English Premiership Betting - The Premiership Weekend Wager

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

Invisible Spurs?

A jam-packed spooky Saturday begins at The Emirates as Arsenal take on their North London rivals, Spurs. Arsenal are scarily priced at 8/15 and you can get around 9/2 for Houdini's ghosts: they were invisible last week as Stoke saw through them. I think Arsenal will win this but I wouldn't touch them, not even with an invisible barge pole at 8/15.

Draw your lot

Up at the Reebok, BOWLton face the Blues of Chelsea and Chelsea are 2/5. Again, the boooookies are having an evil laugh at our expense - keep the invisible barge pole away from Ancelotti's lot. BOWWWWLton, however, are good value at around 11/2. If I was forced at barge-pole-point to choose one of these bets I'd duck out of the way and go for the draw (3/1).

A grey day in Burnley

Boring Hull travel westwards to BUUUURnley (how's my Lancashire accent so far?) and this game may just be as dull as the one they took part in (I was going to say played but they didn't) last week but Burnley (10/11) will shade this grey encounter, only one goal in it, though. You can get 11/5 the draw on 5/2 about the Humbersiders, or Yorkshiremen. Poor price.

Vanilla or Toffee?

Up in Merseyside, the blue side will welcome Aston Vanilla and Ice creamed when I saw the prices. Surely the Evertonians should be odds on playing on their own turf against O'Neill's inconsistent men. They're not. 11/8 Everton; 13/8 Villa; 21/10 the draw. My money's on the toffee men.

Losing Impetus

The Red side of the city will be in London this week as their team visit the cottage, Craven thereof. Fulham started the season well but have since lost their impetus. As has Rafa Benitez at Anfield. I know, I know, they beat Man Utd last week and they were helped along the way by C I Div, also known as Di Vic, you might know him as Vidic: the man who loves getting sent off. One result does not make a manager. And, yes, I know, Benitez was manager when Liverpool won the European cup BUT he did it with Gerrard Houllier's team. Hodgson's men may perk up on Saturday and hammer another nail into Rafa's coffin. Get on Fulham at 11/4: Tesco Value. 23/10 the draw. 4/5 Liverpool: Asda Price. Not the best.

Close on the Coast

Down on the South coast, Pompey play hosts to Wigan and are on good form judging by their Carling cup hammering of Stoke on Tuesday. They'll need to be against a Wigan side full of confidence. Rodallega, Hu might go and score again this week and earn your side a point. Close game here, as suggested by the odds: 11/5 the draw.

Briefly

In the Midlands, Stoke will beat Wolves. It is as simple as that. Who says I don't get straight to the point? Get on Stoke at 10/11.

The Man from Diamanti

Up in the North East, Sunderland host the man from Diamanti and his team from West Ham. He was a hero last week as he came on to steer the hammers to a priceless draw against high flying Arsenal and he could be the master card again this week as West Ham take their kings, who were previously jokers, to the Stadium of light. As darkness descends upon Teesside, Zola's boys may just be taking the spoils and are wickedly priced at 11/4. I'm having a bit of that.

Travellers

Poor travellers Blackburn are not travelling far this week for their spanking. They head a few miles south to Manchester to give Rooney et al a field day. Expect a cricket score: they like cricket in Lancashire. Man Utd are 1/7. Bump up your accas with some of that. It's 9/2 about the draw and 14/1 Blackburn. Horrendous.

City Rivals

The last game next week is on Sunday at St Andrew's for Birmingham and Man City to play in. Man City will shade this one and are decently priced at 4/5.

Wager of the Weekend

West Ham to beat Sunderland at 11/4; Stoke to beat Wolves at 10/11 and Pompey Wigan draw (21/10). Well over £200 for your tenner. Frightening.

Three Draws

Three draws is one of the best bets in football - you always get over 30/1 regardless how close the matches are. If they're not expected to be as close the odds rocket. Either choose your own three draws or follow my advice and win a wad of cash: Fulham/Liverpool; Everton/Villa and Bolton/Chelsea. You'll definitely get over 40/1 for these three. Over £200 for a fiver.
