Blues and Reds get seasons off to the best start

-

WHAT an incredible beginning to the Premier League season we have just witnessed and it was a great start on many levels for our Manchester clubs.

I had to trim them both up for the title after impressive wins, especially with Chelsea and Liverpool dropping points unexpected­ly.

We will get more clues to both United’s and City’s title credential­s this weekend, and you can watch both games live in my Betfred shops.

Jose Mourinho’s men can extend their early Premier League lead with a win at the Liberty Stadium against Swansea at lunchtime today.

Last season United put two consecutiv­e losses in South Wales behind them by easing to a 3-1 victory with a super strike from Paul Pogba opening the scoring. Pogba is a 7/1 to score the first goal and 3/1 to score anytime in the 90 minutes.

Ten out of the last 11 games between United and Swansea have seen both teams scoring, so have a look at my Goals Galore coupons. This game is priced at 6/5 for both to hit the net again.

On Monday night Pep Guardiola’s side welcome Everton to the Etihad. This game has ended in a draw for the past two seasons and the Toffees are becoming a thorn in the side of City.

Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus both started at Brighton last weekend, but it was the Argentinia­n who got the opening goal. He is 4/5 to score on the night.

This game will also see Wayne Rooney return to Manchester. He is 4/1 to get on the scoresheet.

Hopefully this weekend’s games are just as entertaini­ng as the opening matches. I am so glad the Premier League is back.
