Premier League betting preview: Manchester United and Liverpool renew rivalry
By SOCCER AUTHORITY
The next round of Premier League fixtures is almost upon us. Covers Expert Soccer Authority breaks down what you need to know.
Everton (+320) v Chelsea (+100)
This match produced one the games of the year last season with a 6-3 scoreline. If it’s only half as entertaining as last season, we’ll be in for a treat.
Chelsea have had a poor start to the PL season with only four points picked up from four games with an average of 2.25 Goals conceded per game.
Everton have had mixed fortunes and find themselves in ninth position with five points. They will be in for a tough game this weekend considering their poor home form. The Toffee’s have failed to win their last four home games in the PL with only two goals scored.
Arsenal (-300) v Stoke (+1100)
Arsenal have won their last 11 games against Stoke when played in the Emirates stadium with only five goals conceded. You’d be hard pressed to favor Stoke in this one and that’s reflected in the bookies’ odds here.
Stoke are also winless in their last seven road games in the Premier League.
Manchester United (-105) v Liverpool (+375)
This match-up is one of the fiercest rivalries in soccer and you can bet that every player will be giving their all as they try to secure victory.
Man United have won 11 of the last 13 games against Liverpool when played in Old Trafford with an average of two goals scored per game by the Red Devils.
Liverpool are struggling this season just as they did last season. Liverpool are currently sitting in seventh position but that’s not a fair reflection of their season so far. They’ve only beaten relegation candidates Stoke and Bournemouth so far (both narrow 1-0 victories).
