The Wire: Premier League Weekend Team News and Betting Angles

Everything that could move the markets before this weekend’s games, with Scoop’s take on each.

Porro in line to return for Spurs v Chelsea
Roberto De Zerbi says Pedro Porro could be back for Saturday’s London derby. Chelsea are monitoring Pep Chavarria after he felt something in training.
Scoop’s take: Porro’s attacking runs from right-back give Spurs a lot of their threat. With him back and Chelsea scoring freely, both teams to score is the angle we like.

Saliba scan news awaited
William Saliba is having another MRI this week to see if he can return before the November international break. Piero Hincapie is still one or two weeks away.
Scoop’s take: Without both centre-backs, Arsenal’s defence isn’t at its usual level. We’d stay away from Arsenal clean sheet bets until there’s an update.

Sessegnon banned for Coventry v Fulham
Ryan Sessegnon misses out after a straight red card. The bookmakers have Fulham as slight favourites away from home.
Scoop’s take: Fulham lose some energy down the left without him. Draw no bet on Fulham protects you if it finishes level.

Brighton’s missing list keeps growing
Mitoma, Minteh and Wieffer are still out, along with Evan Ferguson and Tzimas. Struijk’s red card was overturned, but he still needs a fitness check.
Scoop’s take: That’s a lot of attacking quality missing. Consider backing the under on Brighton’s goals until those players return.

Brentford odds-on at Hull
The bookmakers make Brentford clear favourites for the trip to Hull.
Scoop’s take: The price is short for an away team. We’d rather back Brentford in the over 1.5 goals market than take that price on the win.

Ipswich v Forest and Sunderland v Leeds look close
Both games are priced tight, with the away teams slight favourites in each.
Scoop’s take: Tight prices often mean low-scoring, cagey games. The draw is worth a look in both.
