Premier League Best Bets - Matchday 3

Ipswich arrive after a fairly good start to the new Premier League season. Their 2-1 win over Sunderland in their opener was an outstanding result before they were beaten 5-2 by Manchester United at Old Trafford. While conceding five goals was a damning realisation for their defence, they did at least take the lead in that game as they scored twice on the road. Many newly promoted teams find scoring and keeping the ball out of their own net tough. While Ipswich do fall into the latter after conceding six goals in two games, they have at least scored twice in both openers. Having beaten Sunderland in their last home game, I back Ipswich to frustrate a Liverpool side that have drawn their last two. 

Arsenal have been excellent at the start of the new season, securing a pair of wins and clean sheets to begin their title defence in fine style. Their 3-0 win over Coventry on the opening night at the Emirates was one most saw coming, while their 1-0 win over Aston Villa came in a resolute performance against a stubborn host. Chelsea arrive having also won their opening two, although they are yet to keep a clean sheet in high scoring matches that have seen them score seven times and concede five goals. Arsenal will know that they are likely to breach a creaky Chelsea backline, but can they keep out the joint-top scorers in the competitions after two matches?
