Last weekend, the EPL once again gave the fans the chance to enjoy thrilling action while placing wagers on Betway. Chelsea was toothless without Tammy Abraham, while Everton proved to be better than the results may suggest. Here are ten talking points that most people remember about last weekend.
1. Zaha And Crystal Palace Are Moving In The Right Direction
After a series of mid-table finishes, this could be the season for Palace to go back to the top half of the table. Four years ago, they finished 10th under manager Alan Pardew, and now they’re part of a pack chasing the fifth-placed Tottenham. Zaha is also starting to take center stage despite a quiet start.
2. Everton Have Strong Players, But They’re Missing The Finish
No matter the future that Marco Silva holds, Everton is full of talent. Wing-back Djibril Sidibé supplied the brilliant cross that Richarlison used to score with a diving header. The Brazilian goal scorer remained to be a massive threat to their opponents right until the point where Leicester city stole the match with a late winner from Kelechi Iheanacho.
3. Chelsea Miss Abraham’s Flexibility
When Tammy Abraham recovers from his hip injury, you can expect to see him back on the pitch as early as Wednesday, playing against Aston Villa. During their home defeat by West Ham, they seemed clueless when attacking, with Olivia Giroud starting for the first game since August. Fortunately, punters who chose live online soccer betting with Betway got the chance to make some money during the game.
4. Hodgson Takes Dyche’s Number
Since taking over Crystal Palace, manager Roy Hodgson has managed to lead the Eagles against Dyche’s Burnley four times. Even better, Hudgson has won all the four matches with an aggregate of 8-1 scoreline. Hudgson managed to tweak his tactics and outmaneuver Dyche, taking away the 5th position from Burnley.
5. Martin Makes His Mark
Following Roberto’s disastrous spell and Lukasz Fabianski’s injury, Martin came in as a training partner for the two. The 33-year-old was delighted to make his debut for West Ham United last weekend, making it a truly genuine and terrific moment for him.
6. Watford Go Again
Watford’s 2-1 loss against Southampton signaled the end for Sanchez Flores. The Spaniard only won one from 12 games during his second spell with the squad after replacing Javi Garcia, who lasted for only 85 days. He looked like a poor choice from the beginning, but the Hornets are now six points away from safety after scoring only nine times. That means the appointment of a new manager is imminent.
7. Mings Stands Strong As Aston Villa Battles Relegation
As Tyrone Ming continues to get a grip on his role at Aston Villa, it’s easy to see why the team will have an easy time battling relegation. Villa has lost 50% of their matches, putting them only three points ahead of the drop zone. However, they might be worn down a few opponents, putting them right inside the relegation zone.
