Sportsbook Site – Premier League Back in Action This Weekend. After a week off, the Premier League is back in action this week with the three top teams favored at the sportsbook site. Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal are heavy favorites at the offshore sportsbook even though two of the three are on the road.
Chelsea Has Been Superb – Chelsea is at the top of the Premier League standings and it is no fluke. They have outscored opponents 14-0 in the first three matches. It should be another slaughter on Saturday as they visit a West Ham team that is pathetic. West Ham has lost their first three matches and has been outscored 9-1. There is not much reason to take West Ham on Saturday.
Arsenal Could Be Vulnerable – Arsenal is the team that could have some trouble this week even though they are at home. They got some bad news this week when it was announced that striker Robin van Persie will miss six weeks. It got worse when Theo Walcott was injured in England’s Euro 2012 qualifier against Switzerland. Walcott probably won’t play on Saturday against Bolton. The Gunners are still favored at Sbg global but Bolton is not without a chance. Bolton came from 2-0 down to get a point against Birmingham and they might be able to steal a point in this match at Arsenal. Last year it was Bolton getting up 2-0 on Arsenal before falling 4-2 so Bolton knows they can play with Arsenal.
United Favored on the Road – Manchester United is favored on the road against Everton at the offshore sportsbook. United could choose to rest top striker Wayne Rooney in this match but Everton is probably still in over their head. Everton has scored only one goal in three matches and they will find it tough to get anything against United on Saturday. It doesn’t help Everton that Louis Saha and Jack Rodwell are hurt. This match could also end up going under the total simply for the fact that Everton can’t score.
Elsewhere – Also on Saturday in Premier League odds at the sportsbook site it is Wolverhampton at Fulham, Blackburn at Manchester City, Blackpool at Newcastle United, Tottenham at West Brom and Sunderland at Wigan. Sunday’s game has Liverpool at Birmingham while on Monday it is Aston Villa at Stoke.
