Premier League Preview
With just a few weeks remaining of a fascinating season there are plenty more questions that remain unanswered for spread bettors. Spread punters who have bought Manchester United's Championship Index will be looking for the side to maintain their unbeaten record at Old Trafford this season as they entertain Everton.
Spread buyers of United's win index against the Toffees may be aware that West Brom are the only side to return from the Theatre of Dreams with a point since August. The 2-2 draw was on 16th October and since then United have won every home league game, which will delight those selling Everton's win index. Those looking to buy the visitors' win index will point out that David Moyes' outfit drew at Goodison Park against United earlier in the campaign and ran out 3-1 winners in their previous home game. However, spread buyers keen to buy the match supremacy in favour of United will argue that Everton have not won at Old Trafford since 1992 – a run stretching back 17 matches. There will be further concern for match supremacy sellers that United have won the past four home fixtures against the Toffees.
Any spread punter that bought goals in the reverse fixture at Goodison Park will have made a healthy profit as the contest finished 3-3 while total goal buyers may have spotted that the past three matches between these two clubs have produced 13 goals. There may be spread punters keen to buy total goal minutes too after the market in the last encounter made-up a staggering 375 points but sellers of the total goals spread would counter that in the 2008/09 season the clubs met on three occasions and there were only three goals scored in that period.
Carlo Ancelotti has had a tough few weeks, but Chelsea's spread supporters will be hoping he can put that behind him and extend the side's 12 match unbeaten run against West Ham on Saturday. The Blues have scored seven goals in their past two victories over the Hammers and buyers of the home side's win index will be hoping for more of the same. The Hammers have won just one of their past six away league fixtures, which will offer plenty of encouragement to those buying the match supremacy spread. Spread buyers of the last match goal may have noted that in Chelsea's two most recent games against West Ham the final goal has arrived in the 85th and 90th minutes.
Arsenal face a trip to the Reebok Stadium on Sunday afternoon and spread buyers of the away side's win index will be happy to find that the Gunners have won the past nine matches against Bolton across all competitions. Sellers of the bookings spread will be looking for a repeat of the last time Arsene Wenger's outfit travelled to Bolton where only three yellow cards were issued. However, spread buyers of the bookings market will argue that the game earlier this season at the Emirates accumulated 65 points, as Gary Cahill was dismissed.
