Three matches headlined the EPL slate on October 11th, and the day delivered some eye-catching results. Crystal Palace got things started in style, dispatching Nottingham Forest 3-1 at home in a comfortable victory that wasn’t as close as the scoreline might suggest. Hull City and Everton played out a 2-2 draw in a competitive midday affair, with neither side able to find a winner. The biggest result of the day came at Anfield, where Manchester City silenced Liverpool with a dominant 3-0 victory, handing the home side a shutout loss in one of the marquee matchups of the weekend.
The XO Sports model finished 2-for-3 on the day, a solid return across a tricky slate. The model correctly sided with Crystal Palace at home, and nailed the Manchester City pick at Liverpool, a result that also aligned with the sportsbook consensus. The lone miss came in the Hull City and Everton match, where the model backed Everton but the game ended level. Predicted scores leaned toward tight, low-scoring games, though the actual margins ran wider in both the Palace and City wins. Overall, a strong day for the model on the picks that mattered most.
