class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the Reds not yet up to full speed, Al Hain-Cole is backing Bielsa's men to give them a tough 90 minutes in their Premier League opener at Anfield

Liverpool will be hoping to begin their Premier League title defence with a win when they welcome Leeds United to Anfield on Saturday.

The Reds ended their 30-year wait for a league trophy in style last season, being crowned champions with a record seven games to spare.

Liverpool vs Leeds Latest Odds

Unbeaten in 59 league matches on home turf, they are priced at 1/4 (1.25) with bet365 to pick up where they left off by coming out on top here.

However, Marcelo Bielsa’s men are also on a high after returning to the top flight following a 16-year absence thanks to a victorious Championship campaign, and can be backed at 9/1 (10.00) to mark the occasion with a shock win.

The sides shared a 2-2 draw at Elland Road in their last Premier League encounter back in 2004, and you can get odds of 5/1 (6.00) on them cancelling each other out once again.

Liverpool vs Leeds Team News

Jordan Henderson is unlikely to feature despite returning to training following injury, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Xherdan Shaqiri are injured and new signing Kostas Tsimikas is unavailable.

Newly capped England international Kalvin Phillips is available after missing last season’s run-in due to injury, although Adam Forshaw remains short of fitness.

Liverpool vs Leeds Preview

While on the one hands the visitors could hardly have asked for a more difficult opener for their long-awaited comeback season, it may be positive to take on the champions at this early stage and before they have hit their stride.

With only a short pre-season behind them, Jurgen Klopp’s men certainly looked off their usual pace in the penalty shootout Community Shield defeat to Arsenal – most notably their famous front three.

Liverpool vs Leeds Tips and Predictions

Having let in just 35 goals in 46 Championship matches on their way to promotion, including only six times in their final 15, Leeds look well worth the generous 6/4 (2.50) to ensure under 2.5 goals against a Liverpool team not yet up to speed.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the Foxes missing several key defensive players, Al Hain-Cole expects goals at both ends when they take on Bilic's newly-promoted side on Sunday

West Bromwich Albion will be hoping to make a winning return to the Premier League when they welcome Leicester City to the Hawthorns on Sunday.

Slaven Bilic steered the side to automatic promotion in his first season in command, securing a runners-up spot behind runaway champions Leeds.

West Brom vs Leicester Latest Odds

Having won just four of their last 25 top flight matches on home turf, they are 14/5 (3.80) outsiders with bet365 to celebrate their comeback with a shock victory over the 2015-16 champions.

The Foxes finished last season on a sour note after losing out on a top four spot in the final match of the campaign, but are available at 19/20 (1.95) to get off to a positive start this time around by coming out on top here.

Three of the hosts’ last four league matches last season resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 13/5 (3.60) on them earning a stalemate in this one.

West Brom vs Leicester Team News

Conor Townsend and Kenneth Zohore both failed late fitness tests due to respective ankle and calf injuries.

Christian Fuchs and Ricardo Pereira are injured and Wes Morgan and James Maddison are also out, while Johnny Evans serves the first match of his three-game suspension for the red card he picked up on the final day of last season.

West Brom XI: Johnstone, Furlong, Bartley, Ajayi, O’Shea, Gibbs, Costa Pereira, Livermore, Sawyers, Diangana, Robinson

Leicester XI: Schmeichel, Justin, Ndidi, Soyuncu, Castagne, Mendy, Perez, Praet, Tielemans, Barnes, Vardy

West Brom vs Leicester Preview

Although surely determined to put last season’s collapse behind them as soon as possible, Brendan Rodgers’ team is severely hampered by the list of absentees – particularly in defence.

Having failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last six league matches on the road last season – conceding 10 times in the last four – they are surely vulnerable to a Baggies team buoyed by their recent promotion.

West Brom vs Leicester Tips and Predictions

All in all, odds of 4/5 (1.80) look like solid value on both teams finding the net for the seventh time in eight encounters between West Brom and Leicester.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Both games between these two sides last season were close encounters and we are backing another low-scoring game in the capital this weekend

Tottenham begin their Premier League campaign on Sunday afternoon as Jose Mourinho’s men welcome Everton to north London.

Spurs made some interesting signings this summer with Matt Doherty and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg joining, although they still remain without a real back-up for Harry Kane after loaning youngster Troy Parrott out to Millwall.

The Toffees also made some eye-catching moves in the transfer market, not least the high-profile capture of James Rodriguez from Real Madrid, and will be hoping to begin in positive fashion against a side they have not beaten since 2012.

Tottenham vs Everton Latest Odds

Only Liverpool and Manchester City won more home matches than Spurs last term and bet365 price the hosts at 5/6 (1.83) to claim a victory.

Everton won just five of their 19 away matches and are offered at 10/3 (4.33), with the draw at 13/5 (3.60).

Tottenham vs Everton Team News

Giovani Lo Celso is the hosts’ major absentee ahead of the season-opener, with the Argentina international having missed most of pre-season.

Everton have some holes in defence with Mason Holgate out, however Yerry Mina starts while James Rodriguez makes his Premier League debut.

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Doherty, Alderweireld, Dier, Davies, Hojbjerg, Winks, Dele, Lucas, Son, Kane

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Mina, Keane, Digne, Allan, Gomes, Doucoure, James, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin

Tottenham vs Everton Preview

Much of the attention on this game will surely be focused on James Rodriguez, with his signing certainly sending out a message that the Toffees are intent on seriously improving their 12th place finish from last term.

The Colombian should provide some world-class service into the box for Everton’s forwards, something that was missing from Carlo Ancelotti’s side last season.

Indeed, Everton’s matches last season averaged 2.63 goals – one of the lowest totals in the division – with 20 of their games seeing less than three goals scored.

Spurs, though, conceded just 17 home goals last term, with only four teams shipping fewer, and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium remains a tough place to visit.

Both games between these two sides in the previous campaigns were tight, low-scoring affairs and backing a similar clash on Sunday makes sense.

Tottenham vs Everton Tips And Predictions

Under 2.5 goals is priced at 9/10 (1.90) and looks like a solid option, while both teams to score ‘no’ could also appeal at 19/20 (1.95).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the Blades defensively strong at home and Espirito Santo's men watertight on the road, Al Hain-Cole isn't expecting much action at Bramall Lane

Sheffield United will be looking to dispel fears of a difficult second season when they welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Bramall Lane in Monday’s Premier League clash.

The Blades enjoyed an extremely successful newly-promoted campaign last season, exceeding all expectations to achieve a comfortable top half finish.

Sheffield United vs Wolves Latest Odds

Having taken four points from the two meetings with this opposition in 2019-20, they are available at 9/4 (3.25) with bet365 to get off to a strong start by coming out on top here.

However, only champions Liverpool lost fewer away matches last season than Nuno Espirito Santo’s men, who are 11/8 (2.38) favourites to collect maximum points in Yorkshire.

Just one of the last six encounters between this pair has resulted in a draw, but there are odds of 21/10 (3.10) on offer on this one finishing up all square.

Sheffield United vs Wolves Team News

Simon Moore, Sander Berge, Lys Mousset, and David McGoldrick will all face late fitness tests as they struggle with minor injuries.

Adam Traore is likely to start at right wing back following Matt Doherty’s departure to Tottenham, although Jonny will not feature on the opposite flank after being ruled out due to injury.

Sheffield United vs Wolves Preview

While both of these sides have won plenty of admirers since gaining promotion over the last couple of seasons, they may not have too many neutrals tuning in expecting a free-scoring match.

Only Manchester City conceded fewer goals on home turf than Chris Wilder’s outfit last season, with just six of their 19 home matches seeing more than two goals and the same number producing goals at both ends

Sheffield United vs Wolves Tips and Predictions

Considering Wolves boasted the league’s third best defensive record on the road and were joined on the scoresheet in only one of their final 11 fixtures last season, odds of 4/5 (1.80) look solid on no more than one team getting on target in a match featuring under 2.5 goals.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The visitors saw plenty of goals scored in their matches last term and we are backing their season opener at the Amex Stadium to continue that trend

Chelsea begin their Premier League campaign with a short trip to Brighton on Monday evening and hopes are high for Frank Lampard’s side after a summer of big spending.

Whether the Blues will be able to challenge for the title remains to be seen, but they are certainly clear favourites to begin the season with a win.

Brighton vs Chelsea Latest Odds

The Seagulls won just five of their 19 home matches last season, with only bottom club Norwich managing fewer home wins.

Graham Potter’s side are priced at 9/2 (5.50) with bet365 to record their first ever Premier League win over Chelsea, with the visitors offered at 4/7 (1.57).

These two sides played out a 1-1 draw in a friendly a couple of weeks ago while their most recent competitive meeting back in January also ended in the same scoreline, and another draw can be backed at 10/3 (4.33).

Brighton vs Chelsea Team News

The hosts have doubts over Dutch midfielder Davey Propper who has been struggling with an achilles problem, while Jose Izquierdo and Christian Walton remain out.

Chelsea should give debuts to new signings Timo Werner and Kai Havertz but fellow newcomers Ben Chilwell, Hakim Ziyech and Thiago Silva are all set to miss out, while Mateo Kovacic is suspended. 

Brighton vs Chelsea Preview

Despite being separated by 11 places in the table and 23 points, these two sides conceded the same number of goals last season.

Chelsea’s total of 54 goals against contributed to their matches being the second most prolific in the division, averaging 3.24 goals, although Lampard will surely be hoping to tighten things up defensively.

On the road, the Blues were the second top scorers and the additions of Werner and Havertz are likely to seriously increase the west Londoners’ firepower.

Brighton should be more competitive this season thanks to the addition of Adam Lallana and the emergence of Ben White, but they did struggle at home against the top sides last season, losing 3-0 to Manchester United, 3-1 to Liverpool and 5-0 to Manchester City.

Brighton vs Chelsea Tips And Predictions

Chelsea to win and over 2.5 goals is priced at 7/5 (2.40) and eight of the Blues’ nine away wins last term came with at least three goals in the game.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having finished the season on a high and strengthened their squad since, Goal is backing Dean Smith's men to start with a win over the Blades

Aston Villa will be hoping to get their Premier League season off to a winning start when they welcome Sheffield United to Villa Park on Monday.

The Villans’ scheduled opener against Manchester City was postponed due to their opponents’ involvement in the latter stages of the Champions League, meaning they sat out the first weekend’s curtain raisers.

Aston Villa vs Sheffield United latest odds

Aston Villa are available at 8/5 (2.60) with bet365 to make up for lost time by kicking things off with a victory on home turf.

Chris Wilder’s men were beaten 2-0 at home to Wolves in their opening clash but can be backed at 9/5 (2.80) to bounce back by coming out on top here.

The last three encounters between this duo at this ground have all resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 11/5 (3.20) on this one also finishing all square.

Aston Villa vs Sheffield United team news

New signings Ollie Watkins, Emiliano Martinez and Matty Cash are all likely to start for the hosts, although it may prove too soon for latest addition Bertrand Traore while Wesley, Bjorn Engels and Tom Heaton are all injured.

Ethan Ampadu, Jayden Bogle and Max Lowe could be in contention after making their debuts against Burnley in the EFL Cup last week but Lys Mousset is ruled out and Simon Moore is doubtful.

Aston Villa vs Sheffield United preview

Although they finished almost 20 points adrift of their fellow newly-promoted visitors last season, Dean Smith’s men will have finished the campaign in higher spirits after going unbeaten in their final four matches to avoid the drop on the last day.

In contrast, the Blades saw their dream of European qualification disappear after three defeats in the last three games and just six points from the last available 30 on the road.

Aston Villa vs Sheffield United predictions

Having strengthened in the transfer market and enjoyed more time to prepare for this clash since last week’s comfortable EFL Cup win over Burton Albion, Villa look well worth backing at those 8/5 (3.60) odds to pick up where they left off with another win.

All odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>This fixture last season saw the hosts edge a five-goal thriller at Molineux and Goal are backing another high-scoring encounter this week

Manchester City play their first game of the Premier League season on Monday evening as Pep Guardiola’s men visit Molineux to take on Wolves.

The side from the Black Country won both of their encounters with City last season and have been something of a bogey team for the Citizens who have won just one of their last five meetings in all competitions.

Wolves vs Manchester City Latest Odds

Nuno Espirito Santo saw his team get off to a winning start last Monday, beating Sheffield United 2-0 at Bramall Lane and they can be backed at 5/1 (6.00) with bet365 to claim another victory.

The visitors are offered at 1/2 (1.50) while the draw is priced at 7/2 (4.50).

Wolves vs Manchester City Team News

The hosts have practically a fully fit squad from which to choose, with long-term absentee Jonny Otto the only player unavailable.

City are without both Sergio Aguero and Aymeric Laporte, while Bernardo Silva is also doubtful with a muscle problem.

Wolves vs Manchester City Preview

While they were far from the most prolific team at home last season, Wolves did manage to consistently find the back of the net at Molineux.

The Europa League quarter-finalists scored in 16 of their 19 league games in their own stadium, including against Liverpool, City, Chelsea and Manchester United.

The sale of Diogo Jota to Liverpool last week is of course a blow to their attacking ambitions, yet they will still be able to compete well on Monday night with the likes of Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore looking particularly dangerous in the season-opener last week. 

City meanwhile only kept clean sheets in seven away games last term and while Guardiola’s men can almost always be relied upon for goals, on the road they do concede chances.

Last season, City’s matches averaged the highest number of goals in the division and backing them to get their campaign underway with another high-scoring clash makes sense.

Wolves vs Manchester City Preview

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is priced at 11/10 (2.10) and looks like an attractive selection, while over 3.5 goals is priced at 7/4 (2.75) and paid out in 11 of City’s 19 away games last term.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Bundesliga champions are highly fancied to claim another trophy and we think they will triumph in an entertaining clash at the Puskas Arena

Champions League winners Bayern Munich face Europa League winners Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup on Thursday evening.

Hans-Dieter Flick’s side are clear favourites to lift more silverware having claimed their sixth European Cup in such emphatic fashion last month.

Sevilla, meanwhile, have contested this trophy on five occasions but their only victory came back in 2006 against Barcelona.

Bayern Munich vs Sevilla Latest Odds

The 30-time Bundesliga champions are odds-on to win in 90 minutes priced at 1/3 (1.33) with bet365.

Sevilla are available at 13/2 (7.50) to win, while the draw, which would see the clash head into extra-time, is on offer at 9/2 (5.50).

Bayern Munich vs Sevilla Team News

Bayern were without both Alphonso Davies and David Alaba in their Bundesliga opener against Schalke last week, but both players are expected to be able to feature on Thursday.

Sevilla will be without Ever Banega and Sergio Reguilon, two key components of the team from last season who have subsequently left the side from the south of Spain.

Ivan Rakitic could make his second debut for the club after re-joining from Barcelona, but fellow new signing Marcos Acuna is not likely to be fully fit to start at left-back. 

Bayern Munich vs Sevilla Preview

The Bavarians began their domestic season in ominous fashion last week with an 8-0 thrashing of Schalke and confidence could not be higher heading into the showdown with Sevilla.

Their last eight competitive fixtures have seen them score 35 goals and they will surely take some stopping on Thursday.

Their opponents are, however, in sensational form themselves with Julen Lopetegui’s men racking up 21 matches unbeaten, winning nine of their last 10 games of the 2019-20 season.

The Liga side should be able to compete and contribute to an open game, yet the fact that Bayern have already begun their domestic campaign and are likely to be sharper could be decisive.

Bayern Munich vs Sevilla Tips And Predictions

Bayern to win and both teams to score is offered at 13/10 (2.30) and looks like a shrewd angle from which to approach the game.

Sevilla are a strong side who have goalscoring options all over the pitch, yet the European champions are likely to be too good for them.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With the Baggies looking vulnerable at the back, Al Hain-Cole is backing Frank Lampard's men to ease to a big win at the Hawthorns on Saturday

West Bromwich Albion will be hoping to get off the mark when they welcome Chelsea to the Hawthorns in Saturday’s Premier League clash.

Slaven Bilic’s men have been soundly beaten by Leicester City and Everton in their first two matches since promotion and were knocked out of the Carbao Cup by Brentford in midweek.

West Brom vs Chelsea latest odds

Having lost five and won none of their last six matches against this opposition, they are 15/2 (8.50) outsiders with bet365 to raise the spirits with a shock win here.

The Blues bounced back from last weekend’s home defeat against Liverpool with a resounding 6-0 cup win over Barnsley, and are clear 4/11 (1.36) favourites to build on that by coming out on top.

Just three of the last 30 meetings between this pair have resulted in draws but you can get odds of 15/4 (4.75) on this one finishing up all square.

West Brom vs Chelsea team news

Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell could be involved after making their debuts against Barnsley, although Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic and Ben Gilmour are all injured.

Kieran Gibbs is suspended following last weekend’s red card, while Kenneth Zohore is ruled out through injury and Ahmed Hegazy will face a late fitness test.

West Brom vs Chelsea preview

After an unambitious performance against Liverpool, Frank Lampard will have been delighted to see his side rack up six goals in a match that included a hat-trick for record signing Kai Havertz.

They are sure to start on the front foot once again against the Baggies, who have conceded eight goals in just two league matches so far and let in two against Championship opposition on Tuesday.

West Brom vs Chelsea predictions

Indeed, even money (2.00) seems generous on Chelsea coming out on top and over 2.5 goals being scored for their third match in a row versus West Brom.

All odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The hosts have picked up some form after defeat in their first game of the season and we are backing them to score at the Amex Stadium this weekend

Manchester United will be aiming to bounce back from the disappointment of defeat in their opening Premier League game of the season when they visit Brighton on Saturday afternoon.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side were comfortably beaten 3-1 by Crystal Palace at Old Trafford last weekend and while they did manage a 3-0 midweek win over Luton Town in the Carabao Cup, the Reds will be desperate to avoid another poor league performance.

Brighton, for their part, enjoyed a 3-0 success at Newcastle last Sunday, a result which equalled their biggest ever away win in the Premier League.

Brighton vs Manchester United Latest Odds

These two sides met at the Amex Stadium at the end of June with the visitors running out 3-0 winners and another away win is priced at 3/4 (1.75) with bet365.

The Seagulls have won only one of their last 10 home league games and are offered at 15/4 (4.75) with the draw at 13/5 (3.60) .

Brighton vs Manchester United Team News

Graham Potter is unable to call upon the services of midfielder Yves Bissouma after his red card last weekend, while Florin Andone and Jose Izquierdo continue their long respective spells on the sidelines.

The visitors have a relatively clean bill of health with only long-term injury absentees Axel Tuanzebe and Phil Jones missing. 

Brighton vs Manchester United Preview

There is an urgent need for United to improve upon their meek showing last weekend, not least because another defeat could leave them nine points behind the leaders already.

The 3-0 scoreline in midweek was somewhat flattering for Solskjaer’s side with two goals in the last two minutes avoiding what could have been another difficult evening.

Brighton, meanwhile, have won their last three games (two in the Carabao Cup and one in the league) scoring nine goals in the process without conceding, and with United giving up clear goalscoring chances in their two matches this term, there could be some value in backing the hosts to find the back of the net.

The side from the south coast have scored in four of their last five matches against United and given their current strong form in the final third, they will be confident of doing so once more. 

Brighton vs Manchester United Tips And Predictions

The hosts are offered at 1/2 (1.50) to score and at 5/2 (3.50) to score over 1.5 goals.

Perhaps the most appealing option though is backing Brighton to score in the second half at 6/5 (2.20) , which has paid out in all four of their competitive games this season.
