It will be a hostile atmosphere when United take on arch rivals Liverpool this weekend, and Sir Alex's side are slightly odds-on at 1.91 with Paddy Power to come out on top in what promises to be a real hard fought battle.

The game sees Patrice Evra come face to face with Luis Suarez for the first time since the Liverpool striker was banned for eight games after racially abusing the United defender and the role of referee Phil Dowd will be crucial.

Football, or soccer, is one of the most popular sports in the world, so naturally football betting would be one of the most popular forms of sports betting around. Betting on various aspects of a football game adds an extra dimension of suspense to the game, since you have a very real stake in the outcome, win, lose or draw.

Ok, ok it's not going that well, although we did receive £10 back on our £30 stake last week after the lower league football programme was decimated by the snow. Still, with QPR refusing to do the business at home to Wolves all was lost. This weekend will hopefully see far more football on, and [..

Stamford Bridge hasn't been a pay hunting ground in the league for United in recent years, but they look overpriced at 2.9 with Betfred to beat their arch rivals Chelsea and bag a vital three points to maintain their title challenge.

Having played Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool in quick succession, and with Liverpool coming up again, United are now at a crucial stage of their season having hauled themselves level on points with Roberto Mancini's men at the top of the Premiership.

People talk about the magic of the FA Cup, but don't tell that to me or Hull fans who staked emotion or cold, hard cash on their team winning last Saturday. I knew I shouldn't have trusted Matt ‘Tubbsy' Tubbs after he snuck an equaliser for Salisbury City against Forest a few years back. Still, [..

Being forced to sell his captain during the January and consequently losing matches heavily did for Simon Grayson. While OTP feels slightly sorry for the recently sacked Grayson, we won't be dwelling on his departure for too long because there are some exciting prospects in contention to be the new boss at Elland [.

Okay, you can all relax now. Turns out that our hero, Arsenal captain Robin van Persie, will NOT be sanctioned for allegedly throwing an elbow in the face of defender Carlos Cuéllar, after all. Had the Football Association chosen to sanction him, and there certainly seemed to be justification for doing so, the punishment to both Robin as an individual and Arsenal as a cohesive whole would have been severe enough, considering the awful timing, to virtually end the team's season on quite a sour note.

United have a whole host injuries going into their fourth round FA Cup game at Anfield against arch rivals Liverpool, and bookmakers are keen to take them as a result.

They are 2.88 shots with bet365 and without the injury worries that would look a massive price given that they knocked out Man City in the last round and come into this on the back of a win over Arsenall at the Emirates.

Just like in my life itself, after a promising start that indicated I would push on and improve my standing, after four weeks of the New Year I am back exactly where I started. West Ham failed to beat Forest as comfortably as suspected and PSV should be chastised for their inability to beat inferior [.

So then, this is what heartache feels like. This is what it means to have the figurative broken heart. I have decided I don't like this feeling, at all. And I want it to go away.

Needlessto say, many hard-core Arsenal fans like myself are in agony at this moment in time. The team that we love so desperately appears to be dead.

The big difference being that Norwich are actually good. There's a whole lot more substance and depth to Paul Lambert's [.

United to travel to the Emirates this weekend to take on Arsenal, and they look a big price at 2.62 to beat the Wenger boys. The Gunners were thrashed 8-2 earlier in the season at Old Trafford, and although they have improved since then I can't see why they are virtually the same price as United in the betting to gain their revenge.

£50 staked again last week but only £20 returned as Falkirk's inability to break the deadlock against Ayr cost me £91 in the seven-fold accumulator. However, that still leaves the profit at £36 for the year to date. It's unusual that my first bet is a single, as I generally try and be a little [.

Following their terrific performance to knock City out of the FA Cup it's back to Premier League business this weekend for United who are a top priced 1.16 to beat Bolton at Old Trafford and keep the pressure on Mancini's men. The performance put in by Wayne Rooney and Co to beat City 3-2 at the Eithad would have delighted Sir Alex, as they looked sharp and threatening and a different side to the one that got hammered 3-0 at St James'.

BBC pundit Mark Lawrenson reckons Thierry Henry won't find the net in another competitive game for Arsenal before he jets back to America. The ex-Liverpool defender is refusing to join the Henry love-in and says he would be happy to wager that Henry's days of scoring in the Premier League are over. In his BBC [.

First column of the new year last week, and we managed to purloin £136 from our £50 stake, leaving us with a profit of £86. With a degree of trepidation I decided to state my profit and loss and the bottom of the column each week, something that will come back to haunt me more [...]

United are 3.5 shots to gain their revenge on City in this weekend's derby clash at the Etihad and claim a place in the fourth fourth round of the FA Cup. Sir Alex Ferguson's side will be keen to banish the memory of their meeting in the league earlier in the season at Old Trafford which saw City register a 6-1 victory.

Ahhh, the relief of the FA Cup, where you forget how sh*te your club is in the league for one day, only to remember just how p*ss poor they are come 5pm on Saturday when they no longer have the pleasure of Peter Beardsley drawing their ball out of the bag (the least sexiest image [...]

United are a top priced 1.75 with Paddy Power to bounce back from their humiliating defeat at the hands of Blackburn and beat Newcastle at St James' tonight, and everything suggest they will do just that.

New Year's Eve turned into a 70th birthday nightmare for Sir Alex when Steve Kean's men pulled off the unthinkable, but if the past is anything to go by he will have read the riot act to the players and they will respond with a victory.

United have enjoyed a terrific festive period and they are not surprisingly long odds-on at 1.14 to beat Premiership whipping boys Blackburn Rovers.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side come into this having registered back-to-back 5-0 wins over Fulham and Wigan and it would come as no surprise to see them register a similar wide margin victory in this clash.

There are not many games on New Years Eve Eve, and I would advise to stay away from a home victory at Anfield. Liverpool may have not lost at home this season, but with Andy Carroll the principal striking option available, I would rather eat more turkey. Instead bet on Southampton to beat Bristol City [.

United are back in full stride, and their game against Wigan at Old Trafford on Boxing Day should really be a stroll in the park. Bookmakers are not surprisingly offering a best price of just 1.17 about them after impressive victories over QPR and Fulham in their last two games. Victory at Craven Cottage meant that Sir Alex Ferguson's side have now won all 8 games against bottom-half opposition this season, and only a brave or madman would back against them making it nine in his one.

The Premiership is entering one of the most crowded times of the year when teams are playing every few days, things are getting interesting and statistics can change in the blink of an eye. In the festive period many people like to have a bet on their favourite team so here is a little guide [...]

United travel to London to take on QPR this weekend, and are a top priced 1.5 with Betfred and Paddy Power to win at a ground where they haven't lost for 22 years. They have won eight and lost none of the last 11 meetings with the Hoops in all competitions and come into the game on the back of thrashing Wolves 4-1 to extend their unbeaten run in the league to eight (won 5, Drawn 3).

After winning an impressive £156 last week from our £55 stake, we look to again prize profit out of the hands of the bookies. First bet concerns the Premier League, and backs Blackburn to win consecutive home games for the first time in 46 years, or at least since Steve Kean took charge. They are [.

Manchester United have endured a catastrophic week, crashing out of the Champions League and then losing Vidic for the rest of the season due a knee ligament injury. They need to bounce back, and the visit of Wolves to Old Trafford this weekend gives them a glorious opportunity of doing just that. Bookmakers make than a best priced 1.

The big winners in our Premier League bet of the week this week are Norwich. With Newcastle having Coloccini, Taylor, Guthrie, Marveaux and Tiote out, their centre backs could be Danny Simpson and James Perch. The Canaries at odds of 2.5 at a ground where they have beaten Sunderland, Swansea and QPR seems generous.

Check out the following "Live Odds" on the correct score tomorrow. This will also be updated with first, last and anytime goal scorers as soon as available.
Why not have a bet as the odds shown below are the best from 4 of the biggest bookmakers in the land!.

United may not have had the best of weeks but the bookmakers make them a top priced 1.73 to bounce back and notch an away victory over Aston Villa and the stats suggest they will do just that.

Sir Alex Ferguson's young guns were frustrated in their 1-1 draw with Newcastle last weekend, as Javier Hernandez's opener was cancelled out by Demba Ba following a controversial penalty decision that the gaffer described as "shocking".

After ending November with a shock home loss to Crystal Palace in the Carling Cup quarterfinals, Manchester United will look to open a busy and pivotal December with a win, as they visit Aston Villa this weekend.

United are always a popular Premier League betting pick, and they'll be favored to take the spoils in Saturday's showdown at Villa Park.
