Last week saw another great round of Premiership action, not many predicted that Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea would all drop points, certainly not whilst Arsenal were 4-0 up at Newcastle, and those who did predict it will have made a small fortune. All those sides have a chance to redeem themselves this weekend in what looks another great round of matches.
The highlight is undoubtedly the early kick off on Saturday which is the second Manchester derby of the season. Hopefully it will be a lot more entertaining than the 0-0 draw played out between the two sides in November. Man City set up very defensively for that match, and it was a similar case when they went to the Emirates and drew 0-0 with Arsenal. Another low scoring match is on the cards, under 2.5 goals is a good bet at 5/6, whilst Man Utd look a good bet to continue their great home record which has seen them drop just two points, 5/6 is a more than fair price on a home win.
Arsenal, who were on the receiving end of the most outstanding comeback in Premiership history on Saturday, face Wolves who were the team who inflicted Man Utd’s first Premiership loss this season on the same day. Wolves have by far the worst away record in the league, picking up just four points from twelve matches, and even the 1/4 on an Arsenal win looks value.
One of the best bets of the weekend could be Birmingham to beat Stoke at St Andrews, Birmingham have been poor travellers this season but won last week at West Ham and that was Birmingham’s third win in four games. They seem to be getting some joy out of Nikola Zigic at the moment and their odds of 6/4 to beat Wolves, who have lost their last three away matches, make them a strong bet.
Newcastle gained a great result last week against Arsenal but they were very poor in the first half and they have now failed to win in five games. Blackburn have won three of their last four home games and should really have won the game they lost against Spurs, if they replicate that performance they can beat Newcastle comfortably at 11/10 at the time of writing.
Amongst the other games at the weekend, Liverpool extending their good run with a home win against Wigan should be a formality at around 4/11, Liverpool are likely to gain ground on Spurs who have a tough trip to Sunderland. Sunderland are traditionally strong at home and they look a good bet in the draw no bet market at 4/5 at the moment.
