WOLVES v MANCHESTER CITY – Click here to bet

Wolves opened their campaign with an impressive 2-0 away win at Sheffield United.  They face Manchester City who finished a distant second to Liverpool last season and who make their first start of their new EPL campaign.

Wolves stunned Manchester City 3-2 at home when they met last season and they actually did the double over City having also beaten them 2-0 on the road.

BETTING

Wolves 21/4

Draw 7/2

Manchester City 5/10

Suggested Bet:  The draw, Wolves (+1) at 27/10

For this bet to arrive I need Manchester City to win by 1 goal exactly.  I do think they are set for a fast start to the new season, but in Wolves they face an opponent that has not only done the double over them last season, but has also started the new season off in great form.  I think City will win this, but hopefully only by a goal.

ASTON VILLA v SHEFFIELD UNITED – Click here to bet

Aston Villa make their first start of the new season, having narrowly avoided relegation last season thanks to a strong run over the last few matches.

Sheffield United play their second game of the campaign having gone down 2-0 at home to Wolves in their opener and early indications are they are going to battle to match their 9th place of last season.  That loss was also their 4th successive League loss in a row.

Sheffield United won this fixture 2-0 last season and the reverse match ended goalless. 

BETTING

Aston Villa 17/10

Draw 9/4

Sheffield United 18/10

Suggested Bet:  Aston Villa win at 17/10

Sheffield United haven’t really impressed me of late and Aston Villa can hit the ground running with 3 valuable away points.

Leicester got off to a strong start with a 3-0 away win over newcomers West Brom last week while Burnley make their first start of the EPL season.

Last season it was the home team that triumphed on each occasion 2-1.

Betting

Leicester 13/20

Draw 3/1

West Ham 9/2

Suggested Bet:  Handicap, Leicester (-1) at 16/10

Leicester looked full of running last week, while this is not a confident play I am backing them to put Burnley to the sword.

CHELSEA v LIVERPOOL – Click here to bet

Both sides got off to winning starts with Chelsea beating Brighton 3-1 away and Liverpool pushed harder than expected to beat Leeds 4-3 at home.

The last time these sides met, Liverpool beat Chelsea 5-3 at home and they also beat Chelsea on the road 2-1 last season.

BETTING

Chelsea 22/10

Draw 28/10

Liverpool 23/20

Suggested Bet:  Chelsea win at 22/10

I have earmarked Chelsea for a strong season and I felt theirs was the more impressive performance of the opening week and they can lay down a marker with a victory here.

NEWCASTLE v BRIGHTON – Click here to bet

Newcastle got their campaign off to a flying start with a 2-0 away win over West Ham last week.  While things didn’t go well for Brighton, losing 3-1 at home to Chelsea.

The last 6 League meetings between these sides has seen no more than 2 goals scored and last season both games played out to goalless draws.

BETTING

Newcastle 17/10

Draw 21/10

Brighton 19/10

Suggested Bet:  Newcastle win at 17/10

Newcastle impressed me last week and I think they can get off to a strong start by bagging their 2nd win.
