It’s the fifth weekend of the Premier League coming up and already there have been a whole host of talking points. We attempt to answer three key questions thrown up during the first month of the new campaign.

Another weekend of sport has come and gone and the rugby World Cup is now in full flow. There was plenty of exciting action around the world so what have we actually learnt from the last couple of days?

Newcastle United travel to QPR for the Monday night fixture and expect them to extend their unbeaten record against the newly promoted Londoners (QPR 11/8, draw 23/10, Newcastle 21/10 – Match Betting).

The two Premier League matches on Sunday don’t instantly stand out as ‘must-see’ games but, even at this early stage of the campaign, they could be crucial for the clubs involved. Norwich and West Brom are still seeking their first wins of the season, while Fulham and Blackburn have just one point between them…..who will prevail?

A Saturday seven-time accumulator of Arsenal, Aston Villa, Manchester City, Draw (Stoke-Liverpool), Chelsea, Draw (Wolves-Spurs) and Manchester United pays a massive 151/1. There are many more realistic ways of making cash on the Premier League, however.

Following another rip-roaring weekend in the Premier League, it’s the two Manchester clubs that sit at the top of the table with three wins out of three. City’s 5-1 demolition of Spurs was overshadowed by United’s amazing 8-2 rout of Arsenal but can Roberto Mancini’s men have the last laugh and end up Premier League champions come May?

A trip to title hopefuls Manchester City (7/2 Premier League outright) is almost the toughest opening possible for top-flight new boys Swansea City.

With pre-season well underway and the transfer market continuing to build towards an exciting crescendo it’s time to begin looking at the best bets for the Premier League season.

The penultimate weekend of the Premier League season could see Manchester United crowned champions while there are also issues to be decided at the foot of the table. There are four matches on Saturday and so we will take a look at each match-up and the possible outcomes.

There is just one Premier League fixture on Monday night as Fulham host Liverpool, with the visitors in line to move into fifth spot as long as they don’t lose.
