Man United get a 1/7 quote from
bet365 for their match at home to Charlton this weekend (the Addicks are a dismissive 18/1!), while main rivals Chelsea (
1/4 bet365) entertain Middlesbrough, and for both of these games the question is surely not ‘what will the result be?’ but ‘what will the score be?’.
Watford went to Old Trafford last week and United put four past them and followed that up with four more at White Hart Lane. Considering that Charlton have already conceded three or more on seven occasions this season, let’s go for a correct score cocktail of 4-0 (
15/2 bet365), 5-0 (
14/1) and 6-0 (
25/1). As for Chelsea, we’ll swerve the correct score market and have a punt on Frank Lampard to score first at 9/2 with
bet365. Lampard has scored eight goals in eight games which suggest he could also be a steal at 5/4 to score anytime.
The early kick off is at the Madejski Stadium (ko 12.45pm, live betting available) and
bet365 make Reading a more than generous 11/10 to grab all three points against Aston Villa - and who would back them against them in their current form? The Royals have won eight of their ten home clashes against teams which lie outside the current top four, while Villa haven’t won any of their last eight away games. Enough said!
Pick of the 3.00pm games this weekend could be Sheffield United, who are surely worth a dabble at
bet365's 19/10 to beat a Spurs side which can’t seem to handle life outside of White Hart Lane. They go into our Premiership acca this weekend along with United (1/7), Chelsea (1/4), Reading (11/10) and Arsenal (1/4 v Wigan), which pays out nearly £120 for a tenner stake, including a
bet365 acca bonus of 10%.
Goals could be the order of the day when Newcastle play Liverpool. Liverpool are fancied to edge it at 10/11, but have a bigger bet on the ‘overs’ at Evens with
bet365. The Reds have scored 14 goals in their last seven games, while Newcastle have scored 11 in their last 5 homes. On the other hand, goals could be at a premium at Frattan Park as both Pompey and their opponents Man City have been very light of goals of late, which makes the 4/6 a must ‘unders’ bet with
bet365.In other games, Fulham can frustrate Bolton at the Reebok to force a draw (
13/5 bet365), while Everton may have to settle for the same result (
11/5) when they entertain Blackburn. The West Ham v Watford has the look of a 0-0 draw at
8/1, but we’ll of course be backing the ‘No Goalscorer’ option at the same price as own goals don’t count in this market.
