Premier League 2025/26 Matchday 2 Betting Picks | The EPL Show (EP. 450)

Billi (@SGPSoccer) breaks down 9 of this weekend’s 10 Matchday 2 Premier League fixtures, with the action beginning on Friday night— as Chelsea travel to the London Stadium to take on West Ham, while Saturday morning will see Tottenham travel to Manchester to play Pep’s Manchester City. The Citizens were humbled 4-0 at home to Spurs in what was one of the north London outfit’s most impressive results under Ange Postecoglou, and the visitors will fancy their chances again after they saw off promote Burnley 3-0 in their opener and after going toe-to-toe with PSG in the UEFA Super Cup.Monday night, gives us what is arguably the game of the weekend, given the summer drama involving Alexander Isak. The distraction surrounding Isak’s future is likely to dominate the build-up to Newcastle’s date with champions Liverpool and there is little doubt that the Magpies could do with the situation being resolved as quickly as possible. The Reds were severely tested by Bournemouth in their first game and needed late goals from Federico Chiesa and Mo Salah to get over the line. However, despite needing those late goals, they still looked dynamic going forward with new forward Hugo Ekitike demonstrating his determination to make Isak fight for his place if he does make the move to Merseyside.
