The Premier League returns this week for a handful of fixtures on Tuesday through Thursday. La Liga is also in action with two make up games on Tuesday.

Here is a highlight of what went on the last time the Premier League was in action:

  • Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Leicester all took care of business against lesser opponents.
  • Brighton and Wolves drew 3-3 at the American Express Arena in one of the crazier games of the Premier League season.
  • Manchester City defeated Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge, moving them up to fifth place in the table.
  • Liverpool were upset 1-0 at Southampton and now are tied on points with Manchester United and the Red Devils have a game in hand.

Every Premier League squad was in action this weekend for the FA Cup, so  managers will rotate their squads to rest certain players. Therefore, it may be a good idea to wait until starting lineups come out before heading to the window.

You can use these projections to identify early betting value on the opening lines, and follow me in The Action Network App to see any bets I make throughout the week.

  • Burnley vs. Manchester United: Manchester can go to the top of the Premier League table with a win or draw. The Red Devils have won eight of their last ten matches and are outscoring their opponents 24-11. After a horrible start to the season, Burnley has caught fire, especially at home, winning three of their last four matches at Turf Moor.
  • Manchester City vs. Brighton: The Cityzens are starting to round into their dominant form, winning their last three matches. Brighton on the other hand are the kings of the draw, as they have eight already on the season. Manchester City has beaten Brighton six straight times by a combined score of 20 to 2.
