Kick Off the Premier League: Top Tips & Predictions for Match Day 1

Manchester United vs Fulham – Both Teams To Score

Manchester United were unlucky against Manchester City last weekend but can make the most of their home advantage when they face Fulham in the first round of Premier League games. United lost just one of their final seven matches at Old Trafford last season and won 10 of their 19 home league games. In contrast, Fulham lost nine of their 19 away games. Clean sheets have been hard to come by for Ten Hag’s side, so backing the hosts to win and concede might be wise.

Alejandro Garnacho To Have 2+ Shots On Target

Garnacho averaged 2.8 shots per game in the Premier League last season, indicating he gets plenty of chances. He appears to have found his finishing touch after scoring in the FA Cup final and the Community Shield, making him a strong candidate for at least two attempts on target.

Newcastle vs Southampton – Both Teams To Score

Newcastle rarely fail to deliver at their beloved St James’ Park, where they lost only two of their 19 outings in 2022-23 and won 12 of their 19 matches last season. However, they conceded in eight of their final ten home league games last term, suggesting Southampton can get on the scoresheet.

West Ham United vs Aston Villa – Both Teams To Score

Aston Villa have lost four of their last five Premier League opening day fixtures, so history is not on their side heading into their meeting with West Ham. The Hammers have not lost any of their last nine home meetings with the Villans and could come out on top on Saturday. However, each of the last five head-to-heads have seen both teams score, so the visitors should still pose a threat.

Everton to Win vs Brighton

The Toffees were victorious in all of their final five home fixtures last season, keeping clean sheets in each. The Seagulls, meanwhile, have won just three competitive away matches in 2024 and could struggle once again.

Arsenal To Win To Nil vs Wolverhampton

Arsenal have won their last six league meetings with Wolves, and the Gunners can target a comfortable opening win on Saturday.

Predictions:

  • Man Utd 3-2 Fulham
  • West Ham 2-2 Aston Villa
  • Everton 2-1 Brighton
  • Brentford 1 – 1 Crystal Palace
  • Chelsea  2-2 Man City
  • Leicester 1 – 2 Tottenham
  • Nottingham Forest 2 -1 Bournemouth
  • Arsenal 3-0 Wolverhampton
  • Ipswich 1 – 2 Liverpool
  • Newcastle 3 -1 Southampton
