Since laying off former manager Jose Mourinho back in the middle of December, Manchester United is undefeated over its last eight matches with a 7-1-0 run over that stretch. United will look to keep things rolling with a win on the road this Saturday over Fulham.
Manchester United is a -160 road favorite on the Premier League odds in Fulham at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Over Mourinho’s last six matches, the club had earned only one win with a 1-3-2 record. And over Manchester United’s last six road matches under Mourinho, the team went just 1-2-3.
With Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the helm as the club’s caretaker, United is 7-1-0 with a perfect 4-0 record on the road. Fulham will try to snap that road winning streak going off at +450 to win and +330 to earn a point with a draw.
The stakes will be even higher for Manchester United’s crosstown rival on Sunday as Manchester City (-200) hosts Chelsea (+550 to win, +360 to draw). Manchester City has returned to form with a 6-0-1 record over its last seven matches since going just 1-0-3 over its previous four, and leads the Premier League championship odds.
Chelsea picked up a much-needed win in a 5-0 victory over Huddersfield Town last Saturday after losing its previous two matches 2-0 at Arsenal and 4-0 at Bournemouth. Since opening the season with an 8-4-0 record, Chelsea is an underwhelming 7-1-5 over its last 13 matches.
Manchester City will likely need this win to keep pace with Liverpool.
First place Liverpool has a favorable matchup as the biggest favorite on the board this weekend going off at -475 at online betting sites at home against Bournemouth (+1400 to win, +600 to draw). In 14 all-time matches between these two clubs, Liverpool holds a 10-3-1 advantage over Bournemouth.
Rounding out the top six teams in action this weekend, sixth place Arsenal (-165) visits Huddersfield Town (+450 to win, +310 to draw) on Saturday and third place Tottenham Hotspur (-145) hosts Leicester City (+450 to win, +280 to draw) on Sunday.
Tottenham remains the only team in the English Premier League without a draw this season, matching Liverpool with 19 wins but sitting five points out of first place with six losses.
