Man City v Arsenal

There’s a lot of pressure for both teams going into this game, Mark Hughes’ job security looks to be in question, whilst the same can be said about Arsenal’s title ambitions. Luckily for Arsenal they have a captain who is willing to pitch in and not undermine the manager during these testing times……

3 points on Saturday will relieve all of the pressure for both teams, well until next weekend!  Arsenal fans can however take heart in knowing that they have not lost back to back Premiership games since losing to Everton,Liverpool and West Ham 58 games ago.  Last year’s result saw the Gunners beat City 3-1. 

Betting tips-  City have a poor record against Arsenal, in 23 league games, they’ve only managed to beat them once.  So at odds of 2.34 on Betfair, Arsenal look to be a good back to win this weekend.  I would also expect over 2.5 goals in this match, games involving City and the Gunners have produced 48 and 40 goals so far this season.  My main bet will be on ‘Over 2.5 goals’ at odds of 1.75. 

You may also be interested to know that Man City have never scored more that 1 goal in the 22 games they’ve played against Wenger’s men.  So assuming they do score one goal and history repeats itself, a 2-1 and 3-1 scoreline to Arsenal at odds of 10 and 19 on Betfair looks to be a tempting bet, back both scorelines for fun, keeping your stakes small.

UPDATE- Man City 3-0 Arsenal.  This game really didn’t go the way I was expecting!  City played some fantastic football and Robinho’s chip to score the second showed exactly why City splashed all the cash for him.  Arsenal on the other hand looked off form in front of goal and Wenger’s decision to not spend any money during the summer looks to be what’s costing them when they have a lot of key players injured and suspended.  Luckily for us, the main tip to back over 2.5 goals was a winner, although it was surprising to see the Gunner’s not get at least one goal in this game.

West Brom v Chelsea-After the midweek upset in the Carling Cup, Chelsea will be hoping to get back to winning ways in the Premiership.  Chelsea have never lost to West Brom in the Premiership, winning all six games they have played and in my opinion I don’t thing they will lose this game….but of course football is never easy!!

Betting tip:  Betfair have Chelsea priced at 1.33 to win this match, the odds are a little skinny for me.  So I’ll be backing John Terry to score at anytime, at odds of 9.4 on Betfair.

Arsenal v Man Utd- This game has to be the one that most Premiership football fans will be watching this weekend, Arsenal entertain rivals United at the Emirates.  The Gunners go into this game in the midst of their ‘mini crisis’ (losing one game) whereas United have an unbeaten run of 12 games in all competitions.  It would be wrong to rule out Arsenal due to their patched up team(due to suspensions and injuries), they have in the past managed to win when the odds were against them.  After completing this game United would have played all their title rivals away from home, at the moment they only have 1 point to show from these games.  United will be a threat with players like Berbatov, Rooney and Ronaldo, they certainly are a joy to watch when they all click.

Surely this game we will show us how the Arsenal players react when the pressure is on them, will they prosper or will they wilt?

Betting tips- United away from home are favourite to win this match at odds of 2.34 on Betfair.  But Manchester United haven’t won at the Emirates yet and have only have 1 win in 8 games away to Arsenal.  So the best bet would be to back the draw at odds of 3.3 currently on Betfair.  Also go for a small bet on Berbatov to score at anytime at odds of 3.35.

UPDATE- What a great match to watch, chances at both ends and some great football played by both of these title challengers.  I’m sure that if United had scored then they wouldn’t have ended up on the losing team.  The bet to go for the draw wasn’t successful this time, looking back at it, no matter how bad the Gunners’ last results have been, it was a little crazy for them not to be favourites when playing at home.

Lyon v Steaua Bucharest

Betting tip- A quick Champions League bet, the last time these two teams played a few weeks back it produced an 8 goal thriller, lets hope those defences are not tightened up tonight because I’m tipping over 2.5 goals, priced at 1.81 on Betfair.

Update- Lyon 2-0 Steaua Bucharest. Unfortunately this game didn’t bring the 8 goal thriller we saw in the last encounter, another goal and we would have made a small profit.
