Premier League Matchday 3: Best Betting Football Tips
Manchester City vs. Arsenal: EPL Betting Tip
On Saturday afternoon, champions Man City host struggling Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium. The Citizens will be hoping to build on last weekend’s handsome victory over Norwich City, while the Gunners look for their first Premier League point.
Man City lost the FA Community Shield game and were beaten at Tottenham on the opening weekend of the new league season, so a big home victory in the Premier League was just what the doctor ordered at the Etihad. City ran riot against Norwich, with Jack Grealish and Raheem Sterling among the scorers in the 5-0 romp.
Arsenal have kicked off their Premier League season with defeats to Brentford and Chelsea. Only Norwich are below the Gunners in the table after two games played. However, Mikel Arteta’s men did restore some pride with a thumping 6-0 win over West Bromwich Albion in the EFL Cup in midweek.
Man City will be targeting all three points from this one, and Pep Guardiola’s men should heap more misery on Arteta & Co. with a comfortable home victory. Take a punt on City to win both halves at 31/20.

Liverpool vs. Chelsea: Best Premier League Betting Predictions
The standout fixture of the Premier League weekend takes place on Saturday night when Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool host Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea. The pair have identical records so far after 3-0 and 2-0 wins, and this could go either way. However, the home team are the slight favourites with the bookies.
Liverpool kicked off their season with a 3-0 away win at Norwich, which they followed up with a comfortable 2-0 home victory over Burnley. Saturday’s clash with the reigning European champions will be toughest challenge yet, though.
Chelsea were dominant against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium last weekend, with the returning Romelu Lukaku opening the scoring. Reece James doubled the Blues’ advantage before half time. Chelsea kicked off their league season with a 3-0 home win over Crystal Palace after winning the UEFA Super Cup.
These two will be hoping to battle Man City for the Premier League title this term, so both would love maximum points from this early-season encounter. However, we fancy the pair to play out an entertaining draw. The stalemate and both teams to score is available at 10/3.
Liverpool 6/4

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Watford: EPL Betting Odds & Predictions
Nuno Espirito Santo’s Tottenham take on Xisco Munoz’s Watford at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. After starting with three wins from four league and cup games, Nuno should guide Spurs to another victory this weekend.
Now Harry Kane is staying at Tottenham, the Lilywhites can now focus on matters on the pitch. They have made a strong start in the Premier League and have booked their place in the inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League group stage. In the league, Spurs have started with back-to-back 1-0 wins over Man City and Wolves.
Watford lasted one year in the Championship, finishing runners-up to Norwich last term. The Hornets started life back in the Premier League with an excellent home win over Aston Villa. However, they were beaten 2-0 at Brighton & Hove in game two.
On paper, this should be a comfortable win for Tottenham. Watford will no doubt have a go, but Spurs should make home advantage count and maintain their 100% Premier League winning record. Put some money on Tottenham to win to nil again at 5/4.
Tottenham Hotspur 21/50

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Manchester United: Best EPL Betting Tips on Matchday 3
The final Premier League matchup of the weekend will see Bruno Lage’s Wolves entertain Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Man United at Molineux on Sunday afternoon. Wolves have suffered two league defeats so far, while United have taken four points from a possible six.
Lage started life in the Midlands with a 1-0 defeat to Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. They followed that up with a 1-0 home loss to Nuno’s Tottenham. However, Wanderers picked up a 4-0 win at Nottingham Forest in the EFL Cup on Tuesday, which was only their second victory since April.
Man United’s season began with a memorable 5-1 home win over rivals Leeds United at Old Trafford. However, the Red Devils failed to build on that, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Ralph Hasenhuttl’s Southampton at St Mary’s last weekend.
Wolves have started with two narrow losses, but we can see Lage’s troops picking up a point in this one. You can get the top odds of 27/5 for Man United to draw 1-1 for a second successive game.
Wolverhampton Wanderers 4/1
