How to use your free bet this weekend
The Premier League starts on Friday when champions Arsenal begin their defence at home to promoted Coventry City. After that, there are five matches on the Saturday, three on Sunday and one on Monday evening. We are well and truly back.
There's more to English football than the top flight of course, and the EFL kicked off last weekend, but if you do fancy using your free ACCA or Bet Builder in the Premier League, we've got a couple of ideas that stood out at the prices.
Tip 1 - Back Arsenal and Under 2.5 goals @ 2/13.00
Arsenal have won their opening match in each of the last four Premier League seasons, since losing 2-0 to Brentford in 2021-22, and we expect the Gunners to kick off with three points here.
Last season's title was built on solid defence and, with players likely to be a little rusty and/or tired from the World Cup, they may not run up a big score against Frank Lampard's determined promotees.
Back Arsenal and Under 2.5 goals
Tip 2 - Back new Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City managers to make winning starts
Some of the Premier League's biggest clubs are going into the new season under new management so let's combine three of them in a matchday one acca.
Man City host Bournemouth in Enzo Maresca and Marco Rose's first games in charge of their respective new clubs. The Etihad club have won all nine of their Premier League home games against Bournemouth by an aggregate score of 34-6 and we'll take the City boss to be the one to start with three points here .
Newcastle v Liverpool is another match which sees new faces in the dugout as Matthias Jaissle welcomes Andoni Iraola to St James' Park. Newcastle are winless in their last 19 Premier League games against Liverpool (D5 L14) and, of the two, we fancy the Reds to make a winning start.
Fulham v Chelsea is yet another clash of new managers, this time with a distinctly Spanish flavour as Real Madrid's two most recent bosses - Alvaro Arbeloa and Xabi Alonso - go head to head in their respective Premier League debuts. We'll back the Blues to win this west London derby.
