Chelsea vs Man Utd
Saturday 31 October, 12:30
This could be a tough watch, which Jones Knows is happy with at 11/8 about two goals or fewer. Michael Carrick, with no wins in eight and the pressure mounting after a 3-0 home loss to Bournemouth, needs a platform rather than another shoot-out, and his away games across the last 11-game spell have averaged just 2.15 goals. The key, though, is Joao Pedro’s thigh injury: in nine league games without the Brazilian, Chelsea have averaged 0.9 fewer goals per 90. With the market leaning on Chelsea’s attacking reputation, he rates the Under the play.
Score prediction: 0-1 | Jones Knows’ best bet: Under 2.5 goals (11/8 with Sky Bet)
Bournemouth vs Leeds
Saturday 31 October, 15:00
Jones Knows sees a fatigue angle. Bournemouth are into their sixth game in 22 days, with big wins over AC Milan and Manchester United taking plenty out of them, and while Marco Rose is rotating, the accumulated demands could tell. Leeds, by contrast, drew 0-0 at Sunderland and have had a clear midweek to prepare. He also leans on their resilience – beaten just twice in their last 17 league games – as a reminder that not losing can be a habit too. Leeds draw no bet backs the fresher side, with the stake returned if the points are shared.
Score prediction: 1-2 | The play: Leeds draw no bet (6/4 with Sky Bet)
Brentford vs Forest
Saturday 31 October, 15:00
Brentford are stopping opponents by any means necessary, leading the league for fouls at 14 per game – a notable spike that hints at a more cynical edge. That makes James McAtee an interesting player-props target for Jones Knows. The Forest midfielder thrives receiving the ball in tight spaces and turning away from pressure, which makes him awkward to contain and a magnet for fouls. He has been fouled 14 times across eight league starts, 1.75 a game, with the two-or-more line landing in five of those eight. At 11/10 it is worth backing to go in again.
Score prediction: 1-1 | The play: James McAtee 2+ fouls won (11/10 with Sky Bet)
Coventry vs Sunderland
Saturday 31 October, 15:00
Sunderland look a very ropey favourite to Jones Knows at 13/10 – the gap between a good team and a good bet. In their last 12 away games when priced shorter than 3/1, the Black Cats have won just twice, against Oxford in the FA Cup and Torreense, scraping both by a single goal; backing them to £1 stakes across those 12 would have left you £9.20 down. He adds that taking the initiative away from home can be uncomfortable when things are not clicking. Coventry draw no bet at 6/5 is the way in, with the home side able to pay out without even winning.
Score prediction: 2-1 | The play: Coventry draw no bet (6/5 with Sky Bet)
Hull vs Ipswich
Saturday 31 October, 15:00
There is a strong case to oppose Ipswich, in Jones Knows’ view. Their 1-1 with Forest was a Julio Enciso-or-nothing job, rescued despite being fortunate on the balance of play, and he thinks their mid-table 10 points flatter them – they have scored stoppage-time winners against Fulham, Palace and Sunderland, and cannot keep relying on fine margins. Their expected-goals supremacy of -0.65 per 90 is the worst in the league, giving up more in chance quality than they create. Hull have issues of their own but can compete, and at 8/5 the Tigers are worth backing.
Score prediction: 1-0 | Jones Knows’ best bet: Hull to win (8/5 with Sky Bet)
Man City vs Brighton
Saturday 31 October, 15:00
Brighton are a punter’s dream at the elite clubs, says Jones Knows. Across their last 15 against Arsenal, Liverpool and City they have scored 22, with a 22-21 aggregate – no low-block side content with scraps, but one that wants the ball and will trade punches. For betting, it is the shot count that stands out: an average of 14 per game across those 15, and 17 in each of their recent trips to Liverpool and City. A Brighton win at 7/2 is tempting but asks a lot, so he prefers the Evens about Brighton registering 12 or more shots.
Score prediction: 2-2 | The play: Brighton 12+ shots (Evens with Sky Bet)
Spurs vs Crystal Palace
Saturday 31 October, 17:30, live on Sky Sports
Jones Knows is climbing aboard the Tottenham train. Back-to-back wins have delivered the results De Zerbi’s performances were threatening, with a clearer identity and the new signings settling. His faith is built on the work without the ball: since De Zerbi took over, Spurs have averaged just 1.03 expected goals against per 90, bettered only by Arsenal. Palace are the ideal test, having conceded at least twice in 12 of their last 14. The -1 handicap, needing Spurs to win by two or more, is his bet of the weekend.
Score prediction: 3-0 | Jones Knows’ best bet: Tottenham -1 handicap (11/8 with Sky Bet)
Villa vs Fulham
Saturday 31 October, 20:00, live on Sky Sports
Calvin Bassey is exactly the sort of defender Jones Knows loves in the props markets – a maverick who wants to carry the ball and impose himself, which can make him a defensive liability but a reliable source of foul involvements. Bassey has racked up 17 involvements, fouls won and conceded combined, across his last three games, and averages 3.1 over his last 20 league appearances, so the Evens about three or more is hardly a stretch. With Nicolas Jackson in menacing form after running Marc Guehi ragged, a lively individual battle looks on.
Score prediction: 2-1 | Jones Knows’ best bet: Calvin Bassey 3+ foul involvements (Evens with Sky Bet)
Liverpool vs Arsenal
Sunday 1 November, 16:30, live on Sky Sports
Andoni Iraola loves a tactical foul – stopping the transition early is central to his philosophy, and it has travelled with him to Liverpool, who average 13.75 fouls a game. Jones Knows likes backing that to tick over against Arsenal, a fixture with every ingredient for a high foul count: fierce intensity, both sides dangerous in transition and Arsenal happy in a duel-heavy battle. He also makes a case for a tight contest, with the draw at 9/4 the main-market outcome that appeals, and Liverpool to make 13 or more fouls at 11/10 the other standout angle.
Score prediction: 1-1 | The play: The draw (9/4 with Sky Bet)
Newcastle vs Everton
Monday 2 November, 20:00, live on Sky Sports
The market is unconvinced by Newcastle, and Jones Knows reads plenty into their price. At 5/4 this is the biggest they have been to win this home fixture in six meetings, having been as short as 7/10 and even 1/4 in the previous two seasons. The underlying numbers back the doubt: Matthias Jaissle’s side carry an expected-goals supremacy of -0.58, the third-worst in the division, and their win over Palace was fortunate, losing the xG, shot and corner counts. He is happy to oppose the hosts with the insurance of Everton draw no bet.
Score prediction: 1-2 | The play: Everton draw no bet (11/10 with Sky Bet)
