)

Best bet:

Key stat

Brighton v Burnley

: Brighton 2-1 Burnley ()

Best bet:

Key stat

  • Brighton’s Leandro Trossard and Neal Maupay have combined to create six chances for one another in the Premier League this season – the only duo to combine for more are Man City’s Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Agüero (seven).

Manchester United v Leicester City

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: Manchester United boss watches on at Old Trafford

It probably seemed like a long international break for Man United fans, as they wait to bounce back from a three-match winless run.

They face a tough opponent in Leicester, rivals for a top-six finish, and it would be no surprise to see them drop points again.

Despite the Foxes' unbeaten start to the season, the bookies still underrate them here with a general price of at least 3/1 to win and 2/1 on draw no bet.

Given United's unpredictability and the sub plots with Harry Maguire facing his old team, the preference is to avoid the result, instead focusing on Maguire's replacement.

Caglar Soyuncu had big shoes to fill at the King Power and he has so far proved to be up to the task (see his stats and our feature on him here).

The 23-year-old Turkish defender was bought last summer from Freiburg and he had to be patient before getting his chance. All eyes will be on Maguire, but it could be Soyuncu who steals the show with an impressive defensive performance.

He is yet to pick up a yellow card in the Premier League, but got one in the League Cup at Newcastle and also for Turkey in their recent win over Andorra. As classy as he is, he has shown a tendency to make rash decisions and he was lucky not to go in the book against Bournemouth.

The pace of the Cherries' attack did put him to test at times and against the likes of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial he may well leave a trailing leg or commit a cynical foul so, at 3/1, it's worth taking.

: Man United 1-1 Leicester ()

Best bet:

Key stat

  • Manchester United have lost three of their last five Premier League games at Old Trafford (W1 D1), as many as they had lost in their previous 52 at Old Trafford (W32 D17 L3).

Wolves v Chelsea
