The 2026/27 English Premier League season kicks off with 10 exciting games. Defending champions Arsenal are strong favourites against Coventry, while Manchester United are expected to outplay Hull City. Man City, Liverpool, and Brighton also have favourable odds, but several fixtures offer excellent value for draw or home win bets, especially Everton vs Crystal Palace and Brentford vs Tottenham. Punters are advised to consider recent pre-season form and the odds provided, as upsets and draws are possibilities in this promising opening weekend.

The 2026/27 English Premiership campaign kicks off this weekend with a full round of 10 matches, with a number of sides tipped strongly for a win. 


English Premier League Gameweek 1 Odds


Arsenal vs Coventry

A brutal Premier League return for Coventry playing away to defending champs Arsenal who just crushed City 3-0 in the Community Shield. Coventry have had a good pre-season but the odds are stacked high in Arsenal’s favour at 1.17. 

Hull City vs Man United

Promoted Hull aren’t easy at home, but United are strong and are pitched in the early odds at 1.39 for an away win.

Everton vs Crystal Palace

Two teams with up and down seasons but with plenty of strength. Good value for the draw at 3.40.

Ipswich Town vs Sunderland

The Tractor Boys will fancy themselves after four pre-season wins, but Sunderland are favourably back at 2.50 for the away win.

Nottingham Forest vs Leeds

Forest have been strong in pre-season despite three losses while Leeds have four wins in five. Tough to call so perhaps the odds of 3.40 for a draw will be most tempting.

Brentford vs Tottenham

Brentford won their last pre-season match 7-0 at home to Eintracht Frankfurt, so with home ground advantage they are worth backing at odds of 3.40 for the win.

Brighton vs Aston Villa

Brighton are backed in the early at 2.20 for a home win, partly on the back of winning their last three pre-season matches while Villa have lost their last three. 

Man City vs Bournemouth

Forget the Community Shield blow-out… City at home should bombard Bournemouth and are huge favourites at 1.44 for the win.

Newcastle vs Liverpool

Newcastle have failed to live up to expectations in the last two years. Liverpool’s poor title defence will mean nothing as they are well favoured for the away win at 1.93

Fulham vs Chelsea

No odds available yet for the London derby. Chelsea finished 10th last season, one spot above Fulham. The Cottagers have had a better pre-season so a draw could be on the cards in a fixture which each side has two wins from in their last four meetings.
