Unforeseen Upset: Bournemouth Set to Shock Liverpool in Premier League Clash

Is there a more underrated player in the Premier League than Rico Henry? He has been consistently excelling at this level for two seasons now, demonstrating exceptional defensive skills in one-on-one situations, while also posing a significant threat when contributing to attacking moves.

Fulham vs Brentford, Saturday 3pm

To emphasize the point, the mere fact that he hasn't even been considered for England's 26-man World Cup squad speaks volumes. In the event of any injuries to Luke Shaw or Ben Chilwell - players who are not significantly superior to him anyway - he would be the next in line, by a considerable margin. His performance as an advanced wing-back against Tottenham was exceptional, repeatedly attempting to break the defensive line and creating three opportunities for his teammates, one of which resulted in Yoane Wissa's goal. If he employs similar tactics in this game, the odds of 5/1 for him to provide another assist are incredibly enticing, especially considering the expected high-scoring nature of the match.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-3

Before Wolves even took to the field this season, Brighton were heavily favored at odds of almost 4/7 by Sky Bet for this particular fixture. However, Gary O'Neil's side delivered a remarkable display at Old Trafford, showcasing their dynamism, organization, and sense of purpose. These early signs suggest that they will fare quite well in the league. As a result, the odds for Brighton have shifted significantly to 10/11, making them a compelling option. In my opinion, they have a legitimate chance of finishing in the top four this season. Instead of getting involved in the overall market, though, I am fully backing the goal-line.

The bet that catches my attention is the 11/10 odds for both teams to score and over 2.5 goals in the game. This particular wager has been successful in 14 out of 20 away matches under the management of Roberto De Zerbi. With the recent departure of Moises Caicedo, it is possible that the average number of goals scored under De Zerbi's guidance may increase. This was evident in the match against Luton, where the new players demonstrated a strong ability to launch counter-attacks. Brighton may require some time to adjust their defensive strategies and find a new balance without their exceptional midfield destroyer.

Expectations for Wolves are high this season as they adopt a more fearless approach, which should reflect in their increased average goals per game ratio. Therefore, this upcoming encounter appears to be an ideal opportunity for an exciting and high-scoring match.

Notably, Andoni Iraola, the manager, has a reputation for fearlessly challenging top teams when playing away. During his tenure in La Liga, his Rayo Vallecano team achieved impressive results against Barcelona, including a memorable 1-0 victory and a goalless draw. At Real Madrid, they only suffered narrow 2-1 defeats on both occasions. Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that in those games at the Bernabéu, Iraola's teams even won the shot count, demonstrating their lack of fear when confronting formidable opponents.

His aggressive style of counter-attacking and high-pressing is better suited for a game where his team won't have possession of the ball, like the upcoming match at Anfield. In their previous game against West Ham, Bournemouth seemed uninspiring for the first 60 minutes as West Ham willingly gave up possession. However, Bournemouth managed to find their rhythm and finished strongly, securing a 1-1 draw. I'm excited to see Iraola's aggressive style in action against Liverpool. While it's still too early to consider betting on an away win, we can support Bournemouth in the shots on target markets.

Due to Liverpool's midfield lacking defensive balance, their team is not yet functioning at optimal levels, creating opportunities for Bournemouth during transitions. In fact, in 53 percent of their last 40 Premier League games, Jurgen Klopp's side has faced four or more shots on target. Taking into account Bournemouth's expected bold approach, it becomes more enticing to bet on them recording four or more shots on target at odds of 11/8 with Sky Bet.

Tottenham vs Manchester United, live on We

Drawing strong conclusions or making sweeping statements based on just 90 minutes of football is not recommended. However, I have become less optimistic about Manchester United's prospects for this season. This is not only due to their lackluster performance against Wolves but also because of the aging players like Casemiro and Raphael Varane. Moreover, Erik ten Hag's poor record against top teams in away games last season cannot be ignored. He only earned one point out of the 24 available, making it the worst record of any team. On the other hand, I witnessed enough from Tottenham to believe that Ange Postecoglou's approach could make them an attractive option in the draw-no-bet market with Sky Bet, where they are currently offered at Evens.

The defensive structure and ability of Newcastle are more than capable of causing frustration to the champions, surpassing the expectations of the market. This game holds enough promise in terms of odds, particularly with the enticing 11/10 offered by Sky Bet for the under 2.5 goals line.

Newcastle's performance in the Premier League last season showcases their defensive prowess, particularly in away games against the top six. They conceded a mere five goals and managed clean sheets at Arsenal, Manchester United, and Brighton, resulting in scoreless draws for all those matches. On average, these games witnessed a meager 1.3 goals per game.

In the event that Newcastle intends to employ a strategy of frustrating City, there is a possibility that goalkeeper Nick Pope may also be cautioned with a yellow card, currently standing at odds of 17/2 with Sky Bet. Referees have noticeably cracked down on time-wasting, opting to issue cards instead of giving warnings. Consequently, this crackdown is expected to result in an increase in the number of away goalkeepers being penalized.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1

Aston Villa vs Everton will be broadcast live on We. Following a horse racing approach, it is reasonable to excuse a horse for a poor performance if there were valid reasons on that day. This is relevant to Villa's heavy defeat on the opening day against Newcastle, where the absence of Tyrone Mings affected their performance, and they faced a strong opposition at St James' Park. Everton, who have been struggling to score goals, should be expected to struggle against Villa, who have won seven consecutive matches at Villa Park. Therefore, those who bet on a home win at odds of 4/6 with Sky Bet are likely to see a rewarding outcome.

I'd expect Everton to have their moments though as they've averaged 14 shots per-game away from home in their last seven away days. This potentially makes

The conditions are favorable for low-scoring games, increasing the likelihood of fewer than 1.5 goals. Therefore, the odds of 5/2 with Sky Bet are suitable for this match against West Ham, as they are unlikely to concede many goals either.

A notable player to keep an eye on is Ben Chilwell. Under Pochettino, he has been given significant attacking freedom as a wing-back, as seen in the previous weekend's game. Pochettino emphasizes the need for his midfielders to search for the switch in every attack, making Chilwell a promising choice in the attacking prop markets.

Such was Chilwell's assertiveness that he stood as the team's second highest player in terms of average positioning during analysis of the Chelsea team. Despite an unfortunate instance of a poor first touch that cost him, he managed to register a shot on target with an expected goal value of 0.16. Furthermore, Chilwell was denied a goal when he ventured into a central area. When it comes to betting, you can choose from various options regarding Chilwell: back him to have two or more shots at odds of 11/8, one or more shots on target at odds of 2/1, or take a chance on him scoring first at odds of 18/1.

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal, live on We

Arsenal's potential to compete for significant titles still leaves me unconvinced. However, Mikel Arteta's team has shown great reliability when facing challenging opponents like Crystal Palace. Last season, they had an impressive aggregate score of 52-17 against bottom half teams, suffering only two defeats against Everton and Nottingham Forest.

It is undeniable that Roy Hodgson has made an impact at Crystal Palace. Since his return, they have amassed 21 points in 11 Premier League matches, surpassing Arsenal's 18 points. Nevertheless, considering their limited squad depth in various positions, a regression towards becoming a consistently mid-table team seems likely for Crystal Palace.

For those seeking a bit of excitement and a potential increase in the odds of an away victory, it is worth considering placing a bet on Gabriel Martinelli as the first goal scorer in a 2-0 win at 30/1 with Sky Bet. He demonstrated his scoring ability against Crystal Palace in both matches last season, and ended up being their joint-top scorer in the Premier League with an impressive 15 goals. One of Martinelli's admirable qualities is consistently surpassing his expected goals, as evidenced by 15 goals from a mere 9.1 expected goals. It seems that he is in top form and ready for an exceptional season on that left flank.
