Marseille are unbeaten in nine matches, with seven wins, which means they have the confidence going to this game. Their only worry comes in the fact that they have not been so good away from home. On the other hand, Rennes have been good in their last five matches and are unbeaten in seven matches at home. They have scored well in the last seven home matches. They have the third best defence in the league thus far, and basing on their defensive strengths, as well as the fact that they will be at home, we will go for a win for the home team.

Mane is a master of all trades, a jack of none. He is a goalscorer, a creator, a selfless defender. He never stops - he is the embodiment of this Klopp team. Players lead in many different ways - some shout and bawl, others lead by their brilliance married with a ferocious work ethic. Mane is the latter and would be a deserving winner of the PFA Player of the Year Award.

SAVE! Willian carries the ball into the box, cuts onto his right foot, drills for goal, but Leno beats the ball away. GOOOOOOAAAALLLLL!!!! Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal.

In terms of our correct score tip, we can see a pretty comfortable look to the scoreline come the end of the 90 minutes. The hosts have been pretty free-scoring of late and they have scored three or more in three of their last four home matches.

Twente average 1.57 points per home game, below the league average of 1.74 points, while Ajax average 2.43 points per away game, well above the league average of 1.07 points. Ajax score an average of 2.71 goals per away game and concede 1.14 goals and Twente score an average of 2.14 goals per home game and concede 1.57 goals, which is why we have backed a 3-1 win for the visitors this weekend.
