Man Utd V Reading
Defending champs kick off the season at home to Reading. Fergie has splashed out big time over the summer buying several quality players and competition for places will be tough. Attack wise they look very good, Rooney, Ronaldo, Nani and co will score plenty of goals between them this season. Defensively they are not the strongest but with Van Der Sar in goal they have one of the best goalies in the business.
Reading will do well to repeat last years success, they sold Steve Sidwell to Chelsea and he is a major loss, it will be interesting to see if Doyle and Lita can score as many as they did last year.
Today Lita is out injured and he’s a big loss. With Liverpool winning yesterday, Arsenal winning today and Chelsea closing in on a victory as I write, Man u know what they have to do. Early days I know but anything but a win today for Man U will be viewed as a disaster, they have to keep up the pace and I expect them to score a few today. The only thing that bothers me today is that Fulham scored against Arsenal, Birmingham have hit 2 so far against Chelsea so I wouldn’t rule out a Reading goal meaning taking Man U on the handicap may be tricky, -1.5 is only 1.8ish so il stay away. Instead il go with over 3.5 goals as I expect we may be in for a few goals but as I said I think Reading may also get one.
PICK
