Kai Havertz vs Coventry
Despite winning the Premier League last season, Arsenal were not big scorers, averaging 1.9 goals per game.
However, the way they tore Manchester City apart in the Community Shield last weekend suggests the attack may be more fluid this time around.
Newly promoted Coventry are massive underdogs going to the Emirates on opening night, and Mikel Arteta’s men should record a big win to begin their title defence.
Key Stat: Kai Havertz scored a fine goal against City last weekend, to follow up three strikes at the World Cup for Germany.
Pick: Havertz to score (Anytime Duo) @1.98
Bryan Mbeumo vs Hull City
Manchester United have high hopes for the new season under Michael Carrick and have been handed a relatively easy fixture on opening weekend against newly promoted Hull City.
This is precisely the type of game where a big win could provide huge momentum, and with the likes of Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Bruno Fernandes all fit and ready, anything other than a win will be hugely disappointing.
United have not been great in pre-season, winning three out of six games, but Mbeumo carried on his fine form from last season with three goals in four starts.
Key Stat: Bryan Mbeumo scored 11 Premier League goals for Manchester United last season.
Pick: Mbeumo to score (Anytime Duo) @2.25
Joao Pedro vs Fulham
Chelsea won just two of their final 13 league games last season to finish 10th, and new manager Xabi Alonso has a big job on his hands to turn things around.
They travel to Fulham this weekend, another team that went through managerial change, in what should be an exciting London derby.
Despite landing Morgan Rogers for a club-record fee, Chelsea will rely heavily on Brazilian striker Joao Pedro, who scored 20 goals last season and has been on fire in the Blues’ high-scoring pre-season run.
Key Stat: Joao Pedro has scored 7 goals in pre-season.
Pick: Joao Pedro to score (Anytime Duo) @2.25
Erling Haaland vs Bournemouth
Manchester City were disappointing against Arsenal in the Community Shield but should produce an improved performance at home against Bournemouth this weekend.
Enzo Maresca has endured a turbulent start to life as City boss, but will hope to draw from their strong home record, having won 14 of 19 home games last season.
City also averaged a league-high 2.4 goals per game at home, and with Erling Haaland expected to start, we should see them continue that ruthlessness at the Etihad, regardless of the result.
Key Stat: Erling Haaland scored eight goals in his last 10 competitive games for City and added seven goals for Norway at the World Cup.
Pick: Haaland to score anytime @1.75
Harry Kane vs Borussia Dortmund
Bayern Munich face long-time rivals Borussia Dortmund in the Supercup, aiming to land the first piece of silverware of the new season.
Vincent Kompany’s men arrive as reigning Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double winners and will be favourites to win, despite the game being played at Dortmund’s Signal Iduna Park.
Harry Kane remains the deadliest forward in Europe and a real contender for the Ballon d’Or, which makes him an excellent anytime goalscorer pick.
Last season he finished as the Bundesliga’s top scorer with 36 goals for Bayern, and added six more at the World Cup.
Key Stat: Harry Kane has scored 14 goals in his last 14 games.
Pick: Kane to score anytime @1.75
