Christy's Weekend Acca (August 22nd-23rd 2015)

Manchester United V Newcastle

August 22nd, 2015 K.O. 12.45 p.m (UK)

Manchester United have won their opening two Premier League games of the season and should make it three here. This game will come four days after their Champions League qualifier against Club Brugges which they win 3-1. Memphis Depay netted two and if you had been following my match betting preview - you would have backed him to score anytime. Newcastle on the other hand have only the one point from two matches - drawing to Southampton then losing to Swansea City. McClaren  has a big job on his hands since he took over the job and is still getting to know his squad. Manchester United have decent depth in their squad and may rest some of their players from mid week. This should be another routine victory for the reds and I see them scoring a couple of goals here.

West Brom v Chelsea

23rd August 2015, K.O. 14.30 p.m

West Brom have a great record against Chelsea, in their last four encounters West Brom have managed to win three and draw once. They won their last game 3-0 but that game was a dead rubber as Chelsea had already won the title. Chelsea meanwhile have had a bad start to their season only getting one point from 2 games including a comprehensive 3-0 thrashing by Manchester City last time. They will desperately want to get a win here. West Brom will be up for this match but I just feel that Chelsea will get the upper hand this time.

Betting Tip:

Chelsea to win (8/13 @ Paddy Power)

West Ham v Bournemouth

22nd August 2015 K.O. 15.00 p.m

West Ham started their season well with a shock 0-2 victory over Arsenal at the Emirates but that was followed with a defeat 1-2 defeat to Leicester and another defeat Astra in the third round of the Europa League. The hammers will be hoping to bounce back here against Bournemouth but it won't be easy. Bournemouth have lost both their opening games 1-0 both to Aston Villa and Liverpool but that doesn't tell the whole story. They were very unlucky not to convert a host of chances against Villa and had a perfectly good goal disallowed against Liverpool last Monday. In both those games Bournemouth played attractive attacking  football and deserved to at least come away with a share of the spoils. I was impressed with them and believe that if they play the same way against West Ham they can pull of their first win of the seaon.

Betting Tip:

Bournemouth to win (23/10 @ Paddy Power)

Everton v Manchester City

22nd August 2015 K.O. 17.30 p.m.

Everton came back twice to draw with Watford on the opening day of the season before following that up with an impressive 3-0 victory over Southampton. Manchester City have started most impressively winning both their games decisively including a 3-0 demolition of arch rivals Chelsea Both sides like to play attacking football and this is a game where I see goals at both ends
