Premier League Betting: Hull City v Arsenal

Title chasing Arsenal face a trip to Hull City on Saturday and Dan ‘The Betting Man’ Fitch thinks that even without Cesc Fabregas, they will have too much for Phil Brown’s Tigers. Best Bet: Back over 2.5 goals @ 1.71 . Recommended Bets: Back over 2.5 goals @ 1.71 ; Back both teams to score @ 1.84 ; Back Arsenal to be winning half time/full time @ 2.2 . Arsenal may have been beaten at home and away by both Chelsea and Manchester United, but it will be the final league table that determines who will be the top team in England.

Premier League Betting: Why Arsenal can win the title

They may have been written off several times this season but Arsenal are now two points off the Premier League summit with an easier run-in than their title rivals. Andrew Atherley discusses the Gunners’ chances. “On form, Arsenal have an excellent chance and probably should be shorter than their current 3.8 in the Premier League Winner 2009/10 market.” Arsenal can win the Premier League and here’s why: most of their tough games are behind them and they now have the easiest run-in of the three title contenders

Champions League Results: 3-2 in Florence matched at 95 as Gunners also open fire

Arsenal put five past FC Porto as Fiorentina crash out on away goals in Florence…. “The Italians were matched at 3.5 to win the match and that was ultimately a winning bet, as was the 3.7 Bayern were matched at to qualify. The big winning punters were those who predicted the 3-2 scoreline though, that was matched at the most attractive odds of 95.0.” Arsenal sent a chilling message to the remaining Champions League contenders that they mean business after dumping FC Porto out of the competition by winning the second leg 5-0. A hat-trick from Nicklas Bendtner did most of the damage in a game where they were matched at a high of 1.7 on Betfair to win.

Premier League Betting: The difficulty of keeping something in reserve

With Chelsea’s Hilario currently looking like a stranger to the goalkeeping position, Dan ‘The Betting Man’ Fitch looks at the difficulty of keeping a decent reserve keeper interested. Arsene Wenger doesn’t just have the problem of finding a reliable reserve keeper, as Manuel Almunia is equally rubbish. He’s now back in the Arsenal team that can be backed at 1.71 to beat Porto. Back in the day, a substitute bench was actually a bench with a substitute on it, rather than collection of heated car seats filled by several unmotivated millionaires.

This Week On Betfair Live Video: Livorno v Roma

Roma need to be winning matches such as these if they are to close the gap at the top of Serie A and this trip to Catania is a very winnable fixture for them… Roma will have seen Saturday’s home tie against AC Milan as a great opportunity to draw level on points with them and also close the gap on Inter Milan, albeit for just 24 hours. They failed to achieve the first of their two objectives after the goalless draw on Saturday night but luckily for them, Inter also drew 0-0 at home to Genoa on Sunday night, meaning it’s all still to play for in Serie A. It’s testament to Roma and in particular the managerial skills of Claudio Ranieri that they’re still in contention to win the league despite having been without their two most likely sources of goals in Luca Toni and Francesco Totti for the last few weeks. They’re unlikely to be without this duo once again this weekend but the good news for Roma fans is that they could hardly have hoped for an easier trip than travelling to Livorno. Currently lying in 18th place, they have won just 4 of their 14 home fixtures and if Roma play to the best of their ability and can create enough chances for the talented Mirko Vucinic and former Arsenal forward Julio Baptista , they can take all three points here and this time really pile the pressure on Inter and AC Milan

Champions League Betting: Arsenal v Porto

Tobias Gourlay is happy to stick with Porto ahead of their second leg with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Recommended Bet: Back Porto +0.5 on the Asian Handicap at 2.4 v Arsenal Two weeks ago, a couple of mistakes by Arsenal’s reserve goalkeeper, Lukasz Fabianski , helped Porto to a 2-1 win in Portugal. The result has helped bring the Portuguese champions’ To Qualify price in from 3.0 at the kick-off of that match to 2.26 ahead of the second leg at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday evening. Backing Porto To Qualify at 3.0 was suggested in these parts and you can now lay them off for guaranteed profit if you feel this is as good as it gets for Jesualdo Ferreira’s team. Need you be so cautious though? Historical precedents for this match have been investigated elsewhere on the website and suggest the value still lies with Porto

World Cup Betting: Still no closer to knowing who will be in England’s squad

In a weekend where Wayne Roney sat out his game with a knee injury, Wes Brown broke a bone in his foot, Theo Walcott dazzled for Arsenal and Phil Jagielka ruled the roost at the heart of Everton’s defence, Ralph Ellis tells us why there are very few certainties in Fabio Capello’s squad…. “Over at Arsenal Theo Walcott, branded “brainless” for his performance in the national shirt last week, suddenly dazzled for Arsenal in a 3-1 win over Burnley. The surprise pick of the last World Cup, Walcott has had a horrible season struggling for form and especially fitness. Could he now be ready to come good again?” An England week meant the inevitable raft of newspaper pieces trying to second guess Fabio Capello’s World Cup squad . You’re bound to have read one. They work with the list of certainties, the probables, and the possibles, and those who have lost their chance altogether. Frankly, and I hate to admit it having written a few of them myself at different times, they mean absolutely nothing

FA Cup Betting: Chelsea v Stoke City

Stoke City have so far sent two Premier League giants packing in this season’s FA Cup and Dan ‘The Betting Man’ Fitch thinks they will give Chelsea a tough game in the quarter-finals. Best Bet: Back both teams to score @ 2.06 . Recommended Bets: Back both teams to score @ 2.06; Back Chelsea 2-0 @ 6.8; Lay Chelsea to qualify @ 1.18. When the draw was made for the FA Cup quarter-finals the tie that immediately stood out was the prospect of Chelsea playing at home to Manchester City; AKA Terry v Bridge 2. The only people that weren’t excited at this prospect were the good folk at Stoke City and as Manchester City needed to first circumnavigate a tricky away replay at the Britannia Stadium before reaching the quarter stage, this was a major stumbling block in regards to the plum tie of the round coming to fruition. Not many teams come away from playing Stoke with a win and having now eliminated Arsenal and Manchester City, the Potters face their trickiest challenge yet, as they travel to high-flying Chelsea .

Best Bet: Back Yes to West Ham Clean Sheet @ 2.66 in West Ham v Bolton Also: Back Any Unquoted Correct Score @ 2.9 in Arsenal v Burnley; Back Arsenal HT/Arsenal FT @ 1.54 ; Back Nicklas Bendtner First Goalscorer @ 4.8 in Arsenal v Burnley; Back West Ham @ 1.83 to beat Bolton; Back 1-0 @ 8.0 and 2-0 @ 9.2 Correct Scores in West Ham v Bolton Arsenal 1.16 v Burnley 26.0 ; The Draw 9.4 I’ll never forget one of Richard Walker’s first previews for betting.betfair – it was Arsenal at home to Hull City. Richard must have been delighted to get such an easy game to preview and understandably was all over a home victory. The rest they say is history and just goes to prove that no result is a given in the Premier League – Hull touched 600.0 before going on to cause a massive upset.
