The 2026/27 Premier League is up and running with two of the newly promoted sides getting off to winning starts.
While Ipswich Town's win over Sunderland didn't raise too many eyebrows, Hull City's win over Manchester United certainly did.
Title favourites Arsenal, who started off scratch in the season handicap market, got off to a winning start, putting three past Coventry City, though they remain 52 points behind Hull after the Tigers' shock victory.
Tottenham and Aston Villa, given just 16 and 18 points to start the season, both recorded losses in their first outings, and need big seasons to challenge in the season handicap market.
