Premier League Predictions…

Here are our predictions for this weekend, along with Chris Sutton at the BBC:

STAT ATTACK:

Brentford v Aston Villa

Premier League, Saturday 3pm

• Ollie Watkins has scored 5 goals in his last 4 appearances against his former club Brentford. Landing Anytime Scorer bets in 5 of his last 6 starts against the Bees

The transfer window is still open and the rumour mill is still spinning, but as it stands Watkins remains an Aston Villa player. He played the full match v Newcastle last weekend.

• After posting 16 goals for Aston Villa as their top league scorer last season, Watkins has now scored 10+ league goals, 9 seasons running

Stat Attack Selections:

Betfred have Ollie Watkins at 11/8 (2.38) to Score Anytime against Brentford this weekend. And at 9/2 (5.5) for First Goalscorer.

The Weekend Acca…

For every round of Premier League games, we’ll be building an accumulator from the selections in our Predictor grid, across the Match Result and Goals markets. Rolling up for some big odds…

Here’s the week one acca. These picks all match-up across the predictions from myself, my Across the Leagues colleague Shaun, and Chris Sutton on the BBC:

West Ham v Chelsea - Chelsea to win
Man City v Tottenham - Man City to win
Bournemouth v Wolves - Under 2.5 Goals
Brentford v Aston Villa - Aston Villa to win
Arsenal v Leeds - Arsenal to win
Crystal Palace v Nott'm Forest - Draw
Newcastle v Liverpool - Over 2.5 Goals

• The 7-fold acca pays 79/1 with Betfred

Enjoy the football…
