On the handicap market, Blackburn (+1.0) trades at 8/11 while Arsenal (-1.0) is at an 11/4 price tag. Blackburn (+2.0) is at a slim 1/5 while Arsenal (-2.0) is paying out at 8/1. Can Arsene Wenger’s men put three past Blackburn and keep a clean sheet? At 8/1, you could argue that it’s worth a shot. Blackburn (-1.0) pays out at 17/2 while Blackburn (-2.0) pays out at a whopping 25/1.
The most popular correct score selection is listed at 5/1 for a 1-1 draw and you’ll find that Arsenal 1-0 is the next best-priced selection at 13/2. Arsenal 2-1 pays out at 7/1 while a 2-0 result is at 9/1. Blackburn 2-1 pays out at 10/1 and that’s priced alongside the 1-0 selection as well.
Robin Van Persie is expected to be back for this one and, although he may not start, you can take him to score anytime at 10/11 and 7/2 to score first or last. Andrei Arshavin is listed at 15/8 anytime, alongside Eduardo, and 6/1 to score first or last. Theo Walcott is worth taking a look at with a 13/5 price.
For Blackburn, Jason Roberts is at 13/5 anytime, alongside Nikola Kalinic, and 8/1 first or last. Keep your eyes on El-Hadji Diouf at 4/1 anytime, but the real wildcard here for Blackburn is Morten Gamst Pedersen. He’s been jawing with manager Sam Allardyce over a new contract and the want-away midfielder could be using this fixture as a shop window. Back him to score anytime at 11/2.
There should be plenty of interesting live betting options out there for this fixture and be sure to always bet two moves ahead to ensure the best price.
