Premiership - Round 4

It was only a week ago when everyone thought that Manchester United and Arsenal are not in the same league. Arsenal looked doomed after Manchester City raided them off their best striker while United… well, with Sir Alex at the helm you are always a huge favourite… Still, the first 3 rounds taught us that anything could happen as Arsenal scored 10 goals in their first two matches while Manchester United managed losing to Burnly.
This season, the title race is wide open for the top-4 clubs (sorry, but Manchester City and Tottenham will have to settle for a Europa League spot), as Arsenal managed to display great football even without Adebayor and Toure and Manchester United got weaker while Liverpool and Chelsea kept the same squads, more or less.
Manchester United host Arsenal on Saturday for a battle between two teams who could win the title.
Well, let’s see what you think about this match:




You should also pay attention to the match involving Everton and Wigan. The embarrassment of the 1-6 loss to Arsenal on their season opener was supposed to motivate last season's 5th place finishers to win their next match, but with another loss to Burnly and the release of Lescott it seems Everton will not be able to repeat last season’s achievement.

The English Premier League 2009/10 season

This past Sunday’s Community Shield featured the two top title contenders, (excuse me Liverpool fans), in great performance and showing mid-season form. The four goals scored and the penalty shoot-out gave us a great taste of things to come in the ’09-’10 EPL season.

If we put the title battle aside, a more interesting battle in this upcoming season is shaping up to be the battle for fourth place which brings with it a Champions League birth.

Arsenal released two of its stars from last season, Adebayor and Toure, to the rebuilt and cash-rich Manchester City that is positioned to be its direct rival for a spot in the Champions League. We should also pay close attention to Tottenham that got stronger, on paper at least, with the signings of Crouch and Bassong, not to mention Redknapp's first full season. Add Everton and Aston Villa to the race for fourth and you can anticipate a close and exhausting battle for the Champions League’s last spot.

The Premier League starts again this Saturday and there are two matches we should pay attention to: Tottenham – Liverpool, and Everton - Arsenal. All four of these squads should battle it out all season long and each even has an outside shot at a major upset and capturing the league title. For these two featured matches, the BetUknow community predicts away wins for both Liverpool and Arsenal. What do you think?

Back in business!

Few would doubt that the summer break has taken its toll on us. Not only did we have to manage without football, but we also had to go through the transfer fuss made by two clubs – Real Madrid and Manchester City – while the rest of the pack completed some solid signings, but not more than that. One might call this “Boring”…

Lucky for us, this time is just about over as we get closer and closer to the season’s kickoff. And as in past seasons, I will be here to give you betting tips for all Premiership matches, Champions League matches and more.

The Community Shield on August 9nd is up first as champion Manchester United plays FA Cup holder Chelsea in what is expected to be a football extravaganza! Let’s hope this will mark a great start to a great football season. We really can’t wait for it to start.
