Soccer Picks Today - EPL Week 9

Premier League Week 9
Everton vs Arsenal Preview
For example, when Arsenal visit Goodison park this Sunday morning October 22nd at 8:30am EST both them and Everton will be coming off a Thursday Europa League game.
But what is the difference? The difference is that Arsenal played mostly reserves and still won, where as Everton played a strong lineup and still lost at home to Lyon.
What else is the difference? After 2 Europa League games so far this season, Arsenal have went to Stamford Bridge and outplayed Chelsea in a nil-nil draw and beat Brighton 2-0 with no stress.
Everton post Europa League have lost 4-0 away at Manchester United and 1-0 at home to Burnley. The Toffies have had issues this season Koeman still has not figured out the best approach. All factors being taken into account, Arsenal are undervalued.
Pick: Arsenal (-106) at BET365
Newcastle vs Crystal Palace
From top to bottom Crystal Palace have a very good squad. Most notably for them is the re-addition of Mamadou Sakho back to partner alongside Scott Dann in the centre of the Palace defense AND the return of Wilfred Zaha from injury.
In case you don't know much about Zaha, he is very good at football. Palace stumbled more than enough to begin the season and now need every point they can earn if they wish to stay in the Premier League. You should not go from beating Chelsea to losing to Newcastle in the span of a week. If this were the stock market, Hodgson's Eagles would have the Green Arrow pointing UP next to their symbol
Pick: Crystal Palace +0.5 (-110) at BET365
Tottenham vs Liverpool
Hypothetical question. What's more impressive; beating a lowly ranked side 7-0 or playing to a 1-1 draw with the best team on the planet?
Because both Liverpool and Tottenham put one of these feathers in their cap heading into this Sunday's showdown. Now be forewarned that four of the past five meetings between these sides and these managers have gone under 2.5 goals.
But that goes out the window this Sunday morning at 11am. The game is not at White Hart Lane or Anfield, it's on that monstrous Wembley pitch and to add another iron to the fire, Spurs fans have been trying to block Liverpool supporters from buying tickets...good luck with that.
Sunday will not disappoint. Players will be flying all over the field, the stands will be hostile and there will be goals
Pick: Over 2.5 Goals (-154) at BET365
Potential LEANS to keep an eye on this weekend
- Antonio Conte is frustrated and Chelsea are hobbled. In form Watford offer value going to Stamford Bridge.
- Boring Jose Mourinho is back and Manchester United Unders may be winning more often than losing over the next few weeks.
- Guardiola called this incarnation of Napoli one of the best teams he has ever faced as a manager. Napoli are 8/5 favorites this Saturday when they host Inter Milan.

More articles...The long wait is finally over for Canadian soccer fans. That's because Canada Soccer is back to World Cup for the first time since 1986. The Canada National Team has been downright sensational in World Cup qualifying and things were finalized for their trip to Qatar on Sunday night. All Canada needed was a draw […]
The European Super League (ESL) was supposed to be the breakaway club for top European football clubs, the likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Liverpool to name a few.
The full list of Super League clubs:
- English - Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham.
- Spanish - Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Real Madrid.
- Italian - AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus.
However, plans broke down the very next day after the featured clubs made the announcement, led by Real Madrid’s Florentino Perez. Perez has been defiant in the face of big clubs like Juventus and Manchester City dropping out, with the governing body FIFA also threatening to ban teams from their domestic leagues.
The anger and frustration at the decision to go ahead with a Super League boiled over when fans of Premier League clubs Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham held mass protests outside the relative stadiums. The announcement caused a wave of protest across Europe, as UEFA made it clear that all clubs involved would face repercussions if they were to go ahead and compete in the breakaway Super League.
But, what upset the fans so much and is the Super League really so different from the Champions League?
