Odds and Betting

IT’S all about goals at the moment in the Premier League – and we’re predicting another bumper weekend ahead.
We’ve got betting tips for you from three big top-flight matches, starting at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea host cross-London rivals Crystal Palace.

Chelsea vs Crystal Palace, Saturday 12.30pm (BT Sport)

It’s not been the start Frank Lampard and Chelsea were hoping for.
A huge summer outlay, but just four points from a possible nine to start the new campaign and already out of the Carabao Cup.
We did warn you that it might be a bumpy ride – but this is a pressure game, with the fanbase expecting a comfortable home three points.
Palace meanwhile have started the new season superbly, as they tend to do. It’s after Christmas where they have to get their act together.

Although they came out second best to Everton last time out, Roy Hodgson will be delighted with a return of six points from a tricky set of opening games.
With no fans allowed in stadiums, it does feel like the fear factor is gone somewhat for teams travelling to the Big Six.
Palace have met the Blues at the Bridge fourteen times in all competitions since 1990, winning just twice.
Both of those victories were on back-to-back visits, 2-1 triumphs in 2015 and 2017.

Since then, it’s three losses on the spin for the Eagles.

5

Chelsea’s 20 loan stars are worth over £75m
Are we backing them to reverse that trend at 13/2? No, even if we’re tempted.
But that doesn’t mean we’re rushing to back Chelsea at a piddly 4/9 either.
Lampard’s side might be the great entertainers of the division, but that doesn’t always win you football matches.
Fun it may be – especially for the neutral – but are you trusting them to win a game at the moment against a team known for pulling off a shock result?
Not at that price. You back goals, just as we’ve done the last three gameweeks to great effect.
Two of Chelsea’s three PL games this season have seen over 2.5 goals, with the 2-0 at home to Liverpool the exception.

With this attack – and this iffy defence – you go for the same again.
Palace won’t come to roll over and we expect them to net, just as they did early at Old Trafford.
The Blues are a massive 8/1 to win after being behind and we reckon that’s one of the prices of the weekend.
Timo Werner bagged his first competitive goal for Chelsea in midweek against Tottenham and it won’t be long until he breaks his Premier League duck.
He’s odd-on to net anytime though, with the value pick instead another Chelsea newboy in Kai Havertz.
The German was rested against Spurs after putting three past Barnsley in the last round – back him at a much tastier 15/8 to get his name on the scoresheet.

Arsenal vs Sheffield United, Sunday 2pm (Sky Sports)
It’s looking a whole lot like second-season syndrome for Chris Wilder’s blunted Blades.
Sheffield United are without a point or a goal this season, prompting many to have them down as early season relegation candidates.
Not for us.
The Blades are in a poor run of form for sure but were hampered by Illan Meslier’s heroics against Leeds and a debatable red card decision against Villa.
Ollie Burke looks to be a goal away from proving a real asset and we don’t think it’ll be long before they begin to climb the table.
Arsenal meanwhile have made a strong start to the new campaign, but were overpowered by champions Liverpool last time out.
Mikel Arteta’s side look to be heading in the right direction though and you can see things starting to come together.
It’s games like this where they have to prove it.
Home soil, struggling visitors – doesn’t it just smell like a classic Gunners implosion?

5

Well off the bat we’re going nowhere near 4/7 on Arsenal winning the game. That’s far too risky.
Sheffield United’s xG – or expected goals – was a shade under 1 in the losses to Wolves and Villa, while closer to 2 in the defeat to Yorkshire rivals Leeds.
Basically, the balance of play and the chances they created meant they should have scored in all three.
They’ve netted in the last three meetings with Arsenal and we can’t see them drawing a blank four games in a row.
Those xG stats show that the goals are coming, so back the Blades to net at a whopping 7/10.
That’s a bigger price than an Arsenal win, with far less of the risk.
We’re also a fan over 2.5 goals combined with both teams to score as the Gunners look to hit back from the Liverpool defeat.
Games involving Arsenal in the Prem this season are averaging 3.3 goals per game, so you roll the dice here at a hefty 10/11.
Alexandre Lacazette has been in superb form early this campaign, despite being linked with a move away from North London.
A lot of you will go with the 6/4 on him scoring at anytime, but we like the look of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to score first at 23/10.
The Gabon international looks sharp after signing his new deal and we think that’s the value pick in the goalscorer market.
SunSport’s best bets

Manchester United vs Tottenham, Sunday 4.30pm (Sky Sports)
Ole might be at the wheel – but he needs to get his stuttering side out of first gear.
It was another lacklustre performance from the Red Devils as they somehow emerged victorious from a South Coast scrap with Brighton, before dispatching their second XI in the Carabao Cup five days later.
United are yet to get going this season but managed to escape with all three points thanks to yet another Bruno Fernandes strike from 12 yards.
Tottenham meanwhile were stung by a similar decision, conceding a stoppage time penalty to deny them a 1-0 win over Newcastle.
In truth, Mourinho’s men should have been out of sight but it was still a bitter pill to swallow.
The Special One always relishes coming up against his former clubs and last season this fixture saw two very evenly-matched teams scrapping it out.
United took four points from those two matches, including a late draw salvaged in North London.

5

The scorer? Fernandes – and yes, it was a penalty.
Both teams have netted in just two of the last seven H2H’s at the Theatre of Dreams.
But the last three fixtures have eye-catchingly seen more than three goals.
Neither team are convincing us at the back and United have looked especially light, with reinforcement surely to follow before the transfer deadline slams shut.
Conceding five in two games is certainly not the United way and Ole will look to plug the gaps – but even with Spurs’ packed fixture schedule, we see the visitors scoring.
Back both teams to net at 7/10, and have a small play on both teams flying out the box and each scoring in the opening half at a whopping 7/2.
That happened in United last game at Brighton, while they conceded early to Palace in that embarrassing opening day defeat.
In this fixture last season, the Red Devils ran out 2-1 winners thanks to a brace from Marcus Rashford.
The England star has two goals in his last four but is a whopping 15/8 to score at anytime.
That is a huge price for a United striker on home soil, bringing you in £28.75 for your tenner.
For those of you feeling brave, he’s an even juicier 5/1 to net first. Don’t miss out on that.

GOALS were back on the menu this weekend as the Premier League continues to throw up shocks.
And we’ve got betting tips for you from Anfield as Liverpool prepare to face Arsenal in a mouthwatering clash under the lights on Monday night.

3

Mikel Arteta is looking for a third straight win over LiverpoolCredit: Reuters
Liverpool vs Arsenal, Monday 8pm

A cracker in store on Merseyside as the reigning champions welcome the Gunners.
There’s already been drama with this one, as the kick-off time was moved 15 minutes earlier to ensure supporters could watch the match in the pub without it going through the new 10pm curfew.
And judging by the way the opening four matches involving these teams have panned out, fans will be in need of a drink.
Liverpool are two for two, but not without a scare against Leeds – although they were hardly troubled as ten-man Chelsea were swatted aside at Stamford Bridge.

Just a word for Thiago Alcantara as well, who came off the bench in that victory and looked the Rolls Royce he is.
At least one of these teams is losing their perfect start with Arsenal coming into the game on the back of wins over Fulham and West Ham.
You can only beat what is put in front of you, but this is the first major test of Mikel Arteta and his side this season.
And we’re not convinced they’ll be up to the job of ending Liverpool’s seemingly endless Anfield run – despite that Community Shield triumph just a few weeks ago.

3

Merseyside is not a happy hunting ground for the Gunners and they last won on this ground way back in 2012.
That’s seven fruitless visits in the Premier League, with Liverpool netting three or more times in SIX of those encounters.
With Jurgen Klopp’s side looking impressive in front of goal again, that’s how you play here.
Liverpool are a tempting 1/2 to win the game and we won’t stop you from backing that, especially as the final leg in a weekend accumulator.
But far more tempting is the 5/4 you can get on over 3.5 goals.
That’s been a winner the last EIGHT times Arsenal have played here, including that bonkers 5-5 draw in the Carabao Cup last season.

3

We don’t expect Arteta to employ the same spoiling tactics that Frank Lampard used last week, which blunted the Reds until Christensen’s red card.
And as such, back Liverpool to net often and early.
The Reds to score in BOTH halves should really be odds-on, so don’t miss out on the 11/10 you can get right now.
Mo Salah looks like a man on a mission at the moment and has started the season just like his new haircut – sharp.
He’s quite rightly priced at 5/6 to net anytime and will be popular, but we prefer Sadio Mane to score following his brace against Chelsea.
The Senegalese will get plenty of chances and 23/20 is the value pick.

Mo Salah looks like a man on a mission at the moment and has started the season just like his new haircut – sharp.
He’s quite rightly priced at 5/6 to net anytime and will be popular, but we prefer Sadio Mane to score following his brace against Chelsea.
The Senegalese will get plenty of chances and 23/20 is the value pick.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side are looking for back-to-back PL winsCredit: PA:Press Association
Sheff Utd vs Leeds, Sunday midday

A Sunday treat from Bramall Lane as these Yorkshire rivals meet in the top division for the first time since 1994.
Last season’s surprise package, the Blades haven’t got their new campaign off to the perfect start.
Back-to-back defeats look bad on paper, but they were a goal threat even with ten men against Aston Villa and we don’t think many of you in South Yorkshire should be too worried just yet.
Leeds meanwhile have started the season like a train, high on confidence and Marcelo Bielsa’s murderball tactics.

It looks like ‘we’re going to score one more than you’ is the mantra for the season – and it’ll be fascinating to see if they go into their shell as Norwich did when racking up a few losses.
Because in this league, that’s inevitable.
The Blades built their fine 2019/20 season on a mean defence, finishing the campaign with a better defensive record than Chelsea, Leicester, Tottenham and Arsenal.

4

They’re yet to score after drawing two blanks against Wolves and Villa, but we’re confident they get off the mark against a Leeds back-line which has conceded seven goals already.

Bielsa’s gung-ho, attacking outlook make the Whites an exciting watch – but wide open at the back.
Back both teams to score at a very generous 4/5, but don’t expect another seven goal thriller.
Wilder’s side are too canny for that and they only conceded more than two or more at home on FOUR occasions.
We think this will be a close run thing and so do the bookies, with some real value available on the ‘win either half’ markets.
You can get 10/11 on Sheffield United to do just that, and we’d recommend that as a play rather than the 90 minute result.
Rodrigo was the big-money signing for Leeds this summer but the former Valencia man is yet to cement his place in first-team.
Patrick Bamford – so often ridiculed for wasting chances in the Championship – has the trust of Bielsa and has repaid him with two goals in two Prem games.
You can get a hefty 12/5 on him making it three in three – don’t miss out.

Liverpool vs Arsenal, Monday 8pm
A cracker under the lights is in store on Merseyside as the reigning champions welcome the Gunners.
There’s already been drama with this one, as the kick-off time was moved 15 minutes earlier to ensure supporters could watch the match in the pub without it going through the new 10pm curfew.
And judging by the way the opening four matches involving these teams have panned out, fans will be in need of a drink.
Liverpool are two for two, but not without a scare against Leeds – although they were hardly troubled as ten-man Chelsea were swatted aside at Stamford Bridge.
Just a word for Thiago Alcantara as well, who came off the bench in that victory and looked the Rolls Royce he is.
At least one of these teams is losing their perfect start with Arsenal coming into the game on the back of wins over Fulham and West Ham.
You can only beat what is put in front of you, but this is the first major test of Mikel Arteta and his side this season.
And we’re not convinced they’ll be up to the job of ending Liverpool’s seemingly endless Anfield run – despite that Community Shield triumph just a few weeks ago.

4

Merseyside is not a happy hunting ground for the Gunners and they last won on this ground way back in 2012.
That’s seven fruitless visits in the Premier League, with Liverpool netting three or more times in SIX of those encounters.
With Jurgen Klopp’s side looking impressive in front of goal again, that’s how you play here.
Liverpool are a tempting 1/2 to win the game and we won’t stop you from backing that, especially as the final leg in a weekend accumulator.
But far more tempting is the 5/4 you can get on over 3.5 goals.
That’s been a winner the last EIGHT times Arsenal have played here, including that bonkers 5-5 draw in the Carabao Cup last season.

We don’t expect Arteta to employ the same spoiling tactics that Frank Lampard used last week, which blunted the Reds until Christensen’s red card.
And as such, back Liverpool to net often and early.

GOALS are on back the menu this weekend as the Premier League returns.
We’ve got betting tips for you from three top-flight games after Man Utd beat Brighton following a controversial stoppage-time penalty from Bruno Fernandes.

Frank Lampard saw his side thrash Barnsley 6-on WednesdayCredit: AP:Associated Press
West Brom vs Chelsea, Saturday 5.30pm

Big Frank’s men were left Blue by the Reds – but here’s a real chance to hit back in style.
Frank Lampard’s Chelsea were stifled tactically against Liverpool and their plan to restrict the champions collapsed when Andreas Christensen saw red just before half-time for a rugby tackle on Sadio Mane.
There was frustration amongst some fans that the attacking talent on show wasn’t being allowed to run free – but we expect a reaction at the Hawthorns after Kai Havertz dismantled Barnsley in midweek. 
West Brom sit bottom early on in the season and have conceded eight in their two matches so far, including five at Everton.

They played some decent stuff in that defeat regardless and Slaven Bilic’s side are a world away from the Baggies’ kick ‘n’ rush tactics of old under Tony Pulis.
But if anything, that suggests they’re in for another long afternoon as they face a Chelsea side out to make a point.
The Blues netted three times against Brighton despite their expensively assembled forward line failing to do the business – so the defenders just chipped in instead.
We see goals in this one – and lots of them.

5

Chelsea were prolific on the road last season, finishing the 2019/20 campaign with 16 of their 19 away games featuring three or more goals.
That was the highest percentage in the division by far and they filled their boots against teams who finished in the lower half, hitting more than three themselves past Palace, Burnley, Southampton and Brighton.
Chelsea are 2/5 to win the game and we think they will – but that’s a measly price.
Instead, back them to score over 2.5 goals on their own at a far juicier 29/20.
That’s a bet which has won on their last two visits to this ground.
We do see West Brom having a real go at the Blues, who could still have Kepa hanging around between the sticks if Edouard Mendy’s move isn’t finalised.
If they do, back a Chelsea win with both teams to score a massive 2/1.
Timo Werner is still searching for his first competitive goals in a Blues shirt and looked to be trying just a little bit too hard against Liverpool.
Should Lampard’s men play to his strength –  get him running onto balls over the top and finding space in the box – then 5/2 on him grabbing the opening goal is a steal.
