Betting Spy: Everton over-priced to beat Man Utd

Arsenal sum up all that is baffling for punters this Premier League season.

Arsene Wenger’s men get turned over at home by West Ham, implode against Olympiacos then obliterate Man United in a matter of minutes.

I’ve been sitting here ankle deep in ripped-up betting slips trying to make some sense of the form book.

But you have to stick with your principals at times like this and that means picking a team who look under-rated by the bookies.

Step forward Everton who host Man United at Goodison Park where their last home match saw them swat aside Chelsea 3-1.

I can picture the blue half of Merseyside doing their best impression of Munch’s Scream as the curse of Betting Spy descends on their side.

But the Toffees look over-priced at 9/4 at home to a Utd team who were made to look horribly ponderous last time out at Arsenal.

Louis van Gaal will surely bring Morgan Schneiderlin back into a midfield which was over run in North London.

But that still won’t justify making Man Utd favourites against a side who have won their last three home matches against them.

The temptation in this topsy-turvy season is to tip another big shock and Aston Villa are the longest price on the coupon at 10/1 to beat Chelsea.

These are turbulent times in West London but I still can’t see Villa coming away with all three points.

Paper talk is now claiming that Jose Mourinho has “lost the dressing room”.

If a manager as omnipotent as Mourinho is facing an uncertain future due to player power then dugouts across the country might as well be fitted with ejector seats.
