MANCHESTER UNITED v WEST BROM – Click here to bet

United are 14th on the table having played a game less than most of the other teams.  They got a much needed victory last time out, 3-1 away to Everton, but they are certainly missing the Old Trafford fans as they have yet to win at home in 4 starts taking just 1 point.

West Brom are 18th on the table and still looking for their first victory of the season after 8 matches.  They lost 1-0 at home to Tottenham last time out and they have taken just 1 point on the road this season.

BETTING

Manchester United 7/20

Draw 9/2

West Brom 33/4

Suggested Bet:  Handicap, Manchester United (-1) at 17/20

For this bet to land we need Manchester United to win by 2 goals or more and although their home form is concerning, West Brom are really battling and I would not be surprised to see a Manchester United 3-0 or 4-0 victory and as a matter of interest those exact scores are available at 7/1 and 25/2 at the time of writing.

Tottenham v Man City, Betting Preview & Prediction

TOTTENHAM v MANCHESTER CITY – Click here to bet

Tottenham are 2nd on the table with just 1 defeat in their opening 8 matches.  They have strung together a run of 3 successive victories beating West Brom 1-0 on the road last time out and their last home game was a 2-1 win over Brighton.

Manchester City have played 7 games and they sit 10th on the table and undefeated in their last 5 starts.  Last time out they drew 1-1 at home with Liverpool, the 5th successive Manchester City match which would have seen under 2.5 goal backers collect.

Tottenham won this fixture 2-0 last season.

BETTING

Tottenham 63/20

Draw 59/20

Manchester City 17/20

Suggested Bet:  Handicap, Tottenham (+1) at 19/20

For this bet to pay out we need Tottenham to either win the match or draw and I think there is a strong chance of that given Manchester City’s form this season.  They are not scoring nearly as prolifically as they have done in the past and they face a Tottenham side that is flying high.

Aston Villa v Brighton, Betting Preview & Prediction

ASTON VILLA v BRIGHTON – Click here to bet

Aston Villa got back on track with a 3-0 away win over Arsenal last time out, but prior to that they suffered back-to-back home defeats against Southampton and Leeds.  They are 6th on the table, 10 positions ahead of their opponents, Brighton who only have 1 win in 8 starts this season and are coming off a goalless home draw against Burnley.

Villa won this fixture 2-1 last season.

BETTING

Aston Villa 5/4

Draw 26/10

Brighton 22/10

Suggested Bet:  Aston Villa win at 5/4

I consider a play of 2.5 goals at 7/10, but in the end am leaning towards a Villa win as they have claimed some big scalps this season and Brighton have hardly impressed.

Newcastle v Chelsea, Betting Preview & Prediction

NEWCASTLE v CHELSEA – Click here to bet

Newcastle are 13th on the table and their last outing was a 2-0 loss at Southampton.  They have a 50% home record with 2 wins and 2 losses and their home matches averaged 3.8 goals a game with all 4 having delivered for over 2.5 goal backers.

Chelsea are 5th on the table and have strung a decent run of results together with 3 wins and 3 draws in their last 6.  They hammered Sheffield United 4-1 last time out and they are undefeated on the road with 2 wins and 2 draws.

The home team won this fixture 1-0 in both match-ups last season.

BETTING

Newcastle 11/2

Draw 7/2

Chelsea 5/10

Suggested Bet:  Handicap, Newcastle (+1) the draw at 11/4

For this bet to arrive Chelsea need to win the game by 1 goal exactly, something they have done in 3 of the last 4 EPL meetings against Newcastle.

Swallows v TS Galaxy, Betting Preview & Prediction

SWALLOWS v TS GALAXY

Both these sides are newcomers into the PSL and Swallows are going well with 7 points from their opening 9 including a 2-0 win away at Tshakhuma last time out and their last home game was a 1-0 home win over Bloem Celtic.

Galaxy are also undefeated with 2 draws and a victory in their opening 3 matches and they sit 7th on the log.  Last time out they played to a goalless draw away at Chiefs and both of their away games this season have finished in a draw.

These sides met in the GladAfrica Championship last season with the away team winning on each occasion.

Swallows 13/10

Suggested Bet:  Swallows win at 13/10

I have been impressed with what I have seen from Swallows so far and I think they can continue their strong start.
