David Moyes and Jose Mourihno go head to head tonight as Man United take on Chelsea at Old Trafford (8pm KO, Live on Sky Sports1), and it’s the Red Devils who are taken to come out on top at the 7/5 on offer with BetVictor, Paddy Power and Stan James.
United got there season off to a good start with an empahtic 4-1 away win over Swansea where Robin van Persie looked as sharp as ever in netting a brace.
The Dutchman has now scored nine goals in his last eight Premier League appearances and is likely to cause what doesn’t look the strongest of Chelsea defances all sorts of problems in his current mood.
He looks a cracking bet at a standout 11/8 with BetVictor to net anytime, and also makes plenty of appeal at 5/1 with Hills in the first goalscorer market.
One thing that this game does have written all over it is goals – despite the fact that their last two clashes produced just one goal in each game.
Their early encounters last season reulted in 18 goals being scored in just three games, and with all the attacking talent on show this promises to be a fast flowing end-to-end affair with plenty of goalmouth action.
Over 2.5 goals looks a solid bet at 5/6 with BetVictor in my book, and over 3.5 also looks worth a small wager at 11/5 with the same firm.
In the correct score market I am going to suggest small split stakes on United winning 3-1 or 3-2 at 20/1 and 28/1 respectively with Stan James.
