Last season, Erling Haaland and Marcus Rashford were in red-hot form for their clubs, as the former finished with 36 league goals in 35 appearances for Manchester City, averaging 1.17 goals per game on his way to winning the Premier League Golden Boot. The Cityzens go up against Burnley (a), Newcastle (h) and Sheffield United (a) in their first three league matches.
Meanwhile, Rashford was pivotal for Manchester United, as the England international went on to score 17 in 35 matches as the Red Devils secured a third-place finish in Erik ten Hag’s first season at the club. The Red Devils take on Wolves (h), Tottenham (a) and Nottingham Forest (h) in their first three games of the 2023/24 season.
Kevin De Bruyne has consistently been one of the best performers in the Premier League ever since the Belgium international joined City from Wolfsburg back in the summer of 2015.
The 32-year-old managed a total of 28 assists in 49 matches across all competitions for Pep Guardiola’s side last season and will fancy his chances of creating an assist against the likes of Burnley (a), Newcastle (h) and Sheffield United (a).
Mohamed Salah has a stunning Premier League record since joining Liverpool, having managed to score 137 times in the league since joining the Reds back in the summer of 2017 from AS Roma.
The 31-year-old Egyptian is known for performing in big matches which is something he will have to do once again if he is to score in all of Liverpool’s first three Premier League matches as they face Chelsea (a), Bournemouth (h) and Newcastle (a).
As mentioned above, Rashford was pivotal to United’s progress last season, having gone on to score 30 goals across all competitions in the 2022/23 season. The 25-year-old will be expected to perform well against the likes of Wolves (h), Tottenham (a) and Nottingham Forest (h).
Meanwhile, Gabriel Jesus finished on 11 goals and seven assists in 33 appearances for Arsenal in what was an injury-hit first season at the Emirates Stadium. The Brazilian will be hopeful of a bright start to the season when the Gunners face off against Nottingham Forest (h), Crystal Palace (a) and Fulham (h) in their first three Premier League matches.
The final August Premier League RequestABet involves Haaland and Harry Kane, with these two strikers finishing at the top of the goalscoring charts last season with a combined 66 goals between them.
Haaland will be expected to score a hatful of goals in his opening three matches, as City take on two newly-promoted sides in Burnley (a) and Sheffield United (a) on either side of a potentially tricky test against Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium.
Kane will be hopeful that Ange Postecoglou’s positive style of football can bring the best out of the Lilywhites' attacking quality. Spurs face Brentford (a), Manchester United (h) and AFC Bournemouth (a) in their first three matches of the 2023/24 season.
