Best Football Betting Tips for Saturday 22nd September

The Premier League returns on Saturday and we have found the best three bets for Saturday's football including some free bets and bookmaker promotions.

Steven Fletcher to score first – West Ham vs Sunderland

The Scottish striker has opened the scoring in each of his first two games for his new club and is surely the favourite to do once again away at West Ham. The Hammers are yet to concede a goal at home so far this season, but Fletcher has revelled in his sole striker role. He is ably supported by real quality too in James McClean and Stephane Sessegnon so expect him to have a number of goalscoring opportunities.

Southampton to draw with Aston Villa

The Saints are yet to win so far this season and despite last weekend’s massacre at the hands of Arsenal, there have been encouraging signs for the team. They pushed both Manchester clubs to the limit and have showed that they are certainly capable of scoring goals. Aston Villa secured their first win of the season last weekend, which was their first victory since March. Their away form has been torrid though and they haven’t secured a win since beating Wolves in January – eleven games ago.  Both sides will be desperate for a win, so expect a draw.

Chelsea to win to nil against Stoke

The West London side have been almost impenetrable at the back and have kept three clean sheets in their four fixtures. Stoke have failed to secure a win so far this season but remain undefeated, having drawn each of their games. Even more ominously, they have failed to score a goal, let alone win a game in their last three visits to Stamford Bridge. The quality of Eden Hazard, Fernando Torres et al will surely prove too much for the Stoke defence.
