Betting: Goals galore expected as Spurs host Man City at White Hart Lane September 29, 2016 TOTTENHAM host Manchester City on Sunday in a match that could go a long way to deciding the direction of this season’s Premier League trophy. These two finished third and fourth last term but currently sit first and second in the table, and look to be among this year’s front-runners for the title. Unsurprisingly, both [...]
Plucky Foxes to settle for a draw against stuttering Manchester United September 22, 2016 LAST season’s champions travel to the FA Cup winners on Saturday lunchtime as Manchester United host Leicester. Having started his United career with a Community Shield win over the Foxes, things aren’t looking quite as positive for Jose Mourinho as it did on that sunny day at Wembley. Three successive wins were brought to a [...]
Chelsea can topple Arsenal in another fiery London derby September 22, 2016 PLENTY has happened at Chelsea since they were last beaten in the league by Arsenal. Since 29 October 2011, the Blues have been through five managers, won as many trophies, gone from champions to tenth, and even had time to sell David Luiz to PSG before buying him back. Change hasn’t been as quick at [...]
Betting: Boro have been sweet so far but Toffees should chew them up September 15, 2016 Everton have enjoyed an impressive opening to the season. They’re one of only four unbeaten teams in the league, sit just two points off the top of the table, and also smashed Yeovil in the cup. Tomorrow teatime they face Middlesbrough, who should be similarly pleased with their encouraging start. Draws against Stoke and West Brom, alongside a Tees-Wear derby victory against Sunderland, have [...]
Betting: No Euro Blues for Chelsea who look good for a win at the Bridge September 15, 2016 Big nights under the lights tend to come midweek when Chelsea meet Liverpool. Between 2004 and 2009, the pair met 10 times in the Champions League, seeing out some classic encounters. This season, however, it’s a Friday night where Blues meet Reds, with neither side involved in Europe for the first time since the 1993/94 campaign. [...]
Betting: Big Sam to banish Euro misery with win over Slovakia September 1, 2016 Sam Allardyce’s reign as England manager begins on Sunday afternoon as the Three Lions face Slovakia in Trnava. The road to the 2018 World Cup in Russia starts here for Allardyce and his squad, who will be looking to put the disappointment of this summer’s European Championships behind them. Those hoping for revolution from the [...]
Football betting: Blunt Hammers can hold up Manchester City – but not for long August 25, 2016 Pep Guardiola couldn’t have asked for a much better start to life at Manchester City. His four games have seen four wins, 12 goals scored and only two conceded. The Spaniard has taken to English football like a duck to water. West Ham, City’s opponents on Sunday, haven’t had quite as smooth a start to the [...]
Football betting: History repeating with Spurs and Liverpool set to share spoils August 25, 2016 For both Tottenham and Liverpool fans, the wait for a league title is long overdue. It’s been 55 years since Spurs were champions, and the most recent of Liverpool’s 18 wins came in 1990. Neither have won since the formation of the Premier League. Both have come close in recent years – Liverpool narrowly missing out [...]
Betting: Crisis club Hull set for one-way ticket back to the Championship August 11, 2016 Gaining promotion to the Premier League should be a reason to celebrate, but for Hull fans it’s looking increasingly like a season of pain is on its way. While most teams are strengthening their squads to compete with the step up in quality, Hull’s owners are instead getting rid of players as they look to [...]
Betting: Conte’s men can return Prem title to the King’s Road August 11, 2016 There has been more than £500million spent on transfers already this summer, and the upcoming season must be the most open in Premier League history. Leicester provided a 5,000/1 shock when winning the 2015/16 title, but realistically this year looks to be between the two Manchester clubs and Chelsea. Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United snapped up [...]
