Premier League Weekend Tips: Chelsea v Spurs London Derby Under the Lights

Premier League Weekend Tips - Chelsea 0-2 Tottenham: The Result
Below you'll find the result, what the pre-match prices said, what the match taught you, tips for Sunday, and where to check the latest Premier League odds before you commit to anything.
- Venue: Stamford Bridge, Saturday 24 October, kick-off 17:30 BST, in wet and windy conditions as Storm Boelo hit the UK
- Goals: Mike Penders' own goal from a Mateus Fernandes corner in the 77th minute, and Mathys Tel in the 87th
- Red card: Cole Palmer was sent off for a second yellow in the 80th minute, after escaping an earlier red card
- Table: Chelsea stay on 13 points from eight games, Tottenham move to nine points and back-to-back league wins
It was only Tottenham's second league win at Stamford Bridge in 42 attempts and their first since April 2018. Chelsea were without João Pedro, goalkeeper Penders was making his full league debut, and Spurs' James Maddison went off injured in the 51st minute. Roberto De Zerbi's side were the better team for most of the game.
What the Market Said Before the Derby
Chelsea were clear favourites at around 1.75 to 1.84, with the draw near 4.27 and Tottenham at about 4.33. A Chelsea or draw double chance was around 1.25. Most previews followed the favourite: Whispers had Chelsea 3-1 and backed both teams to score at about 1.57, others picked Chelsea to win outright or over 3.5 goals, and Cole Palmer to score anytime was around 2.75. One model gave Chelsea a 57% chance. You can compare prices across markets like these on the Premier League matches page.
The result went against almost every popular pick. Chelsea to win, both teams to score, over 3.5 goals and Palmer to score anytime all lost, and so did Chelsea or draw. The one preview that landed was Sportytrader's under 3.5 goals, and Tottenham at 4.33 was the best price on the board.
What the Derby Teaches You About Your Next Bets
The first lesson is that a big favourite in a rivalry game still needs to turn up. Chelsea had scored two or more goals in five of their seven league games before this one, yet failed to score, a reminder that goal-heavy form doesn't guarantee a goal-heavy game. The second is that discipline matters: Palmer's red card turned a quiet game into a Spurs win. The third is that the draw and underdog prices are worth a look when the market is this one-sided.

Premier League Weekend Tips: Liverpool v Brighton
Liverpool host Brighton at Anfield at 14:00 GMT. Brighton are four points ahead of Liverpool in the table and are 14/1 fourth favourites in the title market, with Liverpool at 20/1. Liverpool were around 2.12 to 2.18 to win, the draw 3.75 to 4.00, and Brighton 3.10 to 3.30.
The goals picture is clear: Liverpool have scored 12 goals in their last three games and have only one clean sheet in their last six, Brighton have scored two or more in each of their last four league outings, and five of the last six meetings at Anfield produced more than 2.5 goals. Both teams to score was around 1/2 (1.50), and Liverpool to win with both teams to score about 5/2 (3.50). Once the game starts, live soccer betting lets you see how it develops.
Tip: both teams to score, or over 2.5 goals if you want a slightly longer price, with Liverpool to win and both teams to score as the higher-risk alternative.
Sunday's Tips: Manchester United v Bournemouth
Manchester United host Bournemouth at 14:00 GMT, hoping to end a five-game league winless run against them. Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last six meetings with United, winning four, and arrive after beating Sunderland to climb out of the bottom three. A model put United at about 2.38 (+138) to win, and previews were split between a 2-1 United win and a 2-2 draw.
With form like that, backing either team outright is a coin flip. A both teams to score angle suits a match where both defences have leaked goals, and you can see what's listed across the weekend on the upcoming matches page.
Tip: both teams to score, and keep any outright stake small.
Looking Ahead
The title picture is wide open, with Arsenal winning 2-0 against Everton on Saturday and Brighton emerging as a surprise contender. Sportsbet.io's Premier League outrights page lists season-long markets, and the soccer hub is the starting point for the leagues Sportsbet.io lists.
Betting Responsibly Over a Premier League Weekend
A busy weekend can tempt you to add bets after an early result goes against you. Treat every tip above as one opinion among many, not a guaranteed result, and set your budget before the weekend's first kick-off rather than adjusting it match by match.
Account tools such as deposit limits, loss limits, and time-outs help keep your betting within a budget you're comfortable with. Sportsbet.io's responsible gambling page explains how to set these up. Betting should stay entertainment, not a way to chase back a loss from an earlier match.
