Gameweek Odds: Arsenal and Brentford Lead the Market as Forest-Spurs Goes Coin-Flip

London Showdown Headlines the Slate

Arsenal are priced at 1.70 to defeat Chelsea at the Emirates, making them the joint-shortest-priced home favourite of the gameweek alongside Brentford. Chelsea drift out to 5.25 despite winning their opener—Arsenal sit third in the Premier League table with a +3 goal difference, while Chelsea are seventh with +1.

Forest vs Spurs: Narrowest Margin of the Week

The tightest market belongs to Nottingham Forest against Tottenham. Forest are 2.65, Spurs 2.92—a near coin-flip reflecting two sides who both lost their opening fixtures. Spurs carry the worse goal difference at -3 compared to Forest's -1, according to the Premier League table, yet the market still edges the visitors.

Form Defies the Market at Goodison

Everton won their first match and sit sixth. Manchester United lost theirs and sit 16th with a -2 goal difference. But United are favoured at 2.46, with Everton at 3.00. The market is leaning on reputation rather than early-season returns.

Liverpool Heavy Favourites Despite Ipswich's Bright Start

Ipswich Town arrive eighth after a winning opener, while Liverpool drew theirs and sit 11th. None of that has moved the market—Liverpool are 1.66, Ipswich 5.30. The draw at 4.33 may appeal to those backing Portman Road resilience.

Elsewhere in the Market

• Brighton at 1.89 to beat Leeds (4.70) — the Seagulls sit second with four goals scored and none conceded, according to the Premier League table

• Newcastle at 2.30 to beat Bournemouth (3.15) at St James' Park
• Fulham at 2.33 to beat Crystal Palace (3.25) — Palace are bottom with two defeats and a -5 goal difference
