•2units - Chelsea win - Bolton V Fulham under 2.5 goals @ $1.97 (S)
•2units - Tottenham V Man City over 2.5 goals @ $1.91 (SB)
•1.25units - Wigan win @ $1.85 (S)
•1unit - Draw - Sunderland V Birmingham @ $1.85 (S)
Season Preview
The EPL season is back after a short lay off and another appetising season is on the plate. New teams, new siginings will likely equal a new league table. We look to continue on our amazing form from last year where throughout the season we won +124.01 units and our season future bets brought us +27units. It's going to be hard to get near that again, but we like a challenge.
Promoted Teams
Blackpool - Back in the top flight for the first time since 1971. Have struggled to fill the required 25 man squad, so looks likely to be a short trip to the Premier League
Newcastle - It was a bit of a wake up call for the Magpies last year, going down to the Championship, but they took it style. Have the talent to stay up this year and even cause a few upsets.
West Brom - Once again they have jumped back up, which has been the case over the last decade. Probably cause the odd upset by most likely to continue their trend and fall back down.
Big 5 + 1
Arsenal - It has all been about Cesc Fabregas since the World Cup. For the moment he looks to be staying, but is he 100% committed. Haven't made any big inclusions, so they will be strong at home and always attacking, but don't where the improvement to take the next step is coming from.
Chelsea - Stopped Man Utd's run of three league titles and again look the hot tip to take out the league. Lost Michael Ballack, but have gained a few good players including Yossi Benayoun. Have every chance to go back-to-back, especially if Drogba has a similar season.
Liverpool - Went from bad to worse last year and unfortunately it doesn't look like it will get any better. The inclusion of new coach Roy Hodgson is a good move, but trying to keep Torres fit is the key. Others teams are have improved more.
Manchester United - It could be the changing of the guard at Old Trafford. They have many quality young players are making their way into the side. Players like Scholes and Berbatov will find themselves with less game time. Still very hard to see them slip to far, but you never want to discount Fergie and his troops
Manchester City - Another off season of big spending. Toure, Silva, Kolarov, Boateng will help their cause to take over their city rivals. They could be very well be building the foundations for a dynasty here. Don't be suprised to see them give this title a real crack.
Tottenham Hotspur - They are the plus one. Although all the talk is about the traditional Big 4 and Man City, people forget that Spurs finished 4th last year. They are happy with their players and with another year under Harry Redknapp they should again be pushing for a Champions League spot
Tough year ahead
Wigan Athletic - Really struggled towards the end of last season and thankful there were some pretty average sides that were below them. Had the worst goal differnce in the league last year and if it is anything similar they will fall.
Fulham - After two great years where they qualified for Europe and then came runners up in the Europa League Final, they could come crashing back down to earth. They have lost their mastermind in Roy Hodgson and look set to lose Schwarzer as he has his sights set on a move to Arsenal. Most likely finish in the bottom half, but will do enough to avoid relegation.
Final Word
It is really hard to go past Chelsea again. They have made their side even stronger and look to be the hunted. It is ahrd to see Liverpool turn around last years disapointment as the likes of Tottenham and Man City will be pushing hard to push themselves into the top 4.
