Live on ESPN: Sat 17.30: A 3-0 Man Utd win over Reading at 7/1 (BetVictor) and a Luis Suarez goal stand out in the Premier League this weekend.
Struggling Reading parted company with Brian McDermott this week but it’s unlikely to reap instant rewards at Old Trafford, where the Royals are 1/6 via Paddy Power to lose to leaders Manchester United. Sir Alex Ferguson’s likely title winners are 11/10 when kicking off two goals back in bet365’s handicaps and it’s 7/1 courtesy of BetVictor for them to ease to a 3-0 triumph.
The big showdown at the bottom sees Aston Villa lock horns with QPR at Villa Park and it’s the hosts that are considered favourites by Coral at 5/4. However, Harry Redknapp’s Rangers have carded back-to-back victories and can snare a point in the Midlands, a result Stan James rate at 12/5.
Southampton are getting dragged back into trouble and they look up against it as they face in-form Liverpool, who are 5/6 (William Hill) to manage a fourth straight league win. Luis Suarez can do the damage on the south coast and the unstoppable Reds front man is hard to ignore at 7/2 via bet365 in the first scorer stakes.
In Sunday’s two all-London affairs, hosting pair Chelsea and Tottenham are 2/5 (Ladbrokes) and 4/7 (Stan James) respectively to get the better of West Ham and Fulham while Swansea appear a touch overpriced at 5/2 with Skybet as they entertain Arsenal.
The outcome at the DW Stadium depends on which version of Wigan turns up; the one that surrendered meekly to Liverpool or the team that sucker-punched Everton last time out. Stan James offer 21/10 about it being closer to the former and Newcastle subsequently capitalising.
Finally, Stan James post 21/20 against a Sunderland triumph against Norwich and BetVictor quote odds of 9/4 for Stoke and West Brom to be inseparable at the Britannia Stadium.
