I'VE tipped Man City for the title and they should start with a win at promoted Brighton tonight.
They are just 1-3 with William Hill and I’m happy to take City -1 at 10-11 with betfair. For a value first-scorer bet Leroy Sane is 7-1 at Paddy Power.
Champions face Burnley at home and are 1-4 at William Hill. Antonio Conte is unhappy with his transfer dealings and will of course be without Eden Hazard and Diego Costa.
For a first-scorer take a chance on new boy Alvaro Morata to get his career off to a flier at 4-1 (Paddy Power).
Liverpool travel to a Watford side who could struggle but are just 4-7 with McBookie. The Phillippe Coutinho situation is unsettling and while they should win I'm not interested at that price.
Southampton can also start with a win against a Swansea side who will be without £50m-rated Gylfi Sigurdsson as he prepared for a likely move to Liverpool. Saints are 8-13 with most firms.
It’s tough picking winners from the English lower leagues at this stage of the season but Bristol City stood out last week as they beat Barnsley 3-1 then followed up with a 5-0 thumping of Plymouth in the League Cup.
They head to a Birmingham side who were poor at Ipswich last week and are worth a look at 2-1 with bet365.
