Tipster: Greg MacLean

Two clubs that remain winless in the Premier League this season meet in North London in the lunchtime kickoff on Saturday as Tottenham Hotspur entertain Aston Villa.

Tip 1: Over 2.5 goals

These two clubs have remarkably scored just one Premier League goal between them so far this season, so you know what that means, we’ll see a high-scoring encounter in North London on Saturday.

Both teams were on opposite ends of a 3-1 scoreline in the cup in midweek, whilst each of Villa’s last three matches in all competitions have gone Over 2.5 Goals.

Given the attacking quality on show for both teams, I’m happy to risk backing Over 2.5 Goals, which pays 4/5 at bet365.

Tip 2: John McGinn to be shown a card

John McGinn is no stranger to the referee’s notebook, and that is evident once again this season, with the Villa captain already booked four times in all competitions.

That includes twice in the Premier League against Brighton & Hove Albion and Arsenal, and the Scottish international looks value at 12/5 at bet365 to pick up another card in North London on Saturday.


Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Arsenal (3pm)

Tipster: Grant Heaney

Arsenal will aim to preserve their perfect start to the season when they travel to Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Tip 1: Bukayo Saka to score or assist

Having scored in three of Arsenal’s opening four Premier League games, Bukayo Saka looks good value to score or assist on Saturday at 10/11 with bet365.

Tip 2: Bruno Guimaraes to be fouled two+ times

Bruno Guimaraes was fouled twice in just 45 minutes off the bench against Sunderland last weekend.

The Brazilian has a real knack for drawing contact, so a repeat looks worth supporting at 4/5 with bet365.


Everton vs. Ipswich Town (3pm)

Everton v Ipswich

Tipster: Neil Potter

Everton welcome Ipswich to Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday with kick-off scheduled for 15:00. Both clubs have collected six points from their opening four Premier League matches, although their routes to those totals have differed.

Tip 1: Over 2.5 goals

Ipswich's away profile supplies the main reason for backing goals. Both of their away matches have produced over 2.5 goals and both teams have scored on each occasion.

Everton have shown greater attacking intent at home than their overall figures suggest. They scored twice in both home games and created enough to threaten an Ipswich defence exposed at Old Trafford and Selhurst Park.

Ipswich also carry enough attacking quality to contribute. They scored twice against Manchester United and three times at Palace, with Julio Enciso, Abdul Fatawu, Jack Clarke and Emersonn offering different routes into the penalty area.

Backing over 2.5 goals avoids relying on Everton to justify a short win price. It also targets the clearest weakness in the fixture, Ipswich's defensive record away from Portman Road.

Tip 2: Both teams to score

The overall numbers leave little between the sides. Everton average 1.24 xG and 1.49 xGA, producing 5.13 xPTS from four matches. Ipswich have recorded 1.29 xG, 1.74 xGA and 5.47 xPTS.

Everton hold the stronger territorial profile. They average 10.2 shots inside the box while allowing 8.8. Ipswich produce 6.5 and concede 9.5. The visitors have faced 16.2 shots per game, including 6.5 on target.

The venue splits point towards a more open contest. Everton's two home fixtures have produced an average of 2.55 xG, while they have registered 12.5 shots inside the penalty area per game.

Ipswich's away matches have been far less controlled. They average 1.36 xG but allow 2.67 xGA, with opponents producing 14 shots inside the box and 5.0 big chances per game. Their visits to Manchester United and Palace produced 12 goals.


Newcastle United vs. Hull City (3pm)

Newcastle v Hull

Tipster: Kevin Mac

Hull City have made a dream start to life back in the Premier League and head to Newcastle for their latest test with confidence sky high.

Tip 1: Newcastle to win and over 2.5 goals

You get the impression Hull's incredible run will come to an end at some point and St James' Park is always a tough venue to visit.

Yes, Newcastle have plenty of injury issues but I still fancy them to edge this and a Magpies victory with over 2.5 goals pays 23/20 at Bet365.

The Tigers could get a bit of joy against a defence that has been leaking goals, though, so there should be action at both ends.

Combining BTTS and over 2.5 goals pays evens and that looks worth a punt given it has landed in four of Newcastle's six games this season.

Tip 2: Over 2.5 Hull cards

Hull City have collected eight cards in their last two away games so over 2.5 Tigers cards appeals at 10/11. Backing them at -1 in the card handicap boosts the odds to 11/8


Nottingham Forest vs. Coventry City (3pm)

Nottingham Forest v Coventry

Tipster: Vladislav Tchakarov

Nottingham Forest host newly promoted Coventry, who, with every matchday, are adding their name to more and more Premier League anti-records. And unfortunately, it may get even worse before it gets better.

Tip 1: Nottingham Forest to win

It took Oliver Glasner four matches to secure his first win with Nottingham Forest, and the fact that it came away at Aston Villa is the most impressive aspect. 

This victory is part of a run of three matches without defeat (W1, D2) for the Tricky Trees, so it’s fair to say they’re on the up, but still far from their best form.

The bigger cause for concern is their poor run at home, with Forest having secured just one win in their last 13 Premier League home fixtures. Consequently, a match against the weakest team in the top flight on paper should be a golden opportunity. 

Coventry have returned to the top flight after more than 25 years, and all the signs suggest they won’t be staying there for long. 

Of course, it is still early days and they may turn things round by the end of the season, but the fact remains that they are only the second team in the top flight’s history to lose their first four matches without scoring a single goal. 

Tip 2: Morgan Gibbs-White to score or assist

It’s impossible to place any faith in any Coventry player, given that they haven’t scored a single goal in the top flight in four matches. 

If we’re to pick a goalscorer, we certainly need to look at the Nottingham line-up, who made quite a few changes to their attack over the summer. Liam Delap, for example, has finally opened his account in the top flight, but I still don’t think he can be called a safe bet.

Once again, I’ll turn to the midfield and Morgan Gibbs-White, who has been a key driving force in Nottingham’s attack for years now. The great thing about him is that he can both score and provide assists. Since the start of the season, he has two assists and one goal in four matches.
