International Champions Cup Betting: Back goals galore from Man City and Spurs

Chelsea 1.77, Inter Milan 4.80, The Draw 3.60

Chelsea are the heavy favourites to win this one, but it is Inter Milan that come into the game off the back of a win.
While Chelsea lost 3-2 to Bayern Munich back on Tuesday, Inter beat the German champions 2-0 on Thursday, as Eder Martins helped himself to a brace.
Luciano Spalletti's team are putting together an impressive run of pre-season form. They lost to Nurnberg in mid-July, but since then have drawn with Schalke and then beat Lyon and Bayern in the ICC without conceding a goal.
The disadvantage that Inter have is that they will only get a day of rest before plunging back into action against Chelsea. They've had a heavy schedule and Spalletti will surely have to rotate his weary squad, before they head back to Italy to play another friendly next weekend.
Chelsea have had longer to rest and can afford to play their strongest side, as they prepare for the Community Shield match against Arsenal at Wembley in eight days time. Their squad has looked somewhat threadbare on occasion this summer, but it has allowed Michy Batshuayi a chance to shine in the absence of Diego Costa, while new signing Alvaro Morata made his first appearance in the loss to Bayern Munich.
A fresh, full-strength Chelsea team look a decent price to win at 1.77, though the draw is also worth considering at 3.60 as Inter come into this game in good form.
With the result in question, it's perhaps best to play it safe with Over 2.5 Goals at 1.61. Chelsea have scored five in their two friendlies so far, while Inter have found the net in all five of their games this summer.

Manchester City 2.14, Tottenham 3.00, The Draw 3.65

Two teams looking to battle for the Premier League title this season get an early chance to weigh each other up, when Manchester City take on Spurs in Nashville.
City have already met one of their domestic rivals when they lost to Manchester United in this tournament, but bounced back in spectacular style to thrash Real Madrid 4-1 on Thursday. Tottenham have also suffered mixed fortunes in the ICC, beating PSG in a 4-2 thriller, before losing 3-2 to Roma on Wednesday.
Spurs have had an extra day of rest and were unbeaten against City last season, beating them at White Hart Lane and fighting back for a draw against the run of play at the Etihad. In both encounters the home side's heavy pressing caused huge problems for the visiting opposition, but in the hot American sun at such an early stage of pre-season, it's unlikely that either team will be able to recapture last season's efforts.
Tottenham's price is the most appealing considering that they are two well-matched sides, with the Double Chance available at 1.67 for the Londoners. A safer bet however, is surely to back plenty of goals. Over 3.5 Goals looks big at [2.25] considering that City managed that feat on their own against Real Madrid and both of Spurs' ICC games have produced a bonanza of goals.
Some brilliant attacking talent from both sides have yet to find the net this summer and look nicely priced to break their duck. In the To Score market, Sergio Aguero leads the way at [2.25], with Gabriel Jesus at 2.40, Harry Kane at 2.50 and Dele Alli out at 3.50.

Southampton v Arsenal: Gunners set for a night of frustration

Southampton v Arsenal Wednesday, 19:45 Southampton  Claude Puel has done a decent job at Southampton this season, but his future at the club could rest on how well his team performs in their last four games of the season. The Saints can finish as high as eighth or as low as 16th. A bottom-half finish could be enough to seal the fate of the former Nice manager, with rumours suggesting that the club hierarchy are considering his future. It's true that Southampton's Premier League campaign has been rather underwhelming, with the side struggling to find any consistency this season, yet Puel did guide them to the EFL Cup final. He's inherited a weaker squad than previous managers enjoyed, which has lacked firepower for much of the season. Charlie Austin could return against Arsenal to help to solve that problem, while the defender Matt Targett is another player in contention. Virgil can Dijk remains out. Arsenal The Gunners gave themselves hope o...
