PREMIERSHIP BETTING PREVIEW 16th / 17th AUGUST 2008

Saturday 16th August

Arsenal v West Bromwich Albion

Promoted Champions West Brom (16/1 with Boylesports) have taken over the mantle of the “yo-yo” side, unable to survive in the top flight for more than a season or two. However, in Tony Mowbray they have one of the most promising English managers and seemed better equipped for the Premiership this time round. However, in Arsenal (2/9 with Blue Square) at the Emirates Stadium, they have drawn one of the worst possible fixtures to open their 2008-09 campaign. In finishing third behind Manchester United and Chelsea last season, Arsenal were unbeaten at home, conceding just 11 goals in 19 games, while scoring 37. A short price, but must be a banker home…

Premiership Preview 2008/09 – A preview of the 2008/2009 Premier League season

FOOTBALL – PREMIERSHIP 2008-09 SEASON PREVIEW
The race for the Premiership title is likely to be lead by reigning champions and 2007-08 Champions’ League winners Manchester United. They are likely to be hotly pursued by Chelsea, last season’s runners-up in both competitions. Although on last season’s form they seem unlikely to challenge the top two for the title, neither Arsenal nor Liverpool can be dismissed from the title race. Certainly they must be well-fancied to challenge for the remaining two Champion’s League qualifying positions, at the very least. Contenders for the remaining European place, in the UEFA Cup are more difficult to predict. Based on last season’s form, any of Everton, Aston Villa, Portsmouth and Manchester City could grab the UEFA Cup spot. The 6th place side could also qualify…

Birmingham and Reading set for Relegation?

feedprem

It’s all looking interesting at the wrong end of the Premiership table, as Birmingham City, Reading, Fulham and Bolton fight it out to avoid being the two clubs joining Derby in the Championship next season. Fulham and Bolton have strung some wins together recently to claw their way out of the drop zone. Indeed, it would take a severe fluke (or the hammering that Chelsea need to win the Premiership title) for Bolton to go down now, and that is reflected in their 200/1 odds to be relegated (Blue Square, Bet365 and 888sport).

So leaving Bolton out of the equation, it’s any two from three – and only Fulham know that a win away at Portsmouth should be enough to keep them up – The…

Manchester United 1/6 Favourites to win the Premier League

Manchester United go into Sunday’s final round of Premiership games knowing that a win against Wigan Athletic will guarantee that Sir Alex Ferguson’s side will retain their Premier League Championship trophy for another season, regardless of how rivals Chelsea fare against Bolton Wanderers. Both United and Chelsea are level on points going into the final game, something that has not happened in 40 years, since United were beaten to the summit by rivals Manchester City on the final day. United’s goal difference is far superior to Chelsea’s though, so it would take a miracle for both teams to win an Chelsea to win the title – Avram Grant’s side would need to score 18 more goals than United to snatch the title in this manner!

Manchester United’s…
