English Premiership Betting - The Premiership Weekend Wager

Sporting predictions by Chris Clegg - Putting your money where your mouth is!

A Blue day for Chelsea?

The early kick off on Saturday is at Villa Park as Chelsea come to town. Now Chelsea are tough opposition, don't get me wrong, but the Blues really should not be odds on (4/5 in fact) to win away at Villa; O Neil's men are rarely priced against on their turf but for reasons only the boooookies know, they're incredibly priced at 18/5 - yes, nearly 4/1 against winning - something they've done more than lose at the park this season: tasty odds, so tasty that I'm backing the draw at 12/5.

Blue Brummies

The Blues of Birmingham swap places with Chelsea - not at the top of the league, don't be silly - they do replace them in the capital, though, as they head for the Emirates, where they will be hit for six by 1/6 priced Arsenal - a pathetic price, yes, but fair enough as Wenger's boys have been going to town on everyone who's willing to go there and the Birmingham boys will be sent packing back to the Midlands with nothing more than a ‘tail' of woe between their tired legs.

Bolton ‘Mustapha' Beating

It will be a similar story for Bolton at Old Trafford. Hopefully the referee will be fit enough to keep up with the amount of goals United manage. Again, turning the odds on their head is not a bad call - United are 1/5 and they may just batter Bolton to the tune of five. The Wanderers, it has to be said, are fairing rather well this season, just under mid-table, which is the highest they'll ever be. Megson's men's “Riga' Mustapha chance of getting them something out of the game”, some Lancastrians claim. I'm afraid not, it will be Good Knight Vienna for Zat et al at half time on Saturday. Expect Fergie's army to enter the fray with a vengeance after a lacklustre performance last time out against Sunderland.

Stealers

Speaking of Sunderland, Brucey's boys' bonus at Old Trafford last week will give them some confidence as the entertain Liverpool this week up at the Stadium of Light. Bent Darren may steal a goal and Jones may think “we Kenwyne”, but I'm afraid I don't concur. The Black Cats are the same price to beat Liverpool as Villa are to beat Chelsea, and far less likely to do so. Get on Liverpool at 4/5. Scousers like stealing (apparently) and they'll steal the points here.

Everton will pack a punch against the Wolves

Up in Merseyside, the Blue side of the city find themselves with Wolves to contain and contain they will manage. They may also send them packing back to Molineux minus a few goals. Everton have started playing now and are handily priced at 4/9. Get on it.

The Houdini Act

A similar story down on the south coast as Harry Houdini returns to his old ship - the one he disappeared from just before it started sinking. “There's been a takeover!” The pompey-ites” cry, “Things are about to change”. Well, a change is as good as a holiday, they say, but there'll be no change on Saturday and Peter will Crouch down under the goalposts to head the Tottenham takeover on Saturday; Robbie will also be Keane to make an impact, but it could be Defoe who is Jer'main' man to score on Saturday.

Avram's a good appointment for Pompey I Grant you, but he won't make a difference on Saturday and if Calamity James isn't at the races, Spurs may romp home. 4/5 about Spurs isn't bad; you can get 18/5 about Pompey and stranger things have happened - last time out, for instance. Not this time.

Will Peter Reid the Script?

The final Saturday fixture sees Stoke and West Ham do battle at the Britannia and Stoke will rule as Pulis' new number two, Peter ‘Reids' the script perfectly. Close match but a home win at 23/20 is where your money should be heading.

S & M

Sunday sees two games up in the North East where Wigan are wonderfully priced at 4/1 to whip Man City and I have a funny feeling that Roberto Martinez may be into a bit of S & M. Wigan may just spank and maul Mark's millionaires, who are ridiculously priced at odds on at 8/11. Join Martinez and have some fun by backing Wigan at home.

Burn Baby Burn...betting inferno!!!

The other match is at Ewood park as there will be some burning going on, Blackburn and Burnley. The Blackburners will emerge victorious from the flames. 3/4 will fire up your accas. Light up, light up, as if you have a choice - run to the booooookies NOW!!!

Wager of the week

Stoke (23/20) to beat the Hammers; Villa and Chelsea draw at 12/5; Arsenal to beat Birmingham at 1/6; Everton to beat Wolves at 4/9; Liverpool to win at Sunderland at 4/5 and Man Utd to beat Bolton at 1/5. The six-timer pays over 25/1 at Hills so half a monkey for a tenner, where else could you get that?

Fun in the Sunday?

Two homes: Blackburn and Wigan. Your tenner would scoop just under £80. Tempted?
