With Manchester City and Arsenal at the top of the pile, there is a familiar look to the Premier League table already this season and the prospect of them meeting at the Etihad this weekend is a mouth-watering one. Elsewhere, Liverpool will be looking to bounce back from a first loss of the season, as they take on Bournemouth, whilst Tottenham only have one win to their name this term and they will be chasing a confidence boosting triumph at home to Brentford.
Liverpool vs Bournemouth – Liverpool to win
2/7 at Rhino Bet
Following their difficult defeat to Nottingham Forest last weekend, Liverpool and Arne Slot will be looking to bounce back here against Bournemouth. It is certainly not panic stations for Liverpool, who were unlucky not to pick up a point at Anfield, but they have their first serious questions to answer under the stewardship of the Dutchman. Similarly, Bournemouth saw their unbeaten record disappear last weekend too, losing to Chelsea and they will be liberated by having no expectations on them here against Liverpool. That said, the reds need a win, and they should get one here at Anfield.
Tottenham vs Brentford – Tottenham to win
1/2 at Rhino Bet
Following a North London derby defeat to Arsenal, Tottenham will be looking to get back on the wagon here against Brentford. Spurs wasted plenty of chances against the Gunners and were made to rue them, as Ange Postecoglou searches for a formula that turns things around at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Brentford pushed Manchester City all the way last week, missing chances of their own to pressurise the champions and they will take heart from that ahead of this one. However, Spurs need a win desperately and they are being backed for three home points by many punters and EPL betting sites.
Manchester City vs Arsenal – Draw
14/5 at Betzone
The stakes continue to rise for both Manchester City and Arsenal, who will be looking to strike an early blow in the title race, as they meet at the Etihad Stadium. City have won 4 on the spin, whilst Arsenal have won 3 out of 4 – including wins on the road at Aston Villa and Tottenham. Games like this tend to be cagey affairs, with both sides cautious about the implications of losing the game and consequently, it could end up being a draw in Manchester, a result both sides and the rest of the league may well settle for.
