Chelsea go in search of a third consecutive league win on Tuesday night
"Arsenal/Arsenal is available to back at [2.28] in the Half Time/Full Time market, so given that Arsene Wenger’s side regularly score first half goals then this also looks a decent wager."
In the first of his midweek non-televised game previews, Mike Norman says that the big three clubs on show will all record victories. Best Bet: Back Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea in a Betfair Multiple at [3.4].
Arsenal [1.5] v Everton [8.6]; The Draw [4.5]
There are fifteen Premier League games to go for Arsenal in their quest to be crowned champions of England, and you get the feeling that they will have to win at least 12 as slip-ups at this stage of the season can be very costly. Their first obstacle comes in the shape of unpredictable Everton, but if the Gunners play as well as we know they can then they should take all three points.
It's been goals galore in this fixture in recent years with Arsenal scoring three (twice), four (twice), six and seven goals against Everton since 2004. I fancy we'll see goals again on Tuesday evening so Over 2.5 Goals at [1.88] looks a good opportunity to profit. Arsenal/Arsenal is available to back at [2.28] in the Half Time/Full Time market, so given that Arsene Wenger's side regularly score first half goals then this also looks a decent wager.
Manchester United [1.34] v Aston Villa [10.0]; The Draw [6.0]
Despite Aston Villa appearing to return to form it's difficult to look beyond yet another victory at Old Trafford for Manchester United. Sir Alex Ferguson's men have won 11 of their 12 league games on home soil this season, averaging almost three goals per game. Villa will take hope from their 1-0 victory here last year, but prior to that United had beaten Villa on 15 of the previous 16 occasions.
With Villa coming into a bit of form (three wins on the bounce) this should be an entertaining encounter with plenty of goalmouth action. I fancy both sides to be level at half time (The Draw is available to back at [2.9] in the Half Time market), possibly by a scoreline of 1-1 ([8.8]), before United run out winners towards the end. The Over 2.5 Goals option can be backed at [1.7], whilst in the Correct Score market, the 2-1 [9.4] and 3-1 [13.0] options make most appeal.
Sunderland [6.0] v Chelsea [1.72]; The Draw [4.0]
This is the acid test for Sunderland as to whether or not they are genuine top-six contenders. They thrashed Chelsea at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season you'll remember, and that arguably sparked The Blues' poor run of form. Sunderland remain in good form, but Chelsea appear to have turned the corner with those two league wins against Blackburn and Bolton respectively (without conceding a goal).
I'm not expecting this game to be a thriller so will definitely side with Under 2.5 Goals at [1.86]. But I fancy Chelsea to win this without conceding, therefore my best bet of this game is the Yes option at around [2.8] in the Chelsea Win to Nil market.
