Jack Wright’s Weekend 16/5 Treble
Jack Wright's Weekend 16/5 Treble
Sunderland took the EFL’s only 100% record into the international break with a convincing 3-1 win at Portsmouth. They are still to see an opponent score against them this term with Luke O’Nien’s header into his own net providing Pompey’s consolation a first goal conceded in 389-minutes of action. The start to life under Regis Le Bris has been sensational and even the departure of talisman Jack Clarke has failed to knock them off track.
Wayne Rooney’s men were predicted to struggle and with two points from their opening four games CopyBet’s decision to make them 9/10 favourites for relegation looks justified. With bogey team Middlesbrough to follow the Black Cats will be determined to keep the momentum going and take another win into that clash.
News broke this week how Real Madrid wanted to take highly rated Stockport coach Andy Mangan to the Bernabeu. Unfortunately for the 38-year-old attacking specialist issues over a work permit have blocked the move for now. Three wins and a draw from their first four games sees them sitting pretty in second place in the embryonic League One table, three points adrift of leaders Wrexham but with a game in hand. There was a 22-point gap between these two sides in the last campaign and there is nothing to suggest that won’t be at least the case come May.
Despite recording successive wins to begin life in the third tier The Red Devils have hit the buffers and suffered three straight defeats without scoring across all competitions shipping eight goals in the process. The latest of which arguably the most damaging as a Barnsley side that sit one place below Stockport, cruised into a 3-0 first-half lead and never looked back.
Aston Villa have picked up where they left off last season and have won two of their opening three Premier League games. The only blot on their copybook a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal in a game arguably they deserved to at least draw. Unai Emery will be keen to get as many points on the board as possible with UEFA Champions League distractions on the horizon. The Villains will expect a three-point haul against an Everton side that have lost three from three in the league and shipped 10 goals in the process.
Last time out the Toffees became the poster campaign for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory when 2-0 up with 87 minutes on the clock they contrived to lose 3-2 at home to Bournemouth. The latest a team has ever been two goals ahead in a game they've gone on to lose in Premier League history.
