Sunderland (7.5) Draw (4) Chelsea (1.57)
Both teams won their opening game last weekend. Sunderland's £10 million striker Darren Bent scored the winner just 5 minutes in to the game. With Bruce as manager and their new signings they could cause trouble this season. Chelsea were very fortunate to beat Hull. They needed an injury time winner to see off Hull City. Its too early to tell whether Ancelotti can turn this ageing team in to a winning team. Its probably not wise to bet on Chelsea away from home at 1.57 at this stage of the season. If I had to pick it a winner it would be Chelsea but from a punting point of view, the money has to be on Sunderland. You can get 1.95 for Sunderland +1 on the Asian Handicap at bet365. If Chelsea win it will probably be by the single goal but I sense a possible upset here.
Wigan (1.75) Draw (3.6) Wolverhampton (5.5)
Wigan got off to a flier beating Villa 2-0 away, whereas Wolves lost their opener 2-0 at home. The Wigan game could have easily ended up 6-1 or something like that. Martinez is getting Wigan to play some attractive football. Wolves did hold their own against, West Ham but in front of goal they failed to take their chances. PaddyPower have gone 1.75 on the home win which will be my pick.
Sheffield Utd (1.85) Draw (3.5) Leicester (4.5)
Sheffield United seem to have picked up where they left off last season. A stunning late run took them to the verge of promotion. Sheffield United played exceptional against Watford apparently (I heard this off a blades fan). For the last couple of years, Sheff Utd have been the bookies friend, not winning the matches on paper they should do. However, I see them winning this match. Odds are 1.85 at
William Hill
Celtic (4.2) Draw (3.4) Arsenal (2)
Arsenal totally outclassed Everton at the weekend. Not many teams go to Goodison and put 6 past the Toffees. If Arsenal can keep all their players fit, then they could be serious title contenders this year. Thats a big if though and they are still only 4th favourite to win the league. Celtic generally do well in their home Champions League fixtures. Even though Arsenal have been poor in relation to the other Big 4 teams, they still have done exceptionally well in Europe these past few years. It shows the gulf in class between leagues. Only danger is that Arsenal don't actually have to win this game and may settle for a score draw. Initially I thought away win but I am leaning towards Celtic or the draw now. So maybe best to skip this fixture betting wise and enjoy them game. Its on Sky Sports 2 tonight.
