In the first matchday we have some surprises but also some obvious results. Yeah, I'm talking about Liverpool and Manchester City here. Let's see what we have this week.
Arsenal vs Burnley
Arsenal started well with a clean sheet win against Newcastle which is a nice change compared to the last season. At home they are very strong and even though Burnley destroyed Southampton 3-0 I don't see them doing well in this match.
My Bet: Arsenal -1.5 @2.040
Everton vs Watford
Everton failed to win the first game while the visitors were humiliated by Brighton. In this one I expect the response from both sides. I have some doubts about Watford being able to do it, though.
My Bet: Everton -1 @2.410
Brighton vs West Ham
West Ham, West Ham... to be fair, Manchester City is in another league completely and we didn't see what West Ham can do against the regular EPL clubs yet. Brighton started well and I think they can do the job here.
My Bet: Brighton @2.580
Norwich vs Newcastle
Norwich were destroyed in Liverpool in the first half, but they did find some focus in the second half and showed us that they are capable of playing some solid football. I think they've got what it takes to do the job here.
My Bet: Norwich @2.250
Aston Villa vs Bournemouth
The home side showed against Tottenham that they are here to stay while Bournemouth were rather impotent against the newly promoted Sheffield Utd.
My Bet: Aston Villa @2.320
Southampton vs Liverpool
Liverpool will win it's just the question by what margin. Southampton proved useless and got humiliated by Burnley. Perhaps, if they were to play against a weaker side they might bounce back but against this Liverpool it's just another trashing.
My Bet: Liverpool -1.5 @2.360
Manchester City vs Tottenham
While I do respect (or fear) Tottenham, this one should be a routine win for the home side.
My Bet: Manchester City -1.5 @2.040
Sheffield United vs Crystal Palace
The home side didn't embarrass themselves in the first match but I have a suspicion that Crystal Palace will repeat the last season's pattern - fail at home get the points away.
My Bet: Crystal Palace +0 @2.110
Chelsea vs Leicester
Chelsea looked good for a while in that match against Manchester United, but they went home with their tails between their legs. Leicester didn't impress at all so this one is hard to call.
My Bet: Leicester +0.5 @2.230
Wolves vs Manchester United
The visitors will be flying after the great win at home but I think this will be the upset of the matchday.
My Bet: Wolves +0 @2.410
