Soccer Treble at 5/1 Tottenham WIN 1/1 – Chelsea WIN 6/10 – Bournemout­h WIN

19/20 Newcastle v Tottenham (AWAY WIN) 1/1 – Tottenham Hotspur make the trip to Tyneside where they battle it out with Rafael Benitez’s Newcastle United. Spurs announced last month that they will be playing their first four matches of the season away from home owing to their stadium still being under constructi­on. Mauricio Pochettino will welcome back many of his firstteam players who missed preseason preparatio­ns due to their World Cup exploits. The likes of Harry Kane, Kieran Trippier and World Cup winning captain Hugo Lloris are all expected to return. Newcastle have used the transfer market quite well, signing Yoshinori Muto, Ki Sung-yueng and Fabian Schar, while also capturing Kenedy on another season-long loan and Martin Dubravka on a permanent contract. Despite Newcastle’s decent transfer business, Tottenham are still tipped to edge it at even money.

Huddersfie­ld v Chelsea (AWAY WIN) 6/10 – A new era awaits for Chelsea as they begin their transition from a defensive and cautious approach to a fast-paced and fluid passing game.

All eyes will be on Maurizio Sarri and his team this Saturday as he looks to replicate what former Blues boss, Antonio Conte, did and win the league title in his first season at the helm. Huddersfie­ld went to Stamford Bridge and got a point last term, but at home they succumbed to a 3-1 defeat. After the Chelsea game, the Terriers travel to face Manchester City, so they will be hoping to cause some major upsets in the early stages of the season. Sarri will be hoping to instil his philosophy from the first game of the campaign and, after witnessing what his Napoli side was capable of, Chelsea can expect great things to come from their head coach in the future. Back the Blues here at 6/10.

Bournemout­h v Cardiff

City (HOME WIN) 19/20 – Bournemout­h have been one of the surprise packages for a number of years now as Eddie Howe begins his fourth season in the top flight with the Cherries. The 40-year-old boss has got the club playing an exciting brand of football, but there has, however, always been that sense of uncertaint­y surroundin­g their leaky defence.

Cardiff City haven’t done much to silence their doubters in the transfer market thus far, with not one of their new recruits coming from a top flight team. Neil Warnock has a remarkable record of getting teams into the Premier League, doing so for a record eighth time. It’s staying in the league that Warnock has struggled with. Bournemout­h are a top bet here at 19/20.
