Arsenal vs West Ham – Sunday August 26, 12am
After facing two fellow title contenders inside the opening two weeks of the season, Arsenal will turn their attentions to West Ham on matchday three of the Premier League.
The Gunners lost to both Manchester City and Chelsea, and are one of just four teams that currently boast a points total of zero after two matches.
The Hammers are one of those sides, with an away loss to Liverpool followed up by a disappointing home defeat at the hands of Bournemouth at the weekend.
Arsenal have conceded five goals this season while West Ham have already shipped six, meaning we could see goals at either end of this contest with a couple of leaky defences.
However, given the quality of Arsenal’s opponents inside the opening two rounds, a fixture against a mid-table side should finally see Unai Emery pick up his first points as Arsenal manager.
He should be in line for all three, although the Hammers on their day could grind out a point, however it doesn’t look likely here.

Liverpool vs Brighton – Sunday August 26, 2.30am
Brighton will be riding high into their clash with Liverpool on Sunday, after knocking off Manchester United in their first home game of the season last weekend.
They stunned United with two goals in three minutes inside the opening half an hour, and managed to comfortably hold off the Red Devils to record an impressive victory.
The Seagulls will be out to prove the win wasn’t just a fluke, as they take on another title contender this weekend.
Liverpool have started the season strongly, and have kept clean sheets in wins against West Ham and Crystal Palace.
Mo Salah has picked up from where he left off last campaign, and Naby Keita is already winning his way into the hearts of Reds fans after two outstanding performances already this season.
Liverpool should have enough talent to see off Brighton, but the Seagulls will certainly be giving it their all in a bid to knock over two of England’s biggest ever clubs in consecutive weeks.
Tip: Clean sheet: Liverpool to keep a clean sheet - $1.72
Manchester United vs Tottenham – Tuesday August 28, 5am
The biggest fixture of matchday three comes in the final game, as Tottenham travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United.
The Spurs have seen off both Newcastle and Fulham so far this season, while United will be eager to bounce back from their defeat at the hands of Brighton last time out.
The pressure is continuing to mount on Jose Mourinho and the Red Devils, and a win over a fellow top four side should do enough to take the heat off the club, but they’ll need to start performing week in, week out before the media leave them alone.
Despite failing to sign anyone during the summer window, the Spurs have kept the core at the club, and are setting up for another tilt on the title.
Tip: Draw - $3.20
