This is becoming ridiculous...
So far this season, I've picked out four footy trebles and EVERY week, two of the three teams have come in!
Surely, this is the week where I have luck on my side and the first trifecta of the campaign rolls in.
Let's have a look at who we fancy this week...
(Prices may fluctuate between time of writing and game time, dependent on market activity)
Chelsea vs West Ham United
We're starting with the 3pm kick-off at Stamford Bridge between Chelsea and West Ham.
Both teams have started poorly this campaign, and lie 10th and 14th in the table respectively.
The Blues are looking to bounce back from midweek disappointment at St. Mary's while West Ham got a very decent point at home to Spurs.
Chelsea haven't been able to put any results together so far, as their opening five results reads as WDLWL - very inconsistent.
The Hammers are hoping to build on a very respectable 7th placed finish last term, but losing their opening three games won't have helped their ambitions.
Their first win of the season came away at Aston Villa last weekend, but things still don't look like they've clicked for the Irons yet.
The home advantage is what sways me towards a Chelsea win, but it'll be a close game.
Chelsea win at 8/15.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham
Our second pick comes from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Spurs host Fulham.
Antonio Conte's side will be disappointed they dropped points midweek considering the start to the season they've had. However, they are one of the three teams that remain unbeaten.
Fulham have started the season in fine form, and set the tone for their season on the opening weekend with a solid draw against Liverpool.
They very nearly ended Arsenal's unbeaten start at the Emirates last weekend after taking the lead though Aleksandar Mitrovic, but responded to that defeat with a fantastic win over Brighton in midweek.
Fulham's home form has been immaculate thus far, however, they are still waiting for their first away win in any competition this season. They lost 2-0 to Crawley Town in an EFL Cup giant killing, and they also failed to win any of their last three Championship games on the road last term.
For that reason, I'm leaning towards a Spurs win at 1/2.
Wolves vs Southampton
Our final pick comes from the Molineux as Wolves face Southampton.
Wolves are still winless after five games so far, and currently occupy a place in the relegation zone. Southampton's recent wins over Leicester and Chelsea has seen them move up to the top half of the table.
Bruno Lage's side will be disappointed to have drawn with an out-of-sorts Bournemouth in midweek, and will almost definitely see that result as two points dropped.
They've only scored two goals so far this season, so I can definitely see this game being a low-scoring affair.
The Saints have enjoyed some recent success with wins over Leicester and Chelsea, and could even take positives out of the defeat against Manchester United.
But consistency has been their biggest issue so far, and they've been unable to string results together.
I think this will be a close game, so I'm going for the draw at 5/2.
Summary
Chelsea to beat West Ham
Spurs to beat Fulham
Wolves and Southampton to draw
Our trader's price for the treble - 15/2!
