This week's English Premier League (EPL) matchups are a mixed bag of top-tier matchups between teams near the top of the table and clashes between squads with sub-.500 records. I've detailed what I expect from some of those matches. Here are the best English Premier League picks for Matchweek 10.

Premier League Picks & Predictions: Matchweek 10
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Leeds United vs. Tottenham Hotspur
Leeds United is in the bottom half of the Premier League table with a 2-5-2 mark. But they actually have a positive goal differential thus far.
Tottenham Hotspur is in the top half of the table - but just barely at 3-3-3 - and they sport a goal differential of exactly zero.
But Tottenham Hotspur has played significantly better recently, winning their last three EPL matches, while Leeds United is 0-3-2 in their last five.
Leeds United is the favorite, but I'm going with Tottenham Hotspur to win. I'm also backing Dominic Solanke to score first. He's gotten plenty of shots but hasn't scored in his last three Premier League outings. I expect he'll finally find the back of the net here.
Pick: Tottenham Hotspur Moneyline (+155) & Dominic Solanke First Goalscorer (+750)
Fulham vs. Newcastle United
Neither team has been playing at a high level recently.
Newcastle United is 3-2-4 with a -3 goal differential. Fulham is 2-3-4 with a -2 goal differential. Both are in the bottom half of the table.
But Fulham has shown more life recently, going 2-1-0 in their last three EPL matches and conceding just one goal in that stretch. Newcastle United has lost three of its last four Premier League matches, allowing six goals during that stretch.
I like Fulham to pull off the win.
Pick: Fulham Moneyline (+110)
Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Brentford
Brighton & Hove Albion are the favorites at home, and rightfully so. They rank third in the EPL table with a 6-1-2 record. But they're 1-0-1 in their last two Premier League matches, so they're not invincible.
Brentford, meanwhile, is 2-2-1 in their last six EPL matches. So while they're sixth in the table at 3-5-1, they've been playing some of their best soccer lately.
And since neither team has scored more than two goals in their last five matchups, I'm predicting a low-scoring draw.
Pick: Draw (+280) & Under 2.5 Goals (+135)
