The Premiership is just around the corner and it will soon be time to bet on the Premiership. Manchester City look to have the kind of side to break into the top four this year with Arsenal losing players left right and centre. Kolo Toure has now joined the Blues for £15m, while Carlos tevez will be looking to forge a striking partnership with his South American partner Robinho.

problems look set to get worse after the visit of Chelsea on Saturday. In all competitions this season, Chelsea have played ten, won eight, drawn two, and their case for beating Keagan's side is undeniable. The question is whether they can defy their growing reputation as 1-0 wonders - 6/1 for a repeat here at bet365. In Saturday's other live game, Manchester United are fancied to get their Premiership challenge back on track with a win away at Birmingham.

The Blues haven't beaten the Red Devils at St Andrews for over a quarter of a century, and with only one win from eight Premiership fixtures this season, cannot be considered in the same league as the team that finished tenth last season. If United are to have any hope of closing the gap on the top two they must take the three points here, and will be looking to Wayne Rooney to turn it on - 9/2 to score the first goal on Saturday.

On Sunday, it is the turn of two out-of-sorts outfits to try and turn it on for the cameras, but they may have to settle for a share of the spoils. Charlton have not lost at The Valley in eight Premiership games, a run that has seen them collect four wins and four draws. Newcastle are undefeated way from home under their new manager Graeme Souness, and carry enough of a scoring threat to suggest they can collect the point - an 11/5 shot with us.
