The Sky Bet Boosted Tips for the Premier League - Gameweek 3

Manchester United come into this fixture after an appalling performance against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford last weekend, which saw Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men lose 3-1. This was the third time in which the Red Devils have failed to win their opening home game in the Premier League, with the last result coming to Swansea in the 2014/15 season.

On the other hand, Brighton & Hove Albion have started well in the Premier League this season. In their two league matches thus far, Graham Potter’s men have won one and lost one, with the defeat coming against Chelsea on the opening day and an impressive win over Newcastle United a week later.

In the Palace fixture, Bruno Fernandes took three shots, with only one finding the target and so far, the Portuguese has registered a shot on target every 68 minutes for United.

Since signing in January, Fernandes has scored three times from long range for the club, and each time he plays, there is a serious chance of him doing so for a fourth time. Now, with Solskjaer’s men needing an improved performance this match, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Fernandes found the net, and we are tipping his boosted odds of 9/1 odds to score from outside the area.

Two of the more unlikely teams to have had impressive starts to the season are Palace and Everton, who both have won their opening two games in the league. Both of the managers have beaten respectable opponents, with Roy Hodgson defeating United at Old Trafford, and Carlo Ancelotti starting the season off strong with a win over Tottenham Hotspur in London.

Wilfred Zaha has found his form of old it seems, after a poor 2019/20 where he totalled only four league goals in 38 matches. So far, the winger has scored three goals including a brace in his last match against United.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is a man in inspired form, scoring four goals in his last two games for the club, including his first career hat-trick in the fixture against West Bromwich Albion. The Englishman's form has been essential in Everton registering their first back-to-back victories at the start of a Premier League campaign since 2012/13 season.

With both strikers hoping to continue their goalscoring form in the league, we’ve tipped Zaha and Calvert-Lewin both to score at 14/1 odds - click here to claim this bet in your bet slip.

Chelsea come into this fixture against West Brom after suffering a 2-0 defeat at home to the champions Liverpool in the Premier League. For the first half of the game, it was very even until defender, Andreas Christensen, was sent off for a challenge on Sadio Mane.

Despite not registering a goal in the Premier League for Chelsea, Timo Werner will soon want to amend this and open his scoring tally. The German striker finished last season with 34 goals and 13 assists in all competitions for RB Leipzig. One reason for his impressive tally can be put down to his blistering pace which has branded him the nickname ‘Turbo Timo’.

Looking towards the clash between West Brom and Chelsea at the Hawthorns, we have gone with Werner to score first and open up his Premier League account

Ahead of this fixture in the Championship this season, Bournemouth and Norwich City come into this game on four points, both winning their first match and drawing the second. The two sides were recently relegated from the Premier League, with the Canaries finishing the campaign in rock bottom.

Since their relegation, Daniel Farke has done extremely well, keeping all of his star players except for Jamal Lewis, who moved to Newcastle. As well as this, Norwich have managed to keep many of their staff too which means that their squad is almost identical to the side that won the league in the 2018/19 campaign.

Bournemouth on the other hand, have lost many of their major players such as Nathan Ake, Aaron Ramsdale, Callum Wilson and Ryan Fraser, who all have made moves back to the Premier League. As well as this, they lost their star manager, Eddie Howe, who had done remarkably well for the club earning them promotion in 2015, as well as a ninth position finish in the 2016/17 Premier League.

With this fixture being extremely close on paper, we have backed a Norwich City win over Bournemouth with BTTS at a current odds of 11/2 - click here to get this one.

On Saturday, Watford will host Luton Town in the Championship four days after Vladimir Ivic’s men suffered a shocking 3-1 defeat to League Two side, Newport County, in the Carabao Cup in midweek.

Luton, on the other hand, have performed very well, beating both Derby County and Barnsley to see themselves third in the table.

One of the main reasons for Watford’s poor start is due to the lack of goals scored, with a total of two in three games. This can be put down to the absence of club star striker, Troy Deeney, and record-signing, Ismaila Sarr. However, both of these players have been confirmed available by the Hornets for the upcoming fixture, we could see the end of this rut.

Although, Luton did play well relatively well against United, keeping them quiet for much of the game, the introduction of Mason Greenwood in the final 10 minutes saw them eventually lose 3-0, with two goal contributions from him.

This fixture could go either way, however, we have backed Watford to win over Luton Town with BTTS at current odds of 7/2 - click to claim this bet.
