Wait 5 sec.

The football season is in full swing and there is a busy programme of fixtures for the betting community to feast upon this weekend.We have picked out three betting selections, with all three tips coming from the Premier League.BET £10 AND GET £30 IN FREE BETS WITH TALKSPORT BETSaturday football tipsBet of the day – Aston Villa to beat Brentford @ 21/20Brentford fans have plenty of reasons to be worried about the season ahead and their fears may grow when Aston Villa come to the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday.Brentford followers were left heartbroken when they lost their manager Thomas Frank to Tottenham – a humbling experience which has left the Bees unstable for the new campaign. A 3-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest on the opening day did nothing to calm the nerves of Brentford supporters. Aston Villa, in contrast, earned a solid point against Newcastle, despite going down to 10 men after 66 minutes when Ezri Konza was given his marching orders.Villa will be sensing an opportunity to claim an away victory when they head to London and it is a surprise to find odds-against available about the Midlanders banking all three points. Villa won this fixture last season and can repeat the dose.Special of the day – Burnley v Sunderland – 1-1 correct score @ 5/1The main reason Burnley have got back into the Premier League is their incredible defence, which built one of the most impressive records in Championship history last season.Burnley conceded just 35 goals in the league last term. At one stage, they went more than 1,000 minutes without shipping a league goal, registering 12 consecutive clean sheets, so any team which heads for Turf Moor is going to realise they are in for a tough assignment.Obviously Burnley are facing stronger opposition in the Premier League, but Sunderland are not a team who the Clarets will fear.This fixture produced a goalless draw in the Championship last season and something similar can be expected this time.Long shot of the day – Arsenal to beat Leeds United 4-1 @ 14/1Leeds United have started a fresh spell in the Premier League feeling positive about their chances of scoring goals, but concerned about their defence. A clean sheet at home to powder-puff Everton on Monday does little to appease those worries.A much tougher assignment for the Leeds defence comes on Saturday when the Whites travel to London to face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. This match should provide a much truer measure of the quality of the Leeds rearguard.Arsenal, who beat Manchester United at Old Trafford in their first match of the season, could run riot at the Emirates.Arsenal’s attack has been seriously bolstered in the close-season and this will be a chance for the new signings to show their worth.Leeds may manage a consolation goal, but a 4-1 home win looks like a generous price.BET £10 AND GET £30 IN FREE BETS WITH TALKSPORT BETPremier League OfferFootball is back!New Football Sign Up Offer: Bet £10 get £30 in free bets – CLAIM HERE18+ New customers only.
