The Blues head to GTech Stadium as favourites to beat Brentford, and Davido clearly trusts them to deliver even without Cole Palmer, who is still sidelined with injury, per Sportsmole.
Tottenham are also enjoying a fine run and are tipped to win against West Ham in a London derby that could keep them in the title race, per Sofascore.
Davido’s most daring pick, however, is Everton to beat Aston Villa, a game some fans have described as risky given the Toffees’ unpredictable form.

Davido bets on Palmer to score
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Davido tipped Cole Palmer to shine against Fulham in their matchday 3 of the 2025/26 English Premier League on Saturday, August 30.
Unfortunately, Chelsea's coach Enzo Maresca said Palmer will not be available for the clash against Fulham as he suffered the injury during their second match against West Ham last weekend.
