Accumulator of the Day
4 selections
Arsenal to win
Arsenal’s 7 wins from their last 10 set the tone. Coventry City arrive unbeaten in their last 3, so this is no stroll, but 1/5 is a banker’s price and the banker’s job is what it does here.
The numbers
Arsenal last 10 (W-D-L)7-1-2
Coventry City last 3 (W-D-L)2-1-0
Odds1/5
Manchester City to win
AFC Bournemouth’s 5-4-1 from their last 10 deserves respect, and Manchester City’s 5 wins over the same stretch are solid rather than dominant. 4/9 still reads right at home: this leg anchors the acca, it does not drive the payout.
The numbers
Manchester City last 10 (W-D-L)5-3-2
AFC Bournemouth last 10 (W-D-L)5-4-1
Odds4/9
Manchester United to win
Manchester United hold the form edge, 5 wins and 2 defeats from their last 10, though Hull City have lost only once in their last 5. 1/2 offers little as a single and plenty inside a 4-fold, which is exactly its role here.
The numbers
Hull City last 5 (W-D-L)2-2-1
Manchester United last 10 (W-D-L)5-3-2
Odds1/2
Chelsea to win
Little between these two on form: Chelsea’s 4 wins from their last 10 shade Fulham’s 3. That is why the away win pays 11/10, and why this leg carries the acca’s value rather than its certainty.
The numbers
Fulham last 10 (W-D-L)3-3-4
Chelsea last 10 (W-D-L)4-2-4

Tip of the Day
1 selections
Chelsea to win
Chelsea edge the form book, 4 wins from their last 10 to Fulham’s 3, yet 11/10 prices them as marginal outsiders. The day’s tip should find value rather than restate a favourite, and this is where it lives.

Over / Under Goals
3 selections
Over 2.5 goals
Both sides have cleared 2.5 goals in 70 per cent of their last 10, and AFC Bournemouth are averaging 3 goals a game across that run. A banker’s price at 4/9, but for once the pattern matches it.
The numbers
Manchester City over 2.5 % (last 10)70%
Manchester City goals per game1.9
AFC Bournemouth over 2.5 % (last 10)70%

Odds4/9
Over 2.5 goals
Newcastle United have seen over 2.5 goals in 60 per cent of their last 10, Liverpool in 50 per cent of theirs. Decent rather than emphatic, and 1/2 prices that honestly for a game with this much attacking talent on the pitch.
The numbers
Newcastle United over 2.5 % (last 10)60%
Newcastle United goals per game1.4
Liverpool over 2.5 % (last 10)50%
Liverpool goals per game1.7
Odds1/2
Over 2.5 goals
This one splits the data: 80 per cent of Chelsea’s last 10 cleared 2.5 goals, only 40 per cent of Fulham’s did. Chelsea’s 2.1 goals a game does the heavy lifting, and 8/13 pays fairly for a leg with real work to do.

Fulham over 2.5 % (last 10)40%
Fulham goals per game1
Chelsea over 2.5 % (last 10)80%

Big-Odds Acca
3 selections
Fulham to win
Fulham’s 3 wins from 10 hardly leap off the page, but Chelsea’s 4-2-4 is no fortress either. In a match this tight the home side at 11/4 is the value swing of the card, and a price like that only needs to land occasionally.
The numbers
Fulham last 10 (W-D-L)3-3-4
Chelsea last 10 (W-D-L)4-2-4
Odds11/4
Newcastle United to win
Identical 3-3-4 records over the last 10, so on recent form this is a genuine toss-up with home advantage attached. 5/2 about the host in that sort of contest is the attraction: the price, not the probability, earns the slot.
The numbers
Newcastle United last 10 (W-D-L)3-3-4
Liverpool last 10 (W-D-L)3-3-4
Odds5/2
Tottenham Hotspur to win
Tottenham Hotspur have lost once in their last 10 (5-4-1) while Brentford’s 4-4-2 is heavy on draws. The strongest form case on this card, yet away at Brentford it still pays 7/4.
The numbers
Brentford last 10 (W-D-L)4-4-2
Tottenham Hotspur last 10 (W-D-L)5-4-1
