Chelsea WIN 6/10 – Tottenham WIN 7/10 – Orlando Pirates WIN 1/1

Chelsea vs Leicester (HOME WIN) 6/10 – Saturday’s action kicks off with a clash between Antonio Conte’s Chelsea and his Italian counterpart – and former Chelsea boss – Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester City. This will be the fourth time these managers will go head-tohead, with Conte winning two of his three matches against Ranieri – a record he’ll be eager to maintain. The Blues come into the match off a 2-0 victory away to Hull, who beat Ranieri’s side 2-1 on the opening day of the season. Chelsea have looked dangerous, with top scorer Diego Costa hitting his stride. The defence has been the biggest concern for Conte, however, captain John Terry will return and bring calmness to the side, while Kurt Zouma is nearing a return. The Foxes are winless in their last two league matches following a 4-1 defeat at Man United and goalless draw at home to Southampton. They’ve lost all three away games this season, shipping 10 goals while finding the net just three times. Get on the Blues at 6/10.

West Brom vs Tottenham (AWAY WIN) 7/10 –

October promises to be difficul for West Brom as they face a daunting fixture list that will see them take on Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City, with all three opponents currently in the top four. Tony Pulis’ side have gone unbeaten in their last three matches. An impressive 4-2 win at home to West Ham in game week five was followed with draws against Stoke and Sunderland. Pulis will be hoping his Baggies side will give a good account of themselves, but it will take something special to take points off this in-form Spurs side. Mauricio Pochettino’s team are the only unbeaten side in the league so far, having won five of their seven matches, scoring 12 goals while conceding just three. Spurs will be without star striker Harry Kane, but they showed in their 2-0 win over Man City that they can cope without him. The away win is a top bet at 7/10.

Polokwane City vs Orlando Pirates (AWAY WIN) 1/1 –

Polokwane City got off to a poor start in the league, not winning any of their first three games, but are now enjoying an upturn in form, winning their last two fixtures. Rise and Shine face one of their biggest tests yet this weekend. The Buccaneers are unbeaten and have a game in hand on log-leaders Kaizer Chiefs. Pirates were thwarted last time out as SuperSport United’s Denwin Farmer equalised in the 89th minute, cancelling out Mpho Makola’s goal three minutes earlier, which saw the Sea Robbers drop two vital points. However, against Polokwane City, Pirates should find their feet again and claim all three points.

Manchester City vs Everton (HOME WIN + BTTS) 31/20 –

Manchester City will be looking to return to winning ways when they host Everton at the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola’s side are winless in their last two matches, drawing 3-3 away to Celtic in the Champions League before suffering a 2-0 defeat at Tottenham. The Sky Blues are missing influential playmaker Kevin De Bruyne to a hamstring injury and the Belgian may miss their crunch clash against Barcelona next week on Wednesday. Guardiola’s side sit top of the league with 18 points out of a possible 21. City have been lethal in front of goal, having scored 18 goals, but they’ve conceded seven times and kept just one clean sheet. Everton have struggled in recent weeks and Ronald Koeman will be hoping for a strong performance. They’ve got players that can hurt City like Ross Barkley, Romelu Lukaku and Yannick Bolasie. Back Man City to Win + Both Teams To Score at 31/20.

DOUBLE @ 26/10

Durbanville this Saturday – Race 4 No 7 Midtown Manhattan (12/10) – Trained by Justin Snaith and ridden by Richard Fourie.

The daughter of Grey’s Inn ran on strongly to be second on debut. She will take a power of beating, especially as she jumps from the best draw.

Arsenal vs Swansea (HOME HT-FT WIN) 7/10 –

Arsenal are in a rich vein of form with five wins in succession, keeping back-toback clean sheets. Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott have been Arsene Wenger’s star performers having been involved in 11 goals between them. Arsenal’s defence has been impressively solid of late, with Shkodran Mustafi forging a formidable partnership with Laurent Koscielny. It’s going to be extremely tough for any team to take points off Arsenal. However, they’ll face a potential banana skin against a Swansea side that has caused them many troubles in recent seasons. The Swans have lost just once from their last five meetings against Arsenal with three wins, including back-to-back games at the Emirates. Bob Bradley has been appointed as the new Swansea manager after Francesco Guidolin was sacked. Bradley becomes the first American head coach in the Premier League and he’ll be hoping for a dream start. Since their opening day 1-0 win over Burnley, the Swans are winless in six matches with five defeats. Arsenal might just have the upper hand in this one. Back the Gunners to win on the Halftime/Fulltime double at 7/10
