Bet Builder Tips: 11/1 double for Sunday's Premier League fixtures
It’s Gameweek 5 in the Premier League and @AnthonyEadson is on hand to provide us with his best Premier League Bet Builder Tips for Sunday.
Two selections have caught the eye and I’m recommending a double which pays just north of 11/1 with either Paddy Power or Betfair and can be backed by clicking the link below.

Ronaldo to score - 10/11 Paddy Power
It’s been a crazy couple of weeks for Manchester United fans with the return of their beloved Cristiano Ronaldo. Old Trafford witnessed one of the best atmospheres in many years last week as the legend returned and made his second debut for the club 12 years after leaving. Ronaldo was on the scoresheet twice against Newcastle in that game and he looked as hungry as ever, slotting home a tap-in for his first but before sliding his second through the legs of Freddie Woodman in the Newcastle goal.
Ronaldo’s records and statistics are well known and he’s just 14 goals off joining the Premier League 100 club, which will be in his sights along with some silverware for Solskjaer’s side. CR7 also found the net on Tuesday for the 135th time in just 177 appearances and I’m fancying him to score against West Ham on Sunday.
David Moyes' team travelled to Zagreb on Thursday evening and I do think United will have a bit of an edge in terms of being a little more prepared for this game with their European fixture taking place on Tuesday. Ronaldo let off six shots against Newcastle in Gameweek 4 and he’s showing no sign of slowing down in terms of testing keepers, letting off an average of 5.1 shots per game for Juventus last season before an average of 7 per game for Portugal at the Euros. Last season’s Serie A top scorer, and possibly the greatest ever to play the game, I’m happy to back him at an industry best-price of 10/11 to find the net on Sunday with Betfair or Paddy Power.
Reece James Anytime Assist - 11/2 Paddy Power
Chelsea travel across London to take on Spurs in one of the stand out fixtures on this weekend’s slate. Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea have made a good start to the campaign with three wins from their first four matches and will be keen to claim all three points here after only managing a draw at Anfield in their most recent away fixture.
Reece James was sent off in that match just before half time, with the 21-year-old already having provided an assist for Kai Havertz’s goal to open the scoring. I backed James at 7/1 to register an assist in that game and I’m going back in again, this time at 11/2.
A return from suspension to the starting XI should be on the cards this weekend and with him having registered an assist in each of his only two starts this term, which both came away from home, at Arsenal and Liverpool, I’m happy to back him once again. Only eight players have totalled more Expected Assists than the Chelsea man this season with 1.1xA with all the names above him having played considerably more minutes.
That’s just over 11/1 for those playing the double on Sunday. Best of luck to anyone following and please always gamble responsibly.
