I’m hoping that my halloween horror came last week, while my Premier League tips saw two selections right, I was much closer in the Europa League, with three results coming up and then PSV Eindhoven let me down conceding a late winner to AS Monaco to mean that that leg let me down.
Still, that is how Acca betting goes and the flip side of that is that you only need one or two wins over the course of the season and if you can land them, then you are guaranteed a profit. I’ve already banked one this season and I feel another win is not too far away.
This weekend is Week 10 of the Premier League season and we are seeing the first signs of the top three teams starting to edge away from the rest. Chelsea (who beat Norwich 7-0), Liverpool (who crushed Man Utd 5-0 at Old Trafford) and Man City (who beat Brighton 4-1 on the road) now look to be setting a pace that others are struggling to keep up with.
That means there are some hugely interesting games this weekend at the top but also at the bottom of the table. Sixth placed Spurs host a Manchester United side in desperate need of some form of response after their drubbing at home to Liverpool, while Leeds can put themselves clear of the drop zone if they can earn a win at Norwich.
The first game on Saturday is also a very big game as two form teams, Leicester City and Arsenal clash in what should be a very entertaining game at the King Power, with the winner likely to move into contention for at least the European places.
We also have Newcastle taking on Chelsea at home after picking up a good point on the road at Crystal Palace. Can they shock the EPL with a win over the top team?
Here’s my selection for the games this weekend in the EPL.
