Gameweek 10 Preview

Everton ended a two-game losing run with a 1-0 win at Newcastle, their first away win of the season. They have kept four clean sheets but scored only nine goals in nine games. Coventry beat Sunderland 3-1 last week, only their third win of the season, but have failed to score in five of their nine games and have scored twice in four away games.

Coventry rarely score away from home and Everton rarely concede, though Everton score so seldom themselves that a narrow win is as much as we'd expect.

Leeds are unbeaten at home, with one win and three draws from four, but lost 2-0 at Bournemouth last week. Tottenham have won three in a row after failing to win any of their first six games, but have won only one of their four away games.

Leeds have drawn five of their nine and three of their four at home, and Tottenham have scored only three goals away from home.

Fulham are unbeaten in three, with wins over Hull and Coventry and a 1-1 draw at Aston Villa, but have scored only nine goals in nine games. Newcastle lost 1-0 at home to Everton last week, their second 1-0 home defeat in a row, and scored in neither.

Fulham have kept three clean sheets, and Newcastle have gone two home games without a goal.

Arsenal have won eight of nine, including 1-0 at Liverpool last week, and have won all four home games, scoring nine and conceding two. Hull have not lost at home, drawing four of five, but have won only one of their four away games, 1-0 at Coventry in Gameweek 2.

Arsenal have the best defence in the division with five goals conceded, and Hull's draws have come at home. Hull did beat Manchester United 2-0 in the opening week, so we're not ruling out a surprise.

City lost 2-1 at Aston Villa and then 1-0 at home to Brighton, the first game this season they failed to score in, after seven wins in a row. Forest have not scored in any of their four home games, and have lost four of their last five.

City have won three of four away games and conceded only three, and Forest have scored six goals in nine. We expect a bounce back.

Ipswich have conceded 18 and have not kept a clean sheet all season, though they drew 2-2 at Hull last week. Bournemouth have won their last three without conceding, beating Leeds 2-0 last week.

Ipswich have conceded in every game, and Bournemouth have scored in eight of their nine, though they have won only one of four away games.

Brighton beat Manchester City 1-0 last week to go third, with six clean sheets in nine games. They have scored 13 and conceded one in four home games. Brentford beat Forest 2-0 last week and have drawn five of nine, including all four away games, but have scored in every game this season and lost only once.

Brighton are hard to beat at home, but Brentford are the one side never shut out this season, so a clean sheet looks less likely than usual.

Palace have conceded 21, the most in the division, and have lost six of nine, failing to score in four of their last five. Liverpool lost 1-0 at home to Arsenal last week but are unbeaten away from Anfield, with three wins and a draw.

Liverpool have scored only 11 in nine, but Palace concede enough to hand them two.

Sunderland are bottom on five points, have conceded 17, and have scored only once in four home games. Chelsea beat Manchester United 2-0 last week and have scored 19, though they have also conceded 15 and won two of their four away games.

Sunderland's goals have dried up at home, and Chelsea have scored in seven of their nine games.

United have won once in nine and have not won in five, losing 2-0 at Chelsea last week, and have failed to score in four games. Villa are unbeaten in five, with three wins and two draws, the latest a 1-1 draw with Fulham, and have won two of their four away games, at Tottenham and Newcastle.

United have failed to score in four of nine and Villa are unbeaten in five, so we'll back the visitors to edge it.
