Weekend Bets

Today we'll be looking at value bets for the weekend from the Premier League.

Wolves v Liverpool

Wolves currently sit in 19th position with a decent home record (5-2-4, 15/15). Liverpool currently sit in 13th position with a poor away record (1-2-8, 8/21). 5 points separates the teams.

Dave Edwards and Sylvain Ebanks-Blake are missing for Wolves this weekend, whilst Jamie Carragher, Milan Jovanovic and Steven Gerrard will be missing for Liverpool. These two teams played three weeks ago and Wolves beat Liverpool at Anfield to secure their only away win of the season and Wolves played on Wednesday and demolished Doncaster 5-0 at home. Wolves also beat Chelsea at home two weeks ago, so they should be feeling pretty good about their chances in this game.

Liverpool have lost all of their last five away games and this shouldn't be any different. This is also a good opportunity to back both teams to score; Wolves have scored in ten home games and conceeded in nine, whilst Liverpool have scored in seven away games and conceeded in nine.

Tip: Wolves or draw @ 1.65, both teams to score @ 1.85


Aston Villa v Manchester City

Aston Villa currently sit in 17th position with a decent home record (4-4-3, 15/13). Manchester City currently sit in 2nd position with a good away record (6-3-2, 19/9). 23 points separates the two teams.

Aston Villa bought Darren Bent this week for £24 million, whilst they look just about ready to ship Stephen Ireland off to Newcastle. New signing Edin Dzeko made his debut last week and looks set to make a return to the starting team after being ineligible to play in the midweek FA Cup match.

Manchester City beat Villa 4-0 at Eastlands less than a month ago. Aston Villa have also only won one of their last five games at home, whilst Manchester City won three and drew two of their last five away games. Aston Villa have drawn two and lost three of their games against top six teams, while Manchester City have won three and lost one against teams in the bottom six.

Tip: Manchester City to win @ 2.15


Blackburn v West Bromwich

Blackburn currently sit in 11th position with a good home record (5-3-3, 15/10) while West Brom sit in 14th position with a poor away record (2-2-7, 13/24). 3 points separates the teams.

Blackburn beat West Brom at West Brom just under a month ago 3-1. Blackburn and West Brom have almost complete squads to choose from. Blackburns home record against the middle eight teams is decent (2-0-1) while West Broms away record against the middle eight teams is poor (1-0-3). Blackburn has won three of their last five home matches while West Brom had lost four of their last five away. West Brom has failed to keep any clean sheets on their travels this season, so expect a Blackburn win here.

Tip: Blackburn to win @ 2.15
