Football tip: Get on Manchester City

If you're looking for a longer term investment, Manchester City is a fantastic bet.

A great win at the weekend might mean they're finally putting early-season criticism behind them to produce the results everybody was expecting.

Yes, it does take time for a team to gel. It might just be starting to happen, and with 8.5 points start, it's a great bet.

I'm not as convinced about Everton or Tottenham.

Victor Chandler have opened up several season handicap match bets featuring some old city rivals in the Premier League. They have matched up Man United with Man City, Liverpool with Everton and Arsenal with Tottenham. VC’s spokesman Neal Wilkins thinks that the underdogs in the bets will be the most popular.

“We suspect that we’ll be laying Man City, Everton and Tottenham. City look quite menacing at the moment whereas United seem to be floundering a bit, Everton are slowly getting their act together and Tottenham look like they are only going to improve as the season goes on.”

Man City are getting a handicap of +8.5 points over United, Everton are getting +19.5 points against their city rivals, and Tottenham receive +11.5 against their arch enemies.

Liverpool (-19.5) 5/6

Tottenham (+11.5) 5/6
Arsenal (-11.5) 5/6

Who will score the most goals in the Premier League?

This is the latest release from Victor Chandler in the UK. Tottenham has to be value?

Victor Chandler have opened a market on who’ll score the most goals in the Premier League this season.

At the moment Chelsea and Arsenal are neck and neck on 36 goals a piece, and the firm feel it’s going to be between these two.

“We are making Chelsea the slight favourites but it’s difficult to call.” said VC Spokesman Neal Wilkins.

“Losing Van Persie is a big blow for Arsenal, but Chelsea will also lose players to the African Nations Cup so they might not be so prolific as they have been. That said it’s difficult to see anyone getting close to these two over the season.”

Man United are next in the betting at 5/1 with Liverpool on 10’s and Tottenham on 14’s. United have scored 30 goals so far, Liverpool are on 31 and Tottenham have netted a total of 33.
