Football punters have 2 English Premier League games to get stuck into on Monday night and we take a look at them from a betting angle.

SHEFFIELD UNITED v WOLVES – Click here to bet

Sheffield United finished 9^th last season, but they faded quite badly towards the end losing their last 3 matches in succession.

Wolves finished their season with a loss, but came in, in 7^th spot, 2 ahead of Sheffield United with 2 wins, 2 losses and a draw in their last 5 games.

Sheffield United won this fixture 1-0 last season and the other game was drawn 1-1 at Wolves.

Betting

Sheffield United 49/20

Draw 2/1

Wolves 14/10

Suggested Bet: The draw at 2/1

I was going to look at an under 2.5 goal play here as both teams were struggling to find the net last season, but the bookies are on to this and it is priced to 9/20. Given though a low scoring game is expected the draw looks a decent play at 2/1.

BRIGHTON v CHELSEA – Click here to bet

Brighton finished 15^th on the log and ended their season with a victory, their only win in their last 5 matches. They now face a Chelsea side that finished 4^th on the table with 3 wins and 2 losses in their last 5 games.

These sides met in a friendly at the end of August and the game finished 1-1, the same score when this fixture finished last season.

Betting

Brighton 17/4

Draw 63/20

Chelsea 13/20

Suggested Bet: Handicap, Brighton (+1), the draw at 11/4

For this bet to land I need Chelsea to win by exactly 1 goal and the reason I am playing it is I believe we will get a tight match as we had the last time these sides met in Brighton. Overall though I think this is a stronger Chelsea squad this year and that they will get their campaign going with 3 points.
