Crystal Palace v Tottenham

There will be a tremendous atmosphere at Selhurst Park as Palace make their Premier League return after an absence of eight years. And Ian Holloway would no doubt love a repeat of the scoreline the last time the sides met as Palace ran out 3-0 winners back in 2005, however unlikely that may seem. With the absence of Gareth Bale who is out injured, AVB will rely on other key men to provide the goal threat, and leading the line should be new-signing Roberto Soldado. The Spaniard has gone on record to state his aim of scoring at least 20 goals for Spurs this season, and this opening fixture against one of last season's promoted sides gives him the perfect opportunity to open his account.

First Goalscorer Tip: Roberto Soldado – 7/2 with Betfred

Chelsea v Hull City

José Mourinho makes his Premier League return as he takes charge of the Blues' opening match against newly-promoted Hull City at Stamford Bridge. The visitors would no doubt love to cause an opening day upset but that looks extremely unlikely given the quality and fire-power Chelsea have. With Romelu Lukaku having been Mourinho's main striker in pre-season, he is the man to have your money on to open the scoring. If Chelsea do get an early goal the floodgates could open wide, and that would bring Betfred's promtion very nicely into play.

First Goalscorer Tip: Romelu Lukaku – 10/3 with Betfred
