Watching title contenders Arsenal mark their return to Premier League duties this weekend, we have a quartet of intriguing affairs on the cards.

Ahead of a stacked Premier League schedule, we have taken an in-depth look at some the most eye-catching betting markets that are available.

Saturday, October 28th

12:30 Chelsea vs Brentford

While Chelsea might have suffered a real collapse at home against London rivals Arsenal last weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 stalemate, the Blues should take plenty of positives away from any eye-catching performance. Appearing to have turned a recent corner on either side of October’s international break, Saturday’s hosts will be desperate to keep up their momentum here.

Heading into the fortnight interval with a routine 4-1 romp away at relegation scrappers Burnley, Mauricio Pochettino’s side are unbeaten in each of their previous four meetings against Premier League opposition.

Finding a recent clinical edge in the final third, the former Tottenham boss has seen his squad bag eight goals in just their last three top-flight appearances.

Finding a route into the top-half of the Premier League table, Chelsea will now be hoping to find some recent stability when their west London rivals arrive at Stamford Bridge this weekend.

On the flip side, while Brentford might have shown their own extended inconstancies since opening up the 2023/24 campaign, Saturday’s guests certainly claimed a major boost last weekend.

Storming their way to a 3-0 romp against Burnley, Thomas Frank’s side will also be excited by a remarkable recent record against the former Premier League champions.

Including a famous 4-1 victory when they travelled across west London 18 months ago, Brentford have collected seven points from their last three Premier League clashes.

Despite not landing a single top-flight victory on the road since the middle of August, some in Frank’s camp could be smelling the chance to spring an upset.

Chelsea vs Brentford Best Betting Markets:

  • Both teams to score @ 4/5 with 1xBet
  • Cole Palmer to have over 0.5 shots on target @ 1/2 with BetUS
  • Yoane Wissa to have over 0.5 shots on target @ 21/20 with Pribet

15:00 Arsenal vs Sheffield United

Marking their return to Champions League action earlier in the week as they secured a 2-1 victory away at Spanish outfit Sevilla, Arsenal will be smelling the chance to make another statement here. Returning to north London on Saturday afternoon and once again setting their sights on another title charge this time around, the Gunners are rightfully tipped as a landslide contender at the Emirates.

Once again flying out of the traps since opening up the 2023/24 campaign, Mikel Arteta and his young squad squad are unbeaten from any of their first nine Premier League appearances.

Mounting a dramatic comeback at Stamford Bridge last weekend as they eventually secured a thrilling 2-2 draw, Arsenal will be excited by their continued success at the Emirates on either side of the summer break.

In fact, Arteta’s men have suffered just a single Premier League defeat in front of their own supporters since a 3-1 loss against defending champions Manchester City back on February 15th.

Relishing a return to domestic duties on Saturday afternoon, there is no doubt that they will be looking to cash in on a Sheffield United squad that are in the midst of a public Premier League struggle.

Marking their return from October’s international break with a 2-1 loss at home against Manchester United, the Blades have remarkably collected just a single win from their opening nine top-flight contests.

Coming under a huge amount of scrutiny and with the pressure on Paul Heckingbottom’s shoulders really reaching a boiling point, Sheffield United face a monumental challenge in north London this weekend.

Arsenal vs Sheffield United Best Betting Markets:

  • Arsenal half-time/full-time @ 3/5 with Olympusbet
  • Arsenal win to nil @ 8/11 with Dachbet
  • Luke Thomas to be shown a card @ 7/2 with Luckster

17:30 Wolves vs Newcastle

Putting in a toothless Champions League performance at St. James’ Park earlier in the week, Newcastle will certainly be seeking an immediate response here. Eventually suffering a 1-0 defeat at the hands of German giants Borussia Dortmund, the Magpies should be relishing a return to domestic action on Saturday evening.

Marking their return from October’s international break with a rampant display as they claimed a 4-0 romp against Crystal Palace, Eddie Howe’s side have continued to gain a host of plaudits from up and down the country.

With their sights set on securing another famous top-four finish this season, the former Bournemouth boss has seen his squad muster 13 points from their previous five Premier League showdowns.

With their domestic purple patch underlined by a stunning 8-0 victory away at Sheffield United on September 24th, Newcastle will be seeking a repeat performance in the Midlands this weekend.

On the flip side, while Wolves might be tipped as an underdog contender this weekend, Gary O’Neil’s side should find the mood in their camp at a recent high.

Mounting a stellar late comeback away at Bournemouth on their return from October’s international break, Saturday’s guests have impressed many on either side of the fortnight interval.

Claiming a famous 2-1 victory against Manchester City last month, Wolves are unbeaten in their previous four straight Premier League contests and they now sit just a single point adrift of breaking into the top-half.

Wolves vs Newcastle Best Betting Markets:

  • Newcastle win @ 4/5 with Vegas Land
  • Wolves to be shown over 2.5 cards @ 19/20 with Olympusbet
  • Craig Dawson to be shown a card @ 7/2 with BetUS
