Arsenal v Swansea Tip
One of the top scorers in the PL already and now playing as an out-and-out striker.
At the Emirates we have another example of bookmakers showing a disregard for the league table even though we are now heading into December. Swansea are a best price 7/1 (Betfed) to win at the Emirates despite sitting just one point behind their illustrious north London hosts at kick-off.
Although I think the odds on the away win are too long, instead I’ll go for a value bet that I really think could come off. Michu is 10/3 (Coral) to find the net at anytime on Saturday and he has far more league goals to his name this season than anyone else on the pitch. The 26-year-old has fired in eight times in 14 top flight appearances and only Suarez and Van Persie can better that return.
Swansea’s Spanish star looks like an even better bet having been moved into a more advanced role recently. Michu led the front line against WBA in midweek and responded with a goal inside the opening 10 minutes. He also scored in the Swans’ last away game at Newcastle and looks like a great price to continue his run.
