Hull City vs Manchester United, Saturday 12.30pm

Can Michael Carrick turn last season's third-place finish into something sustainable and does the squad have enough depth to carry them through what will be a relentless schedule? I've got doubts.

Carrick has a squad packed with attacking quality, while adding greater technical ability and physicality in midfield. He also appears to have created a more flexible possession structure.

But United still have issues about preventing games becoming chaotic and offering up chances to the opposition. Under Carrick they averaged 1.5 expected goals against per 90 last season - but only conceded 1.05 goals per game.

Even in pre-season, their collapse against AC Milan offered a warning that not much has changed in that regard.

Fuelled by their strong start to the season, Hull can add to the goals in what promises to be a high-scoring encounter. Both teams to score looks a solid play at 10/11 with Sky Bet.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-3

Everton vs Crystal Palace, Saturday 3pm - PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was outstanding in pre-season, earning the penalty from which Iliman Ndiaye scored in the 1-1 draw with Lille and was named man of the match. This isn't a surprise based on what we saw from him last season for Everton where he ranked 11th for all midfielders in the Premier League for goals and assists per 90 at 0.41.

Over 300,000 Super 6 entrants are expecting a tight game and predicting it to be 2-1 to the Toffees

His relentless energy gives David Moyes a midfielder who can arrive late in the box, press and carry the ball forward. He is 11/8 with Sky Bet to score or assist in a game Everton will fancy taking maximum points from.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-0

Nottingham Forest vs Leeds, Saturday 3pm - PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!

Morgan Gibbs-White was phenomenal towards the end of last season, finishing with 15 Premier League goals and scoring seven in his last six games. The change of manager is an exciting one for Gibbs-White's numbers this season.

Tactically, Gibbs-White is perfect for the two attacking-midfielder positions behind the striker that Oliver Glasner likes to employ. And when Glasner gets his hands on a talented forward playing his vertical style, the result is usually a huge improvement in goal returns for that player.

Gibbs-White can get off the mark here at 9/4 with Sky Bet in the anytime goalscorer market.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1

Ipswich vs Sunderland, Saturday 3pm

Second season syndrome could be about to bite Sunderland, especially with the added stress of a European campaign to negotiate.

Since Leicester won the Premier League title in 2016, non 'big six' teams who undertake a European campaign following a season of no European football on average take 12.5 fewer points in the next season.

The extra workload and potential prioritisation of the European competition later in the season do have a negative impact on Premier League form. Even if looking at last season in isolation provides a great snapshot of the issue with Newcastle (-17), Nottingham Forest (-21) and Crystal Palace (-8) all regressing their league form while competing in Europe.

They also overachieved by 13 points last season based on Opta's expected goals model and were a bottom three team based on those metrics. The last seven teams to have finished five or more places higher than their expected finishing position have suffered regression in terms of their league position in the next season.

Sunderland look a bet to be relegated at 3/1 with Sky Bet and Ipswich might just set the tone for the season ahead with a home win at 8/5 with Sky Bet.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-1

Brentford vs Tottenham, Saturday 5.30pm, live on Sky Sports - PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!

Roberto De Zerbi is one of the most exciting yet volatile managers in world football. He makes Spurs a thrilling prospect this season, but Micky van de Ven's absence for the opener creates opportunities for those looking to side with Brentford.

You don't want a brand-new centre-back partnership facing Igor Thiago, Kevin Schade and Dango Ouattara in the first competitive match of the season. Especially when Tottenham are likely to defend with a high line while trying to dominate possession. De Zerbi's possession game should create opportunities for Brentford's transition tactics.

Goals look on the menu so backing the Bees to score over 1.5 goals at evens rates as a tasty angle.

SCORE PREDICTION: 3-2

Brighton vs Aston Villa, Sunday 2pm, live on Sky Sports - PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!

Brighton have spent the summer refining while Aston Villa have spent it rebuilding.

That explains why the Seagulls are being priced up as the favourites at 6/5 with Sky Bet.

However, Unai Emery has been through this kind of rebuild before and is renowned for his consistency and ability to overcome the loss of key players. Since taking over at Valencia in 2008/09, he has finished every season in the top seven of the league he has managed in - 15 out of 15, with an average finishing position of 4.3.

It makes the argument for him being the best pound-for-pound manager in the league right now very watertight. With Emery in their corner, I'm going to be backing Villa to win games a lot this season - starting here on the draw no bet at 5/4 with Sky Bet.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2

Manchester City vs Bournemouth, Sunday 2pm, live on Sky Sports - PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!

Marco Rose is about as logical a replacement as Bournemouth could have found. His Red Bull background should preserve the aggressive pressing, vertical attacking and willingness to turn matches into transition battles. Crucially, he was appointed early enough to oversee a proper handover rather than having to start from scratch in August.

I'm expecting Bournemouth to be ready to go here while Manchester City's new system is still bedding in without Pep Guardiola.

Both teams to score in a game where the goals go over 3.5 is an option to consider at 5/4 with Sky Bet through their BuildABet function.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-2

Newcastle vs Liverpool, Sunday 4.30pm, live on Sky Sports - PLAY SUPER 6 HERE!

Alexander Isak is walking back into the lion's den.

A year ago, the Swedish striker detonated the situation with Newcastle by declaring that his relationship with the club "cannot continue", citing broken promises and a lack of trust. What followed was an acrimonious £130m move to Liverpool and a summer of fury on Tyneside.

The interesting betting angle isn't whether he scores.

It's whether Newcastle kick him. And Sky Bet offer a "to be fouled" market, which is the perfect way to attack an Isak bet.

His historical fouls-won numbers are actually quite low, which explains why the bookmakers have priced this market so generously. We can get [10/11] on him being fouled once or more and [4/1] on two or more. Both are fantastic wagers as the market is pricing Isak's usual foul-winning profile. It isn't pricing the narrative.

Isak is going to have a target on his back.

Every time he gets the ball, the noise will go up. Every time he turns a Newcastle defender, there will be a reaction.

And if one of Newcastle's midfielders or defenders clatters into him?

St James' Park will erupt.

There is an incredibly easy way for a Newcastle player to get the crowd involved: put Isak on the floor.

I'm not suggesting anything premeditated, but rather the natural aggression that comes with a fiercely competitive opening-day game, amplified by an atmosphere that is likely to be particularly hostile towards one man.

Fulham vs Chelsea, Monday 8pm, live on Sky Sports

Chelsea have appointed a manager in Xabi Alonso with a proper, recognisable football philosophy rather than another coach who will simply try to get the best out of the existing squad. His work at Bayer Leverkusen shows the real Alonso and he can be forgiven for being swallowed up by the Real Madrid circus.

To get the Blues competitive in a season when they have the advantage of no extra games is hardly an impossible task. They could even emerge as Arsenal's closest challengers. If that is to be the case, then winning away at a Fulham side now shrouded in uncertainty over their future would be a significant step. Marco Silva provided tactical clarity, Premier League know-how and, at the very least, the security of consistent mid-table finishes. With that safety net gone, Fulham are now playing a risky game.

Chelsea look one of the good things of the weekend at 17/20 with Sky Bet.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2 | JONES KNOWS' BEST BET: Chelsea to win (17/20 with Sky Bet)

Friday's prediction & best bets...

Arsenal vs Coventry

Arsenal look ready to go again. They are the team to beat.

And this is a lovely pipe opener for the season, where they are 1/6 with Sky Bet to get off to a winning start against the new boys. It should be relatively straightforward.

For a betting angle, Myles Lewis-Skelly is being seen as a genuine central midfielder now and, in the seven games he has started in that position, he has averaged 4.3 foul involvements (fouls won + fouls committed) per 90.

The four-or-more line has landed in six of those seven matches and it's a great bet to land again at 10/11 with Sky Bet.

Coventry have deliberately added power and athleticism to their midfield ahead of their return to the Premier League which bodes well for fouls in central areas. Frank Onyeka, on loan last season, is the obvious example. He averaged 2.5 fouls drawn per 90 last season, while club-record signing Caleb Yirenkyi brings another energetic, aggressive presence into the middle of the pitch.

Lewis-Skelly will be in the thick of it.

SCORE PREDICTION: 3-0 ✅ | JONES KNOWS' BEST BET: Myles Lewis-Skelly +4 foul involvements (10/11 with Sky Bet) ✅

Jones Knows' best bets...

Tottenham are closing in on signing Manchester City pair Savinho and Omar Marmoush.

Spurs have agreed an £85m deal for Savinho, which will see them pay an initial £75m for the Brazil international, with a further £10m available in add-ons.

It is understood that £5m of the potential bonuses are effectively guaranteed, meaning City could receive at least £80m from the deal.

The 22-year-old is scheduled to have a medical with Tottenham on Friday afternoon.

Spurs are also very close to agreeing a deal for City forward Marmoush, with advanced negotiations ongoing and progressing in the right direction.

It is understood the Egypt international is on board with the move to north London.

Tottenham have already spent more than £200m on six first-team players this summer. They spent £185m on two midfielders, Sandro Tonali and Matheus Fernandes, from Newcastle and West Ham respectively.

Jan Paul van Hecke joined from Brighton for £52m to replace Cristian Romero.

Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson and Martin Dubravka all arrived on free transfers.

Meanwhile, Savinho's potential sale would be a club record for Man City, surpassing Julian Alvarez's £82m move to Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2024.

Savinho, who has played a bit-part role since joining Manchester City in 2024, started only seven of his 24 Premier League appearances last season, in which he scored once and set up two goals.

How are Spurs spending so much money?

At the start of the transfer window, Sky Sports News' Michael Bridge explained how Spurs are able to spend big this summer...

"We're told there are absolutely no concerns about falling foul of the Premier League's financial rules.

"The club is in great financial health after qualifying for Europe in 18 of the last 20 seasons. The revenue driven by the stadium is huge: boxing, concerts, NFL games - you name it.

"In fact, in the Deloitte Money League, the rankings show that Tottenham Hotspur have leapfrogged Chelsea to become the ninth richest club in the world with annual revenues of £549.2m.

"On top of that, Spurs are one of the clubs to benefit most from the Premier League's shift to squad cost ratio from PSR, which has just come into effect. But the reason we're seeing Spurs spend so much is a shift in strategy under new leadership.

"Daniel Levy left at the start of last season, and there's a real desire to spend the money to dine at the very top table.

"Now the new leadership and the owners promised fans, after avoiding relegation on the final day, that they would spend the club's revenue on the first team, and they are delivering on that."

Maresca: Savinho wanted to leave from day one

Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca has admitted that Savinho had made it clear all summer that he wanted to leave the Etihad.

Maresca prepares for a first season in charge of City following the departure of Pep Guardiola, who oversaw the club's most successful period over nine years.

In preparation, Maresca has seen the likes of Ballon d'Or and World Cup-winning midfielder Rodri join Barcelona, while an agreement is in place to see Savinho move to Tottenham, with Omar Marmoush also linked to the north London club.

Asked whether he tried to convince Rodri to stay, Maresca said:

"It is quite clear when the player wants to leave, then it is complicated to convince them to stay.

"It happened with Rodri and the same thing is happening with Savinho.

"Since day one, he has asked me that he wants to leave. So now we are waiting. But it's complicated.

"When the player is thinking that they need a new challenge, or they want to change because they probably want to go back to Spain, or they want to play more minutes or for a different reason. It becomes complicated then to convince them to stay."

'City will want to replace Savinho and Marmoush'

Sky Sports News' Ben Ransom:

"Both players [Savinho and Marmoush] are essentially surplus to requirements at Manchester City. It's been pretty apparent through the summer. Enzo Maresca has said that in the case of both players, they are very much entitled to stay and fight for their first-team place.

"But equally he understands, a bit like James Trafford, when a player wants to play first-team football and they're not guaranteed the starting shirt, then the club, if they receive an offer that's acceptable, will not stand in their way. That applies to both players.

"City would need to replace these players. They would definitely, I'd say, have to replace one. They would like to and would aim to replace two.

"But the transfer window is closing in less than a fortnight. These are big positions to fill so late in the window."

Brentford vs Spurs team news

Mamadou Sangare is in line to make his Premier League debut for Brentford, while head coach Keith Andrews has confirmed fellow new signings Jannik Schuster, Jaidon Anthony and Callum Wilson could also feature.

Sepp van den Berg and Antoni Milambo will miss the opening weeks of the season.

Roberto De Zerbi has named Micky van de Ven as Tottenham's new captain, but the Dutchman will miss Saturday's game along with Pedro Porro.

Pape Sarr, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, Xavi Simons and Mo Kudus all remain sidelined.
