Let’s now take a look at the top tips for the forthcoming Premier League season, with odds provided as always by bet365 Sport.

• Top Goalscorer – Erling Braut Haaland (Man City) – 3/1

An easy one to pick here. Manchester City score lots of goals but they have lacked a striker who can play almost all their games and who has an incredible goalscoring record at every level he has played. Haaland now is that man and he should benefit from City’s outstanding creativity to score plenty of goals this season.

• Tricast – 1^st Man City, 2^nd Liverpool, 3^rd Tottenham – 7/1

I’m backing City to win the league once again with Liverpool to push them closest and then I think in the race for third Spurs will just pip Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea for the third place spot.
