Xabi Alonso gets his Chelsea reign up and running tonight and it will be fascinating to see how the Blues fare in their West London derby with Fulham.
It has been another summer of change at Stamford Bridge but plenty of pundits are tipping Alonso's side for big things in the Premier League as they don't have the distraction of Europe.
A win in their opener would be a statement of intent but Alonso must outsmart his former Real Madrid team-mate Alvaro Arbeloa, who has taken over from long-serving boss Marco Silva at Fulham.
Fulham vs Chelsea top betting tips
Fulham are being talked about as a team who get could dragged into the relegation battle this season after losing both Silva and last season's star player Harry Wilson.
A lot will depend on how Arbeloa's two recruits from Real Madrid, Gonzalo Garcia and Cesar Palacios, adapt to English football but this is a tricky opener for the Cottagers.
Chelsea have added some smart summer signings, most notably Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers, to a squad already bursting with talent and Bet365 make them 17/20 favourites tonight.
That price is tempting and you can boost the odds to 11/10 by adding on over 1.5 goals.
Star striker Joao Pedro gave the Blues a boost in the build-up by signing a new deal and has impressed in pre-season, netting seven times. The Brazilian looks good at 7/5 for another goal tonight.
Bologna vs Lazio
Bologna and Lazio both had disappointing Serie A campaigns last term so they'll be hoping a win tonight will spark a more successful season.
These sides finished just outside the European places, with Bologna ending up in eighth and Lazio just two points behind them in ninth.
Lazio have turned to former Italy boss Gennaro Gattuso this summer in a bid to turn their fortunes around while Bologna have drafted in former Belgium and Fenerbahce gaffer Domenico Tedesco.
With both managers still getting their ideas across, this is a tough one to call and the half-time draw might be the best shout at 21/20.
Artem Dovbyk is one of Bologna's summer signings and the towering Ukraine striker is always a nuisance. He's 5/4 for a goal or an assist and that could be worth a punt.
Roma vs Fiorentina
Fiorentina are another Italian giant who flopped last season and they have a tough Serie A opener tonight with a trip to Roma.
La Viola faced a battle against the drop last term but eventually pulled clear and finished eight points above the drop zone in 15th place.
Roma had a much better campaign, finishing third to book a Champions League slot, and will be looking to push on under talented coach Gian Piero Gasperini.
Fiorentina unsurprisingly changed coaches this summer and former World Cup winner Fabio Grosso is now at the helm.
It's hard to see them beating a settled Roma side tonight and the home win is priced at just 8/13 by Bet365.
Gasperini's side won both meetings last season and breezed to a 4-0 win in the capital back in May so I'm going to combine a Roma win with over 1.5 goals at 20/21 with Bet365.
Roma should have most of the pressure and I like the 2/1 on offer at Bet365 for Fiorentina -1 in the card handicap.
Super singles
- Joao Pedro anytime scorer 7/5 Bet365
- Artem Dovbyk goal or assist 5/4 Bet365
- Roma win and over 1.5 goals 20/21 Bet365
