Our football betting expert Jones Knows is back to provide more insight into the Premier League ahead of Thursday's two matches.
Fulham vs Brighton, Thursday 7.30pm
Brighton proved against Southampton that they overachieved defensively.
Fabian Hurzeler's side have the sixth worst defensive performance, according to expected goals statistics, and can consider themselves lucky to be so high in the table based on that performance. Going forward, they are a threat with Kaoru Mitoma in good form, but Fulham should be given big chances.
My eyes are drawn to Alex Iwobi who scores at 100/30. He has scored 12 shots in his last five games and scored twice as he took up some very dangerous positions from the right wing.
SCORE PREDICTION: 2-1
Bournemouth v Tottenham, Thursday 8.15pm
Andoni Iraola will land a top job soon enough if he continues to play such exciting, dangerous and consistent football for Bournemouth.
Even without their talisman in Antoine Semenyo and skipper Lewis Cook at Wolves, they played with the same intensity and quality as their press completely dominated. They are like clockwork under Iraola – and they look to be playing strong here to beat Tottenham, who can beat anyone on their day but really feel the pressure playing twice a week without their key defensive reinforcements. The 13/8 with Sky Bet for the house is a really attractive price to think about.
