West Bromwich Albion vs Manchester City
This should be a no brainer. To me at least. There's always a little bit of room for error when you're playing your first game of the season, sure, but Manchester City has one their last 7 games straight against West Bromwich Albion. They also had a lot more work in the pre season so I think they they'll do alright tonight and put this one in the books for a good start of the season. Also not a whole lot has changed in their squad since the last season so normally team chemistry shouldn't be a problem either.
Manchester City to win tonight.

Aston Villa vs Manchester United
Aston Villa - Manchester Utd. Although the tradition is absolutely on the side of the guests in this match of Premier League of England, I will still try with goals, because they are not left a good impression on me in the first leg.
So, Manchester Utd. is beat Tottenham 1-0 in the first match of the new season but that goal was an own goal, Kyle Walker. Aston Villa is won in the first match of the Premier League (1-0) and as a guest and I think they certainly will not be afraid great rival. The team from Manchester is 3-1 in the last match of the rivals won and we'll see whether this match maybe will be similar.
Total goals over 2.5 @2.17 Pinnacle
Liverpool vs AFC Bournemouth
Liverpool comes into this match after the 1-0 victory recorded in the first stage, the match played away to Stoke City. Last season, Liverpool finished in 6th place in the championship and this season they hope a much better performance, especially because of the massive investment made during a transfer, they managed to bring Christian Benteke and Robert Firmino. Most of Liverpool in the last 10 rounds at home in the league, No. 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. Bournemouth comes after 1-0 defeat suffered in the first stage of the championship, they were defeated at home by Aston Villa, despite Bournemouth dominated almost all the match, with more possession and more chances to score.

Crystal Palace vs Sunderland
Sunderland are playing horrific football this season. They've been playing horrific football for more than two seasons now but before now they used to be at least somewhat offensively orientated. Now they have "Big Sam" leading them from the bench and everyone knows that means lots of ugly football, lots of bodies behind the ball and destruction of opponents play.
Palace has been playing far better away from home than at Selhurst Park and Alan Pardew is very much aware of that fact. He will also be missing a couple of important players like Gayle, Appiah and Sako while Marouane Chamakh will be back after a hamstring injury and it is questionable how much he will be able to aid Palace in this match.
Sunderland will have Cattermole back and John O'Shea is expected to also be fit after playing a few minutes for Ireland in the quallies for Euro 2016.
Sunderland has always been a tricky side for Palace to beat and with Sam Allerdyce as head coach I think that might be even harder this time around. I think we will wittness an exceptionally ugly game between these two sides tonight.

Stoke City vs Manchester City
It’s the 16th match day in the Premier League between Stoke City and Manchester City.
The home Team from Stoke are now on the 12th position and struggled in the last game against Sunderland. Stoke lost the game with 0:2. The form of Stoke is above average. They just won 2 games of the last 5 games, had 1 time a draw and lost 2 games.
The leader of the Premier League is in a relatively good form. The last game was a success and Manchester City won with 3:1 against Southampton. With 2 winnings in the last 5 games they have also played 2 times a draw and lost a home game against Liverpool.
I think we will see a Man City victory in Stoke. The fact that Man City scored 30 goals in this season is a bomb proof for Man City's offense. Stoke City will have Trouble with Players like Agüero or Sterling.
Prediction: Manchester City @1.70 Pinnacle
Aston Villa - Arsenal
Aston Villa will host Arsenal today for their 16th game in the England - Premier League 2015 / 2016.
I think that Aston Villa will lose this game again today based on the their recent bad form with only 2 draws and 3 losses from the last 5 matches, and now they are still standing in the last place of the table with only 6 points when we can see Arsenal is still a far better team as they are now standing in the 3rd place of the table with 30 points after the same 15 games played this season, then I will bet Arsenal to win here.
Prediction; Arsenal -1.00 @1.94 Pinnacle
Manchester United - Norwich City
United are so awful this season that you can get 1.45 on them to beat Norwich at home. Yes, beat average Championship level team at home at this price. Good news here is that you don't need to risk on -1.5 goals and can take -1 line at rather good 1.80 price and if game ends with United winning by a solitary goal, you will be refunded.
United play super-dull slow tempo game and 0-0 is quite often the score in their games but can they really afford another awful performance and bad result having failed to win any of their last 5 games? I don't think so.
The good news for United backers is that they don't concede goals at home. They have allowed just 1 in 7 league games at Old Trafford. The problem is that have managed to win just 4 of those 7 games with 3 others finishing in 0-0 draws, like their last home game vs Hammers.
This Norwich team struggles to score away from home and have just 9 in 8 games. They have lost 5 of those 8 games. Norwich have lost last 4 away games in Premier League and overall are 7 away games without a win (lost 5, drawn 2), as their only away win in the league was in their very first road game of the season back in May at Sunderland.
I watches Norwich last week vs Everton. They were awful and Everton could have scored 4-5 in the first half but did not take their chances and the game ended 1-1.
Norwich have leaked in 18 goals on their travels, the 3rd most behind only Sunderland and Newcastle. Norwich have lost all of their last 3 visits to Old Trafford 4-0. I don't think it will be that bad this time, although, I fancy United to win by at least couple goals. Smalling will be back which is good for defense. Rooney and Herrera are also available.
Prediction: Manchester United @1.80 Pinnacle
Watford - Liverpool
The defense of Liverpool is not weell tooned up at this moment and they even came close to losing their last game played at home against West Brom as they drew in the end with 2-2 thanks to a late goal, this while Watford is coming into this game here with great morale as they maanged to win 3 games in a row in the league and are currently sitting in the middle of the league table, as for my bet here in this game it is going to be a bet on both teams scoring here and the odds are decent.
Prediction: Both teams to score @1.95 Bet365
Tottenham - Hull City
Tottenham last league match lost against Stoke 3-0. Tottenham takes 6 place in the table and only 1 point ahead 7 place team Southampton. Hull City fighting for survive in EPL. They 2 points ahead 17 place team Newcastle. Tottenham are undefeated in last 8 matches against Hull. Last match Tottenham won away against Hull 1-2. I think today at home Tottenham have all chances to win.
Prediction: Tottenham @1.80 Bet365
WON. 2-0
