Premier League Round 2 Tips & Predictions - Best Bets for EPL Round 2

• Crystal Palace vs Man City Full Preview & Predictions
• Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest Full Preview & Predictions

Coventry vs Hull Tips & Prediction

• Tough opening fixture for Coventry away to Arsenal and I'm confident they can bounce back at home against a fellow newly-promoted team here
• Coventry won 17 of their 23 home games in the Championship last season
• Hull were one of the stories of the opening round in beating Man United, but they only had 28 per cent of the ball and their two goals were from central defenders
• Think it's fair to say Hull rode a bit of luck in front of their home fans last week, but they've only won one of their last seven games on the road inside 90 minutes and are tipped to crash back down to earth here

Tottenham vs Newcastle Tips & Prediction

• Classic Spursy to open the season, slumping to a 3-0 defeat away to Brentford
• Tottenham have made countless new signings and I think it's going to take more time for this new-look team to settle - I saw someone say they've signed 100 Robins and no Batmans and I tend to agree
• Newcastle have emerged as a bogey side for Spurs, going unbeaten in the last six meetings and winning five - including a pair of 2-1 victories in London across the last two campaigns
• Newcastle looked solid in their opening 2-2 draw with Liverpool and really should have secured all three points - away form is always a question mark with the Toon, but this is a matchup they clearly love

• Forest are struggling to open the season, losing to Leeds in both the EPL and League Cup over the last week
• Oliver Glasner's side have started flat out of the blocks and now have a tough trip to Anfield
• Liverpool obviously nowhere near the form from a few years ago, but they've won 12 of their last 13 season openers at Anfield and should have enough firepower to get the job done here
• However, the Reds remain vulnerable at the back, conceding 1+ goal in their last seven consecutive games, so Forest are backed to get on the scoresheet in defeat

Chelsea vs Brighton Tips & Prediction

• Chelsea looked good going forward in their 3-2 win over Fulham, led by the front three of Joao Pedro, Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers
• However, Xabi Alonso's side weren't convincing at the back, leaking two goals to a Fulham side that are tipped to struggle this term
• Brighton banged in four goals over a helpless Aston Villa and backed it up by netting another four in qualifying for the Conference League mid-week over Tromso
• Short turnaround for Brighton, so Chelsea should have the edge at Stamford Bridge, but the Seagulls can find the back of the net - after all, they've won the last four meetings between the teams
