PREMIER LEAGUE: The new Premier League season gets underway on Friday evening with ARSENAL v LEICESTER CITY. We preview the match with a recommended BETDAQ bet.
ARSENAL V LEICESTER CITY
7.45pm After a long summer of no football, we finally kick off the new Premier League season on Friday night with Arsenal at home to Leicester! This is actually the sixth season in a row that Arsenal have played their first game of the season at home, however from the last five – they’ve only managed one win!
So, maybe by 9-45pm on Friday night, we could have Arsenal fans calling for Wenger to leave and we’ll only be a few hours into the season! Despite that poor record first time out, it’s difficult to see anything but an Arsenal win here given how poor Leicester played away from home last season.
The odds at the time of writing currently stand at; Arsenal 1.55, Leicester 7.0 and the draw is 4.6. If anything the 1.55 on Arsenal looks big – they did well to come back from 1-0 in the Community Shield at the weekend against Chelsea, albeit they had a man advantage towards the end of the game. However, we just can’t get away from Leicester’s record away from home last season, especially against the teams who finished in the top half of the table. Until we see an improvement from Leicester away from home it’s hard to support them in the markets, and Arsenal at 1.55 looks a few ticks too big.
