      Football betting tips: Giroud goal in Chelsea vs Leeds, plus Tottenham to beat Arsenal – Premier League predictions

      by

      GET ready for a frantic December as the Premier League enters a festive fixture pile-up this month.
      Once again there’s a packed schedule this weekend and if you fancy a flutter, we’ve got you covered with betting tips from three top-flight matches.

      Chelsea vs Leeds, Saturday 8pm (Sky Sports)

      Frank Lampard’s side are really in the groove now.
      You have to go back to September for the last time the Blues lost a Premier League game – and they have to be down as serious title challengers this season.
      Alright, so they struggled against the low-block of Spurs last week in a fairly forgettable 0-0 London derby.
      But this week, we’re expecting the goals to flow under the lights with Marcelo Bielsa’s men in town.

      Low-block isn’t in the Argentinians vocabulary and the fearless Whites will arrive here to win.
      They caught Everton napping last week with a tenacious display that proved they won’t be softening their approach as the season progresses.

      Of course things are a little different against one of the Premier League top four on the road.
      Leeds showed off their approach in a 4-3 thriller with Liverpool in their opening game of the season and we expect this one to be very similar.

      The men from West Yorkshire have scored in every one of their games on the road this season.
      With both teams to score marked up at 4/7, the bookies are expecting them to continue that run.
      In three of their last four home games in the league, Chelsea have scored three or more.
      While Leeds have conceded four on the road twice this season, but have kept three clean sheets (Everton, Sheffield United and Aston Villa).
      We’re expecting Chelsea to thrive in what should be a wide open game and the Blues to score three or more is a tempting 6/4.
      If Palace can manage it, so can a team featuring Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic.

      Despite their excellent start to life back in the top-flight, Leeds won’t have everything their own way here and we expect a Blues victory.
      But 4/7 outright is a little too small to back, so instead go for Chelsea to win with a goal for Leeds at the other end – that’s a whopping 9/5.
      Tammy Abraham was guilty of missing some half-chances against Spurs and plenty of Blues fans were crying out for Olivier Giroud to come on earlier.
      The Frenchman got his chance against Sevilla in midweek and it’s fair to say he smashed it out the park.

      Giroud has been on fire in Europe for the Blues since joining the club from rivals Arsenal
      He went on to score all four as Chelsea thrashed the Spaniards in their own back-yard, netting a perfect hat-trick along with a late penalty.
      If sense prevails, Lampard should roll with the hot-hand and start the Frenchman on Saturday – but wait for the team-sheet before committing to your goalscorer punt.
      You can get a generous 13/10 on him to score anytime, which is a great bet even if he starts on the bench and comes on as a super sub.
      For the braver among you, 4/1 on Giroud bagging the opener isn’t bad either. Don’t miss out.

      Tottenham vs Arsenal, Sunday 4.30pm (Sky Sports)
      It’s never dull in the North London derby.
      Form usually goes out of the window in this emotional, charged-up fixture in the capital.
      And that’s probably a good thing for Arsenal, because they’re in an absolutely shocking state.
      Roy Keane was buoyant last weekend that they’d have enough to avoid relegation – and although he might have been tongue-in-cheek, the Gunners recent results are that of a bottom half team.
      They’ve lost five of their first ten Premier League games this season, winning just four and have a single top-flight victory since September.

      Spurs meanwhile are starting to look like a vintage Jose Mourinho side.
      Solid with a sprinkle of the spectacular, everyone in a Tottenham shirt knows their job and the results are starting to flow.
      At the time of writing they top the Premier League table and deserve to do so, with just one defeat all season and four wins in their last five.
      As a result, Spurs are odds-on to win this and we wouldn’t put anyone off backing them at a decent 19/20.

      Arsenal have one of the worst shooting records in Europe this season
      Mourinho’s men have an excellent recent record in the derby, winning three of the last five home meetings and losing none.
      But we’re after value and reckon this Arsenal side in shambles can provide us some.
      Four of the last five NLD’s have featured both teams to score, but we’re expecting Mourinho to try shut-out this currently inefficient Gunners frontline.
      Arsenal are averaging a goal every game, but that wins you nothing in this league – especially against statistically the best defence in the division.
      Chelsea and Man City drew a blank against this Spurs rearguard and we’re going to trust them again – back Tottenham to win to nil on Sunday afternoon at a chunky 12/5.
      We reckon Spurs start fast and in their last five home games across all competitions they’ve netted first within the first 20 minutes.
      You can get a whopping 27/20 on them scoring first in the opening half – get on.
      Harry Kane loves this fixture and has ten career derby day goals.
      The England forward is carrying a knock and is a doubt for this one, but Mourinho expects him to play – just make sure you wait for confirmation.
      He’s on a relative dry-spell of four without a goal at the moment, which has inflated his price to 6/5. Don’t miss out.
      SunSport’s best bets

      Brighton vs Southampton, Monday 8pm (Sky Sports)
      There’s nothing better than a derby on a cold, miserable December Monday night.
      Southampton head along the south coast to meet Brighton at the Amex, with the Saints still riding high in the table despite snatching defeat from the jaws of victory against Man Utd.
      Let’s hope that late defeat doesn’t begin a decline for Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men, because they have been superb so far this season.
      Brighton meanwhile are just about keeping their heads above water, scrapping out three draws in their last five matches.
      The Seagulls home form though is a real cause for concern and along with Sheffield United, they’re the only two sides yet to win at home in the league.
      Graham Potter will be fully aware that they need to break that duck – and soon.
      This looks like the perfect opportunity, especially as Brighton will have 2,000 fans back in to generate some support from the terraces.
      But as much as the home side need those three points to keep them clear of the bottom three, we’re surprised to see Southampton aren’t favourites here.
      Since Brighton were promoted back to the Premier League in 2016/17, the Saints are unbeaten on this ground with a draw and three wins (one in the cup).
      And since losing to Palace in their opening road match, they’re unbeaten on the road despite some tough fixtures.
      You can get 17/10 on a Southampton win and we’re all over that for a Monday night winter warmer.

      James Ward-Prowse is our pick to continue his goalscoring formCredit: EPA
      Even without Danny Ings they have a real goal threat throughout the side with Che Adams really stepping up in recent weeks.
      Back the Saints to march home with all three points, while over 2.5 goals appears to be the safer play if you want to avoid the results market.
      Matches involving the Seagulls this season have featured an average of 3 goals, while for Southampton it’s a whopping 3.5 per match.
      Get on that at a very generous price of 10/11.
      James Ward-Prowse is in the form of his life at the moment and has four goals in his last five games, prompting Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to claim he ‘can’t be stopped’.
      He only needs one more to equal his tally of five for the entire of the 2019/20 campaign – and he’s the value pick in the field.
      You can get a massive 7/2 on him scoring anytime, which is huge considering his set-piece threat and recent hot-streak. Get on.

      Football betting tips: Goals galore in Chelsea vs Tottenham, plus Arsenal host Wolves – Premier League predictions

      by

      THERE’S a bumper Super Sunday on offer today – and we’ve betting tips for you from the two remaining Premier League matches.
      Chelsea welcome Tottenham to Stamford Bridge for the next edition of Mourinho vs Lampard.

      Chelsea vs Tottenham, TODAY 4.30pm

      A potential cracker on the cards as Tottenham make the short journey to West London.
      Jose Mourinho is back at his old stomping ground and eyeing up his first Premier League title since 2015 .
      Too soon, Spurs fans? Not to jinx it, but it was a Mourinho masterclass in game management as the North Londoners outfoxed Manchester City last week.
      Chelsea meanwhile have finally hit their stride under Frank Lampard and there are signs their big-money summer signings are gelling.

      The Blues have won their last six in all competitions and are very much in the hunt for the title themselves this season – if they can keep up the consistency.
      They appear to have plugged the leaky defence which saw them slip to 3-3 draws against West Brom and Southampton, with Edouard Mendy looking an astute signing.
      Chelsea can overtake Spurs in the table with three points and there’s plenty at stake at the Bridge – but don’t expect Mourinho to take his foot off the gas.
      There’s a proper steel about his Tottenham side and the Special One appears to have his mojo back, with players knowing their jobs and system inside out.

      Even so, it will take a lot to get over the mental block which has prevented Spurs from performing on this ground over the years.
      Tottenham have won on just one of their last THIRTY-FOUR visits here. Yep, 34.
      A 3-1 win in 2018 was their first since 1990 on this ground and since then, it’s been three defeats on the spin.

      We’re massive fans of the way Spurs are playing at the moment though and reckon there’s plenty of value in them getting a result – even if the history books disagree.
      This is the here and now, with no fans allowed in the ground on Sunday and a team absolutely bursting with confidence on the road after four wins from four.
      Tottenham double chance is a terrific 8/11 and that covers a Spurs win or the draw.
      We’re expecting goals in this one, with Son Heung-min and Harry Kane set to team up with their double-act show once again.

      Kane and Son are close to becoming the most-prolific duo in PL history
      Three of Chelsea’s four home games this season have featured over 3.5 goals and on what could be a frantic Sunday afternoon of action, back that again at 9/5.
      Social media was awash with winning slips when Kane and Son laid on goals for each other against West Ham and Burnley.
      Son is a massive 9/4 anytime and Kane a generous 6/4. Double them up or go singles, but whatever you do don’t miss out on those prices.

      Arsenal vs Wolves, TODAY 7.15pm
      Things just aren’t working at the moment for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal.
      The Spaniard is struggling to get a consistent tune out of a talented squad, with three defeats in the last five leaving the Gunners in the bottom half of the early table.
      Goals have been the issue for the Arsenal this season and they’ve netted just nine times in nine matches, leaving them with a goal difference of -1.
      That’s no way to build for a successful season, no matter what division you’re in.
      Wolves are also struggling to find the net this term after their terrific campaign last time out – but even so have four wins from their opening nine.
      That’s hardly a disaster and Nuno Santo’s men battled back well after going behind to in-form Southampton on Monday Night Football.
      Since returning to the top-flight, the Emirates has been a happy hunting ground for Wolves who have twice gone back to the West Midlands with a point.
      Both meetings here have ended 1-1 and we’re predicting something similar in what could be a proper chess match.

      Arsenal just need to get back to scoring and with goals, the wins will come.
      But there are real concerns about Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s form, with the Gabon striker without a goal from open play since the first game of the season – and signing that lucrative new contract.
      Nicolas Pepe is too busy headbutting people to make a meaningful contribution, while the only creativity Mesut Ozil is producing these days comes via Twitter.
      If Thomas Partey returns from a thigh problem we’re more hopeful of the Gunners’ chances on Sunday – but we won’t be backing them to take three points at a hefty even money.
      Instead, both teams to score looks the play which has been a winner on the last three meetings in North London.
      That’s also 1/1 – a big price in that market – and well worth a dabble over the result.
      If you are wanting to back the Gunners with your hard-earned this Sunday, play it safer than the full time result and instead trust Arteta’s men to win at least one half at 8/13.
      Aubameyang is 7/5 to score anytime and will be popular, but we’d leave him alone until he becomes trustworthy again infront of goal.
      Instead, back Raul Jimenez at a heftier price of 9/5.
      The Mexican has seven goals in 14 games for club and country this season, so rely on him him to do the business again just as he did in the 1-1 draw here last November.

      Football betting tips: Man Utd and Arsenal on Super Sunday, plus Kane and Son to score – Premier League predictions

      by

      GET ready for another bumper weekend of Premier League action as the top-flight heads into a frantic December.
      We’ve betting tips for you from three Super Sunday clashes, starting at St Marys where Manchester United make the long trip to face Southampton.

      Will it be high-fives all round for Ole on the South Coast?Credit: Reuters

      Southampton vs Man Utd, Sunday 2pm

      First up and we have the 2020/21 surprise package.
      Southampton are a team reborn under Ralph Hassenhuttl, with the Saints seven games unbeaten and starting this game four points ahead of Manchester United.
      No Ings, no problem for the South Coast outfit who saw off Newcastle here in their last home game before a solid point on the road at Wolves.
      They welcome a Man Utd team who are back on the right track and searching for a fourth-straight win in all competitions.

      Their 1-0 victory over West Brom last weekend was ugly – very ugly – but three points was all that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needed.
      Historically, this is a pretty wretched fixture for Southampton and they’ve not beaten Man Utd on home soil since 2003.

      That’s 12 home meetings without a win for the Saints, but they have picked up draws over the last two seasons.
      Fans on the South Coast feared the worst when Danny Ings was ruled out for six weeks, but Che Adams has stepped up to the plate and there are plenty of goals in this talented young side.

      They’ve scored two goals exactly in all four of their home matches this season, winning three without conceding.
      As ever, we’re warning all of you about betting on the win market when it comes to this Man Utd team.
      Yes they’ve been excellent on the road this term, but an odds-on price of 19/20 is just too much of a risk – especially at a team unbeaten in seven and bursting with confidence.

      Bruno Fernandes is 6/4 to continue his scoring formCredit: EPA
      Instead, we reckon you give Saints your full backing on Sunday – not with the win at 27/10, but with goals.
      If they were to go down on home soil, it’ll be with a bang and we reckon they can continue their run of scoring at least two goals at St Marys.
      Saints to score over 1.5 goals is a mammoth 2/1, brilliant value when you consider they have pillaged 17 in just nine games.
      Futher to that, United have conceded in each of their Prem away matches so far this season.
      Goals are the order of the day and if you want to play it safer, over 2.5 at 5/6 is an excellent price.
      For the visitors, Bruno Fernandes continues to steal the show.
      He’s gone to another level in the last three weeks, scoring five in his last three for the Red Devils.
      The Portuguese now has 21 in 35 games since joining in January, as well as 15 assists. World class.
      The bookies have taken notice and he’s now shorter than every Man Utd striker to net at anytime – 6/4.
      Even so, with the magician on penalty duty and looking in frightening form, you go with the hot hand.
      SunSport’s best bets

      Chelsea vs Tottenham, Sunday 4pm
      A potential cracker on the cards as Tottenham make the short journey to West London.
      Jose Mourinho is back at his old stomping ground and eyeing up his first Premier League title since 2015 .
      Too soon, Spurs fans? Not to jinx it, but it was a Mourinho masterclass in game management as the North Londoners outfoxed Manchester City last week.
      Chelsea meanwhile have finally hit their stride under Frank Lampard and there are signs their big-money summer signings are gelling.

      The Blues have won their last six in all competitions and are very much in the hunt for the title themselves this season – if they can keep up the consistency.

      Social media was awash with winning slips when Kane and Son laid on goals for each other against West Ham and Burnley.
      Son is a massive 9/4 anytime and Kane a generous 6/4. Double them up or go singles, but whatever you do don’t miss out on those prices.

      Arsenal vs Wolves, Sunday 7.15pm
      Things just aren’t working at the moment for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal.
      The Spaniard is struggling to get a consistent tune out of a talented squad, with three defeats in the last five leaving the Gunners in the bottom half of the early table.
      Goals have been the issue for the Arsenal this season and they’ve netted just nine times in nine matches, leaving them with a goal difference of -1.
      That’s no way to build for a successful season, no matter what division you’re in.
      Wolves are also struggling to find the net this term after their terrific campaign last time out – but even so have four wins from their opening nine.
      That’s hardly a disaster and Nuno Santo’s men battled back well after going behind to in-form Southampton on Monday Night Football.
      Since returning to the top-flight, the Emirates has been a happy hunting ground for Wolves who have twice gone back to the West Midlands with a point.
      Both meetings here have ended 1-1 and we’re predicting something similar in what could be a proper chess match.

      Arsenal just need to get back to scoring and with goals, the wins will come.
      But there are real concerns about Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s form, with the Gabon striker without a goal from open play since the first game of the season – and signing that lucrative new contract.
      Nicolas Pepe is too busy headbutting people to make a meaningful contribution, while the only creativity Mesut Ozil is producing these days comes via Twitter.
      If Thomas Partey returns from a thigh problem we’re more hopeful of the Gunners’ chances on Sunday – but we won’t be backing them to take three points at a hefty even money.
      Instead, both teams to score looks the play which has been a winner on the last three meetings in North London.
      That’s also 1/1 – a big price in that market – and well worth a dabble over the result.
      If you are wanting to back the Gunners with your hard-earned this Sunday, play it safer than the full time result and instead trust Arteta’s men to win at least one half at 8/13.
      Aubameyang is 7/5 to score anytime and will be popular, but we’d leave him alone until he becomes trustworthy again infront of goal.
      Instead, back Raul Jimenez at a heftier price of 9/5.
      The Mexican has seven goals in 14 games for club and country this season, so rely on him him to do the business again just as he did in the 1-1 draw here last November.

      Mike Tyson clash with Roy Jones Jr betting AXED by bookmakers over fears on fight rules and if there will be a winner

      by

      ALL bets are off for the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr comeback ‘fight’.
      The American ring legends, with a combined age of 105, clash on Saturday night in an eight-round exhibition bout in California.

      Bookies have ripped up the books for Roy Jones Jr’s bout with Mike Tyson this weekend

      Most high-street bookies accepted bets on the battle – as well as the undercard that includes bizarre match-ups including a YouTuber, an ex-basketball player and an MMA fighter.
      But amid confusion on how or if a winner will be decided, the books have now been ripped up.
      The WBC is sanctioning the bout, under the rules of California State Athletic Commission, with confusing caveats like a ban on knockouts and no ringside judges scoring the 8x2min rounds.
      Instead of ringside officials, usually provided by the host commission, the WBC have appointed former world champs Christy Martin, Vinny Pazienza and Chad Dawson to score the fight remotely.

      In light of the ambiguity, most of the UK’s bookmakers have now scrapped the show from their websites.
      If an official result is announced, then most bets already placed are expected to be honoured and paid out.
      However, if neither man has his arm raised by the referee, then the markets will be voided and stakes returned.

      A standard 12-round professional boxing bout usually has the draw priced anywhere between 33-1 and 22-1.
      However, the tie for this Staples Center circus was available for as little as 6-1 on Tuesday with one firm.

      Tyson and Jones Jr have had to agree to larger-than-standard 12oz gloves, to limit the damage they could potentially do.
      And both men have been warned away from trying to score a KO and told the clash will be instantly stopped if either veteran suffers a cut.
      Jones and Tyson, the ex-Baddest Man on the Planet who claims to smoke around £30,000 of cannabis a month, have passed a VADA testing schedule with marijuana not included.
