Tottenham should be able to start their season with a win against a side that is tipped to go straight back down following their promotion from the Championship last season.

Tottenham scored 64 goals last season (1.68 per game) which was considerably more than any other side in the bottom half of the Premier League last season.

Burnley, on the other hand, appear lacking in proven Premier League quality in attack and I expect them to be outmatched by Spurs in Thomas Frank’s first Premier League game in charge.

The Stadium of Light will be rocking upon Sunderland’s return to the Premier League, and the Black Cats scored 32 goals in 23 games at home last season (1.39 per game).

West Ham were also leaky defensively away from home last term, conceding 28 goals on their travels (1.47 per game).

The Hammers do possess strong attacking firepower themselves in the form of skipper Jarrod Bowen and a rejuvenated Niclas Fullkrug, making this match look value for goals.

Aberdeen have had a difficult start to their Scottish Premiership season, succumbing to back-to-back 2-0 defeats against Hearts and Celtic.

The Dons will be desperate to kickstart their campaign against Morton in the League Cup, with the Championship outfit beginning their league campaign with draws against Dunfermline and Partick Thistle.

Aberdeen have only failed to progress past the second round of the League Cup in two of the past 16 seasons and despite their slow start this term their Premiership quality should prove too much for Morton.

Hearts have made a perfect start to the season, winning each of their first six competitive games, and Derek McInnes’ side are well set to continue their strong form when they travel to Paisley to face St Mirren.

Hearts have already scored five goals in the league, and with attacking depth on the bench they have the tools to break down a resilient Saints side.

St Mirren won credit for their stoic performance in losing 1-0 away to Celtic, but they were lacking in ideas as they were well held to a 0-0 draw against Motherwell last weekend.

I think Hearts have too much about them to lose this match. History suggests that will be the case, with just one loss in their last seven against the Buddies.
