City 5/2 First Up On MOTD

Southampton and Man City at the Etihad is 5/2 fav with Ladbrokes to be the first game shown on Match Of The Day

That is followed by Man United’s trip to Goodison to take on Everton. The first game for Spurs’ new manager at Newcastle is 4/1 while Reading vs Stoke looks unlikely down at 18/1.

Looking at the match odds it’s no surprise at this early stage to see Southampton travel with the biggest price of any team in the division for the win (11/1). Everton are the biggest priced home side at 3/1 while two of the three newly promoted sides are favourites for their opening games.

Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes said: “The odds suggest the Champions will give editors the biggest headache. A Southampton upset would also guarantee an early spot.”

He added: “It’s safe to say Reading & Stoke would have to produce a classic to defy the odds.”
