9.30, Fulham win: 18.00
Nottingham Forest vs Brentford
Saturday 5th November, 16:00
Forest sit bottom of the table after being thrashed 5-0 at Arsenal last week, though they had begun to show more solidity in the three games before that, conceding just one goal. Brentford have one win from seven and are yet to win away from home in the league this season. We’ve got an eye on a draw at 3.35.
Bet9ja odds (at time of writing): Forest win: 2.78, Draw. 3.35, Brentford win: 2.58
Wolves vs Brighton
Saturday 5th November, 16:00
Wolves are the lowest scorers in the league, having notched up just six goals so far this season. Brighton got their first win under manager Roberto De Zerbi when they beat Chelsea 4-1 last week, which was their first win in six games. You can get odds of 2.46 on Brighton to score 2-3 goals this time around.
Bet9ja odds (at time of writing): Wolves win: 3.40, Draw. 3.40, Brighton win: 2.20
Everton vs Leicester
Saturday 5th November, 18:30
Two inconsistent teams face off at Goodison Park. Everton have just one win in five, while Leicester have won twice in their past five matches. It’s been nearly four years since Leicester last won at Everton in the league, claiming a 0-1 victory in January 2019. With Everton having scored just 11 goals and conceded only 12 in the league this season, not many goals can be expected on Saturday. Multi Goal at 1-2 goals is 2.01, while a 0-0 draw at 9.80 can’t be ruled out.
Bet9ja odds (at time of writing): Everton win: 2.43, Draw: 3.35, Leicester win: 3.00
Aston Villa vs Manchester United
Sunday 6th November, 15:00
Unai Emery takes charge of his first match as Aston Villa manager on the back of a 4-0 defeat for the Villains at Newcastle last week. Three wins from six home matches so far has at least arrested a dismal away record of just two points from seven games for the hosts, but Manchester United are unbeaten in five and haven’t lost in the league since a 6-3 defeat at Manchester City in early October. Having only lost two league games against Villa since 1995, it’s hard to look past an away win at 2.13 with Bet9ja.
Bet9ja odds (at time of writing): Aston Villa win: 3.40, Draw: 3.55, Man Utd win: 2.13
Southampton vs Newcastle
Sunday 6th November, 3pm
The hosts have managed just one win against the Magpies in their last 10 meetings, and come into this one on the back of one win in their last eight games. Eddie Howe’s Newcastle meanwhile have managed five wins in their last six games, and have kept clean sheets in three of their last four. Newcastle and under 2.5 goals is priced at 4.50.
Bet9ja odds (at time of writing): Southampton win: 4.00, Draw. 3.65, Newcastle win: 1.93
West Ham vs Crystal Palace
Sunday 6th November, 15:00
This fixture between two mid-table teams finished 2-2 last season. In fact, the last three meetings between West Ham and Crystal Palace have produced 14 goals. Last time out, Palace recorded a 1-0 home win against Southampton, while West ham were defeated 1-0 at Manchester United. If you think this fixture will be another goal frenzy, then a 2-2 correct score is 16.00 at Bet9ja.
Bet9ja odds (at time of writing): West Ham win: 1.94, Draw: 3.50, Crystal Palace win: 4.15
