English Premier League Saturday Preview PT 2
- By A.J. Ryder on September 18, 2020 15:14 GMTPicking up points against other bottom half teams is going to be the priority for the Cottagers all season and even eeking out a draw here would put them in a good spot going forward. Leeds are priced around a ⅗ listing for the outright win while Fulham can be backed around 5/1 with the draw sitting at 3/1.

Manchester United begin their season against Crystal Palace and you can’t expect this one to be an easy victory for Solksjaer’s men and very few would be surprised if they wound up dropping points in some capacity. United have failed to bring in any blockbuster signings so far this summer with Van De Beek being the only really notable arrival.
There are still question marks over whether he’s actually going to play or not and a midfield with him, Pogba and Fernandes might not have the balance necessary to contain a side like Crystal Palace.
That being said, Manchester United come into the match up as the distinct favourites and you’ll find them trading anywhere from ¼ up to ⅓ with several major bookmakers. Palace exceeded expectations last season and they come into this one priced around 19/2 for the win.
A London derby caps things off on Saturday with Arsenal playing host to West Ham and it seems as though confidence is high this season at the Emirates and Mikel Arteta’s men are coming into this one with big expectations for the victory. They are priced around ½ with several top bookmakers and they will likely come at West Ham right from the get-go.
The Hammers are an 11/2 shout and they will be looking to pick up a big scalp early in the season. This one really could come down to who actually winds up scoring the first goal.
