Saturday’s football tips: Aston Villa look good at 6/5 in double chance against Manchester City

Manchester City have made a perfect start to the new Premier League campaign but face another stiff test of their title credentials today at Villa Park.

Aston Villa have found a bit of form after a slow start to the season and will be looking to bring Enzo Maresca's men back down to earth with a bump.

Both sides claimed impressive Champions League wins in midweek so the stage is set for what could be a classic Premier League encounter.

Aston Villa vs Manchester City

I'm surprised to see Manchester City as short as 13/20 with Bet365 for this one, given they have failed to win on their last four visits to Villa Park.

Unai Emery's side are also on a six-game unbeaten run, with wins in their last three, so they look overpriced at 4/1.

I'm going back Aston Villa in the double chance, which looks a great price 6/5 given City's poor recent record at this venue.

This should be an open game with both teams in good form and backing keepers Zion Suzuki and Gianluigi Donnarumma to each make over 2.5 saves pays 29/20 at Bet365.

Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur

Games between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are usually pretty tasty and sparks could fly when they collide at Stamford Bridge tonight.

Spurs moved out of the drop zone with a home win over Coventry on Monday night and seem to be turning a corner under Roberto De Zerbi.

But they now face a Blues side who have won their last two games and look to be clicking into top gear with Xabi Alonso at the helm.

Chelsea look worthy 8/11 favourites but remain a little fragile in defence and will be without keeper Emi Martinez after his painful head injury last weekend. That makes a home win with BTTS appealing at 2/1.

Both meetings last term saw six cards or more and Blues battler Moises Caicedo is 21/10 to go into the book tonight.

Arsenal vs Everton

Arsenal have been in pretty impressive form this season, with 10 wins from 12 games, and should keep their Premier League title defence on track with a home win over Everton today.

Mikel Arteta's side dug deep to claim a 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich in midweek and the Toffees will be hoping that draining game has taken a lot out of them.

The point Arsenal gained certainly came at a cost, with Bukayo Saka picking up a bad injury, but Arteta has a big squad and I'd imagine he will make a few changes for this one.

Bet365 make the Gunners 2/5 hot favourites against an Everton side that looked short of firepower in last week's 2-0 home loss to Chelsea.

But David Moyes will have his men well organised so I fancy an Arsenal win with under 3.5 goals at evens with Bet365.

Jack Grealish is always a magnet for defenders and backing Everton's creative spark to be fouled over 2.5 times will also double your money.
