LAST WEEK - MAIN PICK BORO WON AT 7/2!

CHELSEA ARE VALUE AT 5/4
Su Nov 6 – 4.00 pm ko (SS1)
It’s a sign of the times that United find themselves at a top-priced 11/5 with bet365 for their home game against Chelsea on Sunday. That’s the first time United have been available at over treble-your-money odds to win a Premiership match at Old Trafford, but not too surprising considering their humbling loss to Boro last weekend (but no surprise to all the ‘in the game’ readers who hopefully took my advice and lumped on at 7/2!).

At the Riverside, the weaknesses in the United side were displayed for all to see, and they can take no comfort from their home form either. They’ve won only once at home this season and, with the likes of Man City, Spurs and Blackburn all nicking points in Manchester, the trip will hold no fears for Chelsea. Chelsea have been guilty of some slack defending recently, but Mourinho won’t allow that to happen here, and the 5/4 on Chelsea is the value bet of the match.

Live Game Pick: Chelsea @ 5/4


CITY 9/1 TO FINISH ABOVE THE REDS
Such is United’s form this season, they now find themselves below Manchester City in the standings, and we go 9/1 that City will finish above the Reds at the end of the campaign (1/33 Man Utd). With the Citizens looking vastly improved under Stuart Pearce, that price could have its backers, while the 12/1 for Ferguson to be the first top-flight manager to leave his club this term could also come under pressure depending on results this week. He’s also 5/1 not to be manager of United on the final day of the season, with Martin O’Neill seen as the most likely replacement at 7/4.

Chelsea can be the cornerstone of our Premiership acca this weekend, along with Blackburn to beat Charlton at 13/10. The Addicks don’t have don’t have a great record at Ewood Park (lost five of their last seven visits), and could be without some key players. West Ham (5/6) should be too good for West Brom, while Newcastle can be backed with confidence at 8/13 to beat Birmingham. The Toon are unbeaten at home since the arrival of Michael Owen, who is 7/2 to open the scoring on Saturday (money back if he scores the last goal in the game instead!). A £25 acca on our four fancied teams pays out £402.31 for a £25 stake, which includes a bet365 (up to 60% available every weekend).

Suggested Premiership Acca:

Chelsea, Blackburn, Newcastle & West Ham – pays £402.31 (£25 stake)
