Betvictor Brand Ambassador Michael Owen shares his thoughts on the weekend Premier League with for The Northern Echo.

Tottenham v Liverpool 1-2

This is a real test of Liverpool’s title credentials and a win at Wembley will go a long way. With a star-studded side full of attacking options the Reds are almost always guaranteed to score and will look to heap more misery on the hosts who were beaten at Watford last time out.

Dele Alli hopes to be fit after missing England’s game with Switzerland and although Harry Kane was quiet against Spain he is still the go to man for his club. Whether Spurs can stop a rampaging Liverpool forward line looks unlikely, however, and five wins on the bounce for Jurgen Klopp’s side beckons.

Michael’s recommendation: Liverpool to win and both teams to score at 3/1

Bournemouth v Leicester 1-1

Bournemouth were well beaten at Chelsea but are a much tougher opponent at home. There is usually a partisan atmosphere and the tight Vitality Stadium generates a terrific atmosphere.

Leicester welcome back Jamie Vardy from suspension and after tough games with Manchester United and Liverpool the Foxes will fancy themselves. They should be looking for maximum points if they wish to challenge for a top six berth but just look a little short of squad depth to perhaps make that leap at present.

Game to finish in a draw at 12/5

Chelsea v Cardiff 4-0

Maurizio Sarri is certainly changing the way Chelsea approach their football and his refreshing attacking attitude is already making him a favourite at the Bridge. Chelsea have attempted and completed more passes than any other side in the Premier League so far this season.

Their perfect start to the season is likely to be maintained against a Cardiff side without a win in six in all competitions. The Bluebirds did well to reach the top-flight, but the truth is they look set for a quick return and it is likely to be a long afternoon for Neil Warnock’s side.

Michael’s recommendation: Over 3.5 goals at 11/8

Huddersfield v Crystal Palace 0-1

Without the injured Wilfried Zaha, Palace suffered a surprise home reverse against Southampton in their last game. The Eagles are likely to have the Ivorian available, however, and it should be noted that they have won all three top-flight away games between the sides without conceding a goal

Huddersfield are yet win, but picked up a useful point at Goodison. Scoring goals is likely to be a problem for the Terriers this term.

Huddersfield are 2/1 favourites to be the lowest scorers in the Premier League with BetVictor.

Michael’s recommendation: Palace Draw No Bet at 7/10

Manchester City v Fulham 5-1

The Citizens will be looking for goals and there have been 16 scored in the Cottagers’ four Premier League games.

Fulham have already shipped nine times in those four games although in Alexsandar Mitrovic – who scored twice, one a cracker for Serbia midweek – they have a striker at the top of his game. Indeed, the Serb has scored 16 league goals since his Fulham debut in February – more than any other in the top two divisions of English football.

I expect City to put behind a couple of indifferent performances against Wolves and Newcastle and gain an emphatic success.

Michael’s recommendation: Over 4.5 goals at 17/10

Newcastle v Arsenal 1-1

Winless Newcastle sit in the bottom three, but the fixture list has not been kind and they look to have some easier looking fixtures after the visit of Arsenal. Indeed, I still believe they will move clear of the drop zone and it would be no surprise if they again finished the season in the top half.

Newcastle are 3/1 to end the season in the top ten with BetVictor

Arsenal have yet to convince and often looked shaky at Cardiff despite running out 3-2 winners. Two defeats from four outings is hardly top four form, however and the Gunners are already looking more like a top six outfit than one who will challenge for a Champions League spot.

Newcastle won the corresponding fixture 2-1 last season and the Gunners have not won back-to-back away PL games since May 2017. I do not expect the Magpies to lose.

Michael’s recommendation: Newcastle and the draw on the double chance at 9/10

Watford v Manchester United 1-0

Watford couldn’t have wished for a better start and manager Javi Gracia, who had been favourite to be the first PL manager to lose/leave his post, was a worthy winner of the Manager of the Month for August.

United got a valuable win at Turf Moor last time but they won’t relish a trip to Vicarage Road and I expect the hosts to get at least a point from the game.

Michael’s recommendation: Watford Draw No Bet at 85/40

Wolves v Burnley 1-0

Wolves have made a good start and a late winner at West Ham has given them a platform to consolidate. Wolves are without a win in their last 14 PL games at Molineux but have only lost two of 28 home league games under Nuno Espirito Santo and the Clarets have lost five of their last six away PL games. Things are likely to get worse before they get better for Sean Dyche’s side.

Michael’s recommendation: Wolves at 3/4

Everton v West Ham 2-0

Everton were disappointing against Huddersfield when they missed the skills of the suspended Richalison who scored twice on his Brazil debut against El Salvador midweek. The Blues must again do without the exciting Brazilian against West Ham, but I feel Marco Silva’s side can keep the points.

Everton have won more PL games against the Hammers (24) than any other club and Manuel Pellegrini will become the first West Ham manager to lose their first five league games of the season in their history if they lose at Goodison.

Michael’s recommendation: Everton at 37/40

Michael’s weekend treble: Chelsea, Wolves and Everton at 10/3
