Bet 1: Leicester @ 8/11
The Foxes may have lost their season opener at Arsenal, but the performance they put on during the 4-3 defeat shows that they should be in for a decent campaign.
Craig Shakespeare revived their fortunes when he replaced Claudio Ranieri last year and even though he's not done much business in the transfer market, he still has Danny Drinkwater, Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez at the club - for now at least.
Other than a 6-1 thrashing to Spurs, Shakespeare led the team to six good results at the King Power - five wins and a final day draw. They have made their home a bit of a fortress and that should continue this year.
Brighton put up a spirited performance in their 2-0 loss against Man City last weekend and Chris Hughton would have been proud of his players. They never really looked like threatening City though and a trip to Leicester isn't the ideal follow-up.
Bet 2: Liverpool @ 4/11
I am usually loathed to include Liverpool at such a short price but given how bad Crystal Palace were last week, it's almost impossible to see the Eagles taking anything from Anfield.
Not only does Frank de Boer have to deal with the embarrassing 3-0 defeat to Huddersfield, he also has to cope without star man, Wilfried Zaha.
The team didn't appear to cope with their new 'Ajax' style of play last week and you can only do so much work in seven days.
Liverpool were involved in midweek action and they handed Hoffenheim their first home defeat in well over a year. They again looked a bit shaky at the back, but it's worth noting that they finished the last campaign with two home clean sheets, and even if they do concede, they have more than enough firepower to blow Palace away.
Bet 3: The Draw in Burnley v West Brom @ 11/5
The third and final leg features two teams who won their opening fixture last week as Burnley pulled off a shock 3-2 win at Chelsea, while West Brom churned out a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth.
The Clarets were incredibly strong at Turf Moor last year and they needed to be given their dismal away record. I know that they won away last week, but that was a crazy game and I do fear for Sean Dyche's men.
The Baggies were written off a bit last weekend but I quite strongly fancied them and I included them in the treble. I appreciate that they finished the year really poorly last time, but they already had the points in the bag by then.
These two met here in May and the score was 2-2. It wouldn't surprise me if we got a repeat today.
