Arsenal vs Coventry City picks

Arsenal is ready to go back-to-back. The Gunners are one of the only teams to strengthen and keep hold of their core going into this season. There’s no denying it; Arsenal is by far the best team in the Premier League.

Coventry City have strengthened well this summer but the jump to the Premier League is huge. They will pick up points this season, but certainly not against the Champions on opening night.

Other markets include Kai Havertz to score, Noni Madueke to make three or more accurate crosses and Carl Rushworth to make two or more saves.
