Crystal Palace v Arsenal
The price about an Arsenal win on Friday is simply too short, with Palace underrated by fans and bookies alike.
Patrick Vieira’s side ranked as the sixth best team in the league last season based on xG, and at home they were excellent, particularly defensively, ranking third best on xGA per game (0.97).

The Eagles should be able to replicate those figures given the continuity at the club over the summer, and given they had a great record against the better teams at Selhurst Park last season (W3 D1 L2) including a 3-0 success over Arsenal.

That was one more than teammate Harry Kane over that period and two more than Kevin De Bruyne, both of which have won the Playmaker Award within the past three seasons.
Everton v Chelsea
This is set to be a fascinating game, but it is fully expect that this meeting will follow the same pattern as the last (1-0), meaning UNDER 2.5 GOALS is just too big of a price.

Everton played in a deep-lying block at the back end of last season, with a high energy, unorganised press meaning their games saw few chances at either end of the pitch.

Manchester United v Brighton
BRUNO FERNANDES has been the bane of Brighton. In his last five league appearances against Graham Potter’s side the Portuguese playmaker has found the net four times and registered two assists. In those fixtures, he has racked up a total of 16 shots, 11 of which have hit the target.

Sky Bet’s boosted price for him to register 2+ SHOTS ON TARGET would have clicked in four of those fixtures which is why it appeals, though it is worth noting that’s only a shade longer than Betfair are generally pricing it.

Leicester v Brentford
With Eriksen in the starting eleven after his surprise January signing, Brentford gained 22 points from a possible 30, averaging 1.92 expected goals for (xGF) and 1.33 expected goals against (xGA) per game.
You’d have to believe their attacking output will take a hit, but the feeling is that Thomas Frank’s defence can step up and stay in plenty of games, especially with a full preparation for a season opener on the road.

UNDER 2.5 GOALS is the 11/10 selection for this strangely scheduled match-up, albeit with small stakes.

West Ham v Manchester City
David Moyes’ men averaged 5.3 corners taken per game last season, with City going at a much higher - and league-leading - 8.32. It’s therefore unsurprising that there were 13 corners in their league meeting at the London Stadium and 12 at the Etihad.

Add in the 11 taken in their Carabao Cup contest and it is 36 corners across three games, meaning the 6/4 on OVER 11.5 CORNERS provides appeal in this contest.
