The Premier League gets back underway tonight and all eyes will be on Old Trafford to see how Manchester United are shaping up when they take on Fulham.
One of the club's worst league campaigns for decades heaped pressure on Erik ten Hag last term but he managed to survive after leading United to FA Cup glory, beating champions Manchester City in the showpiece.
The Dutchman has been backed heavily once again in the transfer market and looks to have made some shrewd signings so I'm expecting Manchester United to have a much better season in the Premier League.
A good start at home to Fulham is essential but the Cottagers look in pretty good shape under Marco Silva and will provide a good test on day one.
Silva has also made some decent signings this summer and has the firepower to test United's defence.

Manchester United v Fulham top betting tips
Manchester United played well in the Community Shield last weekend and would have beaten City at Wembley again had Bernardo Silva not headed a late leveller.
Betfred make Ten Hag's side 4/7 hot favourites tonight with home advantage but if you back them to be winning at half-time and full-time the odds increase to 13/10.
Bruno Fernandes is usually the most reliable player in the Manchester United squad when it comes to goals so the skipper could be worth a punt for anytime scorer tonight at 13/8.
Fulham should carry a threat and I like the 6/5 available at Bet365 for midfielder Alex Iwobi to have a shot on target.
Coventry City v Oxford United top tips
There's a game in the Championship tonight as well and promoted Oxford United are looking to continue their flying start away to Coventry City.
Des Buckingham's side have started with successive 2-0 wins against Norwich and Peterborough in the League and Carabao Cup but Betfred make them 18/5 outsiders for this one.
Coventry lost at Stoke in their opener but bounced back by beating Bristol City in the Carabao Cup. They also hammered Oxford 6-2 in the FA Cup last term so it's easy to see why they're 3/5 favourites.
Backing a Coventry win with over 1.5 goals could pay off at 19/20 with Betfred and the odds increase to 7/5 if you add on another goal.
Oxford will try to knock the Sky Blues out of their stride so backing United at -1 in the card handicap also appeals at 9/4 with Bet365.
Las Palmas v Sevilla top tips
La Liga got back underway last night and the pick of today's two games sees Sevilla head to Las Palmas.
There's a bit of spice to this clash as Las Palmas gaffer Garcia Pimienta left in the summer to take the reins in Sevilla.
He will desperate to get off to a winning start at his new club and the away win looks worth a punt at 6/4.
Both teams had a big turnover of players and Oli McBurnie was one of the new arrivals at Las Palmas.
The Scot's physical style might not go down well with Spanish refs so backing him for a card could pay off at 9/4 with Bet365.

Fancy a corner each team each half in the Chinese a super league this lunchtime. Plenty high corner counts I’ve noticed. Four matches pays around 4/1 with Skybet, who bizzarely are always best odds for this market ive found – a rarity in itself!
Also going to have a punt on all games hitting 10 corners at around 8/1 with bet365. Won’t be far off I reckon, surprised at the odds.

Hope everyone is well. Been a while as I’m mostly on antepost bets nowadays as there’s always great value to be had. I’m a Gunners fan & I’m obviously biased so bear that in mind. City are always the team to beat but I honestly see us winning the league this year. We have the best defense & its now even stronger with Calafiori. Merino looks like he’s on his way too. Don’t think we’ll sign a striker which is a concern but we may get a goalscoring winger at least which will do. Liverpool have looked good pre-season but Zubimendi rejecting them was a massive blow! New coach as well so they may well struggle.
Got us to win the league at 3.25 a few weeks back. I see it’s down to 2.62 now so the bookies know whats up!
Other Premier League tips:
Main bet: David Raya Golden Glove (3.00)
NB: Double: Havertz more goals than Fullkrug & Palmer more goals than Foden (2.05)
Liverpool not to finish in top 4 (2.50). Saka more goals than Son (Evens). Ipswich not to get relegated (Evens). Newcastle to finish higher than Spuds (Evens). Newcastle to finish higher than Chelsea (1.9). Martinelli 10 or more goals (2.25).
Palace to finish higher than Brighton (2.20). Villa to finish higher than Spuds (2.25). Arsenal over 83 points (2.05). Odegaard 10 or more assist (1.90).
Longshots
Havertz top Arsenal scorer (3.50). Salah most assists (11.00). Newcastle highest scoring team this weekend (6.50)
UFC 305
Main bet: Dricus Du Plessis to win (Evens). Guy just made Izzy cry at the presser. 2nd champ he’s put in tears before the fight has even started. Not a good look for Izzy who looks overly emotional. I reckon Dricus will ragdoll him and his forward pressure will be too much……and still!
Treble: Song, Jenkins & Nolan all to win (1.86) Double: Culibao & Prates to win (2.08)
All with bet365. Enjoy the season!
