The Premier League returns this weekend and we’ve taken a look at what Gameweek 2 has on offer. We’ve had a look at the betting markets for this weeks fixtures and picked out our three best bets for the action.

• Fulham vs Leicester

• Aston Villa vs Arsenal
• Bournemouth vs Newcastle
• Wolves vs Chelsea
• Liverpool vs Brentford

Manchester United to win: 8/5

Starting off with the early kick-off between Brighton and Manchester United. This is a game that will be played at the Amex stadium and Brighton come in as the favourite which shouldn’t be much of a surprise considering the home advantage they have.

I’ll be siding with Manchester United to win this one as I think they represent some really good value as an underdog. This summer has been a good one for United fans with what seems like some really smart business in the transfer market which will be a welcome surprise for fans of the club. They have added a new look to their defence with both De Ligt and Mazraoui coming in and have strengthened upfront with the signing of Joshua Zirzkee, a player who managed to score on his debut last week.

Last season Manchester United won this fixture at the Amex and that was when they were arguably a worse team. I’m expecting a good strong start to the season for United and a win here is definitely worth backing at 8/5.

Jhon Duran to score anytime: 10/3

Jhon Duran got his 24/25 campaign off to a bang with a goal in Aston Villa’s opening fixture against West Ham, a team he was linked with joining this transfer window. The Colombian international didn’t start this fixture but was quick to make an impact when he was subbed on and scored the winning goal for Villa.

Aston Villa will be playing Arsenal here and despite being big underdogs, I fancy Duran to keep up his goal scoring form here against the Gunners. It’s tough to see Villa winning this game outright but I think you can squeeze some good value out of the goal scorer market here.

Villa are not a bad team at all and have proved that in recent Premier League seasons, I think they’re good enough to at least score a goal or two against Arsenal and with Duran set to start after his last performance, 10/3 looks like a really solid price for a striker to get a goal.

Wolves double chance vs Chelsea: 11/10

And finally we’re moving over to Wolves vs Chelsea. We’ll be siding with a slight upset here and that’s mainly because I still think Chelsea are nowhere near the finished product. Wolves are by no means a great team but I think with a home advantage and Chelsea still adjusting to their new squad and manager, they look like a decent bet to at least secure a win or draw against the Blues.

Chelsea were disappointing last season and it’s hard to say they’ve improved a lot coming into this season. Sure they’ll have players like Nkunku back in action but I feel like they are still a team of individuals rather than a cohesive team.

Wolves are priced as huge underdogs here and I think you’d be a brave man to be backing Chelsea to win this away from home at under even money. 11/10 seems generous for a win or draw in the double chance market for Wolves and I’ll take that any day of the week.
