In Across the Leagues today:

• Premier League 2026/27 coming up…
• First bets Wednesday…
• First game Friday…

The return of the Premier League…

Good evening…

Just a quick note to let you know that the new Premier League season will be the focus of our 2026/27 ante-post business this week.

I’m busy working on the prep right now. Our first top-flight selections will be sent to you by email on Wednesday afternoon.

Irons in the fire right now include a couple of Each Way outsiders in the Premier League Top Goalscorer market. One a seasoned top-tier scorer on these shores… another a highly rated youngster…

I’m also investigating a few lines of enquiry in other 2026/27 markets, including Relegation.

The first game is on Friday night, with champions Arsenal taking on newly promoted Coventry City, live on Sky Sports. I’ll have a Premier League matchday one email for you on Friday, too.

• Plus – watch out for the return of our popular, free to play, Premier League Predictorgame, too

It’s all about to kick off. See you on Wednesday and Friday…

Enjoy the football…

Best wishes,

Oliver Upstone
