Premier League Gameweek 4 Betting Tips: Four bets including huge 8/1 price
After the final long weekend of the year, Gameweek 4 of the relatively fresh Premier League season is already upon us. Between another Friday Night Football offering and an appropriately titled Super Sunday clash, we're back to offer up our best bets for this week's action.
Luton Town vs West Ham
- Friday 1st September, 8pm, Sky Sports Main Event
Acting as the main piece of connective tissue between defence and attack in a midfield three alongside Marvelous Nakamba and Ross Barkley, Tahith Chong will have a big role to play for Luton in their first Premier League game at Kenilworth Road on Friday.
This bet landed in 12 of his 22 appearances during the 2021/22 season for Birmingham City in the Championship, as well as proving successful in last Friday's visit to Stamford Bridge, where he drew seven fouls himself.
Circumstances seem just as favourable for the 23-year-old to concede another foul here, but there's even greater temptation to back this single when Paddy Power have gone slightly higher with 11/10 over last week's even money price.
Best Bet: Tahith Chong 1+ Fouls - 11/10 @ Paddy Power
Sheffield United vs Everton
- Saturday 2nd September, 12:30pm, TNT Sports 1
Abdoulaye Doucoure appears to have been given more creative licence by Sean Dyche. He only managed to register a single shot on target before the former Burnley boss took over at Goodison Park last season. But since then, the bet has been successful seven times, including in two of this campaign's three matches.
Having operated as a central attacking midfielder in Everton's opener with Fulham, there seems to be impetus on him contributing more in front of the opposition goal; especially when Everton still remain goalless, winless and pointless in the Premier League.
BetVictor go just 4/5 for this same selection, giving quite a bit of prestige to the 6/4 with bet365 and Unibet.
Best Bet: Abdoulaye Doucoure 1+ Shot On Target - 6/4 @ bet365
Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea
- Saturday 2nd September, 3pm
Willy Boly won't be an immediate name you jump to for chances in front of goal, but perhaps that perception is on its way to changing. The ex-Wolves centre-back has had at least a shot on target in each of his last four games for Forest, counting last season's 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace on the final day.
He sits as his side's leader in this department for the new campaign, having registered a further two last Saturday at Old Trafford. With Steve Cooper's men giving a strong account of themselves at the Emirates and in Manchester already and Chelsea allowing their three opponents to register 11 or more chances in their opening three PL ties, there's no reason why Boly can't continue his streak.
Not only is this an in-form play, but the huge price disparity between Paddy Power's 13/5 and bet365's 8/1 makes it simply too good to ignore.
Best Bet: Willy Boly 1+ Shot On Target - 8/1 @ bet365
Arsenal vs Man Utd
- Sunday 3rd September, 4:30pm, Sky Sports Premier League
Like other Premier League no.6's, Casemiro has found himself relatively busy when it comes to attacking opposition goals. Casemiro has had 2+ shots in two of his three matches this term and in four of his last five for United.
If he keeps this up, he'll better his success rate of 11 from 28 Premier League appearances in the previous season which is still respectable for a defensive midfielder.
For those tempted to bank on his accuracy, Casemiro has hit the target four times in Man Utd's last two, and a few different bookmakers are offering 2/1 for just one against Arsenal.
Best Bet: Casemiro Over 1.5 Shots - 9/4 @ bet365
