There's three Premier League games for punters to feast on today and the tastiest clash comes at St James' Park as Newcastle host Liverpool.

Both clubs are under new management, with Matthias Jaissle replacing Eddie Howe on Tyneside and Andoni Iraola taking over from Arne Slot at Anfield.

Newcastle have also lost plenty of star players during a worrying transfer window so the bookies make them outsiders today despite having home advantage.

Mapgies fans have been a bit concerned this summer, with Bruno Guimaraes, Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali all sold for big money and the club drafting in unproven replacements.

Gaffer Jaissle was also a left-field appointment and Bet365 fancy the German to get off to a losing start today, with Liverpool 9/10 favourites.

The Reds had a terrible title defence last season but should improve if Iraola can get them playing like his vibrant Bournemouth side.

Having Alexander Isak back from injury will be a big boost and the Swede will be a panto villain today as he bids to shoot down his old club.

Isak is just 20/21 with Bet365 for a goal but there's much more value in backing him for over 1.5 efforts on target at 12/5.

Manchester City vs Bournemouth

It has also been all change at the Etihad this summer, with Pep Guardiola standing down as Manchester City boss after a decade of unprecedented success.

The Catalan came close to winning a domestic Treble in his final season, only for City to stumble in the home straight as Arsenal claimed the Premier League crown.

He has been replaced by former Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca and the Italian got off to a poor start by losing 3-0 to the Gunners in last week's Community Shield.

But Maresca has still inherited a squad of world-class players and Bet365 make City 12/25 hot favourites against a Cherries side who have lost boss Iraola.

Marco Rose has taken over in Bournemouth and his biggest job today is finding a way to keep Erling Haaland quiet.

The striker was deadly for Norway at the World Cup and looks good at 11/5 with Bet365 for two or more goals in his Premier League opener.

Brighton and Hove Albion vs Aston Villa

Aston Villa fans have also been getting stressed out this summer with the club selling star players Morgan Rogers, Ezri Konsa and Youri Tielemans, despite sealing a return to the Champions League.

And Bet365 make Unai Emery's side 21/10 outsiders this afternoon as they get the new Premier League campaign underway with a trip to Brighton.

Emery's big summer signings Johan Manzambi and Joao Gomes are set to miss out today due to injuries so it's easy to see why the bookies don't fancy Villa's chances.

But Brighton fired blanks away to Tromso in the Conference League play-offs on Thursday night and there could be a bit of fatigue from that trip to Norway.

That makes me think Aston Villa might stand a chance, especially as they still have a decent starting XI despite all the injuries and departures. Backing them to win either half pays evens with Bet365.

John McGinn may have to play more centrally for Aston Villa with all the midfield injuries and the Scotland star is 11/10 to commit over 1.5 fouls.

Super singles

  • Alexander Isak over 1.5 shots on target 12/5 Bet365
  • Erling Haaland two or more goals 11/5 Bet365
  • John McGinn over 1.5 fouls 11/10 Bet365
