Brighton and Hove Albion have made a great start under new boss Fabian Hurzeler but today's trip to Arsenal is the ultimate test of their progress under the young German.
The Gunners have also won both their Premier League games so far and last week's 2-0 victory at Aston Villa was a major statement of intent as they look to mount another title bid.
Mikel Arteta has turned Arsenal into a mean machine, particularly at home, so it will be interesting to see how Hurzeler approaches this game tactically.
If he sets up to attack it could be a thriller for the fans but the bookies don't fancy Brighton's chances with Betfred pricing them at 7/1.

Arsenal vs Brighton and Hove Albion top betting tips
Arsenal have kept clean sheets in both their games so far but Brighton have been scoring freely so BTTS is just 4/5 with Betfred. If you combine that with over 2.5 goals the odds increase to a decent 11/10.
Joao Pedro is always a threat for the Seagulls and the evens on offer at Betfred for the Brazilian to have one or more shots on target looks well worth a punt.
Neither team is renowned for putting the boot in so backing under 37.5 booking points could also pay off at 11/10.
West Ham United vs Manchester City top tips
Champions Manchester City have made an ominous start for their Premier League rivals, with a 2-0 win at Chelsea followed by a 4-1 rout of Ipswich.
Tonight's trip to West Ham should be a tough test, though, with the Hammers boasting plenty of quality in attack.
Guardiola's defence always gives the opposition a few sights of goal so I like the 11/8 available for Mohamed Kudus to have one or more shots on target.
Julen Lopetegui isn't the kind of manager who parks the bus so it should be a decent watch. Over 3.5 goals pays 11/10 with Betfred while over 1.5 first-half strikes is the same price at Bet365.
Burnley vs Blackburn Rovers top betting tips
The big game in the EFL Championship today sees Blackburn Rovers head to Turf Moor for the East Lancashire derby with Burnley.
Rovers have made a flying start to the campaign and sit third after collecting seven points from their first three games but they are 3/1 outsiders today.
That's because the Clarets have also been looking pretty slick under new boss Scott Parker, with two wins and a defeat so far in the league.
The half-time draw is always a good option in a derby and it pays 5/4 here. I also like the evens available for Blackburn to pick up most booking points.
Ross County vs Aberdeen top betting tips
New Aberdeen boss Jimmy Thelin has won every game so far, with last week's victory over Kilmarnock their eighth in a row.
They now face a Ross County side who followed up a shock League Cup loss to League Two Spartans by getting spanked 6-0 away to Rangers.
So the Dons look decent value at evens for a win, even though they are away from home.
For a long-odds option, Dons midfielder Sivert Nilsen looks good at 5/1 with Bet365 to be booked. The Norwegian already has two yellows to his name but the bookies keep offering him at hefty odds to go in the book.

Strange question.
Not really mate just wondered if it was a typo as I’ve followed you on it and i got 11/1 that’s all ,
Odds change all the time deano, it was actually 8.40/1 but I put it on at Skybet, b365 will be a better price.
Nearly 13/1 now b365 which I have taken.
Hey was trying to be nice and highlight that there’s better odds to your bet elsewhere you absolutely cabbage.
No need for that mate!
He* and absolute* would sound better in your sentence.

Today’s punt, along the same lines,
Oliveirense vs Leixios – Portuguese 2nd Liga -kick off 11:00
BTTS & over 2.5 match goals.(11/8)
Ceske Budejovice vs Bohemians 1905 – Czech 1st Liga – kick off 13:30
Both teams to score.(8/13)

BTTS & over 2.5 match goals(6/5)
Treble @ 744/100 with bet365
Good luck with all bets today !!!!
Well done mate on your bet yesterday was a good treble 👍
Thanks Deano, to add a bit of shine, I took a bit of cover on under 2.5
match goals after Vienna equalised on 53 min, and cashed out on 90
mins for an extra 24 points.
No joy with my shots on the woodwork last night LOSERS

Yesterday’s bet won at 11/10

England league 2
Accrington v Colchester
Both teams to score + over 2.5 goals
Ladbrokes 11/10

What do you think the shortest odds would be…landing a 20 team acca today or an Oasis ticket? 🤣
Brighton have had a good start to the season and will be fun to watch this year but they will struggle to get anything out of today’s game against a team who is now used to winning every game. Not a lot of value in just the Arsenal win so will be taking team goals and a Havertz goal who has 2 in 2 against Brighton.
Main bets
Arsenal O2.5tg’s 6/5
Havertz ATGS 11/8 (booster to 7/4 betfred)
Longshot
Arsenal win, Havertz ATGS, Milner booking 10/1
Good luck 👍🏾
Granted Arsenal do win games nowadays but if they were used to winning every game wouldn’t they be Champions?? Arteta needs a trophy sharpish otherwise he can’t be deemed successful.
Ok Macca thanks for the feedback, much appreciated as always. Have a great weekend 👍🏾
Scottish championship for my picks today and 2 aways that look good. First up Ayr who are off to a flier to beat a struggling Dunfermline (both on and off the pitch), shade over evens looks a decent price. Secondly Falkirk who are also going great guns to take care of an inconsistent Morton, around 17/20.
Falkirk & Ayr to win – 2.8/1 NAP
Add Villa to win – 6/1 NB
Add Stockport for 16/1 LONGSHOT.
BOL today troops
Morning gents,
No joy at all in last night’s Championship game – 8 corners by 65:00 then nothing for the last 25 minutes 👎 Well done all with winners.
Not the best of overseas cards today/tonight although the Bolivian Cup games at 8.00 may be worth a small-stake look for a goals acca?
Instead, I’ll focus closer to home in the good old National League North and the stomping grounds of my youth…
RADCLIFFE BOROUGH VS. KINGS LYNN
I have no idea how a Norfolk side qualifies for a ‘Northern’ league status but at least it will be a nice opportunity for any travelling fans to sample running water and electicity for the first time as they make their way North by wagon.
Joking aside, its good that the footy is back on to keep the local occupied after the recent Raccy Riots absolutely wrecked the town centre causing over 16 pounds worth of damage.
Anyway…
BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
(8/13, bet365) NAP ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
KINGS LYNN OVER 1.5 TEAM GOALS
(11/8, bet365) NB ⭐️⭐️⭐️
OVER 5.5 MATCH GOALS

Best of luck with all bets!
