Premier League

Chelsea enjoyed a better start to the Premier League season than Arsenal, but there is not much between these teams on our overall Trueform chart. It is also worth noting that they met five times in all competitions last term and the Gunners did not taste defeat in any of those head-to-head encounters. More...

Newcastle showed enough promise in their opening loss to Tottenham to suggest they can prove a cut above Premier League new boys Cardiff in Wales. City were soundly beaten at Bournemouth on their return to the top flight and are odds-on to go straight back down at the end of the season. More...

West Ham had to endure a chastening experience at Liverpool, but their overall Trueform chart puts them on a similar level to Bournemouth. These teams are also evenly matched on past head-to-head meetings, with two wins apiece and a couple of draws coming from their last six encounters. More...

Tottenham must play one more home game at Wembley before their new stadium is ready but can still brush aside Premier League new boys Fulham. The visitors celebrated their return to the top flight with a summer spending spree but were given a reality check when losing to Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage. More...

Leicester earned plenty of plaudits for their performance in defeat at Manchester United and may just be too strong for Wolves at King Power Stadium. Wanderers marked their Premier League return with an entertaining draw against Everton on home turf but this is a tricky first away fixture back in the top flight. More...

Everton and Southampton both picked up a point last week but the Merseyside outfit made a far more encouraging start to the new Premier League season. The Toffees overcame a contentious red card to draw 2-2 at Wolves in an entertaining encounter, while Saints were involved in a low-key goalless stalemate with Burnley. More...

We've picked out selections from England's top four divisions for this Saturday's football accumulator tips and will collect an 8/1-plus pay-out if they all oblige. Don't fret if one of the legs lets you down because bwin's five-team acca insurance comes into play if a single selection goes astray. More...

Crystal Palace opened their Premier League campaign with a useful win at Fulham, but Liverpool were more impressive when thrashing West Ham. That ties in with last season's head-to-head form, with the Reds being pushed hard by the Eagles but coming out on top by a single-goal margin in both meetings. More...

We're tracking the Premier League outright winner odds for 2018/19 and will continue to update our power rankings for the top six contenders.

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has been trimmed to 4/1 in bwin's Premier League top scorer odds after striking the first blow among the leading contenders. Last season's Golden Boot winner took just 19 minutes to get off the mark in the Reds' 4-0 romp against West Ham at Anfield. More...

Arsenal will begin life after Arsene Wenger by taking on Premier League champions Manchester City and would no doubt settle for an Emirates Stadium stalemate. The Blues started fast in last season's record-breaking campaign, but the World Cup may affect their early preparations this term. More...

Liverpool go into the new Premier League season as second favourites to end their long wait for a first title since 1990 and can make a bright start versus West Ham. The Reds have a settled squad, whereas the Hammers may take time to get going after a summer shake-up. More...

Southampton had to survive a big relegation scare last term and will be determined to hit the ground running when kicking off the new Premier League campaign by hosting Burnley. The Clarets exceeded all expectations by finishing seventh but now have the distraction of Europa League action. More...

St James’ Park will be rocking for Newcastle’s clash with Tottenham on the opening weekend of the new Premier League campaign and we fancy a minor surprise here. The Magpies enjoyed eight home wins last season, with Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea among their victims, and could catch Spurs cold. More...

Wolves were a class apart in the Championship last season and are expected to adapt well to life in the Premier League, starting with a home game against Everton. Wanderers ultimately finished nine points clear at the top of the table and have continued to spend big on new talent. More...

Huddersfield ensured their top-flight survival when picking up a point at Stamford Bridge in May and can begin the new campaign with another draw against Chelsea in Yorkshire. The Blues slipped to fifth place last season and will be keen to bounce back, but a change of manager may mean it takes time to regroup. More...

Watford and Brighton took part in two tight Premier League tussles last season and another cagey contest is on the cards when they open up this term. There were no goals in a Vicarage Road clash just under 12 months ago, while only a Pascal Gross strike separated them at Amex Stadium. More...

Fulham's reward for a gutsy triumph in the Championship play-offs begins with the visit of Crystal Palace and a draw wouldn't be a bad result for them. The Eagles have an edge in class but lost their first seven Premier League matches last season and may settle for getting off to a steady start. More...

Bournemouth lost their first four Premier League fixtures last season, so Eddie Howe will be eager to make the most of starting out with a home game against Cardiff this term. The newly-promoted Bluebirds are favourites to go straight back down after upsetting the odds when finishing second in the Championship. More...

Leicester went through a rocky patch late on last season but then finished strongly enough to suggest they can be competitive against Manchester United in Friday's Premier League opener. The Foxes closed with a 3-1 defeat of Arsenal and led twice in a thrilling 5-4 defeat against Tottenham at Wembley. More...

Jose Mourinho has emerged as a surprise favourite to be the next top-flight manager to leave his post in bwin's Premier League sack race odds.
