The game of the weekend has to to be Chelsea vs Manchester United. Chelsea have lost at home in about 3 years now so I see this as a 1X match.
On paper, Manchester United have the players to beat Chelsea but the way they have been playing, its unlikely this weekend. Ronaldo is back but when does he ever turn up for the big games?
Chelsea are in good form and home advantage they should win this one. Scolari berated the team performance after the 4-0 win over Bordeaux. 2.2 is an excellent price for Chelsea at home. I say this everytime Chelsea are odds against at home, there's value in the home win.
Recommended bet: Chelsea 2.2 at bluesquare
The other bet worth considering (apart from the nailed on home banker of Liverpool) is West Ham over Newcastle. Both clubs recently losing managers but the difference is that West Ham have a new one and Newcastle are in turmoil.

Following a disappointing 1-1 draw in Kiev in midweek, Arsenal will be looking to get back on the goal trail against Bolton. The Gunners will be looking to add to their goals tally as they have hit twelve in their last four games. Four of those came against Blackburn last week as Emmanuel Adebayor scored a hat trick, with England star Theo Walcott instrumental in the first goal as he slid in Robin van Persie.
Bolton have not won since their opening day win over Premiership new boys Stoke, losing three of their last four, including a 2-1 defeat to Northampton in the League Cup. They fell to a 2-1 defeat to an improving Fulham side last week with the match effectively over at half time with the Cottagers 2-0 up. Kevin Davies gave the Trotters hope in the 82nd minute as they pulled one back, but it proved to be only a consolation as Fulham held on in the last ten minutes. Wanderers will need to be sharper up front than they were in their last game at the Reebok, when they were held to a 0-0 draw against West Brom, despite Kevin Davies having two offside goals chalked off in the last five minutes.
Its going to be another Arsenal win again their bogie team. Price is 1.62 at VCBet
West Brom v Aston Villa,
Martin O'Neill will take a confident Villa side the short trip across the West Midlands to the Hawthorns when they meet local rivals West Bromwich Albion on the first of Sunday's games. Following defeat in their first two games at Arsenal and Everton, Tony Mowbray's side recorded their first win back in the top flight last week. A thrilling 3-2 win over West Ham was sealed by Chris Brunt in the 83rd minute after West Ham came from behind twice.
Villa continued their good start to the season on Monday with a 2-1 win at White Hart Lane against a beleaguered Tottenham side. They took the lead after just five minutes thanks to Nigel Reo-Cocker, and were never seriously threatened after they doubled that advantage through Ashley Young nine minutes after the break. Darren Bent scored a consolation for Spurs three minutes from the end, but Villa looked convincing in their second Premiership win of the season. However, they will be tested at The Hawthorns in front of a boisterous crowd this Sunday.
The price for a Villa win is 2.25 at VCBet
Premiership Asian Handicap Preview
Premiership betting markets have moved a great deal in a short time. With the new Premier League season just four weeks old, early leaders Chelsea have hardened to firm 2.150* favourites in the outright Premiership betting at PinnacleSports.com, while defending champions, Man Utd - currently 14th - have drifted to 3.500*. After impressive weekend wins both Liverpool and Arsenal have shortened to 7.000* and 6.500* respectively, in early Premiership betting moves but with 34 games to go, it is surely too soon to draw any conclusions.
Premiership Table Has Unfamiliar Look Ahead of Matchday 5
Though Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal occupy the top three spots in the Premier League after four games, the table still has an unusual look to it. Despite a heavy summer of transfers, Spurs are rock bottom with just one point, while Manchester United are in 14th - having lost at Anfield on Saturday - though have played one game less than everyone else. The Red Devils have another big fixture this weekend when they travel to Stamford Bridge to meet the current favourites in the outright Premiership betting at PinnacleSports.com.
Chelsea & Man Utd Clash at the Bridge
The Blues are on a roll, having easily dealt with the challenge from the other side of Manchester last weekend, beating City 3-1. The dismissal of John Terry could have been crucial, leaving the England defender suspended for the visit of United, but he has been cleared on appeal. Alex Ferguson is however, without Nemanja Vidic's after his red card against Liverpool. Fergie could name Cristiano Ronaldo as a substitute after reaching fitness ahead of schedule, but Michael Carrick is out for 6 weeks, and Dimitar Berbatov has a knee problem. Man Utd will want to avoid a successive defeat against serious title rivals but PinnacleSports.com sees them as under-dogs on current form, and Chelsea are of course unbeaten in 84 home games: Chelsea 1.917 (0 & -0.5)*, Manchester United 2.010 (0 & +0.5)* - a market priced to less than 105%.
Go to PinnacleSports.com for a host of Premiership betting specials including two way corners, and yellow card betting markets for all the weekend fixtures, priced to less than 102%, while on Friday's from 2pm CET, Premiership Asian Handicaps are priced as low as 101%.
To add even further excitement to betting on the Premiership, PinnacleSports.com's low margin pricing has also been applied to the new live soccer betting markets for the Premier League, with 1.95/1.95 style live Asian Handicap pricing and in-running Total goals betting.
