Leicester City and West Ham are setting on a crash course for some English Premier League online football betting. The Foxes became the latest victim in Manchester City’s undefeated streak, losing to the Citizens 0-2 on Saturday. Leicester did not have a single shot on target, and conceded the second goal on a counter-attack launched after their own Harry Maguire had the chance to tie but instead struck the post.
The Hammers meanwhile extended their winless streak five straight games with a 0-2 loss to Watford on Sunday. New boss David Moyes said, following his first game as West Ham manager, that “Some big players with big reputations disappointed me a lot. I thought they would show me more. They need to show me why they have got that reputation. I don’t enjoy the performance and I expected us to do better.”

Chelsea, returning from a successful trip to Baku, will face Liverpool. The Pensioners have also been locally very successful, extending their winning streak to four games with a 4-0 win over West Bromwich Albion on Saturday. Alvaro Morata scored his eighth Premier League goal while Eden Hazard scored a brace to help the Blues move up to 3rd place in the league. This was boss Antonio Conte’s 50th PL game as Chelsea’s manager. The current, reigning and defending champions have earned an unmatched 118 points under Conte since the start of the 2016-17 season.
The Reds won their third straight game, a 3-0 win over Southampton on Saturday. Mohamed Salah scored his league-leading eighth and ninth goal. Liverpool tinkered a bit with the lineup, starting Coutinho, Dejan Lovren, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson, and manager Jürgen Klopp’s gamble paid off, as he obtained his first Premier League win against the Saints.

The aforementioned Manchester City will look to keep its 12-game unbeaten and 10-game (16 in all competitions) winning streaks alive when the Citizens meet Huddersfield Town. “I don’t see anyone who is going to stop them,” Arsenal Invincible Martin Keown said. “They could get complacent but Guardiola will stop at nothing. He is a serial winner who didn’t win anything last year, so he wants to win everything this year.” The Citizens have earned, for the second time in history, 34 points in their first 12 games.
The Terries lost a third straight road game, 0-4 to Bournemouth on Saturday, and have yet to score, since the opening weekend of the season, a goal away from home (Tom Ince alone has more shots without scoring than any other EPL player this season), whence they’ll be returning this weekend, though it’s not like that matters much to the Citizens, who have neither lost nor even drawn on the road this campaign.
