Premier League Betting

After the international break the hurly-burly of domestic football returns this weekend in two intriguing Liverpool versus Manchester match-ups.

Much has been made of Liverpool’s recent form with only an ill-deserved penalty rescuing the Reds from yet another embarrassing defeat against Birmingham City last time out. Rafa Benitez’s side host Manchester City on Saturday who have stumbled in recent weeks after a promising start. Even though their form is ‘awful’ (so says Glen Johnson) they should be able to do enough to beat City at 4/5. (more…)

Arsene Wenger must be scratching his head after Arsenal’s late capitulation to West Ham on Sunday afternoon. Rarely have I seen a side dominate an away match so comprehensively without escaping with the three points and it must worry the Arsenal manager that his team failed to put Gianfranco Zola’s side to the sword.

Arsenal host North London rivals Spurs on Saturday lunchtime in a match they should win comfortably. After a promising start Spurs have suddenly started to look vulnerable and were beaten at home by Glenn Whelan’s late winner for Stoke last time out. Even at 4/7 I’d be siding with Arsenal to win this one. (more…)

To say that Liverpool flatter to deceive season after season would be something of an understatement. Rafa Benitez has spent over £220 million since taking over at the club and fans might well question where those many millions have gone when the Spaniard was forced to field Lucas and Jay Spearing in central midfield against Sunderland last weekend. The Reds’ title challenge could be all but over by Sunday afternoon as Man Utd are visitors to Anfield.

Alex Ferguson’s side have looked surprisingly vulnerable defensively this season with Rio Ferdinand looking out of sorts and England hopeful Ben Foster suffering from what the Guardian rather cruelly called ‘talent-knack’. Edwin van der Sar returned in their unconvincing 2-1 win over Bolton and should add some much needed composure to the back four whilst the focus will undoubtedly be on Michael Owen who returns to his former club.

Despite Chelsea’s recent blip in their away trip to Wigan they still look very much like the team to beat in the Premier League this season. With Joe Cole and new signing Yuri Zhirkov returning from injury the options available to manager Carlo Ancelotti are only increasing and the London side can continue their excellent start to the season with victory at Aston Villa in Saturday lunchtime’s clash.

Apart from their win at Anfield, Aston Villa have failed to hit the heights of last season and a draw last time out against Manchester City was a fair result. Martin O’Neill will do well to match last season’s sixth place finish this time out and I can see Chelsea further denting Villa’s European ambitions at 5/6. (more…)

With their regular Champions League meetings it feels like Chelsea face Liverpool every other week in pursuit of one of their many prizes. Their last meeting was the memorable 4-4 draw at Stamford Bridge although I doubt we’ll see anything quite so thrilling this time around.

A week ago we’d all have confidently backed Chelsea to win this one but their implosion at Wigan showed previously unseen chinks in the Blues armour. They go into this one also without Petr Cech after his red card last time out. I actually fancy Liverpool to get something out of this game and Fernando Torres looks very much like the man to do it.
