The Premier League this season has seen a series of familiar stories unfold, with a decent front-funner managing to hold the lead for much of the way and too many others that manage to not quite live up to expectations. Liverpool has been extremely consistent in all competitions this term, and it seems ambitious that any of their rivals are going to suddenly make a damaging charge.
Paul Merson believes Liverpool can wrap up the Premier League title in their next two games, as they face Aston Villa and Manchester City. As it stands, Liverpool holds a seven-point lead over second-place Arsenal with 13 games left to go, having only lost once in the league this season. “They were nervy against Wolves. It was obvious to see, but what does it matter? They got the job done and won the game. Liverpool started well against Wolves, but I thought this was going to be a difficult game. For me, the Premier League title race will be defined in the next two games for Liverpool. They will define whether Liverpool wins the league comfortably or whether it goes right down to the wire. Trips to Villa Park and the Etihad are never easy and if they come away with a point or a couple of points, I think it would be game on. But if they got four points from the next two games, I think that would virtually be it in terms of the title.”
So how best do fans navigate the betting? One popular route is using betpack to find the best guidance and value. When in doubt, take advice from professionals. Arsenal will be aware of Nottingham’s Forest’s form, but surely the real threat comes from Manchester City, who traditionally finish their campaigns strongly. Chelsea looks way off the pace, especially when considering the vast amounts of cash that have been thrown at getting the desired squad together.
In the ‘Where are they now file’ we see such sides as Aston Villa, who have undoubtedly been hurt by their run in Europe, and Tottenham who have been plagued by injuries, but is anyone asking why Ange Postecoglou has such a busy physio room? He certainly believes it’s just bad luck, but then he would say that wouldn’t he?! For Spurs, it’s all very much about salvaging what’s left of the season with a continuing run in the Europa and restoring some pride in the Premier League. The question ism would you bet on it?!
