Tricky opening set of matches with question marks over many of the teams for various reasons.

Liverpool look in good shape and seem to have width and pace now, something they have lacked in the past. They look the only worthwhile bet at 1.64. Chelsea went off close to 1/4 when they visited Wigan (who also finished 2nd in the Championship in the previous season) on the opening day last season. It took a late Crespo strike to nick the win but surely these odds can only go one way.
