Betting Spy: Man City and Swansea to land double

So, one week into the new Premier League season and what have we learned?

Not to jump to conclusions after 90 minutes football should be the obvious answer but let’s get the Betting Spy knee-jerking along with millions of other fans.

It really does look like a two-horse title race this season with Chelsea and Man City set to pull away from the other challengers.

Man Utd still need major surgery in the middle and at the back while Arsenal are also a couple of big players short of winning major honours.

Liverpool need a superstar to replace Suarez but whether that’s Mario Balotelli I’m not so sure.

One thing that hasn’t changed and that’s Sam Allardyce’s safety first tactics.

Spurs were down to ten men early last Saturday but did the big man on the touchline go for the jugular?

Of course not – he just stood there looking smug while Carlton Cole played the lone striker role until Spurs scored their inevitable late winner.

West Ham have assembled a half-decent squad. They just need a playing style now that gets the best out of them.

This week’s fixtures look tricky from a punting point of view with a series of mismatches and tight affairs.

But we’ve got a few quid in the bank after last week’s 5/1 winner so let’s chance our arm on a Swansea/Man City home double.

The Swans burst Man Utd’s bubble last week and should be too strong for Burnley who were left chasing shadows by Chelsea.

City entertain Liverpool and can keep up their fine record at the Etihad.

The double only pays 2/1 but it should look decent business come the final whistle.
