English Premier League Weekend Preview PT 1

It wasn’t long ago that a Burnley vs Manchester United fixture would see Sir Alex Ferguson’s men trading at around 1.20 or lower for the outright victory but this time, up against the relegation favourites, you’ll find Louis Van Gaal’s side priced at a lengthy 1.57.

It’s not surprising considering how poor their recent showings have been - losing to Swansea at the start of the season, then grinding out a disappointing 1-1 draw with Sunderland (who were clearly the better side for much of the match) and then being knocked out of the League Cup by League 1 side MK Dons by a massive 4-0 margin in what will certainly go down as one of the Red Devil’s worst performances of the entire modern era. 

Burnley vs United opens up the day’s action on Saturday and, now that we have Angel Di Maria slotting into the United line-up for the first time, there is likely some new cause for hope and some will certainly be looking to take advantage of that 1.57 price tag. 

Expect that listing to be a popular accumulator selection for many. 

You can also lock in an impressive 6.50 price on Di Maria to get the first goal of the match and, while it’s likely that he will start the match, it’s worth waiting for that bet until you actually see him listed as a starter on the team sheet. Robin Van Persie is priced at 4.33 to score first while Wayne Rooney is just a shade behind at a 4.5 listing with the bookmakers. 

There is a solid selection of matches for the 3 pm kick-off with Manchester City being the biggest favourites of the day as they tangle with Stoke City. The bookmakers have them priced at 1.18 for the outright victory while Stoke are a massive 15.0 to get the reverse over one of the best sides in the Premier League. You can also back the draw at 7.0.
