class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The European champions are not used to losing games and they are clear favourites against a side with a poor record on the road in the Premier League

Chelsea face Southampton at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League with the side from west London aiming to bounce back from two defeats in the last week.

The Blues went down 1-0 to Manchester City last weekend before being beaten by the same scoreline by Juventus on Wednesday to suffer two consecutive losses for only the second time under Thomas Tuchel. 

Chelsea vs Southampton latest odds

The last time Chelsea lost back-to-back Premier League games was in December 2020 and the hosts are clear favourites priced at 4/11 (1.36) with bet365.

Southampton, meanwhile, head to the capital in search of their first league win of the campaign although Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side have already earned creditable draws against both Manchester City and Manchester United this term.

Another draw is offered at 15/4 (4.75) with an away win available at 8/1 (9.00).

Chelsea vs Southampton team news

The European champions are without N’Golo Kante following his positive test for coronavirus.

Both Reece James and Mason Mount missed the midweek defeat in Turin and, while the former is still out, the latter is in the squad. Christian Pulisic is likely to return from his ankle injury after the international break.

The visitors are without long-term injury absentee Jack Stephens, while Armando Broja is ineligible to face his parent club.

Chelsea vs Southampton preview

The Saints visit Stamford Bridge trying to improve their extremely poor away record which has seen them win just one of their last 16 league matches on the road.

That solitary victory came back in March against a poor Sheffield United side that subsequently ended the season bottom of the table and, in 2021, Southampton have picked up five points from a possible 42 away from St Mary’s.

Chelsea for their part have not been as strong at home as they would have liked, winning five of their last 10 league matches at Stamford Bridge.

Against teams from the lower reaches of the table, however, the Blues have been able to record wins and, with Southampton’s away record far from impressive, backing the hosts to bounce back with a victory makes sense. 

Chelsea vs Southampton tips & predictions

Seven of Chelsea’s last eight home league victories have come with a clean sheet and backing them to claim another win to nil at 11/10 (2.10) should appeal.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Recent meetings between the Gunners and Potter's men have been low-scoring affairs, and Al Hain-Cole expects more of the same at the Amex Stadium

Brighton and Arsenal will both be in confident spirits when they meet at the Amex Stadium for Saturday’s Premier League clash.

The Seagulls are level on points with second-placed Manchester City after an impressive start to the season, winning four and losing just one of their opening six league fixtures.

Brighton vs Arsenal latest odds

Having won two and lost just won of their four previous home games against this opposition, Brighton are available at 21/10 (3.10) with bet365 to extend that fine run by coming out on top here.

Mikel Arteta’s men are on a high after last weekend’s emphatic north London derby victory over Tottenham and Arsenal are now 11/8 (2.38) favourites to make it four successive league wins by claiming maximum points in this one.

The hosts grabbed a last-minute equaliser to draw 1-1 with rivals Crystal Palace last time out, and you can get odds of 9/4 (3.25) on them playing out another stalemate.

Brighton vs Arsenal team news

Yves Bissouma and Danny Welbeck will both face late fitness tests, while Adam Webster and Steve Alzate are definitely sidelined due to injury.

Granit Xhaka has been ruled out for around three months after suffering knee ligament damage in the 3-1 win over Spurs last weekend.

Brighton vs Arsenal preview

After opening the season with three consecutive league defeats, the Gunners have turned things around with three wins from the following three games.

Having edged past Norwich and Burnley by narrow 1-0 scorelines, they delighted the fans by racing into a 3-0 lead within 34 minutes against Tottenham – more than doubling their goal tally for the entire league campaign in the process.

However, they are likely to find life more difficult against Graham Potter’s high-flying team, who have conceded just five goals in eight matches in all competitions this season.

With just 13 goals scored between them from their combined 12 opening league games, another tight match certainly seems likely between two teams that have been fairly evenly matched in recent meetings.

Brighton vs Arsenal tips & predictions

Indeed, odds of 4/5 (1.80) seem pretty generous on under 2.5 goals being scored for the fifth encounter in seven between Brighton and Arsenal.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the post-Messi era proving to be as painful as many imagined for the Catalans, Diego Simeone's side should be able to heap more misery on Barca

Barcelona travel to the Wanda Metropolitano to face Atletico Madrid in what is the biggest fixture of the season so far in La Liga.

The Blaugrana head to the Spanish capital on the verge of crisis, with under-pressure manager Ronald Koeman seeing his side lose both of their opening Champions League group games while currently sitting five points off top spot in La Liga. 

A win in Madrid would provide some mild relief although Koeman’s future remains in serious doubt.

Atletico for their part have also failed to provide a convincing start to the campaign, yet Los Rojiblancos’ knack of scoring late goals has consistently spared their blushes.

Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona latest odds

Barcelona have failed to win any of their last four competitive matches against Diego Simeone’s men and come into the game as clear outsiders, priced at 3/1 (4.00) with bet365.

Atletico recorded a 1-0 victory in this fixture last term and are offered at 10/11 (1.91) with the draw at 5/2 (3.50).

Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona team news

The hosts are without Geoffrey Kondogbia who is suspended, while Kieran Trippier could be a doubt with an ankle problem.

The visitors remain without Ousmane Dembele, Sergio Aguero and Martin Braithwaite while Jordi Alba is doubtful with the thigh injury which has kept him out of action for the last two weeks. 

Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona preview

Neither side come into this game in convincing form yet, while Barca have succumbed to disappointment in recent weeks, Atletico have generally managed to grind out results.

Defensively Barca have looked particularly shaky with the Blaugrana keeping just two clean sheets in their eight competitive fixtures this term with the likes of struggling Granada and Getafe both scoring against them.

Indeed bottom-of-the-table Getafe managed more shots at Camp Nou than Barca in their 2-1 defeat there a couple of weeks ago, and sides have been able to create plenty of chances against Koeman’s men.

Atleti for their part have failed to score in three of their last five matches, yet their familiar forward line is much more impressive than that of their Catalan counterparts.

In midweek both Luis Suarez and Antoine Griezmann scored, the latter netting his first goal since his return to the Spanish capital and both men will be highly motivated against their former employers.

Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona tips & predictions

Atletico’s deep and talented squad is fully united behind their legendary coach, quite the opposite of the fractious situation which Barcelona are currently enduring.

The price of 10/11 (1.91) for a home win is certainly worth consideration, while backing Atletico to come from behind to win at 8/1 (9.00) also appeals with this selection paying out in three of their last six matches.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The 13-time European champions have lacked a cutting edge in their last couple of matches yet they should be able to overcome Los Pericos on Sunday

Real Madrid travel to Barcelona on Sunday to face Espanyol in La Liga with Carlo Ancelotti’s men aiming to bounce back from their midweek Champions League embarrassment.

Los Blancos were beaten 2-1 at home by Moldovan side Sheriff Tiraspol in one of the biggest upsets in the competition’s history, a result which has stalled the positive momentum Madrid had built up at the start of the season.

Espanyol vs Real Madrid latest odds

Espanyol come into the game having won just one of their seven matches so far this season and bet365 offer the hosts at 4/1 (5.00) to record an upset this weekend.

Real Madrid, meanwhile, are offered at 4/6 (1.65) with the draw available at 3/1 (4.00).

Espanyol vs Real Madrid team news

The visitors are still without injured full-backs Dani Carvajal, Marcelo and Ferland Mendy while in attack Gareth Bale remains a long-term absentee.

The hosts are also without some important players as defender Fernando Calero is missing, along with midfielder Yangel Herrera and winger Javi Puado. 

Espanyol vs Real Madrid preview

Los Blancos are the top scoring side in La Liga with 21 goals in seven matches yet their last two competitive fixtures have seen them lack a clinical edge.

The defeat to Sheriff saw them create plenty of chances which they failed to take, and was preceded by a 0-0 draw at home to Villarreal, another game which saw Madrid fail to capitalise on their opportunities.

Espanyol for their part have scored just four times this term, only two sides have netted fewer, and the Catalans have also been guilty of spurning promising openings.

Ancelotti’s men have claimed wins in their last three away matches in all competitions but have not overly convinced, needing extremely late goals to win at Valencia and Inter, while claiming a hard-fought 1-0 win at Real Betis.

Sunday’s game should be another tight encounter and opposing a high-scoring clash should appeal. 

Espanyol vs Real Madrid tips & predictions

Real Madrid to win and under 3.5 goals in the game is priced at 8/5 (2.60), while Real Madrid to win to nil is priced at 2/1 (3.00).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With both teams in strong form at the back, Al Hain-Cole expects a tense and tight encounter between the Reds and Guardiola's men at Anfield

A heavyweight Premier League clash will take place at Anfield on Sunday, when Liverpool play host to Manchester City.

Having surrendered their title to this opposition last season, Jurgen Klopp’s men look determined to recapture their crown as they sit top of the table after six games.

Liverpool vs Manchester City latest odds

However, with just one point to their name from the last three meetings between the sides, Liverpool are 19/10 (2.90) outsiders with bet365 to make a strong statement in the title race by coming out on top against the champions.

Man City recorded an impressive 1-0 win away to Chelsea last weekend and are available at 11/8 (2.38) to underline their quality with another victory over fellow title challengers.

Just one of the last five league encounters between this pair has resulted in a draw, but there are odds of 5/2 (3.50) available on them cancelling each other out in this one.

Liverpool vs Manchester City team news

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been ruled out due to a groin injury, joining Thiago Alcantara and Harvey Elliott in the treatment room.

Ilkay Gundogan remains unavailable with the thigh injury he sustained against Southampton, while Oleksandr Zinchenko is a doubt.

Liverpool vs Manchester City preview

Having suffered a 4-1 thrashing here last season in a match that saw Jordan Henderson and Fabinho line up in the centre of defence due to injuries, the Reds will be determined to demonstrate their true quality this time out.

They will certainly expect more resilience in defence with Virgil van Dijk, Joel Matip and Joe Gomez all available once again and new signing Ibrahima Konate adding extra depth.

Indeed, they have let in just seven goals in nine matches so far this campaign and conceded only once in their last five league fixtures in their own backyard.

Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola’s team have kept five consecutive clean sheets in the league, albeit scoring only twice themselves in their three most recent Premier League outings.

Liverpool vs Manchester City tips & predictions

With a much tighter encounter therefore looking likely, odds of 11/10 (2.10) look like solid value on under 2.5 goals being scored for Livepool’s 13th league home game in 16, as well as a fourth league game in a row for City.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Luis Enrique's men are missing some key players and are likely to struggle once again when they face the winners of Euro 2020 at San Siro

European champions Italy welcome Spain to Milan on Wednesday evening in the semi-final of the UEFA Nations League.

Roberto Mancini’s side are on a historic 38-match unbeaten run and are clear favourites to triumph against a La Roja team beset by injuries.

Luis Enrique’s men, however, will be out for revenge having been denied a place in the final of Euro 2020 on penalties at the hands of the Italians this summer. 

Italy vs Spain latest 0dds

The Azzurri’s last defeat came on September 10, 2018 when the side went down 1-0 to Portugal.

Since then they have recorded 28 wins and 10 draws (in 90 minutes) and bet365 offer Italy at 6/5 (2.20) to rack up another win without extra-time, while they can be backed at 4/6 (1.65) to qualify.

Spain, meanwhile, can be backed at 29/20 (2.45) to make it through to the final of the competition and are 11/4 (3.75) to win.

The draw is on offer at 21/10 (3.10).

Italy vs Spain team news

The hosts are without first-choice striker Ciro Immobile who has withdrawn from the squad due to injury.

The visitors, meanwhile, also have a number of high-profile absentees with strikers Alvaro Morata and Gerard Moreno both missing, while midfielder Pedri, who started every game at Euro 2020, is also out.

The man who was called up to replace Pedri, Celta Vigo’s Brais Mendez also had to withdraw through injury, meaning a call-up for Barcelona’s out-of-favour utility man Sergi Roberto.

Marcos Llorente and Dani Olmo are also missing through injury. 

Italy vs Spain preview

Matches between these two rivals tend to be close affairs and Italy’s semi-final triumph in July was no different.

Another similar encounter looks likely on Wednesday night although the hosts are rightly fancied to progress.

Immobile may be a key man out for Italy yet the rest of the side is pretty settled, in stark contrast to the Spain team which is constantly being chopped and changed by Luis Enrique.

Morata, Moreno, Llorente, Pedri and Olmo were all key members of the Euro 2020 squad with the latter two starting the semi-final against Italy, and Morata coming off the bench to score the side’s only goal. 

With La Roja unable to call upon the services of some of their most important players, and with the Azzurri remaining an extremely solid unit, backing Mancini’s men to record another win makes sense.

Italy vs Spain tips & predictions

The price of 6/5 (2.20) for an Italy win should appeal while under 2.5 goals in the match is offered at 8/13 (1.61) and has paid out in 11 of the last 14 meetings.
