Matchday 16 English Premier League<\/h3>\n

Chelsea vs Manchester City<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

There hasn\u2019t been a better candidate for an invincible season since The Invincibles themselves.<\/p>\n

Manchester City have been something of an-other worldly force this season, but will be tested by a Chelsea side that has found new life under Maurizio Sarri.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola\u2019s men have been rampant going forward and stubborn in defence, scoring 45 goals and conceding only seven.<\/p>\n

The team has been led by Raheem Sterling and Sergio Aguero, with Sterling impressing in particular.<\/p>\n

He has scored eight and assisted six to lead the league in goals involved in.<\/p>\n

The Blues have made Stamford Bridge a fortress this season taking 18 of a possible 24 points there and, so far, going undefeated.<\/p>\n

Eden Hazard has once again been spectacular, racking up seven goals and five assists.<\/p>\n

However, a recent loss to Spurs in dominant fashion and a 0-0 draw with Everton shows that Chelsea are capable of being shut down, something that City have done frequently this season.<\/p>\n

They even dropped all three points against Wolverhampton on Thursday morning after taking a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

While this should be one of their harder games, City should be able to get the win.<\/p>\n

Tip: Manchester City @ $1.83<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Leicester vs Spurs<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

While far from the incredible team that won the title in 2016, Leicester have become a solid mid-table side.<\/p>\n

Claude Puel\u2019s men are solid all over the pitch and are unbeaten in their last six. (CHANGE IF THEY LOSE TOMORROW)<\/p>\n

James Maddison has been a revelation in midfield and will be hoping to make amends for his red card, received for diving against Brighton two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Spurs come in to the game following a recent split of the London derbies.<\/p>\n

They humiliated Chelsea at Wembley before being humbled in a 4-2 loss against Arsenal.<\/p>\n

As always, Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen are leading the way. Kane with nine goals, Eriksen with six assists.<\/p>\n

Leicester have struggled to win at home, while Spurs\u2019 away record is strong.<\/p>\n

Spurs should be too strong for Leicester, but the Foxes have a habit of springing a surprise when people least expect it.<\/p>\n

Tip: Tottenham @ $2.00<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Everton vs Watford<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The story heading into this game will be Marco Silva facing off against his former side for the first time.<\/p>\n

The Portuguese manager has steered Everton into sixth place after 15 games, ahead of Manchester United.<\/p>\n

His side have shown the ability to attack with pace and defend stoutly when needed.<\/p>\n

Yerry Mina and Jordan Pickford have been influential in keeping Everton in games, while Richarlison is paying off his price tag up front.<\/p>\n

Pickford will be looking to continue to make up for his Merseyside Derby blunder that cost his side the match.<\/p>\n

Watford have been steady without being spectacular under Javi Gracia.<\/p>\n

They shot out of the blocks and were top after four games, but have since returned to Earth to sit in 11th<\/sup> place.<\/p>\n

Everton should be too strong for the Hornets, but Watford defended well against Man City in midweek and will likely be tough to break down.<\/p>\n

Tip: Everton @ $1.72<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
