Barclays Premier League Predictions (Saturday)

20th November 2009

I have purposely avoid the recent World Cup qualifying playoffs because it is known to be unpredictable and sometimes controversial. This time round, it was no different. Many punters would have lost a lot of money backing Ukraine, Russia and Egypt. Some may have bet on France to win at home outright.

Anyway, the EPL is back. This Saturday kicks off with a big game, Liverpool vs Man City. Liverpool's form is shaky as of late and Man City had 5 draws in a row. This game will be too hard to call although I would love to see Liverpool win at home. But the risk vs return on this game makes it not worth a punt.

Burnley has strung together some respectable results as they face the inconsistent Aston Villa. Villa is still 5th on the table, but they have dropped points from games that they should have won. However Villa away win 2.20@BET365 makes it a very lucrative bet.

Arsenal recently lost Van Persie to injury, so I would be a bit cautious betting on them. However considering his replacement (Eduardo) who is also a very capable scorer and the fact that most of their goals have come from non-striker players, they are still a force to be reckoned with. Sunderland on the other hand has cooled off from their hot start to the season. Arsenal away win 1.61@BET365 is a good value bet.

SUMMARY:
Liverpool vs Man City : AVOID
Burnley vs Villa : Villa away WIN
Sunderland vs Arsenal : Arsenal away WIN

Good luck
