There have been a number of important changes within the leading clubs of the Premier League, though it might be some time into the season before we are able to assess their overall impact. The departure of Sir Alex Ferguson came as a surprise to many as did his replacement by Everton’s David Moyes. There have also been important management changes at Chelsea, Stoke City and Manchester City. Certainly when the first Manchester United versus Manchester City derby takes place on September 21 their respective managers David Moyes and Manuel Pellegrini will have had time to settle in.

Perhaps this season we will see one of the lower ranked clubs prosper; currently you can find odds as long as 500/1 that Everton will win the league, and up to 40/1 that Liverpool will. Such odds are very tempting, especially if you enjoy taking a casino style betting risk. Betting small and winning big can be much more exciting than backing a favourite. Certainly you should be looking at top three finishers for these clubs. You can back Everton to finish in the top three at around 28/1 and Tottenham is priced at 5/1 with Liverpool at 5/2. United, City and Chelsea are all priced at 2/9 on, so they are not really worth betting on.

If you are looking for an alternative to normal football betting, you may care to head over to an online casino for a few spins on one of the top football themed slots games called “Game On”. This is a pub type slot game which merges the aspects of a retro fruit machine with football themes and animals as its stars. You will find features such as nudge gamble, nudge repeat and bank hold along with a skill shot ladder feature; the top prize is £10,000 which provides plenty of incentive; a great way to pass the time.
