Saturday’s Premiership Football

Man City v Wigan – Live on Setanta Sports 1, k/o 5:15pm

This Saturday’s big match sees fourth-place hopefuls Man City take on Wigan at the City of Manchester Stadium. Man City suffered a major setback to their Champions League ambitions last weekend with the 2-0 defeat to rivals Everton. Having won only twice out of the last seven Premiership games, City will be desperate to get three points from Wigan, as missing out on European qualification would be bitterly disappointing. Wigan’s recent record is only slightly better than City’s, having won three games out of seven. However, with the threat of relegation still looming, a result for Wigan will go a long way to securing their Premiership status. Considering City’s league form this season, bookies have priced them as favourites for this match, with Better offering 4/6 on a home win, while Wigan have been priced at 7/2 (VC Bet) to upset the rulebook and get all 3 points.

Sunday’s Premiership Football

Bolton v Liverpool – Live on Sky Sports 1, k/o 1:30pm

Gary Megson has done well to steady the ship at Bolton, having guided them from the foot of the table when he took over, but Bolton will be aware that there is still much to do to guarantee their safety. Bolton have been able to get results against other relegation candidates, but have struggled against the better teams in the league. However, there is never a better time to play Liverpool than now. Although Liverpool have produced good performances to see off both Boro and Inter, anything can happen against a team Benitez puts out. Having seen their grip on the fourth Champions League place slip in recent weeks, Liverpool will be determined to get three points that will keep them on the heels of high-flying Everton. With the gulf in class between these two teams, bookmakers have placed Liverpool as favourites, pricing them at 8/11 (Centrebet) to get the away win, while Better have priced Bolton at 10/3 to reinstall some pride at the Reebok Stadium.
