Ipswich need to become a bit meaner than they were in the Championship to try and survive at this level.

They make more mistakes (14.2), receive more yellow cards (3) and make more tackles (18.4) than per 90 in the Championship. Aston Villa are also a team that likes confrontation and this looks like a potential cracker of an encounter with the card line being a value play at 10/11 with Sky Bet for over 50 booking points.

Referees are as picky as ever in the Premier League and more than 50 booking points have been awarded in 19 of the last 23 matches.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2 | JONES KNOWS’ BEST BET: 50+ booking points (10/11 with Sky Bet, part of 9/1 treble)

Harry Maguire, Manuel Ugarte and Lisandro Martinez look on after Man Utd's 1-1 draw against FC Twente in the Europa League

This has to be the toughest game of the weekend to form a strong opinion about. Either way it could end 4-1. It could end 4-4. I have no idea.

I really think Manchester United are better than what we saw last season, just a basic analysis of their mind-boggling data from last season proves that. They have only conceded 10 shots per game this season, after conceding 17.6 per game last season, and this season they have conceded an average of just 3.1 corners per game, up from a remarkable 7.3 last season, the most of any Premier League team.

Meanwhile, Tottenham’s record against top 11 teams away from home since the start of last season has been abysmal, winning two of 12 games and conceding an average of 2.2 goals per game.

The 13/10 on a home win tempted me, but I’m not quite trustworthy enough of United to invest yet.

It is then a high-scoring draw.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-2

If there is Tyler Dibling, there is hope for Southampton this season.

We may be looking at the next superstar in English football based on his early performances.

Highlights from the Premier League match between Southampton and Ipswich

The 18-year-old youth player impressed on his debut against Manchester United, fooling Diogo Dalot, who committed four fouls against him, including one that gave Saints a penalty. He then scored his first goal of his career in the 1-1 draw against Ipswich, creating another big moment for Cameron Archer, who hit the post with a wasteful finish.

His attacking ability and the way he moves with the ball reminds me of Jack Grealish – and he fouls like him, winning eight fouls in his two Premier League starts. His opponent Milos Kerkez may face a difficult evening and seems valuable for a card at 9/2 with Sky Bet.

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1
