Premiership betting tips: Chelsea v Manchester United- This Sunday it’s a massive top of the table clash between last year’s Premiership runners up and Champions.  Alot will say that Rio Ferdinand will be a big miss for United, but anyone who saw him come against Torres two weeks ago will know that he’s not been at his best in recent weeks.  Out of the 34 times the teams have met in the Premiership, the Blues have won 10  and the Reds 10, with the rest of the games drawn.  The odds for a Chelsea win is 2.06 (21/20) and United are at odds of 4.3 (7/2). 

Both teams won’t want to lose this game and both teams will surely settle for a draw if the chance should occur, you can back these at odds of 3.45(12/5) on Betfair.   But the main betting tip of the day should be to back Drogba to score at anytime, he’s been in good form lately and will be a handful for an untried United defensive pairing.

Liverpool v Wigan- Babel and Torres are likely to be missing after they both picked up injuries mid-week on international duty, where Wigan also have doubts about Heskey and Zaki.  Wigan have a poor record against the top 4, in 17 attempts they have never beaten any of them.  When both teams met last year this fixture ended 1-1. 

Betting tip (loser):Liverpool have shown that they have the winning mentality to lift the Premiership this season with a come back display against Manchester City and Wigan may find it hard to breach the Liverpool defence if their top strikers Zaki and Heskey are missing.  The odds show that the home team are the big favourites to win this match (odds of 1.45).  It’s a risk to oppose the home team, but I’m predicting Wigan to get a point at Anfield, especially if key man Heskey plays.  The best option is to lay Liverpool, currently at odds of 1.46 on Betfair (so if you want to win £10 you will only have to put down the liability of £4.60).

UPDATE- Liverpool 3-2 Wigan. For long periods in the game it looks like this bet might just come off, anyone who bets in play may well have been able to trade out to guarantee profit when Wigan were in the lead.  But you have to give credit to Liverpool for the character they’ve show in the last two games when they’ve trailed (although no matter what Benitez says the sending off did help a little bit).  Also great praise has to given to Zaki at the moment I would say he is the most on form striker in the Premiership, what a great volley!

After the international friendlies mid-week it’s back to the Premiership. Portsmouth vs. Man Utd looks to be an interesting match, United are under strength in their second game so another draw may be on the cards. Arsenal take on Fulham, surely another 3 points for the Gunners and another step closer for us to winning our ‘Top at the end of month- August’ bet?  If only betting was  that easy!!

Betting tip-  Liverpool v Middlesbrough, Torres has picked up where left off last season and has already opened his goal scoring account.  Back him to score at anytime (odds of 2.04 on Betfair) and to be first goal scorer (odds of 4.6).  Hopefully Benitez won’t be in his rotating moods and he’ll let the Spanish hitman start the game.

Tottenham v Sunderland- It’s always interesting to see an ex player come up against his old club,  Steed Malbranque was one of the better Tottenham players last year, and he’ll line up against them for Sunderland.  As a fun bet, back him to score at anytime tomorrow, odds of 6.50 on William Hill. Chimbonda will be another player to look out for.

UPDATE:  Not a very good start the season at all for us on the betting front, I’m feeling a bit like Paul Jewell’s Derby who haven’t won in the league since September 2007, hopefully we won’t need to wait that long for a winner!!  Malbranque nearly scored against his old club and the fun bet nearly came off, only the cross bar got in the way.  Torres couldn’t win our main bet of the day either, making it a miserable a weekend of betting.
