In partnership with SetantaBet, 7Cantonas.com brings you “Tonge’s Tips”, a look ahead to the Premier League games with a bit of a twist. This season, Alan, the 7Cantonas team and the good fellows over at GGMU are going head to head in their predictions, and want you, our readers, to join in.
Alan : After the demolition job at Craven Cottage, we head into this tie with confidence starting to run at full throttle. Wigan seem to be a better team at home with sound draws against Chelsea and Liverpool. However, away from home they are vulnerable and we should be looking to really put them to the sword! I’m going to to tip up a comfortable 3-0 victory. United to win 3-0 is 13/2 with SetantaBet.
For the bonus tip, I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed that West Brom can pinch something at home to Man City and I’m going to tip up a 1-1 in this one (13/2 with SetantaBet).
Mart : On Boxing Day, United welcome Wigan Athletic to Old Trafford. Wigan come to Old Trafford off the back of two morale boosting home draws against Liverpool and Chelsea. United who themselves will be boosted by the 5-0 hammering of Fulham on Monday night will be looking to get the three points.
Rooney who has now scored in the last three games will be looking to bag again against a Wigan side who are yet to beat the Champions in the last three seasons. Nani has looked on top form and the reds will be boosted by the news that Phil Jones is not going to be out after his injury against Fulham.
I can’t see anything past a United win so I’m also going for 3-0 United, Rooney twice and Welbeck the other scorer.
In the late game, Stoke host Aston Villa at the Britannia, Stoke who in their last game surprisingly beat the high flying Spurs will be looking to pick up the victory here, Villa who in their last away game beat hapless Bolton will be hoping for a share of the points and I’m backing a 1-1 draw (13/2 with SetantaBet).
Yolkie (standing in for Tom @ GGMU) : Oh boys, you make it so easy for me. Almost every time I’ve had to stand in for Tom this season, I’ve been able to match your prediction for a United result. But it’s Christmas, t’is the season to be negative and all that (what?!) and I’m going to go for a 2-0 win for United, giving respect to the Latics’ recent good run. United to win 2-0 is 5/1 with SetantaBet.
For the bonus bet, even the delay caused by the tube strike won’t prevent the inevitable for Wolves at Arsenal. Robin van Persie to score anytime at 4/6 with SetantaBet.
