Welcome back to “The Kick-Off”! We are rolling along once again, however, accompanied by some very interesting pricing. We will have a mini 3-game slate for this Saturday and it is kicked off by none other than slate favorites, Liverpool -425 and followed by Chelsea -370.
With only three games and extremely soft pricing, making the winning lineup will be very difficult and it will take the best forms of creativity when making lineups. With that being said, do not be afraid to feel extremely uncomfortable when building lines.
If you have any questions on today's slate, bankroll management, GPP strategy, Cash game strategy, or anything else don’t hesitate to email me at [email protected] or via Twitter @df_solutions or on “SLACK”.

The Kick-Off - EPL Matchweek 16
[H] Arsenal (-150) vs Southampton [A] (+400): Total: 2 1/2o
Neither club are in the best of form in general, however, Arsenal is undefeated in their last six at home and more impressively they have a 4-match win streak during that span. The Gunners will also be hurting without their duo of Smith-Rowe and Martinelli. The visitors though may not be rostering their best attack on the field and it will drastically affect their chances of taking a point at Emirates.
Expected Outcome: 2-0 Arsenal

[H] Chelsea (-370) vs [A] Leeds United (+950): Total: 3u
Leeds are starting to finally get their feet back on the pitch, meanwhile, Chelsea is coming off two straight draws against Manchester United and Zenit. However, the bulk of the problem for the Blues is their leaky defense as of late and they will need to do some patchwork to keep the speedy Leeds attack out of the box. This looks to be one of the more exciting matches of the slate with Chelsea lining both Werner and Lukaku up front.
Expected Outcome: 4-1 Chelsea

[H] Liverpool (-425) vs [A] Aston Villa (+1000) Total: 3 1/2u
Once a member of the starting XI, Gerrard will now encounter his first major test against the red-hot Liverpool at home. Liverpool is on a massive undefeated run and Villa have lost four of their last six matches away. Liverpool will be without Jota though after he failed to practice a few days this week due to a possible strain. Nevertheless, the Reds will maintain their unbeaten run here.
Expected Outcome: 3-0 Liverpool
