Who to back?"The Premiership kicks off with the North London derby, as the Gunners travel over to White Hart Lane. These are usually pretty good matches, though as it's a derby I'm not expecting a feast of goals. We've priced up Arsenal to win by a margin of 0.7 to 1 goals - I'd usually have set the spread higher but have a feeling this will be quite close, and wouldn't even be surprised by a draw. Although Spurs don't have much height up front, Defoe is scoring again, and I think Carrick could start. He passes the ball well, and can score and tackle like the best, so he's one to watch. Ref Steve Bennett has a reputation for being strict, so expect a few cards to be shown too. "I'm more excited by Sunday's big game at St James'. There's a history of goals between Newcastle and Man Utd, and the Magpies have been scoring and conceding for fun recently. Although Man Utd have found it hard to score, van Nistelrooy is back from suspension and will be looking to exploit Newcastle's underperforming defence. All the home side's talent is up front, so all that attacking flair from both teams will ensure a high-scoring game, with Man Utd likely to nick the three points. "Finally, Portsmouth visit Southampton in what will be a very tight south coast derby. We've priced up the home team to edge this one by 0 to 0.3 goals. Although Saints will probably have Beattie and Phillips back together, I don't foresee many goals in a derby like this. There were only a couple of bookings when these two met last year, and with Graeme Poll in charge we shouldn't see too many this time around - unless the players get infected by the feisty atmosphere from the terraces..."Free £200 per Goal BetThat should have given you something to think about.
