There are 6 English Premier League matches taking place on Saturday and we suggest a bet in each of them.

First a quick look at the latest Outright Betting where Manchester City are trading as 9/20 favourites to defend their Title.

Sheffield United v Everton – Click here to bet

Sheffield United have lost all 3 of their matches since returning to the top flight although last time out they did give a decent account of themselves going down 2-1 at home to Manchester City.

Everton are bottom of the table having also lost all 3 of their matches and they have still to score a goal.  Last time out they lost 1-0 at home to Wolves.

As much as both sides will want to win I think they must be desperate not to lose and I am taking the draw here.

Suggested Bet:  The draw at 9/4

 

Brentford v Bournemouth – Click here to bet

Brentford are 9th on the log with 2 draws and a victory in their opening 3 games.  They were held 1-1 at home by Crystal Palace last time out.

Bournemouth are 16th on the log with just 1 point from their opening 3 matches and in their last game they were beaten 2-0 at home by Tottenham.

Brentford won this fixture 2-0 last season and I am expecting them to bag their first home win in front of their own fans.

Suggested Bet:  Brentford win at 15/20

Burnley v Tottenham – Click here to bet

Burnley have lost both of their opening matches, last time out going down 3-1 at home to Aston Villa and in their opening game 3-0 at home to Manchester City.

Tottenham are 3rd on the log with 7 points out of a possible 9 and they are coming off back-to-back victories 2-0 away at Bournemouth and 2-0 at home to Manchester United.

Tottenham are 9/10 to win the game and based on what I have seen of these sides this season this looks a cracking bet.

Suggested Bet:  Tottenham win at 9/10

 

Chelsea v Nottingham Forest – Click here to bet

Chelsea are 10th on the log with 4 points from their opening 3 games.  They got their first win of the season last time out when they beat Luton 3-0 at home.

Nottingham are currently 14th on the log with 3 points out of a possible 9 and they were beaten 3-2 away at Manchester United last time out.

Chelsea are short for this game at 4/10 and I expect them to take advantage of a leaking Nottingham defence.

Suggested Bet:  Chelsea, Total Goals over 2.5 at 29/20

 

Manchester City v Fulham –Click here to bet

Manchester City have 9 points from a possible 9 and in their only home game this season they beat Newcastle 1-0.  Last time out they beat Sheffield United 2-1 on the road.

Fulham are 12th on the log with 4 points from a possible 9 and they drew 2-2 at Arsenal last time out, a game where the draw was priced at almost 5/1.  Their other game came in Week 1 when they beat Everton 1-0.

Manchester City only edged this fixture 2-1 last season, but I am expecting a comfortable win here.

Suggested Bet:  Handicap, Manchester City -2.5 goals at 5/4

 

Brighton v Newcastle – Click here to bet

Brighton have 6 points from their opening 3 matches, but after a strong start to the season they were shocked last time out losing 3-1 at home to West Ham, a game where they started 5/10 favourites.

Newcastle opened their campaign with a 5-1 home win over Villa, but subsequently lost to Manchester City away and Liverpool at home and they are under pressure to get 3 points here.

The last two head-to-head’s hosted by Brighton have finished level and I think we could be heading for another draw here.

Suggested Bet:  The draw at 28/10
