Premier League Matchday 3 Preview: United Aiming to Derail Liverpool

Matchday 3 of the 2024/25 Premier League season promises to be a cracker, with the line-up featuring several mouth-watering encounters. 
 
The headline act is undoubtedly on Sunday as Manchester United face Liverpool in a game which will generate a ton of activity on football betting sites
 
Read on as we look at some of the best Premier League games for Matchday 3 to highlight the key betting angles to consider. 

Highlights

  • United desperate to upset the odds.
  • Short-priced treble looks tempting.
  • Over 1.5 goals multiple is worth chancing.

United Need a Positive Result

Manchester United went into the new Premier League season with high hopes of forcing their way back into contention for a top four finish. 
 
However, they have been unimpressive in the opening two weeks, taking just three points from their fixtures against Fulham and Brighton & Hove Albion. 
 
The Red Devils desperately need a positive result against Liverpool, which makes their odds of 33/20 in the ‘draw no bet’ market well worth chancing. 

Short-Priced Treble Should Deliver

Manchester City and Arsenal have won their first two games and are strongly fancied to make it three-in-a-row against West Ham United and Brighton respectively. 
 
Aston Villa also look a good bet to triumph at Leicester City, setting up what could be an extremely tasty weekend treble. 
 
Collective odds of 11/5 on several UK betting apps represent a decent return for three teams who have extremely lofty aspirations this season. 

Over 1.5 Goals Market Worth Another Wager

We were one result short of predicting a successful 10-fold in the over 1.5 goals market last weekend, but can go one better this time around. 
 
Seventeen of the 20 games played have surpassed that mark on the first two matchdays and things could continue in the same vein this weekend. 
 
The 10-fold multiple is priced at 23/5 on new betting sites and can deliver a winning return to sports bettors who keep the faith.
