Lay Tipster 'Lay Low' Makes Another Profit....
Yesterday we spoke about FREE Trialist Tipster LAY LOW.
Well, they didn't disappoint making yet another profit on the day all be it a small one.
LAY LOW advised five lay tips yesterday of which three were successful finishing 2nd, 3rd & 6th.
Although there were two losing lays (horses that won) because of the low prices LAY LOW advises it was still enough to make a profit of +1.46 points on the day, or £14.60 to £10 stakes.
Yesterdays five lay selections returned at Betfair prices of 4.0, 2.7, 2.59, 2.24 & 1.88
This meant that yesterdays average lay price was 2.68 or near 13/8 in fractions.
LAY LOW has now amassed +24.75 points profit in August with one day to go, this means another healthy guaranteed profit.
Check out their selections and all of our other seven FREE Trialist Tipster today and every day via our links on our website at > https://www.tipsterstreet.net/trialists.php

'LAY LOW' Producing More Profits For FREE In August
Last month we spoke at length about one of our FREE trialists 'LAY LOW'.
In July this tipster produced £264 profit to £10 stakes laying low priced horses.
Well, they are back making profits again this month to the tune of £232 at 29th August.
The best thing about LAY LOW is that the average price of their horse lays is under 2/1 !
So it's quite remarkable that such good profits are being made.
Today LAY LOW has five lay selections.

£100 To £50'000 Challenge - Update
It's been a short while since we mentioned our £100 to £50'000 challenge so we thought we would give you an update today.
We are nearly two months in to our challenge (8 days to go before we complete 2 full months) and we were hoping to have a bank of £145 at the end of Month Two.
After placing todays two bets our bank currently stands at £176.75 so as you can see we are well ahead of schedule.
At the end of Year One our forecast was to have a bank size of £800-900. Our forecasts are now predicting we will hit this by Month 9 to 10, also that we will smash through the £1000 barrier by the end of the year.
There is a long way to go however and we wont see significant profit growth until mid way through Year Two.
But having started with £2 stakes on our first day, we are at now placing bets of around £3.70 so nearly double our initial starting outlay.
It just shows what having a professional mindset and patience can do when following a successful tipster.
For you that are new to our £100 to £50'000 challenge, the tipster we are following is Pro Tipster VALUE FAVS.

PREMIER LEAGUE MATCH PREVIEWS – SATURDAY AUGUST 27 – SUNDAY AUGUST 28
(Transfer information as of Thursday 0900)
Tottenham Hotspur v
Liverpool – Saturday 1230
Form (league matches only – earliest matches first):
Tottenham DW
Liverpool WL
Key signings:
Tottenham – Vincent Janssen (£18.6 million), Victor Wanyama
(£11 million)
Liverpool – Sadio Mane (£36 million), Georginio Wijnaldum
(£25 million), Loris Karius (£4.5 million), Ragnar Klavan (unknown)
Key departures:
Tottenham – Alex Pritchard, DeAndre Yedlin, Federico Fazio
(loan)
Liverpool – Jordon Ibe, Joe Allen, Martin Skrtel, Jerome
Sinclair, Brad Smith, Christian Benteke
- Liverpool fans must be
wondering if this will be another season of inconsistency after they lost
to Burnley last week. Tottenham are also not firing on all cylinders yet,
and perhaps a draw is most likely here.
Chelsea v Burnley –
Saturday 1500
Form:
Chelsea WW
Burnley LW
Key signings:
Chelsea – Michy Batshuayi (£33.2 million), N’Golo Kante (£32
million)
Burnley – Steven Defour (£8 million), Nick Pope (£1.1
million)
Key departures:
Chelsea – Mohammed Salah, Baba Rahman (loan), Nathan Ake
(loan)
Burnley – Joey Barton, Matt Gilks, Lloyd Dyer, Matt Taylor
- Burnley’s win over
Liverpool may have done wonders for their confidence. However, they should
not expect to win many more matches with only 19% of possession. Chelsea
have started well and should be fancied for a third win here.
Crystal Palace v
Bournemouth – Saturday 1500
Form:
Crystal Palace LL
Bournemouth LL
Key signings:
Crystal Palace – Christian Benteke (£32 million), Andros
Townsend (£13 million), James Tomkins (£10 million), Steve Mandanda (free)
Bournemouth – Jordon Ibe (£15 million), Lys Mousset (£5.4
million), Lewis Cook (£10 million), Brad Smith (£6 million), Marc Wilson (£2
million), Nathan Ake (loan)
Key departures:
Crystal Palace – Dwight Gayle, Alex McCarthy, Brede
Hangeland, Marouane Chamakh, Adrian Mariappa, Yannick Bolasie, Mile Jedinak
Bournemouth – Tommy Elphick, Matt Ritchie, Lee Tomlin
- This is a meeting of the
sides currently occupying the bottom two places. Palace are also the only
side in the league yet to score. Could Christian Benteke score a debut
goal to get Palace’s season moving?
Everton v Stoke City
– Saturday 1500
Form:
Everton DW
Stoke DL
Key signings:
Everton – Yannick Bolasie (£28 million), Ashley Williams
(£12 million), Idrissa Gueye (£7.1 million), Marten Stekelenburg (free)
Stoke – Joe Allen (£13 million), Ramadan Sobhi (£5.5
million)
Key departures:
Everton – John Stones, Leon Osman, Tim Howard, Tony Hibbert,
Steven Pienaar
Stoke – Peter Odemwingie, Steve Sidwell, Marc Wilson
- Neither side has kept a
clean sheet so far, but Everton may just have enough to edge a match in
which both sides may well score.
Leicester City v
Swansea City – Saturday 1500
Form:
Leicester LD
Swansea WL
Key signings:
Leicester – Nampalys Mendy (£13 million), Ron-Robert Zieler
(£2.6 million), Ahmed Musa (undisclosed), Luis Hernandez (free)
Swansea – Leroy Fer (£4.75 million), Mike van der Hoorn
(free)
Key departures:
Leicester - N’Golo Kante, Andrej Kramaric, Mark Schwarzer,
Ritchie DeLaet
Swansea – Ashley Williams, Andre Ayew, Eder, Alberto
Paloschi, Bafetimbi Gomis (loan)
- Leicester showed something
like their form of last season in drawing with Arsenal, and will start as
favourites against a Swansea side who are yet to replace their big name
departures, and who lost to Hull last time out.
Southampton v
Sunderland – Saturday 1500
Form:
Southampton DL
Sunderland LL
Key signings:
Southampton – Nathan Redmond (£11 million), Alex McCarthy
(£4 million), Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (undisclosed)
Sunderland – Paddy McNair, Donald Love (£5.5 million
combined), Adnan Januzaj (loan)
Key departures:
Southampton – Sadio Mane, Victor Wanyama, Kelvin Davis,
Graziano Pelle, Gaston Ramirez, Paulo Gazzaniga (loan)
Sunderland – Emmanuel Giaccherini, Danny Graham, Steven
Fletcher, Wes Brown, Younes Kaboul
Middlesbrough – Jonathan Woodgate
- Sunderland have lost both
matches by the odd goal so far, and they may stand a good chance of
getting some points on the board as they make the long trip to
Southampton, whose squad certainly looks weaker than last season’s.
Watford v Arsenal –
Saturday 1500
Form:
Watford DL
Arsenal LD
Key signings:
Watford – Roberto Pereyra (£13.5 million), Isaac Success
(£12.5 million), Daryl Janmaat (£7 million), Christian Kabasele (£5.8 million),
Younes Kaboul (£3.5 million), Brice Dja Djedje (£3 million), Jerome Sinclair
(free), Juan Camilo Zaniga (loan)
Arsenal – Granit Xhaka (£34 million), Rob Holding (£2
million)
Key departures:
Watford - Almen Adbi, Jose Manuel Jurado
Arsenal – Tomas Rosicky, Mikel Arteta
- Watford continue to splash
the cash, but at a club where no manager seems to last long, the spending
spree may only increase their expectations and increase the pressure.
Arsenal have had a difficult start and also have only one point, but will
be favourites to record a win here.
Hull City v
Manchester United – Saturday 1730
Form:
Hull WW
Man Utd WW
Key signings:
Hull - Jonathan Edwards (free), Will Mannion (undisclosed
compensation)
Manchester United – Paul Pogba (£89 million), Eric Bailly
(£30 million), Henrikh Mkhitaryan (£26.5 million), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (free)
Key departures:
Hull – Mohamed Diame, Ryan Taylor, Sone Aluko
Manchester United – Guillermo Varela (loan), Victor Valdes,
Nick Powell
- Perhaps an unlikely early
top of the table clash. However, while Hull certainly deserve credit for
what they have done so far, they surely cannot maintain their position
amongst the leaders with such a threadbare squad. United must start as
favourites here, having delivered two really impressive performances so
far.
West Bromwich Albion
v Middlesbrough – Sunday 1330
Form:
West Brom WL
Middlesbrough DW
Key signings:
West Brom – Matt Phillips (£5.5 million), Brendan Galloway
(loan)
Middlesbrough – Marten de Roon (£12 million), Viktor Fisher
(£3.8 million), Victor Valdes (free), Bernardo Espinoza (free)
Key departures:
West Brom – Stephane Sessegnon, Victor Anichebe
Middlesbrough – Jonathan Woodgate
Neither side is fancied to do well, but both already have a
morale boosting win under their belts. A closely fought match could be in store
here.
Manchester City v
West Ham United – Sunday 1600
Form:
Man City WW
West Ham LW
Key signings:
Manchester City – John Stones (£47.5 million), Leroy Sane
(£37 million), Gabriel Jesus (£27 million), Ilkay Gundogan (£21 million),
Nolito (£13.8 million)
West Ham – Andre Ayew (£20.5 million), Manuel Lanzini (£9.4
million) – previously played for club as loan player, Arthur Masuaku (£6
million)
Key departures:
Manchester City – Martin Demichelis
West Ham – James Tomkins
- It’s very early days, but
City are exactly where many people expected them to be – top of the table
and as the leading scorers in the league. With West Ham’s two main
forwards injured, City will certainly carry the larger goal threat here.

PREMIER LEAGUE MATCH PREVIEWS – SATURDAY AUGUST 20 – SUNDAY AUGUST 21
Stoke City v
Manchester City – Saturday 1230
Form:
Stoke D
Man City W
Key signings:
Stoke – Joe Allen (£13 million), Ramadan Sobhi (£5.5
million)
Manchester City – John Stones (£47.5 million), Leroy Sane
(£37 million), Gabriel Jesus (£27 million), Ilkay Gundogan (£21 million),
Nolito (£13.8 million)
Key departures:
Stoke – Peter Odemwingie, Steve Sidwell, Marc Wilson
Manchester City – Martin Demichelis
- Despite only winning on
the opening day via an own goal and a penalty, Manchester City must still
be fancied here. Jack Butland could be fit to return in the Stoke goal.
Burnley v Liverpool –
Saturday 1500
Form:
Burnley L
Liverpool W
Key signings:
Burnley – Steven Defour (£8 million), Nick Pope (£1.1
million)
Liverpool – Sadio Mane (£36 million), Georginio Wijnaldum
(£25 million), Loris Karius (£4.5 million)
Key departures:
Burnley – Joey Barton, Matt Gilks, Lloyd Dyer, Matt Taylor
Liverpool – Jordon Ibe, Joe Allen, Martin Skrtel, Jerome
Sinclair, Brad Smith
- Burnley are expected to
field their record signing, Belgian international midfielder Steven
Defour, for the first time. Despite the loss of Sadio Mane to what could
be a significant injury, expect Liverpool to add to their amazing first
day win over Arsenal.
Swansea City v Hull
City – Saturday 1500
Form:
Swansea W
Hull W
Key signings:
Swansea – Leroy Fer (£4.75 million), Mike van der Hoorn
(free)
Hull - Jonathan Edwards (free), Will Mannion (undisclosed
compensation)
Key departures:
Swansea – Ashley Williams, Andre Ayew, Eder, Alberto
Paloschi, Bafetimbi Gomis (loan)
Hull – Mohamed Diame, Ryan Taylor, Sone Aluko
- There was no doubt about
the surprise of the opening weekend, and it came at the KC Stadium were
Hull, despite all their problems, defeated champions Leicester. Although
Swansea also won last week, Hull could have great chance to make it a
fairytale start here.
Tottenham Hotspur v
Crystal Palace – Saturday 1500
Form:
Tottenham D
Crystal Palace L
Key signings:
Tottenham – Vincent Janssen (£18.6 million), Victor Wanyama
(£11 million)
Crystal Palace – Andros Townsend (£13 million), James
Tomkins (£10 million), Steve Mandanda (free)
Key departures:
Tottenham – Alex Pritchard, Federico Fazio (loan)
Crystal Palace – Dwight Gayle, Alex McCarthy, Brede
Hangeland, Marouane Chamakh, Adrian Mariappa, Yannick Bolasie, Mile Jedinak
- Tottenham were not
entirely convincing in drawing with Everton, but have the stronger side on
paper for this match and will start as favourites against Palace, who lost
to West Brom last time out. Spurs’ goalkeeper Hugo Lloris will miss four
weeks of football after last week’s injury, but will be replaced by the
more than capable Michel Vorm.
Watford v Chelsea –
Saturday 1500
Form:
Watford D
Chelsea W
Key signings:
Watford – Isaac Success (£12.5 million), Christian Kabasele
(£5.8 million), Brice Dja Djedje (£3 million), Jerome Sinclair (free), Juan
Camilo Zaniga (loan)
Chelsea – Michy Batshuayi (£33.2 million), N’Golo Kante (£32
million)
Key departures:
Watford – Almen Adbi, Jose Manuel Jurado,
Chelsea – Mohammed Salah, Baba Rahman (loan), Nathan Ake
(loan)
- Chelsea came through a
potentially difficult opening match against West Ham to bag three points,
and they must be favourites to make it six points here.
West Bromwich Albion
v Everton – Saturday 1500
Form:
West Brom W
Everton D
Key signings:
West Brom – Matt Phillips (£5.5 million)
Everton – Yannick Bolasie (£28 million), Ashley Williams
(£12 million), Idrissa Gueye (£7.1 million), Marten Stekelenburg (free)
Key departures:
West Brom – Stephane Sessegnon, Victor Anichebe
Everton – John Stones, Leon Osman, Tim Howard, Tony Hibbert,
Steven Pienaar
- Both teams will be fairly
satisfied with their first result – a 1-0 away win for West Brom and a
draw with Tottenham for Everton. Perhaps a draw is most likely here.
Leicester City v
Arsenal – Saturday 1730
Form:
Leicester L
Arsenal L
Key signings:
Leicester – Nampalys Mendy (£13 million), Ron-Robert Zieler
(£2.6 million), Ahmed Musa (undisclosed), Luis Hernandez (free)
Arsenal – Granit Xhaka (£34 million), Rob Holding (£2
million)
Key departures:
Leicester - N’Golo Kante, Andrej Kramaric, Mark Schwarzer
Arsenal – Tomas Rosicky, Mikel Arteta
- In contrast, this pairs
two sides who will definitely not be satisfied with their opening day
performance. Leicester fell to a shock defeat at Hull, while the Emirates
faithful turned on Arsenal after their defeat to Liverpool. Laurent Koscielny
is expected to return after his extended break, which should shore up
Arsenal’s defence, but they now have injuries in midfield to the likes of
Aaron Ramsey and Alex Iwobi. The best news of the week for Leicester is
that Riyad Mahrez has signed a new four year contract. Perhaps a score
draw here?
Sunderland v
Middlesbrough – Sunday 1330
Form:
Sunderland L
Middlesbrough D
Key signings:
Sunderland – Paddy McNair, Donald Love (£5.5 million
combined), Adnan Januzaj (loan)
Middlesbrough – Marten de Roon (£12 million), Viktor Fisher
(£3.8 million), Victor Valdes (free), Bernardo Espinoza (free)
Key departures:
Sunderland – Emmanuel Giaccherini, Danny Graham, Steven
Fletcher, Wes Brown
Middlesbrough – Jonathan Woodgate
- The return of this
particular North East derby to the Premier fixture programme. Perhaps
don’t expect many goals here, and if there is a winner, it could well be
by a single goal.
West Ham United v
Bournemouth – Sunday 1600
Form:
West Ham L
Bournemouth L
Key signings:
West Ham – Andre Ayew (£20.5 million), Manuel Lanzini (£9.4
million) – previously played for club as loan player, Arthur Masuaku (£6
million)
Bournemouth – Jordon Ibe (£15 million), Lys Mousset (£5.4
million), Lewis Cook (£10 million), Brad Smith (£6 million), Marc Wilson (£2
million), Nathan Ake (loan)
Key departures:
West Ham – James Tomkins
Bournemouth – Tommy Elphick, Matt Ritchie, Lee Tomlin
- Two sides who lost on the
first weekend, albeit both to teams who are among the favourites for the
title (Chelsea and Manchester United). Andre Ayew starts a lengthy layoff,
which will be a blow to the Hammers, but they still may have enough to see
off the Cherries.

PREMIER LEAGUE MATCH PREVIEWS – SATURDAY AUGUST 13 - MONDAY AUGUST 15
(Transfer information as of Thursday 1400)
Hull City v Leicester
City – Saturday 1230
Last year’s
positions: Hull 4th (Championship), Leicester 1st
Key signings:
Hull - Jonathan Edwards (free), Will Mannion (undisclosed
compensation)
Leicester – Nampalys Mendy (£13 million), Ron-Robert Zieler
(£2.6 million), Ahmed Musa (undisclosed), Luis Hernandez (free)
Key departures:
Hull – Mohamed Diame, Ryan Taylor, Sone Aluko
Leicester - N’Golo Kante, Andrej Kramaric, Mark Schwarzer
- Champions Leicester start
their title defence, and only one of their star players – N’Golo Kante –
has moved on. Nevertheless, they start as only seventh favourites at 33-1.
Hull are the rank outsiders at 1500-1 (no bookie has been bold enough to
quote 5000-1 on any club after last season), and have undoubtedly suffered
from being unable to appoint a permanent manager, with no new acquisitions
that will excite the faithful. Expect Leicester to start with a win here.
Burnley v Swansea
City - Saturday 1500
Last year’s
positions: Burnley 1st (Championship), Swansea 12th
Key signings:
Burnley – Nick Pope (£1.1 million)
Swansea – Leroy Fer (£4.75 million), Mike van der Hoorn
(free)
Key departures:
Burnley – Joey Barton, Matt Gilks, Lloyd Dyer, Matt Taylor
Swansea – Ashley Williams, Andre Ayew, Eder, Alberto
Paloschi, Bafetimbi Gomis (loan)
- If Burnley are to survive
in the Premier League, then this is an example of a match they need to
target for a win. Swansea seem to have little prospect of improving on
last year’s lower mid-table finish, especially as two key players have
left. That said, Burnley themselves have little cash to splash. A low
scoring draw may be a good bet here.
Crystal Palace v West
Bromwich Albion - Saturday 1500
Last year’s
positions: Crystal Palace 15th, West Brom 14th
Key signings:
Crystal Palace – Andros Townsend (£13 million), James
Tomkins (£10 million), Steve Mandanda (free)
West Brom – Matt Phillips (£5.5 million)
Key departures:
Crystal Palace – Dwight Gayle, Alex McCarthy, Brede
Hangeland, Marouane Chamakh, Adrian Mariappa
West Brom – Stephane Sessegnon, Victor Anichebe
- Two sides who finished
within a point of each other last year. Don’t expect a goal fest, but home
advantage and the exciting signing of Andros Townsend might give Palace
the edge.
Everton v Tottenham
Hotspur - Saturday 1500
Last year’s
positions: Everton 11th, Tottenham 3rd
Key signings:
Everton – Ashley Williams (£12 million), Idrissa Gueye (£7.1
million), Marten Stekelenburg (free)
Tottenham – Vincent Janssen (£18.6 million), Victor Wanyama
(£11 million)
Key departures:
Everton – John Stones, Leon Osman, Tim Howard, Tony Hibbert,
Steven Pienaar
Tottenham – Alex Pritchard, Federico Fazio (loan)
- Eveeton have spent some money
on a proven top flight performer in Ashley Williams, and it remains to be
seen who Everton will spend their new wealth on, and what impact Ronald
Koeman’s managerial expertise will have. Even with the now departed John
Stones in their defence last season, Everton leaked goals alarmingly.
Expect Tottenham to triumph here as their young squad continues to
develop.
Middlesbrough v Stoke
City - Saturday 1500
Last year’s
positions: Middlesbrough 2nd (Championship), Stoke 9th
Key signings:
Middlesbrough – Marten de Roon (£12 million), Viktor Fisher
(£3.8 million), Victor Valdes (free), Bernardo Espinoza (free)
Stoke – Joe Allen (£13 million), Ramadan Sobhi (£5.5
million)
Key departures:
Middlesbrough – Jonathan Woodgate
Stoke – Peter Odemwingie, Steve Sidwell
- Middlesbrough are another
promoted side who have a winnable home game on the opening day, and they
could well pull it off.
Southampton v Watford
- Saturday 1500
Last year’s
positions: Southampton 6th, Watford 13th
Key signings:
Southampton – Nathan Redmond (£11 million), Alex McCarthy
(£4 million), Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (undisclosed)
Watford – Isaac Success (£12.5 million), Christian Kabasele
(£5.8 million), Brice Dja Djedje (£3 million), Jerome Sinclair (free), Juan
Camilo Zaniga (loan)
Key departures:
Southampton – Sadio Mane, Victor Wanyama, Kelvin Davis,
Graziano Pelle, Gaston Ramirez, Paulo Gazzaniga (loan)
Watford – Almen Adbi, Jose Manuel Jurado,
- Southampton continue to
gain plaudits for their performances and style of play, but what will life
be like under Claude Puel? It also appears at first glance that their
squad is currently weaker than last season’s. Watford once again have a
new manager, Walter Mazzari, and if his big signings fire, the Hornets
could edge this one.
Manchester City v
Sunderland – Saturday 1730
Last year’s
positions: Man City 4th, Sunderland 17th
Key signings:
Manchester City – John Stones (£47.5 million), Leroy Sane
(£37 million), Gabriel Jesus (£27 million), Ilkay Gundogan (£21 million),
Nolito (£13.8 million)
Sunderland - None
Key departures:
Manchester City – Martin Demichelis
Sunderland – Emmanuel Giaccherini, Danny Graham, Steven
Fletcher, Wes Brown
- City have again spent the
summer investing in a wealth of talent, mostly in the forward positions,
although their biggest spend came in the last few days with a British
record outlay on defender John Stones. It remains to be seen how all of
these attackers will fit into the side, never mind where it leaves a
talented young player like Kelechi Iheanacho. David Moyes returns to
Premier League management with Sunderland, replacing the England-bound Sam
Allardyce, and perhaps because of the managerial change, they have not
been active in the transfer market. City start as title favourites, and as
favourites to win here.
Bournemouth v
Manchester United – Sunday 1330
Last year’s
positions: Bournemouth 16th, Man Utd 5th
Key signings:
Bournemouth – Jordon Ibe (£15 million), Lys Mousset (£5.4
million), Lewis Cook (£10 million), Brad Smith (£6 million), Nathan Ake (loan)
Manchester United – Paul Pogba (£89 million), Eric Bailly
(£30 million), Henrikh Mkhitaryan (£26.5 million), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (free)
Key departures:
Bournemouth – Tommy Elphick, Matt Ritchie, Lee Tomlin
Manchester United – Guillermo Varela (loan), Victor Valdes,
Nick Powell
- Two sides who have been
splashing the cash during the close season meet here. Whether or not
United fare better this season remains to be seen, but the Red Devils will
certainly be expecting to start with three points here.
Arsenal v Liverpool –
Sunday 1600
Last year’s
positions: Arsenal 2nd, Liverpool 8th
Key signings:
Arsenal – Granit Xhaka (£34 million)
Liverpool – Sadio Mane (£36 million), Georginio Wijnaldum
(£25 million), Loris Karius (£4.5 million)
Key departures:
Arsenal – Tomas Rosicky, Mikel Arteta
Liverpool – Jordon Ibe, Joe Allen, Martin Skrtel, Jerome
Sinclair
- Arsenal finished last
season strongly, but that was not enough to satisfy some supporters as
another year went by without a significant title challenge. Arsenal have made
just one major addition to the squad this summer. Many people are
expecting Liverpool to fare better this time now Jurgen Klopp has had more
time to mould the team in his style. This match – possibly the heavyweight
clash of the opening weekend – could be won by whoever performs to their
best on the day.
Chelsea v West Ham
United – Monday 2000
Last year’s
positions: Chelsea 10th, West Ham 7th
Key signings:
Chelsea – Michy Batshuayi (£33.2 million), N’Golo Kante (£32
million)
West Ham – Andre Ayew (£20.5 million), Manuel Lanzini (£9.4
million) – previously played for club as loan player, Arthur Masuaku (£6
million)
Key departures:
Chelsea – Mohammed Salah, Baba Rahman (loan), Nathan Ake
(loan)
West Ham – James Tomkins
- Antonio Conte takes charge of Chelsea, so can he do better than Jose Mourinho, avoid last season’s stories of player unrest and lead them to the title? Most bookmakers have Chelsea no better than fourth favourites, and it would be a big leap from tenth to first in one season. They also face a tricky opening game.
