Premiership Best Bets This Weekend Include Blackburn And Birmingham At Big Odds

 Subscribe in a reader

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.

Birmingham v Sheffield Wednesday FA Cup fourth preview

 Subscribe in a reader

Since meeting in the Championship in 2008/09, these clubs have experienced very different fortunes. Birmingham gained promotion and a measure of stability under Alex McLeish and new owners, Wednesday have endured relegation and dismissed two managers.

The beauty of the FA Cup is still its lack of respect for league positions, so the Owls have nothing to lose against a Premier League outfit preoccupied with a relegation battle. Wednesday will hope the new manager effect takes hold at St Andrews as former player Gary Megson continues his honeymoon period in the Hillsborough hot seat, and anyone looking to place an FA Cup bet should bear this in mind.

Alan Irvine left the club unable to reverse its habit of producing similar results in clumps

Birmingham vs Tottenham Hotspur preview

Game :- Birmingham vs Tottenham Hotspur

Barclays’ Premier League

St.Andrews’, Birmingham

Saturday, December 4, 2010- KO 15.00 UK.

Tottenham will look to improve their scratchy away form when they visit Birmingham City this weekend in the Premier League. Bet on Birmingham vs Tottenham after reading our betting preview with PaddyPower.

Tottenham are a force to be reckoned with at home, as was demonstrated by their 2-1 win at White Hart Lane over Liverpool last weekend. In comparison their away form has not been the best, having picked up only 10 points out of a possible 21.

Harry Redknapp’s injury woes were compounded last week against Liverpool as Rafael van der Vaart and Younes Kaboul joined Spurs’ already crowded treatment room. However Michael Dawson has been named in the squad for the first time since his injury picked up on England duty.

With Van der Vaart out, Redknapp is likely to play two strikers upfront instead of playing one solitary forward. However with Wilson Palacios not in the best of form, this could cause a few problems for Spurs in midfield.

Tottenham form- last five games- most recent first- Tottenham scorers in brackets

Tottenham 2-1 Liverpool ( Own goal, Aaron Lennon)

Tottenham 3-0 Werder Bremen ( Younes Kaboul, Luka Modric, Peter Crouch)
Arsenal 2-3 Tottenham ( Gareth Bale, Rafael van der Vaart, Younes Kaboul)
Tottenham 4-2 Blackburn ( Gareth Bale

After surprising everybody with a ninth place finish last season, Birmingham will be looking to push on into the European places this campaign. Manager Alex McLeish has given his side every chance of achieving their goal by making three quality signings on transfer deadline day. Midfielder Alexander Hleb, defender Martin Jiranek and winger Jean Beausejour have all sealed moves to St Andrews in what was a busy day for McLeish.

Czech defender Jiranek has left Spartak Moscow, where he was club captain, to join the Blues on a one year deal. The centre back has plenty of experience and will join a team who already have one of the tightest defences in the Premier League. Some football betting and tipping experts the side could qualify for Europe this year.

Chile’s World Cup star Beausejour has joined from Mexican side Club America, for a fee believed to be around
