Interesting weekend of action in the EPL on the betting front.
Stoke 12/5 v Man City 13/10
A lot have tipped up City as being the bet of the weekend. The price is pretty tempting. However Stoke have put it up to the best sides in the EPL at home and even in a bad run of form can be expected to create a dogfight today. City have yet to prove this season that they can eke out wins on the road so I will stay clear.
Arsenal 1/2 v West Ham 13/2
Both teams in very good form and a fine game awaits. Fancy Arsenal to win but certainly not worth betting on.
Aston Villa 8/11 v Wigan 5/1
Villa come into this game in winning mode and on the scent of the leaders. Wigan are after selling Palacios and Heskey while Valencia and Kirkland are injured. Even with a host of players unavailable Villa should have enough to dispose of Wigan. Cant believe we are as high as 8/11. Iâll stick with my mantra tho of not betting for or against my team.
Bolton 9/5 v Tottenham 17/10
Megson had a rant at his fans during the week so the atmosphere could be a little edgy at the Reebok this afternoon. Are Tottenham good enough to take advantage. Not for me. Jermaine Defoe is injured and Harry Redknapp aint got a clue what his best side is. Saw Spurs at Wigan a few weeks back and if they produce a performance similar they will be beaten.
Fulham evs v Pompey 31/10
Both teams in need of a win and are struggling for goals. Has draw written all over it
Hull 5/4 v West Brom 11/4
Watched Hull during the week at West Ham. It was one of the worst performances I have ever seen from an EPL side. Phil âSunbedâ Brown may expect a bit of a response today but I think 11/4 is far too big for West Brom. My NAP of the week is a safer one. Lay Hull @ 4/5 on BF
Middlesboro v Blackburn - who cares. No bet
Man Utd 2/5 v Everton 11/1
Dont expect Everton to roll over but are missing Cahill and Feillaini. Utd are in cruise control at the moment. Ladbrokes go 11/10 that Utd win to nil while PP go 11/5 for Utd to win both halves. Both worth a few shekels
Newcastle 13/8 v Sunderland 19/10
Newcastle are in complete freefall at the moment. Think there will be a fair amount of goals in this one. A 2-2 draw is about 16/1 and worth a fiver. PP have it priced at 11/1 the tight cunts.
Liverpool 6/4 v Chelsea 9/4
Neither team fully convincing at the moment. The game needs an early goal or else this could turn into a predictable snore fest. First goal will win the game I reckon. No bet
The championship is as unpredictable as always. The one that stands out is Swansea 13/10 away at Southampton. Reading are 17/10 to win at QPR which is a fair price given QPR have been playing well of late. Might head along to that game.
The Old Firm double pays at about 4/5.
