The attack-minded Ange Postecoglou is still chasing his first win as Forest boss, while Chelsea &#8211; who beat Liverpool 2-1 before the international break &#8211; are riddled with defensive injuries. Against the Reds, Enzo Maresca\u2019s side adopted the \u2018attack is the best form of defence\u2019 strategy, and it is a method which may serve them well again at the City Ground. After all, Forest are yet to keep a clean sheet in any competition this season, and conceded three times in their last home match vs Midtjylland. Chelsea have also kept just one clean sheet in the last six, letting in two or more goals in three of the last four away contests. So the numbers suggest the BTTS market is a very safe bet here.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Manchester City vs Everton: Anytime goalscorer &#8211; Erling Haaland @ 1.67<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Haaland is arguably in the best form of his career right now, and registered another hat-trick for Norway in a 5-0 win over Israel last Saturday. The City striker was sent home soon after that game for a well-earned rest, which is pretty ominous for the Everton defence. A fit and firing Haaland at the Etihad is a scary prospect, with the striker already tallying nine Premier League goals in 2025-26, while he has scored in 10 consecutive matches for club and country. Oh and if you still need more convincing about this selection, Haaland has netted four goals in four previous appearances vs Everton.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth: Draw @ 3.31<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A battle between two of the early-season surprise packages, with both Palace and Bournemouth sitting inside the Top 6 ahead of kick-off. The former\u2019s unbeaten run came to an end on Matchday 7 as they were defeated 2-1 by Everton, while the Cherries continued their brilliant form with a 3-1 victory over Fulham. Just two points separates the sides in the table, and with high-quality performers such as Antoine Semenyo and Ismaila Sarr set to be on show, this could well be the most exciting match of the weekend. Picking a winner is incredibly hard, which leads us to believe the \u2018draw\u2019 option may prove to be a real source of value. For what it is worth, both matches featuring these teams last season finished as a draw.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Brighton vs Newcastle: Anytime goalscorer &#8211; Nick Woltemade @ 2.75<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summer signing Woltemade continued his great run of form with a first goal for Germany in Monday\u2019s crucial 1-0 victory in Northern Ireland. The giant striker has already struck three times in four Premier League appearances for Newcastle this season, netting from the penalty spot in the 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Matchday 7. And against a Brighton defence which is yet to keep a top-flight clean sheet this season, Woltemade will surely fancy the chance of adding to his tally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you choose NetBet Sport, you can enjoy a whole range of top-quality sports and markets.
