Sunderland vs Norwich Betting – Grant Holt Special

Sunderland v Norwich – Wednesday 1st February (8pm)

Tonight’s match at the Stadium of Light between 11^th placed Sunderland and 10^th placed Norwich pits together two in-form teams who have ambitions of a top 10 finish. While Sunderland have had their season transformed since Martin O’Neill’s arrival, Norwich have continued to flourish under Paul Lambert. Ladbrokes have Sunderland as the 10/11 favourites for the win, while Norwich are well worth a bet at 7/2, with a draw priced at 9/4.

O’Neill has restored confidence and belief into his players and they now go into every match believing they can win the three points. Since his arrival he has made the Stadium of Light a fortress, winning three and drawing one of their four league home matches. When Sunderland travelled to Norwich back in September The Canaries recorded a narrow 2-1 win in what was the first ever Premier League meeting between the sides. Tonight’s match is likely to be another closely fought affair and there could well be goals due to the attack minded nature of both teams. Sunderland will be looking to take advantage of their opponents open play as it often leaves them vulnerable at the back, with Lambert’s men failing to keep a clean sheet away from home this season. A 2-2 scoreline at 14/1 could be a worthwhile bet, while Sunderland can be found at 7/1 to win 2-1. Norwich, who are priced at 12/1 to come away with a 2-1 win, haven’t lost away since the start of the December and have scored two goals in their last four games on the road.

Stephane Sessegnon is the 4/1 favourite to open the scoring. The Beninese striker has five goals to his name this season and has scored two in his last three league games for Sunderland, including the opener in their last league match against Swansea. Connor Wickham and Fraizer Campbell are available at 5/1 to score first, while Sebastian Larsson and James McClean can be backed at 8/1. Norwich’s main man Grant Holt has also been handed odds of 8/1 to open the scoring and if he does then Ladbrokes will refund all losing first goalscorer bets.

Everton vs Man City Betting – Edin Dzeko 5/1 To Open Scoring

The top four are all in action on Tuesday night as the Premier League returns to our screens. Many believe the title race is now just between the Manchester clubs although Tottenham will argue that they still have a chance of clawing their way back into contention. League leaders Man City travel to Merseyside to face Everton, while United welcome Stoke to Old Trafford. Spurs will be looking for a comprehensive win at home to basement club Wigan, while Chelsea face the tough task of overcoming Swansea at the Liberty Stadium. It promises to be an interesting night’s football and there is every chance that there could be an upset or two.

Recent domestic cup defeats to Man Utd and Liverpool could in fact be a blessing in disguise for City as it allows Roberto Mancini’s men to fully concentrate on the league as they continue in their quest to win England’s top prize for the first time since 1968. Meanwhile Everton head into the game craving a moral boosting win to spark their lacklustre season into life. The Toffees are currently languishing down in 14^th in the table and are without a win in four league games. However, they will be hoping that their progression through to the fifth round of the FA Cup at the weekend will spur them on.

Earlier in the season City beat Everton 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium courtesy of goals from Mario Balotelli and James Milner. It could well be a repeat scoreline on Tuesday, with City priced at 15/2 with Stan James to come away with a 2-0 win. They are available at 11/2 to win 1-0 and 13/2 to record a 2-1 win. Everton have a decent recent record against City, winning six of the last eight meetings before the start of the 2011/12 season, with City winning at Goodison Park just once since 1992.

While Man City have been scoring for fun Everton have really struggled in front of goal this season and have failed to score more than once in a league game since mid-November. Sergio Aguero has been installed as the 4/1 favourite in the First Goalscorer betting despite failing to score in the league since the start of January. Edin Dzeko could therefore be a more rewarding bet at 5/1, while David Silva has been priced at 15/2. Louis Saha and Tim Cahill can both be backed at 8/1 to open the scoring on Tuesday night.

Liverpool vs Man Utd Odds – Penalty Special With Paddy Power

Liverpool v Man Utd - Saturday 28^th January (12.45pm ITV1)

Fierce rivals Liverpool and Man Utd lock horns at Anfield on Saturday in what promises to be a fiery FA Cup fourth round encounter. Liverpool head into the match as the narrow 8/5 favourites for the win, while United can be backed at 7/4, with a draw available at 11/5. If there is a penalty scored in this match, Paddy Power will refund all losing First/Last Goalscorer, Correct Score and Scorecast singles on the match.

Liverpool will be looking to win their first FA Cup since 2006, while United haven’t won the prestigious trophy since 2004. Kenny Dalglish’s men will be brimming with confidence after securing their place in the Carling Cup Final following their 3-2 aggregate win over Man City, while United, who recently knocked out City in the FA Cup third round, will also head into the match with a swagger following their 2-1 win at Arsenal last weekend. The sides played out a closely fought 1-1 draw at Anfield earlier in the season – which was clouded by the Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra incident – and this match is likely to be just as tight. United beat Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield in the third round last year and have only lost three of the 16 meetings between the sides in the FA Cup.

Wayne Rooney is the 9/2 favourite to grab the game’s first goal on Saturday, while Danny Welbeck, who scored the opener against Arsenal last weekend, and Javier Hernandez have both been priced at 6/1. Liverpool’s problems in front of goal have been much publicised this season and they will no doubt be doing everything they can to get Craig Bellamy on the ball. He is the hub of their attacking play, with his blistering speed a problem for any defence. The Welshman is available at 6/1 to open the scoring. Inspirational captain Steven Gerrard has three goals in his last four appearances against United and could be a good bet at 15/2 to score first.

Liverpool vs Man City – Steven Gerrard Money-Back Special

Liverpool vs Man City – Wednesday 25^th January (7.45pm, Sky Sports 1)

Liverpool and Man City face each other in the second-leg of their Carling Cup semi-final on Wednesday, with Liverpool holding a narrow advantage following their 1-0 win at the Etihad Stadium. Liverpool have been installed as the 8/5 favourites to win the match in 90 minutes, while City have been priced at 17/10, with a draw available at 23/10. Liverpool are also the odds-on 4/11 favourites to progress through to the Final, while City can be backed at 15/8. If Steven Gerrard scores anytime in the 90 minutes, Paddy Power will refund all losing first/last Goalscorer, Correct Score and Scorecast singles on the match.

Liverpool may be going through a mini-slump in the league but they have been excellent in both domestic cups. They are unbeaten in 12 home matches in all competitions this season and also have the cushion of a one goal advantage. However, City will be buoyed by their last gasp victory against Tottenham on Sunday and they have the fire power to get themselves back into the tie. The teams have met three times already this season, with one win each and draw. City haven’t won at Anfield since 2003 and Kenny Dalglish will be looking for the supporters to create an intimidating atmosphere. This match has the potential to go either way but if City score an early goal then expect an open and free-flowing tie.

Sergio Aguero is the 11/2 favourite to open the scoring at Anfield, while fellow strikers Mario Balotelli and Edin Dzeko have both been priced at 13/2. Liverpool have struggled for goals all season but Craig Bellamy is still well worth a punt at 13/2, with Steven Gerrard available at 7/1. Liverpool are priced at 13/2 to record another 1-0 win in 90 minutes, while City are available at 8/1 to 2-1 in 90 minutes.

Southampton vs Leicester City – Best Prices On All Correct Scores

Southampton have the chance to regain top spot when they take on Leicester City at St Mary’s tonight. The Saints are currently second in the Championship following West Ham’s win at the weekend but will be gunning for the three points against an inconsistent Leicester side who are 15^th in the table. The south coast outfit are the 5/6 favourites with Ladbrokes, while Leicester can be backed at 10/3 to earn a surprise win, with a draw priced at 5/2.

Southampton look to have recovered from their mini-slump with back-to-back wins against Coventry and Nottingham Forest. Meanwhile, Leicester have just the one win from their last seven league matches, although a 4-0 FA Cup thrashing of Forest last week would have restored some confidence. The Saints are undefeated in 12 of the last 14 meetings between the sides and have never lost to Leicester at St Mary’s, although it was The Foxes who came out on top earlier in the season, winning an entertaining fixture 3-2 at the King Power Stadium. Ladbrokes are offering best prices on all correct scores, with Saints available at 8/1 to win 2-1 and 16/1 to win 3-1. Leicester have been handed odds of 11/1 to win 1-0, while a 1-1 draw could be worth a punt at 6/1.

With star striker Rickie Lambert still suspended Saints will look to Guly Do Prado for goals. The Brazilian recently opened the scoring against Forest and is the 9/2 favourite to score first tonight. Steve De Ridder and David Connolly, who also scored against Forest, are next in the betting, while new signing Tadanari Lee is priced at 6/1 to be the game’s first goalscorer. The Foxes have scored in each of their last 10 Championship games and strikers Jermaine Beckford and David Nugent are both available at 7/1 to open the scoring at St Mary’s.

Soccer Sunday Specials With Paddy Power

Man City v Tottenham – Sunday 22nd January (1.30pm, Sky Sports 1)
Arsenal v Man Utd – Sunday 22nd January (4pm, Sky Sports 1)

On Sunday four of the top five teams are in action in what promises to be an explosive day of Premier League football. In the 1.30pm kick-off league leaders Man City host fellow title contenders Tottenham, which is followed by a battle between old foes Arsenal and Man Utd at the Emirates Stadium. If there are four or more goals scored, Paddy Power will refund all losing first/last goalscorer, correct score & scorecast singles on that match.

Man City simply have a flawless record at the Etihad Stadium this season, winning all ten of their home league games and scoring 31 goals in the process. However, as recent cup defeats to Liverpool and Man Utd have shown, they are beatable on home soil. Tottenham suffered a slight setback last weekend when they were held at home by an inspired Wolves side but they will no doubt be looking to bounce back and gain revenge for the 5-1 hammering City dealt them at White Hart Lane back in August. City head into the match as the odds-on 10/11 favourites, while Spurs are well worth a bet at 3/1, with a draw priced at 5/2. Sergio Aguero is the 9/2 favourite to open the scoring, with Mario Balotelli and Dzeko have both been handed odds of 11/2. With Emmanuel Adebayor unable to play due to the conditions of his loan, Jermaine Defoe could prove to be a good bet at 8/1 to score first.

Man Utd’s stunning 8-2 win against Arsenal at Old Trafford back in August was a truly astonishing result but instead of crumbling under the relentless pressure The Gunners have managed to bounce back and get their quest for a Champions League spot back on track. Arsene Wenger will be hoping that recent back-to-back league defeats haven’t dented their surge. United’s form has dipped slightly of late too with two league defeats in their last three games but as always they will be going for the win in order to keep on track with City.

United have won six and drawn two of the last nine meetings between the sides in all competitions, including two comprehensive 3-1 victories at the Emirates. Fergie’s men are the narrow 13/8 favourites, while Arsenal are available at 17/10 for the win, with a draw at 9/4. Robin Van Persie is the 4/1 favourite to open the scoring, while Wayne Rooney is priced at 9/2. In the past Thierry Henry has been a consistent thorn in United’s side and he can be backed at 6/1 to score first.

Wolves vs Birmingham Money Back Special With Ladbrokes

FA Cup third round replay: Wolves v Birmingham:- Wednesday 18th January (ITV 1, 8pm)

The West Midlands rivals lock horns once again tonight as they battle it out at Molineux for a place in the FA Cup fourth round. If the team you back wins on penalties in Ladbrokes will refund your losing 90 minutes match bet. Premier League side Wolves go into the game as the evens favourites, while Championship outfit Birmingham can be backed at 11/4, with a draw priced at 12/5.

When these sides met at St Andrew’s the honours were shared after an uninspiring goalless draw. Since that fixture Birmingham have recorded a 6-0 win at Millwall, while Wolves earned a credible draw away to high-flying Tottenham. While Wolves’ main focus for the season is preserving their Premier League status, Birmingham are aiming to get back into the top flight at the first time of asking. This replay definitely comes as a distraction but due to the rivalry both club’s will be gunning for the win, with the winners travelling to Sheffield United in the next round.

With in-form striker Steven Fletcher expected to be rested, Kevin Doyle at 9/2 and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake at 11/2 could prove to be good bets to open the scoring. Birmingham’s Marlon King is priced at 7/1 to score first, while Nenad Milijas and Nikola Žigic have both been handed odds of 8/1. If the score is still level towards the end of the match then it would come as no surprise to see Birmingham sneak a last gasp winner. Chris Houghton’s men have scored a goal in the 89th minute or later in four of their last five matches and you wouldn’t bet against them doing that tonight.

Wolves are without a win in eight games in all competitions and with five draws in their last six matches you can see tonight’s encounter going the same way. A 1-1 draw is a tempting bet at 6/1, while a 2-1 Wolves win is available at 8/1. Birmingham can be backed at 10/1 to come away with a narrow 1-0 win.

FA Cup Betting – Leicester vs Nottingham Forest Penalty Special

Leicester vs Nottingham Forest – Tuesday 17^th January

Championship sides Leicester and Nottingham Forest will lock horns at the King Power Stadium for the chance to progress through to the FA Cup fourth round. The winner of tonight’s third round replay will go on to host League Two side Swindon Town who dumped out Wigan. The previous cup meeting between the East Midlands rivals resulted in a drab goalless draw and the recent poor form of both teams means this match could follow a similar pattern. Ladbrokes have installed Leicester as the odds-on 8/11 favourites, while Forest can be backed at 7/2, with a draw at 90 minutes priced at 5/2. If the team you back wins on penalties, Ladbrokes will refund your losing 90 minutes match bet.

Forest are having a torrid time in the league. Just one win in their last nine matches has seen them drop into the relegation zone. They are also having a shocker in front of goal having failed to score in nine of their last ten games. Similarly, Leicester’s recent record makes for miserable reading with just the won win from their last eight matches, with their defeat at home to Barnsley last weekend their first loss at the King Power Stadium under Nigel Pearson. Both league and cup meetings between the teams this season have ended in a draw making the odds of 5/2 in 90 minutes very tempting. The match is unlikely to be a thriller and could well be won by a single goal, with City priced at 5/1 to come away with a 1-0 within 90 minutes and 7/1 to win 2/1. A 0-0 is available at 9/1, while a 1-0 Forest win is 10/1.

Leicester’s David Nugent is the 9/2 favourite to open the scoring, as he did at the City Ground when these two sides met in the league back in August. Jermaine Beckford can be backed at 5/1 to score first, as can Paul Gallagher. Forest will be hoping the 8/1 priced Marlon Harewood and Marcus Tudgay can get them off to a bright start.

Wigan vs Man City Odds – Adam Johnson Anytime Goal Special

Tonight’s Premier League clash pits together top of the table Manchester City against basement club Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium. City are the overwhelming odds-on 4/11 favourites for the three points, while Wigan have odds of 8/1 to spring a shock win, with a draw available at 10/3. If Andy Johnson, who is in line to make his 100th career league start, scores at anytime during the match then Ladbrokes will refund all losing first goalscorer bets.

Man City’s have stuttered on the road recently, losing two and drawing two of their last four away games. Roberto Mancini’s men have also just suffered back-to-back domestic cup defeats to Man Utd and Liverpool. However, Wigan’s record of just one win from 10 home games is unlikely to worry them, with that sole victory coming all the way back in August. Furthermore, Wigan haven’t won in five league games and were recently dumped out of the FA Cup by League Two side Swindon Town.

City have won their last four matches against Wigan without even conceding a goal. They have hammered home scored 56 league goals so far this season, in contrast to Wigan who have mustered just 18. Sergio Agüero and Mario Balotelli can both be backed at 3/1 to open the scoring, although the latter is an injury doubt. Edin Dzeko has been priced at 7/2 and David Silva at 5/1, while Adam Johnson and Samir Nasri are both available at 7/1. Wigan’s Franco Di Santo, Hugo Rodallega and Conor Sammon may all be worth a bet at 9/1 to score first.

City look good value at 7/1 to come away with a 2-0 win, while a 3-0 scoreline is available at 8/1. Wigan have been delt odds of 16/1 to sneak an unlikely 1-0 qin, while a 1-1 draw can be found at 8/1.

Swansea vs Arsenal Betting: Robin van Persie Last Goal Special

Swansea v Arsenal – Sunday 15^th January (4pm, Sky Sports 1)

Swansea host Arsenal at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday in what is expected to be a tightly contested match. Arsenal have dropped a few valuable points recently, while Swansea have continued to impress, losing just one of their last seven matches in all competitions. Depending on results elsewhere an Arsenal win could catapult them into the top four, while three points for Swansea may see them leap up into the top half of the table. Arsenal have been installed as the odds-on 7/10 favourites with Paddy Power, while Swansea can be backed at a reasonably priced 4/1, with a draw available at 13/5.

Swansea have a very impressive record at the Liberty Stadium since getting promoted, losing just once in nine league games. They have also managed to keep six clean sheets at home, letting in just three goals. Arsenal’s record on the road isn’t great. They have lost five times away from home this season and are certainly not as strong as they are at the Emirates. It promises to be an interesting contest and you feel if Swansea take the lead then they have a real chance of claiming the three points.

The exceptional Robin van Persie is the 3/1 favourite to open the scoring on Sunday and if the striker scores the last goal of the game then Paddy Power will refund all losing first/last goalscorer, correct score & scorecast singles on the match. Arsenal’s returning legend Thierry Henry was the hero against Leeds mid-week in their FA Cup win and is priced at 9/2 to score the game’s first goal. Theo Walcott could be worth a punt at 7/1, while Mikel Arteta is available at 9/1. Swansea’s top scorer this season Danny Graham, who bagged two goals at Barnsley last weekend, is priced at 9/1 to be the First Goalscorer, as is Scott Sinclair.

Back in September Arsenal narrowly beat The Swans 1-0 courtesy of a first-half goal by Andrei Arshavin. The Gunners have been handed odds of 11/2 to repeat that scoreline and 13/2 to come away with a 2-1 win. Swansea are available at 12/1 to win 1-0, with a 1-1 draw priced at 6/1.
