Howe is a master in these situations, but one area in management where he does struggle, looking at his recor,d is getting a team to start the season fast.

Across the first three league games of a season for each club he's managed, he's only working at a 1.25 points per game ratio (P24 W8 D6 L10) and a winless pre-season won't have helped preparations for this one.

Across the Champions League and Premier League, Villa are unbeaten in 24 home games, winning the last seven - including beating Newcastle 4-1 in April.



SCORE PREDICTION: 2-0 | JONES KNOWS BEST BET: Aston Villa to win (6/5 with Sky Bet)Brighton vs Fulham, Saturday 3pm - PLAY SUPER 6 TO WIN £1M!

If there's one fixture flying under the radar that screams goals at the prices this weekend, it's this one.

This could be fiddly for Spurs as Burnley should be able to cover their +1.5 goal start handicap at 4/5 with Sky Bet, meaning we just need them not to lose by two or more goals.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1Wolves vs Manchester City, Saturday 5.30pm, live on Sky Sports - PLAY SUPER 6 TO WIN £1M!

Jhon Arias could just take the Premier League by storm in this Wolves team.

Chelsea vs Crystal Palace, Sunday 2pm, live on Sky Sports - PLAY SUPER 6 TO WIN £1M!

Trimmed from 20/1 to 8/1 in the summer to win the Premier League, there is a chance Enzo Maresca just might be building something extremely exciting at Chelsea.

And why should we be taking them seriously.

And they can start with a home win.

SCORE PREDICTION: 3-1Nottingham Forest vs Brentford, Sunday 2pm, live on Sky Sports - PLAY SUPER 6 TO WIN £1M!

Nottingham Forest played some unsustainable football last season and it's very hard to see how they're going to improve on what they achieved.

Top goalscorer Chris Wood converted 30 per cent of his overall attempts in the Premier League last term, while goalkeeper Matz Sels enjoyed the season of his life, boasting the best save percentage in the league!

When assessing the last nine games where they've gone off 11/10 or bigger on the road, they have won just once and the average goals per game sits at just 1.89 per 90 with seven of those nine going under 2.5 goals.

Additionally, seven of those games finished all-square while four of the five meetings between Mikel Arteta and Ruben Amorim have also ended level.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1 | JONES KNOWS BEST BET: Under 2.5 goals (10/11 with Sky Bet)Leeds vs Everton, Monday 8pm, live on Sky Sports

Lots of the focus and pre-match narrative will be about Leeds, but I'm excited to see what Everton can do this season.

I think we need to start putting some serious respect on what David Moyes is doing in the Premier League - I for one haven't given him enough credit

Since taking over at West Ham, he has recorded a 37 per cent win ratio in the Premier League - that's higher than Sean Dyche, Andoni Iraola, Marco Silva and Graham Potter.

And when Jarrad Branthwaite was fit last season (he started 28 games), Everton conceded just 28 goals in those matches - that's one goal per game, which would equate to being the second-best defensive record in the Premier League last season.

With Branthwaite tied down to a new deal and money to spend, Moyes just may have the tools to overachieve on expectations
