Southampton ML over Newcastle (+700), 10:00 am ET, Saturday

Only Wolves have bigger odds than Southampton to win on EPL Matchday 1, but the Saints rate the best bet on the docket. Of course, Southampton make the step up from the Championship this season, but Russell Martin has been busy in the transfer window adding 10 new players, which includes the signings of talented duo Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Flynn Downes.

Southampton have to adapt to English Premier League soccer, but there will be continuity under Martin, who will not compromise on his style of play, and the Saints could cause Newcastle, who have won only 4 of their last 10 EPL games at St James’ Park, problems on Saturday.

Arsenal ML over Wolves & Over 2.5 goals (-160), 10:00 am ET, Saturday

Arsenal can get their Premier League campaign off to a successful start with a comfortable success over Wolves. The Gunners have won 15 of their last 19 EPL home games, and 7 of their last 8 Premier League wins at the Emirates came with over 2.5 goals in the game. Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta should be able to mastermind a high-scoring victory over Wolves.

Manchester City ML over Chelsea (-125), 11:30 am ET, Sunday

It has been another chaotic summer at Stamford Bridge with Enzo Maresca taking over from Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea. While pre-season friendlies wouldn’t be the most reliable form guide, Chelsea certainly didn’t impress on their recent tour of the US. It’s difficult to have any faith in the Blues matching the level of Man City on Sunday, and Pep Guardiola’s men can leave West London with their first victory of the campaign.
