King's Road re-entry for Jose

21 October 2016 - 10:17 By Mike Makaab

There are so many exciting football encounters worldwide this weekend, but the highlight of the English Premiership weekend is the return of Jose Mourinho to Stamford Bridge, this time as manager of Manchester United. Chelsea have found their feet in recent weeks and their 3-0 home demolition of champions Leicester City last weekend sounded a warning to all their Premier League rivals.They play a United team that had to play in Europe last night at home to Fenerbahce, and that had underperformed in their last five league games (LLWDD).I think that Chelsea, who do not play in Europe this season, must be favoured to win in a tight game between Mourinho and Antonio Conte, who both place a large emphasis on defence.If I were to wager, it would be on the team that scores the opening goal to go on to win the match.Here's this week's all-to-go bet:Arsenal to make it eight wins in a row in all competitions and beat visiting Middlesbrough at 3-10.West Ham United, who finally got back to winning ways by beating hosts Crystal Palace last weekend (1-0), to win again at home against bottom team Sunderland at 7-10.Liverpool at 3-10 to beat West Bromwich Albion at Anfield.Borussia Dortmund to beat bottom of the standings Ingolstadt, who have a single draw with six straight losses, at 6-10.Napoli, who have not been in good form, losing their last three matches in the league and European competitions, at 3-10 to win away to bottom of Serie A Crotone.This permutation should give you odds of about 6-1. If you want to have a chance of doubling this bet then add Schalke at 1-1 to beat Mainz. We were successful last weekend, so let's see if we can double up.All odds quoted are supplied by Betting World and are subject to change. For latest prices see www.bettingworld.co.za..
