If you are attempting to choose who to bet on as the winners of this year’s Premier League, then I really wouldn’t bother looking much further than the two teams from Manchester. Manchester United have started the season as though they have a firecracker up their collective ass while Roberto Mancini has invested Sheikh Monsoor’s cash more than wisely. Wayne Rooney has been in sparkling form, though the recent news that his father has been arrested for betting irregularities was clearly playing on the player’s mind when he lashed out against a Montenegro defender in England’s game on Friday. Sir Alex Ferguson will be hoping that his star player can regain his composure before Manchester United’s visit to Anfield to play Liverpool on Saturday where Wayne Rooney is sure to get plenty of abuse from the Kop due to the fact that he is a lifelong Everton supporter.
Meanwhile, Manchester City have also been in blistering form. David Silva is fast becoming the most creative player in the Premiership due to his ability to drift in from the right wing and employ his left foot to provide his strikers with defence splitting though balls. They also have fantastic strength in depth throughout their team, especially in the Makalele role in defensive central midfield where De Jong and Gareth Barry have now been joined by the fit-again Owen Hargreaves. The fact that they also have the best keeper in the league means that their defence is generally solid. Even if Tevez never plays for the club again – as looks increasingly likely following the debacle in Munich – they have enough quality throughout their team to really challenge.
However, if I were to pick one of the two then I would go for Sir Alex Ferguson’s men because they have so much more experience when it comes to squeaky-bum time at the end of the season and I would consequently bet on them to emerge victorious. If you are planning to bet on them then I would suggest that you get maximum value from your bet by combining it with a bet on another sport, for example, you could study the snooker betting odds and make a snooker bet a the upcoming World Championships. By combining numerous bets in a multiplier you stand to make a packet if you can correctly choose the winner at the Crucible to go with your bet on Manchester United to win the league.
