Score prediction: Leicester City 3-2 Wolves – King Power Stadium, Leicester

Really expecting this to be one of the best duels over the first weekend. Leicester with some potency injected upfront while Wolves re-introduce themselves under a new, attack-minded manage.

What’s most exciting about this fixture? We should welcome back the Mexican Sicario, Raul Jimenez. I do believe with the fans back at King Power and the extra firepower the Foxes possess in the ranks, they will just about edge out the Wanderers for the three points.

Score prediction: Watford  0-3 Aston Villa – Vicarage Road, Watford

Aston Villa’s transfer window on its own should earn three or more points for them. They have completed some of the best deals this summer. Even though they sold their best player, they’ve added and strengthened well enough to face the future without Jack Grealish.

Watford have been busy all summer but look as if they are going to have a troubled time in the EPL this season – that’s taking their offseason form into considering. They lost both their games against Premier League clubs, Crystal Palace and Brentford, which is a call for concern.

This is going to be a one-sided affair and it will favour the team to look out for outside of the top-six this term.

Score prediction: Norwich City 2-4 Liverpool – Carrow Road, Norwich

It’s a revitalised Liverpool side visiting Norwich City on Saturday evening. The question cannot be, are the Reds going to get a victory but rather how much will they win by. However, if the Canaries pre-season prep is anything to go by, we are in for one goal-heavy fixture.

Klopp’s men biggest problem leading up to Matchday 1 is that they have only been able to keep one clean sheet. But the front three/four have been in fine form, so they will likely outscore their opponents, who mind you, have scored 13 goals over their five pre-season matches.

Goals, goals, and more goals are all that we are looking for!
