There are two English Premier League matches taking place on Sunday and we suggest a bet in each of them.
A reminder that the English Premier League Outright Markets are updated throughout the season and heading into the weekend Manchester City are sitting at 4/6 favourites to retain their title with arsenal 9/2, Liverpool 17/2 and you can get 11/1 and better the balance.

Aston Villa v Everton – Click here to bet
Aston Villa got off to a terrible start with a 5-1 thumping away at Newcastle last week. Newcastle were on the board as early as the 6th minute and although Villa equalised in the 11th minute that was the last time they celebrated in the match as Newcastle scored 4 unanswered goals to justify their pre-match price of 13/20.
Everton also got off to a losing start when they hosted Fulham last week. Everton were 13/10 for the win with Fulham priced at 23/10, but it was the visitors who got the victory by a 1-0 margin with the winner coming in the 73rd minute.
Aston Villa did the double over Everton last season winning this fixture 2-0 and beating them 2-1 at home and they have actually beaten Everton in their last 4 matches in the League. Villa are 7/10 to make it 5 in a row with Everton on offer at 4/1 and the draw at 3/1, but for me the bet here is under 2.5 goals at 19/20. I think it is going to be a tight game with both teams desperate to avoid a 2nd successive loss to start the season.
Suggested Bet: Under 2.5 goals at 19/20

West Ham v Chelsea – Click here to bet
West Ham were away to Bournemouth in Week 1 and they came away with a point, but would have been disappointed after taking the lead in the 51st minute only to concede an equaliser in the 82nd.
Chelsea were 2/1 when hosting Liverpool at home last week, but the match finished in a draw 1-1 with the draw been on offer at 28/10 prior to kick-off. Liverpool had taken the lead in the 18th minute, but Chelsea hit back in the 37th to level matters heading into the sheds and there was no goal scored in the second-half.
This fixture finished 1-1 last season and Chelsea won the reverse fixture at Stamford Bridge 2-1.
West Ham are 5/2 for the win and the draw 26/10 and Chelsea on offer at 11/10. I was quite impressed with Chelsea last week, but rather than take the 11/10 that they win the match I am going to back both teams to find the back of the net at 8/10 as I fancy West Ham to push them hard here.
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 8/10
