It’s been a fantastic week on all fronts for Arsenal football club. The Gunners are top of the Premiership, with a game in hand on nearest rivals Manchester United, while newly released turnover figures have led the Londoners to claim they are now the richest club in Britain. At the same time their city rivals, Chelsea, are struggling to adapt to life after Mourinho. Both clubs face local Derbies on the weekend, where Pinnacle Sports will be offering up to 60% better Premier League odds.
Gunners Continue Excellent Start to the Season
Arsenal have made their best ever start to a Premier League season, even better than their three title winning campaigns, and 2003/04 when they remained unbeaten for the entire season. Arsene Wenger’s young squad are showing a flair and ambition that have caused their outright odds for the Premier League to shorten dramatically, while they also made a confident start to the Champions League. On Sunday they make the short journey to East London, looking to sustain their position as Premier League leaders at Upton Park.
Arsene Wenger has something of a selection headache for the game against the Hammers, having dropped Robin Van Persie for the 5-0 win over Derby and with William Gallas, Jens Lehmann and Emmanuel Eboue back in training. Wenger will certainly want his to turn out his best eleven as West Ham have become a bogey side for Arsenal, completing an unlikely double last season, and remaining unbeaten in the last four meetings. The Irons gave a midweek run-out to Scott Parker and Freddie Ljungberg for their Carling Cup win, so they should be pushing for a start along with Craig Bellamy. Despite their poor record in this game PinnacleSports.com making Arsenal marginal favourites 1.885 (-0.5) with West Ham 2.05 (+0.5).
Rotating Rafa Rears His Ugly Head Again
Liverpool have failed to build on the 6-0 thrashing of Derby, drawing their next three league games, and pundits have laid the blame at the feet of rotating Rafa. He has kept star-striker Fernando Torres on the bench, but his second half hat-trick in the Carling Cup on Tuesday will surely means the Pool’s record signing starts here. Benitez hasn’t been helped by the mute form of Steven Gerrard, but he should have a full strength squad for the trip to the JJB Stadium on Saturday. They visit a Wigan side unbeaten at home, where they have conceded just once, but missing Emile Heskey, one of their shining stars so far this term. PinnacleSports.com make Liverpool favourites, 1.800 (-0.5 & -1) with Wigan 2.150 (+0.5 & +1).
Chelsea Need Big Performance at Home to Fulham
Given the ongoing turmoil at Stamford Bridge resulting from the exit of Jose Mourinho, Chelsea badly need to close ranks and get a confidence boosting win on Saturday at home to Fulham. The 4-0 Carling Cup win at Hull will certainly have helped, and Avram Grant should have Lampard, Ballack and Drogba available but the Blues have taken just one point from their last three league home games. The Cottagers have also proved tricky customers, drawing 2-2 at the Bridge last season, and have found the net on each of their six Premiership visits, which have averaged a massive 3.83 goals. In that case PinnacleSports.com’s price for OVER 2.5 & 3.0 goals looks appealing at 2.06.
