Liverpool vs Aston Villa, Sunday 2pm
Aston Villa have a second opportunity to meet the high expectations set for them before the season began, as their disappointing 5-1 loss to Newcastle on the first day did not accurately reflect their potential. However, this defeat could be an anomaly in what promises to be a thrilling season under the guidance of Unai Emery and his team.Liverpool's position as a top-four ranked side still remains uncertain, despite their potentially season-lift-off result against Newcastle. The defense lacks conviction without a secure midfield structure. While Villa can pose a threat at Anfield, I am hesitant to place my bets on the double chance at 5/4 with Sky Bet. Instead, my focus shifts to the total goals market, where the goal expectancy seems excessively high for this match.
SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1

have a cautious playing style when away under Emery, opting to sit deeper compared to their aggressive high line at home. As a result, they tend to absorb more pressure. In fact, in 11 out of their 13 away matches, the total goals scored were below 3.5. It is worth noting that their previous encounter with the same opponent last season ended in a 1-1 draw. Therefore, considering these factors, the odds of 8/11 with Sky Bet for under 3.5 goals seem like a reliable starting point for a wager.Despite purchasing numerous tickets, Eberechi Eze has yet to secure a raffle win this season. However, his fortunes are bound to change soon. With his exceptional attacking capabilities, a burst of goals is imminent. Eze has already taken 16 shots this season, which is the highest number alongside Erling Haaland among all Premier League players. Yet, unlike the prolific City striker, Eze has yet to find the back of the net.
Eze was the leading goal-scorer for Palace last season, finding the back of the net 10 times in the Premier League. And under the guidance of Roy Hodgson, his current form suggests that he will surpass that tally this campaign. However, Eze is yet to get off the mark, much to the disappointment of our bank balances. Surprisingly, the markets still believe in his goal-scoring potential. Sky Bet offers odds of 5/1 for him to open the scoring and 2/1 for him to score at any time. While these prices may not provide great value, now might be the opportune moment to back him.
SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1
Arsenal vs Manchester United, Super Sunday, 4.30pm, live on Sky Sports - PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!
The argument for goals in what promises to be an exhilarating clash on Super Sunday is straightforward. Sometimes, the most obvious approaches yield the greatest profits and successes. Over their last 21 home matches in the Premier League, Arsenal's games have averaged an impressive 4.11 goals per game. In 15 of those matches, both teams found the back of the net, and the over 2.5 goals threshold was surpassed, including both fixtures this season.
We can back the likelihood of both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals at odds of 4/5 with Sky Bet, indicating a 55% chance.
Taking into account the statistical data and considering the impact Marcus Rashford's ability to counter-attack will have on Arsenal - he was involved in four out of United's five goals against Arsenal last season - I would estimate that percentage to be closer to 65%. This suggests that there is a good opportunity for a valuable bet.
