Saturday 9/19 EPL Slate “Matchweek 2/38”

We are back for Matchweek Two, and this slates features three decent home favorites in Manchester United, Arsenal, and Leeds United.

Manchester United is the biggest favorite on the slate at -335, hosting Crystal Palace at Old Trafford. Aside from a possible appearance from recent signing from Ajax, Donny Van De Beek, most of the lineup is unchanged from last season. This is a Manchester United team that made a lot of strides over the second half of last year. Particularly after the Bruno Fernandes signing, as he helped to fill the playmaking void this team previously lacked. There is not a lot of DFS goodness for Manchester United aside from the attack, but Bruno, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, and Anthony Martial should all be popular.

Arsenal comes in next at -200 hosting West Ham, coming off a humiliating home loss to Newcastle. Their big addition over the off season was Willian, formerly of Chelsea. Arsenal are hoping that he can help fill the role of facilitator, helping to feed the likes of Pierre Emerick-Aubemeyang, Alexandre Lacazette, and youngster Eddie Nkietah. The former two are likely to start alongside Willian and Aubemeyang has the slates highest scoring odds at -152. Therefore, you can expect to see a lot of PEA on both sites as he is likely the most popular forward option.

The Betting Game Plan

You can certainly roll with another one of the two favorites mentioned above, Manchester United -335 and Arsenal at -200. However, we get a little bit more juice odds wise pivoting from them with Leeds United.

Leeds had beat up Fulham 3-0 at home last season down in the second division. After a strong showing against Liverpool, they should be able to take care of business here. Furthermore, they have an extremely strong record over the last two years against teams they are favored against. Nonetheless, I think they get overlooked by bettors and DFS players alike, in favor of the more familiar faces.
