18Apr 2013

England - Premier League

Mike Norman brings us tonight's In-Play odds from Upton Park, the Etihad Stadium, and Craven Cottage...

Wigan are available to back at 2.54 to be relegated after a spirited display at the Etihad Stadium ended in a late 1-0 defeat.

The Latics fought bravely in what was billed as a FA Cup Final dress rehearsal, and Roberto Martinez' men looked to be on course for a precious point until a superb Carlos Tevez strike eight minutes from time gave Manchester City the victory.

Tevez was matched at 5.8 in the First Goalscorer market while City hit a high of 3.95 to win the game. The 1-0 Correct Score was matched at 10.5.

City's win reduces the gap at the top of the table to 13 points with a game in hand after leaders Manchester United were held to a draw at Upton Park.

West Ham took the lead in the first half thanks to a Ricardo Vaz Te low header but Antonio Valencia brought United level after some good work from Shinji Kagawa. The 1-1 Half Time Score was matched at 12.5 and Vaz Te was backed at 26.0 to open the scoring.

The Hammers took the lead for a second when Mohamed Diame fired home a super low-curling shot into the corner of the net but once again the lead was short-lived; Robin van Persie equalising on 77 minutes after pouncing on a rebound though replays showed he was in an offside position.

The 2-2 Correct Score was matched at 21.0 with the draw hitting a high of 4.3. Man United remain 1.01 favourites to win the Premier League title ahead of Man City at 70.0.

It was a comfortable evening for Chelsea at Craven Cottage as they ran out 0-3 winners thanks to goals from Davad Luiz and two from John Terry.

The Blues never touched higher than 1.96 In-Play to win the game while the 0-3 Correct Score was matched at 21.0, however the biggest price matched on the night was the 36.0 about Luiz in the First Goalscorer market.

Chelsea are up to third in the table and can be backed at 1.24 to record a Top Four Finish, ahead of Arsenal (1.48), Tottenham (2.44), and Everton (14.5).
