Premier League 26/27 Matchday 1 Betting Picks | The EPL Show (EP. 301)

The EPL is Back! The new Premier League season kicks off tomorrow, and Billi gives you all the actionable betting information you need for the opening weekend. Arsenal open their defence at home to Coventry City, who won promotion by landing the Championship title last season. The Sky Blues have invested heavily over the summer and look to have put together a squad that has a decent chance of avoiding an immediate return to the second tier – but they are starting the new season with, what is on paper, the toughest possible test.

The game of the weekend will arguably take place on Sunday afternoon, as Newcastle host Liverpool. Both Liverpool and Newcastle are coming to terms with changes in the dugout, but it seems that Andoni Iraola’s move to Anfield has gone a lot smoother than Matthias Jaissle's 11th hour appointment. Newcastle have had a tumultuous summer with the departure of stars Sandro Tonali, Anthony Gordon and Bruno Guimaraes. However, Manager Eddie Howe, the man who took the north-east outfit back into the Champions League, may prove to be their biggest loss. The cloth has been cut and it has left them in a difficult position, so the visit of Liverpool, a team who they have failed to beat in their last 19 league meetings, is far from an ideal start to the new campaign.
