Christos Tzolis Over 0.5 Assists

Christos Tzolis has already made an instant impact at new club Arsenal, having registered two assists in the 3-0 Community Shield win over Manchester City last weekend.

The winger caught Arsenal's eye following an exceptional 2025/26 campaign for Club Brugge, during which he accumulated 51 goal involvements in 52 games in all competitions, including 29 assists.

The Greek will now be gunning to impress on his Premier League debut for the club, with Virgin Bet offering odds of 21/10 for an assist against new boys Covenrty.

Bobby Thomas to be Booked

Coventry couldn't have been handed a togher fixture upon their return to the Premier League. Frank Lampard's troops are likely to face wave after wave of attack from the defending champions, who brushed aside Man City in the Community Shield.

Bobby Thomas could be one to keep an eye on in the cards market at 3/1 with bet365. The defender picked up eight yellow cards last season and was also sent off against Birmingham.
