Arsenal and Manchester City have set the bar for the rest of the league, so the race for the Premier League championship will likely always be a two-team contest. After a 4-0 demolition of Everton on Wednesday, the Gunners head into the weekend with a five-point lead over City. City’s 4-1 win over Bournemouth last weekend has them right on pace as well.
Manchester United has played one fewer game so far and is six points behind its local rivals, only a few points behind the two front-runners. Tottenham completes the top four, having reclaimed a spot in the Champions League by taking advantage of Newcastle’s recent slide.

Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook
Brentford (+370) vs. Fullham (+260)
The longest active unbeaten streak in the league is held by Brentford, who haven’t dropped a game in their last 11 Premier League contests. Fulham has equaled their record road wins in a single season with five wins on the road in league play as they hit the road for this one.
Both teams are capable of scoring, as Fulham has scored 36 goals, which is six more than Brentford’s (37) this season. With 13 games left, the Cottagers are only six points away from a Champions League position, which is an incredible accomplishment for a newly promoted team.
In a match I have much closer to even on paper than the odds suggest, however, I’m taking the nearly 4 to 1 odds here.
Pick: Brentford (+370)
