Chelsea vs Fulham over 2.5 goals (-162), 7:30 am ET
There have been 41 goals in Chelsea's last 10 EPL games and their west London derby with Fulham looks an overs banker on Saturday. The Blues have played well on occasion this season, but they have been pretty poor for much of the campaign too and there have been clear defensive problems for Mauricio Pochettino's men. Chelsea have managed only 3 clean sheets in their last 17. As for Fulham, they have hit 18 goals in their last 8 English Premier League games and 8 of the Cottagers’ last 9 have gone over the 2.5 mark. The goals could flow again at Stamford Bridge and this bet looks a solid parlay option.
Manchester City ML over Newcastle (-180), 12:30 pm ET
Newcastle's thin squad has been hit hard by injuries and suspensions this season and it's just 2 wins in 9 games for the depleted Magpies. The visit of Manchester City is far from an ideal opportunity to improve that poor recent run and this is a City team boosted by the return of Kevin De Bruyne. Pep Guardiola's men have lost only 1 of their last 18 all-competition contests and City can leave St. James' Park with 3 points.
