With the Premier League making its return this weekend following September’s international break, we have a stacked schedule on the cards this weekend.
With eight top-flight showdowns on the cards, the duo of Manchester City and Liverpool will be looking to extend on their 100% start to proceedings.
So, for those of you looking to stick on a Saturday acca, we have taken a look some of the most intriguing Premier League betting markets that are available.
Saturday, September 14th
BST 12:30 Southampton vs Manchester United
While Manchester United might have made the decision to stick with Erik ten Hag over the summer, the former Ajax boss once again has a huge amount of pressure on his shoulders. Heading into September’s international break with an infamous 3-0 drumming at home against historic rivals Liverpool, the Red Devils have collected just three points from their opening trio of Premier League appearances and mark their return battling it out in the bottom-half of the table. However, although Saturday’s guests might have drastically struggled to find any kind of Premier League stability, they should be relishing a trip to St. Mary’s this weekend. Looking to avoid what would be considered a real banana skin on Saturday lunchtime, Man United will be confident of cashing in on a Southampton squad that are already pencilled in as a landslide relegation contender.
Although the Saints might have secured an immediate Premier League return for this season, Russell Marin’s men have drastically struggled to deal with the step up in class. Last seen heading into the fortnight interval with a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Brentford, Southampton have lost each of their first three top-flight appearances this season and appear to have a real challenge on their hands this weekend. With many tipping the Saints as a leading bottom-three candidate this year, the former Swansea boss should also be concerned by a nightmare record against Saturday’s guests. Including a 1-0 loss when they welcomed United to St. Mary’s back in August 2022, they have failed to muster a single victory from any of their previous 15 appearances across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to 2016.
Tip: Manchester United win & Under 4.5 goals @ 6/5
15:00 Brighton vs Ipswich
While many around the Amex might have been disappointed over the summer as they watched Roberto De Zerbi leave the club, Brighton have only continued on a remarkable rise under the guidance of new boss Fabian Hurzeler. Getting proceedings underway with a sensational performance against Everton on August 17th as they stormed their way to a 3-0 romp at Goodison Park, the Seagulls have come flying out of the traps. Heading into September’s international break with a 1-1 stalemate away at title contenders Arsenal, the former St. Pauli boss should find the mood in his camp at a red-hot high. Laying down a heavyweight marker last month as they clinched a dramatic 2-1 victory at home against Manchester United, Brighton will be confident of extending on their early purple patch this weekend.
Although Ipswich might have secured an iconic Premier League return for this season, Kieran McKenna’s side have a real battle on their hands in the race to keep hold of their top-flight status. Opening proceedings with a 4-1 hammering at the hands of defending champions Manchester City, Saturday’s guests have collected just a single point from any of their first three Premier League appearances. Missing out on what was a potential opportunity at Portman Road prior to September’s fortnight interval as they had to settle for a 1-1 draw at home against Fulham, Ipswich have shown some worrying defensive issues. Shockingly crashing out of the EFL Cup on August 28th after suffering an infamous penalties defeat against League Two outfit AFC Wimbledon, McKenna’s side have a real challenge on their hands here.
Tip: Joao Pedro to score anytime @ 29/20
17:45 Aston Villa vs Everton
Making real history last season as they booked a stunning Champions League ticket for the first time in over four decades, Aston Villa have only continued to gain a string of plaudits since Unai Emery’s arrival last year. Making an immediate return to winning ways prior to September’s international break as they collected a 2-1 victory away at Leicester, the former Arsenal boss has seen his squad win two of their opening three Premier League appearances. Getting proceedings underway with an eye-catching 2-1 win against West Ham on August 17th, Saturday’s hosts will certainly be relishing their return this weekend. While Villa might still be seeking some crucial defensive steel, they will be confident of cashing in on an Everton squad who find themselves at the heart of another public crisis.
While Everton might have eventually clung to their Premier League status last season, the Blues have opened the new campaign in the midst of yet another high-profile struggle. Suffering an infamous last-gasp collapse at Goodison Park prior to the fortnight interval as they slumped to a 3-2 defeat, Sean Dyche has a tremendous amount of pressure on his shoulders. Opening the 2024/25 campaign with a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Brighton, Saturday’s guests have lost each of their first three Premier League appearances and they mark their return from September’s international break sat rock-bottom of the table. Hit with a 4-0 defeat when they travelled to Tottenham last month and already shipping 10 strikes so far this season, Everton have another heavyweight challenge on their hands when they travel to the Midlands this weekend.
