There’s some exciting Soccer to look forward to this weekend as the Premier League returns.

The season gets underway on Friday as Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal entertain Craig Shakespeare’s Leicester at the Emirates Stadium. Saturday sees Liverpool travel to Watford in the early fixture, Klopp’s men have put nine goals past Watford while only conceding once in the past three meetings. Elsewhere, defending champions Chelsea host Burnley and Manchester City travel to newly promoted Brighton in the late kick-off.

On Sunday, Tottenham make the trip north to face new boys Newcastle at St James’ Park. Later that day, attention turns to Old Trafford as Jose Mourinho’s Red Devils look to get off to winning ways against Slaven Bilić’s Hammers.

Arsenal host Leicester in the Premier League curtain-raiser on Friday but with the Gunners only winning one of their last seven opening games, bet365 are 7/1 about Wenger’s side being the top scorers on Matchday one – they’re 12/1 to go through the season unbeaten at the Emirates.


bet365’s Steve Freeth “Arsenal have suffered some opening game nerves in recent seasons, including home defeats to the likes of West Ham, Aston Villa and a thriller versus Liverpool last year and there has been some early support for Leicester to add to that list of frustrations.”


The Foxes are currently 11/2 to win on Friday night and 50/1 to be the highest scoring team over the first round of Premier League matches.

Mario Lemina is thrilled to have joined Southampton from Juventus after Mauricio Pellegrino paid a club-record transfer fee of £18million to sign the 23-year-old Gabon international. Lemina, who had been linked with Arsenal, Liverpool, West Ham, Watford and Stoke City, has penned a five-year contract with Southampton, who are 4/7 with bet365 to beat Swansea City on Saturday. He is Saints' second signing of the summer following the arrival of central defender Jan Bednarek from Lech Poznan for £5million. Lemina said: "I am really happy to have signed for Southampton. I think that it was the project that attracted me the most and the one my family was really behind." Southampton are 8/15 to finish in the top half of the Premier League table this season.

What did you make of Derby's performance last week at Sunderland, ODM? I thought they were quite poor, missed a couple of late chances but other than that looked pretty devoid of ideas throughout.

Good game tonight to get the Prem started off.
I was talking to Howson today saying I thought Leicester might struggle this season but he said I don't think so because with Ian Nacho and Vardy they have goals in them, for once I think he's right.

Agree that Arsenal's defence needs to improve, but Lacazette is the player they've been crying out for for years.
