Manchester United and Fulham get the new English Premier League season under way at Old Trafford on Friday night and we take a look at whole host of betting markets available to punters
Man United
United finished eighth last season, winning 18, drawing 6 and losing 14 top flight matches, their home record (W10, D3, L6) was pretty average and their goal difference finished on -1. Winning the FA Cup, beating City In the final probably saved the coach from the sack.
Defender Leny Yoro joined from Lille but picked up an injury in pre season whicch will keep him out for some time. Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna is a new striker option and at the time of writing another defensive duo from Bayern Munich, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui were completing medicals.
United drew 1-1 with Man City in the increasingly low key Community Shield at Wembley last week

The Verdict:
I'm open minded about this one in terms of the result so just a couple of small plays in the exotics.
For a betting interest I'll go with an attacking full back in the shape of Dalot to provide an assist for United and new signing Smith Rowe gets the vote to do likewise for Fulham.
Bets: Player Assists, Diogo Dalot at 7/1 with Betway
Player Assists, Smith Rowe at 52/10 with Betway
