With the Premier League once again taking centre stage this weekend, we have a stacked Saturday schedule on the cards.

Watching Tottenham welcome Liverpool to north London on Saturday evening for a heavyweight showdown in the capital, the likes of Manchester City will also be looking to extend on their 100% start.

With a string of eye-catching affairs from up and down the country, we have taken a glance at a few of the standout fixtures and the best available betting odds.

Saturday, September 30th

15:00 Manchester United vs Crystal Palace

While Manchester United might have continued to show a string of issues since opening up the 2023/24 campaign, Erik ten Hag’s side certainly gained a welcomed boost earlier in the week. Extending on their EFL Cup adventure following a 3-0 victory against the Eagles at Old Trafford, the Premier League heavyweights will be seeking a repeat performance here.

Opening their Champions League adventure with an action-packed 4-3 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich earlier in the month, the former Ajax boss will now be calling on his squad to find some crucial stability.

Last seen in top-flight action claiming a gritty 1-0 victory away at Premier League returners Burnley, ten Hag’s men have secured back-to-back wins for the first time since opening up the new campaign.

Holding a stellar record against Saturday’s guests and losing just a pair of their previous 35 straight meetings – a run that stems all the way back to May 1991 – United will be desperate to avoid a potential banana skin here.

Although Crystal Palace might have entered September’s international break in the midst of an eye-catching start, Roy Hodgson’s side have largely come crashing back down to earth.

Blown away thanks to that 3-0 drumming at Old Trafford earlier in the week and watching their EFL Cup dreams go up in smoke, the Eagles are now without a win from their last three meetings against Premier League opposition.

Marking their return from the fortnight interval with a 3-1 defeat against Aston Villa, it should also be noted that Palace have notched just a single strike on their three-match winless run.

Manchester United vs Crystal Palace Best Betting Markets:

  • Manchester United win @ 3/5 with 1xBet
  • Crystal Palace to score under 1.5 goals @ 4/11 with BetUS
  • Casemiro to have over 0.5 shots on target @ 13/10 with Pribet

15:00 Wolves vs Manchester City

Watching their EFL Cup dreams come to an abrupt end away at Newcastle earlier in the week as they slumped to a 1-0 loss, Manchester City will be seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, while the chance to do a quadruple this season might be off the cards for Pep Guardiola’s side, the Sky Blues will be smelling the chance to make another top-flight statement on Saturday afternoon.

Flying out of the traps since opening up the 2023/24 campaign, the English record-breakers have won each of their first six Premier League showdowns and the mood in their camp remains at a red-hot high.

Opening this weekend’s fixtures as the only top-flight club that can boast a 100% start to proceedings, the former Barcelona boss finds his superstar squad tipped as a landslide contender to make even more history this season.

Last seen on Premier League duties claiming a routine 2-0 win at home against Nottingham Forest, Manchester City should be excited by a trip to the Midlands this weekend.

Suffering a remarkable EFL Cup collapse away at Championship outfit Ipswich in midweek and eventually falling to an action-packed 3-2 loss, Wolves find themselves in the midst of an extended struggle.

Still dealing with some public issues behind the scenes, it appears that new boss Gary O’Neil has a real uphill struggle on his hands.

Forced to settle for an uninspiring 1-1 draw away at Premier League returners Luton, Saturday’s hosts have won just one of their previous nine top-flight showdowns continuing on from last season.

Hit with a 3-0 drumming when they last met City back on January 22nd and losing each of their last six straight meetings, Wolves should be bracing themselves for another heavyweight challenge here.

Wolves vs Manchester City Best Betting Markets:

  • Manchester City win @ 4/11 with Olympusbet
  • Both teams to score @ 19/20 with Dachbet
  • Mario Lemina to be shown a card @ 9/4 with Luckster

17:30 Tottenham vs Liverpool

Extending on their EFL Cup adventure earlier in the week after claiming a 3-1 victory against Championship high-flyers Leicester, Liverpool have enjoyed a hugely impressive start to proceedings. With their sights firmly set on clinching a much-needed top-four return this time around, Saturday’s guests are riding a recent wave of momentum.

Last seen in Premier League action claiming an action-packed 3-2 victory against West Ham, Jurgen Klopp’s men have now won each of their previous seven appearances across all competitions.

Really gaining a reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third, the former Borussia Dortmund boss will be calling on his side to lay down another marker here.

Along with opening their Europa League campaign with another 3-1 win away at LASK last week, it is worth highlighting that Liverpool have notched a stunning 20 strikes on their seven-match winning run.

On the flip side, while Tottenham might have come under plenty of scrutiny last season as they missed out on the chance to book any kind of European adventure, Saturday’s guests are enjoying a stellar rise under new boss Ange Postecoglou.

Coming from behind twice away at bitter local rivals Arsenal last weekend as they played out a thrilling 2-2 draw, the former Celtic boss finds the mood in his camp at a red-hot high.

Unbeaten in each of their opening six Premier League appearances this season and also dreaming of the chance to mount a genuine Champions League charge, Spurs have certainly gained a string of plaudits.

With the red-hot Son Heung-min bagging five goals in his previous two Premier League appearances, Tottenham will be confident of testing Liverpool’s leaky defence here.

Tottenham vs Liverpool Best Betting Markets:

  • Son Heung-min to have over 1.5 shots on target @ 6/5 with Vegas Land
  • Cristian Romero to be shown a card @ 43/20 with Pribet
  • Tottenham double chance @ 4/5 with BetUS
