Almost one month has gone since the World cup ended and all the teams have started their pre season matches. Premier League is only about two weeks from beginning and I am really looking forward to the kick-off. My feeling is that most of the teams have their squad ready, but I am pretty sure that one or two adjustments will be done for the top teams. Manchester United still seam to search for one or two players and there are some question marks in both Liverpool (Torres?) and Arsenal (Fabregas?).
Moreover, where is Zlatan Ibrahimovic going to play next year? Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester City, Milan or any other club?
Even though there is a small risk that some changes might be done later, I feel satisfied with the knowledge that I have today and feel that I can bet on the league winners 2010 / 2011.
In these two texts I will give you my analyze for the eight top teams in Premier League according to both the odds and my own feelings. Because I cannot see how any other team can compete in the league, title race besides the top eight clubs that bwin has listed as the favourites.
Here are the teams and corresponding odds from bwin sportsbetting:
FC Chelsea, odds: 2.50
Manchester United, odds: 3.60
Manchester City, odds: 5.50
FC Arsenal, odds: 7.00
FC Liverpool , odds: 10.00
Tottenham Hotspur, odds: 34.00
Aston Villa, odds: 151.00
FC Everton, odds: 151.00
First of all I will give you the relevant facts regarding the teams that I have listed here, and finally I will give you the most valuable bet on which team I recommend you to bet on as winner of the Premier League for the coming season. I will start with my analyze, starting from behind in this list.
FC Everton to win @ 151.00 in odds
There have not been that many changes in Everton’s squad compared to last year and that’s a strength in Everton this year. They still have their key players and David Moyces is still their manager, a manager that I really like.
Everton ended on the eighth position last year and did that after a really good ending of the season. Because those of you who remember the beginning last year probably remember, that Everton dropped a lot in the beginning of the season. If Everton want to have a chance to fight for the top position, or at least top 4, they have to bee on their toes from the beginning.
If the gap becomes too big for a team like Everton early they don’t have the strength to come back on the top teams. A bet on Everton to win pays 151.00 in odds and even thought that is a high odds I find it hard to see Everton as the League winners the coming season. Too many teams are much stronger in the top.
Aston Villa to win @ 151.00 in odds
There are many rumours in Aston Villa these days. Therefore, I would be a bit worried if I would bee in Martin O´Neill’s position right now. Aston Villa has had a pretty strong squad for the last couple of years and Martin O´Neill has done a great job taking them back to the top of the league.
Nevertheless, the feeling is that they have stalled in development lately and that the gap is increasing to the top rather then decreasing. That, of course, means that their top player wants to leave the club for new challenges in clubs where they can fight for the titles.
Players like Ashley Young, Gabriel Agbonlahor and Luke Young might not play for Aston Villa for the coming season and that would be a bad beat for Martin O´Neill if that happened.
Aston Villa is a team that defiantly can compete for the top 4 places in the league if their best players would stay in the club. But asking for a league win is to much asked. A bet on Aston Villa pays 151.00 in odds, just like Everton, and just like Everton, I do not find it as a value bet.
Tottenham Hotspur to win @ 34.00 in odds
It is somewhere here that is starts to get interesting for the potential winners. Tottenham ended fourth in the League last year and had teams like Manchester City and Liverpool behind them. Tottenham has often been the team that has a strong team on the paper, with a strong squad but a team that cannot perform when it comes to the important games.
I am pretty sure that Tottenham could keep some of their best players for this season thanks to their fourth place, which means that they will qualify for the Champions League. They have lots of interesting players in their squad and if they perform at top throughout the whole season Spurs is a team to count on. Luca Modric can become one of the best players in the Premier League this year and if Defoe keeps scoring and Aron Lennon can get up one more level Tottenham is interesting according to me. They pay 34.00 in odds and that is worth giving a thought.
In the next text, I will follow up with the five favourites according to bwin odds and give you my best bet on the winner.
