English Premier League betting preview - Manchester United vs Blackburn

Manchester United welcome Blackburn today and will be hoping to get back on track after a disappointing 2-0 loss to Liverpool. Sir Alex Ferguson’s side won midweek in the Carling Cup, thanks to goals from Danny Welbeck and Michael Owen, and they will be hoping to inflict another heavy defeat on the struggling Blackburn side, after they were thrashed 5-0 by Chelsea last week.

United are massive favourites for the match, priced at 2/11 (bet £110 to make £20 profit). Blackburn are priced at 20/1 with Boylesports. The draw is at 6/1.

English striker Wayne Rooney is at 7/2 to open the scoring. Rooney was in tremendous form earlier in the season scoring six league goals, but has not scored since the 20th of September when United beat Manchester City 4-3. Rooney is followed by Michael Owen at 4/1 and Dimitar Berbatov at 9/2.

United are at 4/7 to be winning at half time and full time, and at 4/1 to be drawing at half time and winning at full time. Draw / draw is priced at 10/1, and Blackburn / United is at 33/1.

A 2-0 win for United is priced at 11/2, followed by a 3-0 win at 7/1. A 1-0 win is at 8/1, whilst 2-1 is at 9/1. 4-0 is at 10/1 and 2-1 is at 11/1.

United are second favourites to win the league at 12/5, whilst Blackburn are 1/18 to stay up.
