PREMIER LEAGUE PREVIEW BY GRAHAM
his weekend sees some cracking match-ups in what is fast becoming the most enthralling title race for many years and I have some strong fancies that will hopefully make it a profitable weekend too.
The lunchtime kick-off on Saturday sees Crystal Palace’s first game since Ian Holloway left the club as they take on Arsenal. Caretaker boss Keith Millen will be looking for a big reaction from his players following a dismal home defeat to Fulham last Monday but even the most fervent Palace fan will have trouble believing they can match the Gunners. Taking into account the current form of both teams and the undoubted gulf in class I see this being a very comfortable victory for the visitors. Mesut Ozil has been sensational since joining from Real Madrid and I fancy he will do most of the damage so a buy of his Goal Minutes looks a shrewd play.
Later on Saturday Liverpool entertain West Bromwich Albion in an intriguing contest at Anfield, particularly given the fact that the Baggies are chasing a 4th straight League win over Brendan Rodgers’ men. With the Baggies having had positive results against Arsenal and Manchester Utd I can see this being a more difficult afternoon for the Reds than the markets suggest. Liverpool have only managed 5 goals in 4 games at home so far this season so a mauling appears unlikely and a Sell of Liverpool on the supremacy market should pay dividends.
The main event is undoubtedly Sunday’s clash at Stamford Bridge where Manchester City roll into town. With Vincent Kompany already ruled out and a more than dubious away record to their name I fancy City will be there for the taking and therefore Chelsea look a good play on the supremacy market. City’s main striker Sergio Aguero is in great form at the other end so a small Buy of the goals also looks in order.
