Arsenal strolled it in their Premier League opener but should face a stiffer test tonight as they travel to Birmingham to face Aston Villa.
The champions eased to a 3-0 win against Coventry City as they kicked off their title defence and also beat Manchester City by the same score in the Community Shield.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, crashed 4-0 at Brighton last weekend after losing 2-1 to PSG in the UEFA Super Cup but Unai Emery will be demanding a response back on home turf.
Aston Villa vs Arsenal top betting tips
Villa have responded to their Brighton battering by making some overdue reinforcements, landing Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson and Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka.
That should make them more competitive against the Gunners but Bet365 still make Mikel Arteta's side 1/2 hot favourites tonight.
That's probably because Villa defended so poorly at Brighton, with Ezri Konsa's departure for Arsenal making them noticeably weaker at the back.
They're even shorter of bodies in midfield and Goretzka should be thrown in for a debut with Joao Gomes suspended.
It's a baptism of fire for the German and he will need Boubacar Kamara to help him out. The Frenchman should anchor Villa's midfield and looks good at 6/4 for over 1.5 fouls.
Jackson should be thrown in up front for a debut and he also looks good value at evens with Bet365 just to have an effort on target.
Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano
Barcelona have flown out the traps in La Liga and should make it three wins from three when they host Rayo Vallecano tonight.
The champions romped to a 5-0 victory at Elche in their opener then followed it up with a 2-0 Nou Camp win over Athletic Bilbao.
Hansi Flick's side are looking pretty formidable already and now face a Rayo Vallecano who have banked just a point from their first two fixtures.
Bet365 make last season's Conference League finalists 14/1 outsiders in Catalonia, with Barca 1/7 jollies.
At those prices it's hard finding value so it's best looking to the player market for your bets tonight.
Anthony Gordon chipped in with two assists on his Barcelona debut against Elche and the former Newcastle winger is 7/4 to set up another goal tonight.
Lecce vs Roma
Roma are another team who made a flying start in their first game of the season, thrashing Fiorentina 4-0 in Serie A.
They now travel to Lecce looking to build on that thumping win and Bet365 make them 12/25 hot favourites away from home.
Lecce lost 2-0 to Palermo in the Italian Cup to start their campaign on a downer but responded with an excellent 2-0 win away to Venezia in Serie A.
They had a poor record against Roma last term, losing both games to nil, and combining the away win with a clean sheet tonight pays 6/5 at Bet365.
Donyell Malen was Roma's hero last Monday as he scored a hat-trick in that rout of Fiorentina. The Dutchman's tail will be up and he's 5/6 for another goal tonight.
