Manchester City vs. Tottenham: Manchester City To Win
City come into this game as favourites, having finished a whopping 33 points ahead of Spurs last season. Pep Guardiola's side also have only lost four league games at the Etihad in the last three seasons, making the stadium something of a fortress. City also have a superior recent head-to-head record over Spurs, winning three of the last five competitive meetings between the two.
Brentford vs. Aston Villa: Aston Villa To Win & BTTS
Villa come into this game eyeing a win against a very unconvincing Brentford side. There's been major upheaval at Brentford over the summer with Thomas Frank and Bryan Mbeumo both leaving, while Yoane Wissa is also currently unavailable with a potential transfer away from the club pending. They were beaten 3-1 in sorry fashion against Nottingham Forest last weekend, and have failed to beat Aston Villa in any of the last seven meetings between the two teams. They've also failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last nine against Villa, while BTTS has occurred in five of the last six clashes between the two.
Bournemouth vs. Wolves: Both Teams To Score
Wolves' defence is a point of concern this season, with the Midlands club failing to keep a clean sheet in any of their last nine Premier League matches (stretching back into last season). Equally, Bournemouth often find their defence leaking goals when they face off against Wolves, with the Cherries failing to keep a clean sheet in any of their last three head-to-head meetings with Wolves.
Arsenal vs. Leeds: Arsenal To Win
The Gunners take on newly promoted Leeds this weekend and are heavily backed to win. Arsenal have been nearly impenetrable at the Emirates in the league under Mikel Arteta in recent seasons, losing only four home games in the last two campaigns. Even ignoring the fact that this is a newly promoted team facing a likely title contender away from home, Leeds tend to struggle in games against Arsenal, with the Gunners winning all of the last six head-to-head meetings between the two, while also remaining unbeaten against Leeds in 13.
Crystal Palace vs. Nottingham Forest: Both Teams To Score
Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest have seen BTTS occur in three of the last five head-to-head meetings between the two, while three of each team's last five league games have also seen both sides find the back of the net.
Everton vs. Brighton: Everton To Win & BTTS
The Toffees looked concerningly poor in their season opener at Elland Road, losing the game 1-0 in a game where they were penned in their own half for large periods by a newly promoted side. Brighton, however, were unlucky to concede a last minute equaliser at home to Fulham last weekend, but they still come into this game on a ten-match unbeaten run in the Premier League. As far as BTTS is concerned, five of the league seven head-to-head meetings have seen both teams score.
Fulham vs. Manchester United: Manchester United To Win
Despite losing to Arsenal, Manchester United looked a much improved outfit on the opening day of the season. Fulham, however, weren't overly convincing away at Brighton, and manager Marco Silva appears to be growing frustrated at the club's lack of signings. Man United have a very strong head-to-head record against Fulham, winning six of the last eight meetings between the two sides, while also going unbeaten at Craven Cottage since 2009.
Newcastle vs. Liverpool: Liverpool To Win
Liverpool are coming off the back of a 4-2 win over Bournemouth as they look to pick up momentum in their title challenge. The Reds have an excellent record against Newcastle, winning three of the last five head-to-head meetings. Liverpool also haven't lost at St. James' Park since 2015, which was also the last time Newcastle beat Liverpool in the league, winning four and drawing one of their last five trips to Newcastle.
