Premier League Outright Betting

Tottenham have been eased to 22/1 (Boylesports) in the Premier League outright betting after they were held to a goalless draw by Liverpool on Monday evening. The result leaves Spurs seven points adrift of the current leaders Manchester City and with a difficult run of fixtures ahead of them Harry Redknapp’s men can’t afford to fall any further behind if they are going to challenge for the title.

The result almost guarantees that Liverpool’s title challenge is over (750/1 for the title) but with Champions League football now a main target for the Reds, it’s 10/3 that Liverpool to go on and qualify for Europe’s elite competition (four points adrift of fourth place Chelsea). Tottenham, who are now seven points ahead of fourth placed Chelsea, are 1/7 to finish the season in a Champions League qualification sport and 4/11 to top the league in the betting without Manchester City and Manchester United.

In the Premier League outright betting, Manchester City remains at the head of the market at 4/7 with Paddy Power whilst Manchester United, who currently sit two points adrift of their rivals City, are 15/8 with BetVictor.

The Premier League outright betting could have more twists this weekend when Untied have the perfect opportunity to overtake City at the top of the table. United host Liverpool on Saturday and victory for Ferguson’s men would see them go one point clear of City, who travel to Villa Park on Sunday.

The last time Manchester United and Liverpool met in the league it saw Luis Suarez being banned for eight matches after he racially abused Manchester United's Patrice Evra. BetVictor expect the two players to settle their differences this Saturday by offering 1/6 that the two players shake hands (7/2 not to shake hands).

BetVictor spokesperson Charlie McCann: "Kenny Dalglish could again leave Suarez on the bench but, having given his star striker half an hour against Spurs last night, he is likely to want to return him to the starting XI at Old Trafford for such a key fixture and it will be interesting to see if both players shake hands ahead of the game. The FA did take the step of cancelling the team handshake ahead of the recent FA Cup tie between QPR & Chelsea but we think they are unlikely to intervene again and bet 10/1 that the normal pre-match team handshake does not takes place."
