Catch us if you can! Chelsea begin the year six points clear at the top of the EPL pile, and the chasing pack can ill afford many slip ups.
But every team has 19 football games to make its case. Who has the ability? Who has the nerve? For my first Asian Handicap Betting picks of 2017, I’m taking an early glimpse at some of the most likely lads.
Sunderland vs Liverpool (January 2, 23:00 GMT+8)
Liverpool’s New Year’s Eve win over Manchester City puts Jurgen Klopp’s boys at the head of the hunting pack, and they will be in no mood to let Chelsea ease further away when they visit Sunderland. The Black Cats were ‘dire’ in the words of boss David Moyes when they capitulated at Burnley. He was right.
Under 3 goals is a 🌟🌟 bet at 1.83, but that will only work if Moyes can get his defence organised!
Manchester City vs Burnley (January 2, 23:00 GMT+8)
After that defeat, Pep Guardiola’s stars must make amends when Burnley make the short trip to the big city. The Clarets have won only one of their 23 points away from home, but that was at Manchester United, and Andre Gray is full of confidence after scoring four goals in his last two games.
Burnley could make this hard for City and a bet on the Clarets at 1.92 with a +2.25 start looks fun for a 🌟🌟🌟bet.
West Ham vs Manchester United (January 3, 01:15 GMT+8)
The Red Devils aren’t yet on the radar as genuine title contenders but on current form they look as good as anyone. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been outstanding since his arrival and has put the swagger back into City’s neighbours. After a nice little run, the Hammers drew a blank at Leicester and have struggled in their new home.
For a 🌟🌟 bet, a first-half stalemate is available at 2.26.
Happy New Year everyone…and good luck!
