BETTING PREVIEW
It's become clear after the Fenerbahce match that people just love to slag off, bitch and moan about Arsenal. When good stuff happens, it actually annoys them because it means their bitching doesn't seem all that justified. F*ck 'em.
Yes, there are a boatload of injuries but this Arsenal side bounced back in style in midweek, thumping Fenerbahce 3-0 in their own yard. A clean sheet there is not to be sniffed at, because this Arsenal defence is missing a whole bunch of first choices through injuries and suspensions. Still, they did the job, with the keeper especially good following his poor outing against Villa. Expect him to play his heart out again in West London.
Fulham managed a shock win at Sunderland, edging it 1-0, but they return home to play a side that have beaten them 16 times, just 1 less than Manchester United, who have beaten them the most. Last year, Arsenal won 19 points from London derbies, more than anyone else. And still we see the oddsmaker giving us high prices on Arsenal to get a win here.
I know I have a biased opinion with Arsenal, being a fan and all, but if you're looking for value, then look no further. The best time to take Arsenal is when they're taking sh*t in the media for "crises", because that's when they get overpriced as everyone expects disaster and then what? They win. It happened last season in Munich, and in the last 10 games of the season, and it happened in midweek, when I got high prices on the away win along with my correct goalscorer bet.
And speaking of goalscorer, Giroud is on a serious tear, netting in both games this season, giving us winners. It carries on from a preseason full of goals for the Frenchie playing his 2nd season, where he is proving much improved. He's bursting with confidence, and it really helps that he is getting fantastic support from the likes of Cazorla, Ramsey, Wilshere and especially Walcott. Have you seen the prices on him to score at any time? Silly.
THE BETTING VERDICT
No need to get off the gravy train. Giroud to score, again.
