There is nothing like flying out of the gate with a nice acca win on the opening weekend of a new Premier League season. Teams are fresh and plenty of money has been splashed out over the summer transfer market and the excitement levels, expectation and optimism are through the roof. Not too surprisingly there are some heavy odds-on favourites at bet365 across some of the matches and Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool, Spurs and Man Utd are all under even money to win their respective opening fixtures.
Arsenal are favourites to land a home win over Leicester on Friday night, the opening game of the new Premier League season. They have won their last ten on the bounce on home soil against the Foxes, so it’s easy to see why they have gained strong support in this one. Plus they have Alexandre Lacazaette and the hotshot has been trimmed this week to win the Premier League Golden Boot. With the Foxes struggling so badly on the road last season, this could be a good opener for the Gunners.
Chelsea, who are the reigning champions will be happy enough with their home fixture against Burnley. The Clarets have seen key players depart the club in the summer like Andre Gray and there hasn’t been anything going back the other way, so the Blues should find themselves comfortable in his one and perhaps it will be a fine old day for Alvaro Morata to open his Premier League account after his move from Real Madrid. Chelsea are 1/4 odds on to win this one.
Manchester City, with all their big summer signings, head off to the south coast late on Saturday evening to take on Brighton. The newly promoted Seagulls would have liked an easier introduction into the Premier League no doubt, but they have a tough game here. Manchester City are 17/10 outright favourites to win the Premier League at Bet365 and they are odds on at 4/11 to go and beat the Seagulls. Manchester City looks far stronger starting this season than they did last term.
Tottenham doesn’t seem to be slightly bothered about not having matched their title rivals in spending over the summer. They appear to be happy with their stock and they head out on the road on the opening weekend to face the newly promoted Newcastle. This is a tough game for the Magpies against a Spurs side who can destroy teams when they hit the ground running.
Then Manchester United and Liverpool are the other odds-on favourites for this weekend’s opening action, but they perhaps both look a little more vulnerable. Liverpool have won four of their last nine away games in the top flight and have a tough opener at Vicarage Road against Watford. The Hornets appear to have sharpened up very well over the summer under new boss Marco Silva and should be very competitive.
Manchester United have won just one of their last four at Old Trafford against West Ham, who they entertain on Sunday in the final game of the first weekend. The Hammers have brought in Javier Hernandez and Marko Arnautovic to boost their attack too, so they may be able to heap a bit of pressure on the Red Devils.
