Everything kicks off on Friday August 9th when Liverpool take on Norwich ahead of Saturday’s action. The Reds come into the match up as the distinct favourites with a price of around ⅙ being floated by the bookmakers. Their opponents are a hefty 22/1 price tag to get the victory while the draw sits around a 38/5 margin.
Manchester City face off against West Ham in the opener on Saturday and Pep Guardiola’s men come into the contest as significant favourites. The bookmakers have them trading around a 2/7 price so it looks by no means a sure thing, though they are still the heavy favourites.
The Hammers can be backed at a 12/1 price for the win.
Tottenham play host to Aston Villa in the last game on Saturday and Spurs can be backed around a 3/10 price tag for the outright victory while the Midlands club can be backed at 13/1 for the win. The draw trades around 19/4.
On Sunday, punters will find Arsenal away to Newcastle in a contest that really could go either way. The bookmakers have Arsenal trading as the even money favourites despite being the away side and Newcastle are available around 17/5.
In the final contest of the weekend, Manchester United play Chelsea in a grand slam contest that sees United come into the match with a slim edge 6/5 favourites against Chelsea’s 13/5.
