Premiership season 2005/2006 update
The season is now well underway with most teams having played 9 games, but is the race for the title already over? Some bookies seem to think so with one high profile bookmaker paying out on Chelsea title bets already, however this was a bit of a publicity stunt and they are well known for pulling this kind of thing. The fact remains though that Chelsea are 9 points clear of Spurs at the top of the table having a 100% winning record and are looking unstoppable at the moment. VC Bet currently have chelsea at 1/12 to win the premiership outright.
Arsenal and Man Utd are the traditional challengers for the title in recent seasons. Man Utd seem to have got their season back on track to some degree after an average start for their standards and are pushing Spurs for that 2nd spot. They had key players injured at the start of the season but most are now back and points are being picked up. Arsenal too have had their continuing injury problems and seem to have been affected badly by it. The loss of Viera in the summer and Henry's injury have made them look a very ordinary team, especially compared to the one that went on that long unbeaten run!
Spurs, Man City and Charlton are the surprising early pushers for the Champions league spots. Charlton seem to have faltered slightly after their promising start. Of the 3 Spurs look most likely to maintain their current run with a good young squad who are hungry for success and are winning without really playing anywhere near their full potential. They could be a good bet in the markets that don't include Chelsea.
At the bottom Everton are well and truly rooted to it, and looking unlikely to rise anytime soon. Many had them to repeat their good run of last year but much of that was based on purely defending rather than actually scoring goals. Without Graveson their form was poor in the second half of last season and it is continuing. Where their next win, or even goal, will come from is a mystery! Sunderland, Fulham, and Portsmouth are down there as expected. One absence is Wigan who were widely tipped to be down by Christmas but are currently getting a nosebleed up in 6th place.
The premiership is still interesting if you look away from Chelsea. There's still lots to play for and lots to bet on. Many games aren't giving the expected win and good prices can be found if you go against expected results. Check out the Free Bet Guide to find bookmakers and their latest offers.
