A stuffed week of football continues – but will the Premier League continue to throw up mad results? And what should football spread betting fans be watching? It’s the Sports Spread Bets of the Day!

When was the last time Aston Villa won their first 5 Premier League games?
Villa are on the precipice of something historic. If they beat Leeds this Friday, at 8pm on BT Sport Box Office, they will’ve won their opening 5 Premier League games for the first time in their history in the rebranded top flight.

They have had unbeaten openings – 7 games in 11/12, 9 in 06/07, 7 in 01/02, and 12 in 98/99 – but never have they maintained a 100% record. It’s worth noting that they perhaps have benefited in this regard from their initial opener at Man City being postponed. But then again, they did beat Liverpool 7-2.

Where will Aston Villa finish this season? Early favourites to go down, now they’re at a Season Points spread of 51-52.5, and a Finishing Positions spread of 9.75-11.25 – the biggest turnaround of any team so far. And where will Leeds finish this season? They’re just behind Villa, at a Finishing Positions spread of 10.5-12.

On 5 goals in 7 games, what are the odds on Ollie Watkins scoring against Leeds? He is at a PGM spread of 25-28.

As for the game itself, SpreadEX are offering an Aston Villa/Leeds Goal Supremacy spread of 0.25-0.45, and a Total Goals spread of 2.95-3.15.

What are the odds on Man City winning the league?
Now that Liverpool are missing Virgil van Dijk, Man City are back as odds on favourites for the title at 17/20, with a Season Points spread of 84-85.5 – way ahead of the Reds at 78-79.5.

Their next challenge is a trip to West Ham this Saturday, at 12.30pm on BT Sport 1.

It’s been a good week for City, beating Arsenal 1-0 last Saturday before winning 3-1 against Porto in their Champions League opener.

Like Villa, West Ham have surpassed expectations this season, with wins over Wolves and Leicester, and last weekend’s late comeback against Spurs.

They are firm underdogs on Saturday, however, with SpreadEX offering a Man City/West Ham (h) Goal Supremacy spread of 1.3-1.5, alongside a Total Goal Minutes spread of 169-184.

What are the odds on Chelsea beating Man United?
In the biggest game of the weekend, even if neither side are near the top of the table, Man United host Chelsea at 5.30pm on Sky Sports Premier League.

Though Man United’s woes are far greater than Chelsea’s, the Blues are still struggling to produce a cohesive whole from all their shiny new parts. So while United won 2-1 away to PSG, Lampard’s lot only managed a goalless draw at home to Sevilla.

Marcus Rashford was the hero in Paris. What are the odds on Rashford scoring against Chelsea? He is at a PGM spread of 21-24 and a SMM spread of 33-39. And what are the odds on Timo Werner scoring against Man United? He is at the same PGM spread of 21-24, but has a SMM spread of 32-38.

Going in Saturday, SpreadEX is looking for a home win, just, at a Man United/Chelsea Goal Supremacy spread of 0.05-0.25.

What are the odds on Sadio Mane scoring against Sheffield United?
Narrowly beating Ajax away, Liverpool next host Sheffield United, at 8pm this Saturday on Sky Sports Box Office.

Last season’s surprise package are struggling to live up to their new reputation, with 1 point in 5 games. What are the odds on Sheffield being relegated? They are at a Season Points spread of 35.5-37, shared with Burnley and above only West Brom and Fulham.

Maybe the key presence for the Reds – his absence was felt against Villa – Sadio Mane is heading into the weekend at a PGM spread of 31-34, compared to Salah at 39-43.

That pairing should have fun on Saturday, with SpreadEX offering a Liverpool/Sheffield United Goal Supremacy spread of 1.75-1.95, alongside a Total Goals spread of 3.2-3.4.

What are the best bets for Arsenal v Leicester?
Maybe the most notable game stuck on Sky Sports Box Office so far, Arsenal and Leicester – both needing to course-correct their Premier League season – face-off at 7.15pm this Sunday.

They are neck-and-neck in the league, on 9 points apiece, but with the Foxes having a slightly better goal difference. They are also both coming off Thursday night Europa League wins, though Leicester’s 3-0 victory against Zorya Luhansk was more impressive than Arsenal’s 2-1 comeback in Vienna.

In terms of their heralded forwards, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is at a PGM spread of 30-33, compared to Jamie Vardy at 20-23. And with 4 of Vardy’s 5 goals from the spot, a Penalty Goal Minutes spread of 17-20 could be worth a watch.

The hosts are favourites going into Sunday, at an Arsenal/Leicester Goal Supremacy spread of 0.45-0.65 and a Total Goals spread of 2.75-2.95.
