Tottenham Hotspur have made a stuttering start to the season and they might be too short to win this London derby against Brentford. William Hill have 8/15 that Spurs bounce back from the Arsenal defeat with a win, although the Bees looked dangerous at Manchester City and Coral offer 9/2 that Thomas Frank’s side get a maximum haul.
None of the promoted teams have claimed a victory yet, although two of them meet at St Mary’s on Saturday and it’s Southampton who are favourites to win. The Saints are a 5/4 chance with Ladbrokes to record a victory against an Ipswich side who have drawn their last two games. The Tractor Boys are a 23/10 chance with bet365 to boost their survival hopes with a win.
Newcastle United sit pretty after landing ten points from their opening four matches, with the Magpies slight favourites at 11/8 with William Hill to leave Craven Cottage with a maximum haul. Fulham will fancy their chances after nearly beating West Ham and bet365 offer an attractive 2/1 that Marco Silva’s side claim a victory. BTTS Yes is available at 8/15 which looks like a good acca pick.
Aston Villa enjoyed a spectacular comeback against Everton and they’re warm favourites to claim a maximum haul against Wolves. The Villans are a 4/7 chance with Coral to seal the deal against a Wanderers side struggling for points right now. The visitors would gladly take a draw which can be backed at 16/5 with bet365 and the away win is on offer at 4/1 with Betfred.
Leicester City nearly won at Selhurst Park last weekend and the Foxes are slight favourites at 11/8 with Coral to have the edge over Everton. The Toffees have thrown away consecutive two-goal leads, although perhaps they’ll get things right at the King Power Stadium and 15/8 with Ladbrokes looks an attractive price. This definitely looks like a BTTS Yes game and William Hill have 4/6 available.
Liverpool were dealt an unexpected blow when losing at home to Nottingham Forest, although the bookies make them red-hot favourites to bounce back with a win against Bournemouth. Boylesports have 1/4 that Arne Slot’s team win and there’s 4/5 with the same firm to lead at half-time and full-time. You can get 29/20 that the Reds win and both teams find the net.
Live on Sky Sports: Saturday 17:30. Crystal Palace v Man United. Crystal Palace are yet to win a game this season, although the Eagles might achieve lift-off against Manchester United.

However, Erik ten Hag’s team are 11/8 with Betfred for the win.
You can back the draw at 11/4 with bet365, with a 1-1 draw trading at 7/1 with the same firm. There is 6/1 available with Boylesports that Jean-Philippe Mateta opens the scoring and the Frenchman was able to score twice against Leicester last weekend.

They are 7/2 with Betfred to win at the AMEX.
The draw is a 29/10 chance with Ladbrokes and that could be a viable option, with William Hill offering an attractive 21/20 that there are Under 2.5 Goals. There is 8/1 with the same firm that Brighton are able to land a 1-0 victory in front of their own fans.
Live on Sky Sports: Sunday 16:30. Man City v Arsenal. Manchester City boast a 100% Premier League record going into Sunday’s crunch clash against Arsenal, with Pep Guardiola’s side trading at 8/11 with Betfred to overcome the Gunners and kick clear at the top of the table. However, the visitors are looking robust and you can get 13/5 with bet365 that the game ends all square.
Mikel Arteta’s side are 7/2 with Ladbrokes to leapfrog their title rivals by landing a victory and they could keep things tight, with bet365 offering 10/11 that there are Under 2.5 Goals. Boylesports have 15/4 that the game is level at the break before the home side get the victory.
