The arrival of Haaland has not affected Man City's title odds, they were 4/7 before his incoming and they remain so. The departure of Mané from Liverpool and Salah's subsequent extension of contract has made no difference to the Anfield team's odds either. Tottenham, though, has seen a narrowing of odds following the arrival of Perisic, Richarlison and Bissouma and they are now 3rd favourites (14/1 from 20/1) leapfrogging a so-far transfer-idle Chelsea. Eriksen looks set to join 5th favourites Man Utd while Ronaldo looks set to leave the club in search of Champions League gratification. Arsenal has just welcomed ex-City forward Jesus but remain firm outsiders with Newcastle the last of the double-digiters before West Ham start the three-digit market.

Fulham 1000/1
Nottingham Forest 1000/1
Bournemouth 2000/1
RELEGATION :
Bournemouth are hot favourites for the drop without a ball yet being kicked while serial up-and-downers Fulham will be hoping that ex-Everton, Watford and Hull City coach Marco Silva can add some stability to the see-saw. Nottingham Forest complete the whipping boys scenario for the relegation bracket. Brentford seem stingy at 5/2 and surely deserve to be behind Leeds, Southampton, and one or two others.

TOP EPL GOALSCORER :
It's gonna be all about adapting to the EPL for some of them. I'm not talking about the debaclé that was Romelu Lukaku's return to Chelsea either - the latest batch of imports will surely want to make their mark, you know, actually have their heart in it and take the paydays as a reward for work done.
Haaland 7/2 (potted a total of 29 goals for Dortmund last season over 30 appearances)
Salah 9/2 (31 goals in 58 apps last season)
Kane 6/1 (27 in 50)
Ronaldo 10/1 (24 in 38)
Son 10/1 (24 goals in 45 apps, yet no place in this year's PFA Team of the Season : joint EPL top scorer (no penalties) untold assists, excellent disciplinary record - what the f*** else does the lad have to do?)
Nunez 12/1 (34 goals in 41 apps for Benfica last season, could be value in the Uruguayan here)
Jesus 20/1 (13 goals in 41 apps for Man City last season)
Alvarez 25/1 (17 goals in 23 'on-loan' appearances for River Plate since Jan 2022, now fully signed to play for Man City)
Jota 25/1 (21 goals in 55 apps last season)
Vardy 25/1 (17 goals in 33 apps last season, aged 35 and, I'm afraid, way underpriced here)
Diaz 33/1 (6 goals in 26 apps for Liverpool from Jan 2022, and 16 in 28 for Porto previously)
Mitrovic 33/1 (43 goals in 46 apps for Fulham last season but struggles to pot in EPL)
Calvert-Lewin 40/1 (5 goals in 18 apps for Everton last season and hugely underpriced here, surely)
De Bruyne 40/1 (19 pots in 44 outings last season)
Havertz 40/1 (14 in 47 apps last season)
Raphinha 40/1 (11 in 36 apps for Leeds last season, a current interest of Chelsea's)
Awoniyi 50/1 (Nottingham Forest's new signing scored 20 in 43 outings for Union Berlin last campaign)
Bowen 50/1 (18 in a marathon 51 appearances for West Ham last season)
Fernandes 50/1 (10 goals in 46 Man Utd apps last season)
Richarlison 50/1 (Tottenham new boy potted 11 in 33 apps for Everton last season)
Saka 50/1 (12 pots in 43 apps for Arsenal last term)
Sterling 50/1 (17 in 47 last season, Man City-reject hopefully to set nowhere near Stamford Bridge unless as an opponent on the end of a bloody good hiding)
Toney 50/1 (14 goals in 37 Brentford apps last season for this fearless hitman - should get even better)
Werner 50/1 (11 goals in 37 Chelsea apps, still unable to find solid groove)
Wilson 50/1 (Callum. 8 pots in 18 showings for Toon last term)

OPENING FIXTURES:
Crystal Palace v Arsenal (Fri 8pm)
Fulham v Liverpool (Sat 3pm)
Bournemouth v Aston Villa (Sat 3pm)
Leeds v Wolves (Sat 3pm)
Newcastle v Nottingham Forest (Sat 3pm)
Tottenham v Southampton (Sat 3pm)
Everton v Chelsea (Sat 5.30pm)
Leicester v Brentford (Sun 2pm)
Man Utd v Brighton (Sun 2pm)
West Ham v Man City (Sun 4.30pm)
The opening Friday night set-to takes place in London again. It was West London last season where Brentford saw off Arsenal and it's South London this time where Palace has the chance to do the same. Palace ambled along to an indifferent finish (12th) while Arsenal, with a Champions League place in their own hands, allowed Tottenham to take it from them firstly by a dreadful 36th-game defeat at 782 High Road N17, and then courtesy a 37th-game loss up in Newcastle. The bookies are on the side of Arsenal, 21/10 Palace playing Arsenal's 6/5. You have to say that the draw could be a goer here.
Fulham have alternated relentlessly between the EPL and the Championship since 2017 : this is what their past 6 seasons looks like - CHAMP-PREM-CHAMP-PREM-CHAMP-PREM. Even Norwich, with its 5-star CHAMP-PREM-CHAMP-PREM-CHAMP history since 2018 can't beat Fulham's consistency. The Cottagers host Liverpool on Saturday and if you fancy an opening-day shock the London club is offered up at 13/2 with Liverpool fully odds-on.
Bournemouth, Championship runners-up last season after finishing very strongly behind Fulham, welcome last season's 14th-placed EPL side Aston Villa and I'm on the Cherries to start their campaign on a high at 2/1 for the win.
Leeds escaped the drop in May after beating Brentford and seeing Burnley go down 1-2 to Newcastle on the final day and they welcome mid-tablers Wolves. The bookies fancy Leeds who took 4 points off Wanderers last season.
£60m so far spent in the transfer window and Newcastle's spending won't stop yet - they host Forest and are a decent 4/6 to take the points against the new boys. Let's see how new Forest signing Taiwo Awoniyi shapes up away from the Bundesliga.
Southampton, you have to say, cut the most sorry figure in the last six cards of the season, taking just one point from 18 and showing us precious little in the way of entertainment. They visit Tottenham and should be easily seen off by the 4/11 home bankers. But then, this is opening week and Tottenham themselves provided quite a shock in 2022's corresponding card by turning over Man City 1-0 in London.
Frank Lampard, who for all the world, I have to say, seemed certain to be taking Everton into the Championship, welcomes his old club Chelsea to Goodison in Saturday's evening set-to, and if you fancy a turn-up then take Everton at 4/1. It was, after all, a Richarlison goal that stunned Chelsea at Goodison last May when Frank took three much needed points against Chelsea. Richarlison may be gone but Frank is still around... so be afraid, be very afr-- okay, okay, let's not get carried away.
Christen Eriksen's January intervention helped get Brentford's floundering season back on track to finish 12th but he won't be around this time and the Bees must remain at their tigerish best to keep up with the Jones' again - the second season syndrome is always waiting, is always there, ready to pounce mercilessly just when the heads are at their most swollen - keep feet on the ground, targets followed and they'll be fine. They travel to Leicester on Sunday and what can you say about Leicester except that they're...Leicester. Nab the Bees at 5/2 for the away win.
Man Utd v Brighton is the other early Sunday game and the bookies have United at a win price that was virtually unheard of last season : 4/9. We'll see if they're right but if the last meeting between these two teams counts for anything, it should be no stroll in the park for Ten Hag, Brighton slaughtering the reds bloody in May, 4-0.
The final game of the opening card sees Europa Conference League hopefuls West Ham (it could have been Man U in their place but for the sake of two points) take on Man City. City rock up as 2/5 favourites, so if you want a heavily odds-on banker accy, here it is :
LIVERPOOL
TOTTENHAM
MAN UTD
MAN CITY
It pays 3/1. But I wouldn't bank on it.
