Premier League Betting: Wolves v Manchester United

Having lifted the Carling Cup, Manchester United now need to get back to business by winning the Premier League. Dan ‘The Betting Man’ Fitch expects them to take a step in the right direction, with a victory over Wolves. Best bet: United clean sheet @ 1.92.

Recommended Bets: Back a Man Utd clean sheet @ 1.92; Back Rooney to score first @ 4.0; Back Man Utd/Man Utd @ 2.0.

With Chelsea in action in the FA Cup on Sunday, Manchester United have the perfect opportunity to leapfrog them and return to the top of the table.

To do so they must travel to Molineux and take all 3 points from a Wolves side that are hovering just outside the relegation zone and fighting for survival.

England World Cup Injury Update: Rio out for club and country

England captain set to miss Carling Cup final and Egypt friendly… “Why do Betfair punters have Rio at such short odds in the England captain market? Surely Gerrard is better value at 4.0 ?” Rio Ferdinand remains 1.32 favourite to lead England out against USA at the World Cup on June 12 despite a recurrence of the back injury which has dogged hm for 18 months. Manchester United have confirmed that the England captain will miss Sunday’s Carling Cup final as well as the national team’s friendly against Egypt next week. Steve Gerrard, who is 6.4 second favourite to captain England in South Africa, will wear the arm band in Rio’s absence. Ferdinand had hoped to start for United against West Ham last night before club medical staff declared him unfit. Although Sir Alex Ferguson said it was only a short term set-back he and Fabio Capello will be increasingly concerned about the fitness of a player who has only played 11 games this season and managed only three consecutive appearances.

Premier League Betting: Everton v Man Utd

Jaymes Monte gives an overview of what many see as a potential banana skin in Manchester United’s pursuit of a fourth straight title, but doesn’t share the same opinion. Best Bet: Back Man Utd @ 1.8 “You can’t talk about a Manchester United game these days without mentioning Rooney and his imperious form of late. And he isn’t the sort to take any sort of sympathetic attitude when returning to his boyhood club and old stamping ground, you just know that that will spur him on even more and push him to produce something even better – if that is indeed possible.” Save for one poor performance and result against Liverpool a couple of weeks ago Everton are the league’s form team

Simon Rowlands: Why I’m taking on the shortest-priced horse of the Cheltenham Festival

Our top blogger explains his World Hurdle approach where one of the Festival favourites is unfancied “Last year’s World Hurdle winner Big Buck’s is the best horse in the race again this time round, but I would suggest it is not by the country mile that his current ante-post odds of 1.75 imply.

Irish Racing: Red Mills Trial Hurdle Preview

The Grade 2 Red Mills Trial Hurdle which takes place at Gowran Park on Saturday has an impressive roll of honour, with the likes of Hardy Eustace, Macs Joy, Catch Me and Solwhit just some of those successful in recent times. This year’s renewal promises to be a strong one and hopefully it will throw up a few Cheltenham clues. “Five of the field are also entered in the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham but with Jumbo Rio (100/1) the only one actually quoted in the betting it is unlikely that the result will create any ripples in the ante-post market” Five of the field are also entered in the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham but with Jumbo Rio (100/1) the only one actually quoted in the betting it is unlikely that the result will create any ripples in the ante-post market.

Timeform Weekend Preview

This weekend represents D-Day for Tony McCoy, as on Saturday he will get the leg up on Denman, or ‘The Tank’ as he’s known, for the first time in the Aon Chase at Newbury. The fourteen-time champion jockey has only ever tasted Gold Cup success once, aboard Mr Mulligan in 1997, and Denman represents his best chance of victory for quite some time, providing all goes to plan against five inferior rivals in the 2:30.
