Leeds the bets bet in Saturday televised games

You have to worry about the future of BT SPORT if the people behind it think that Liverpool and Stoke really was a good choice for the opening game in the Premier League. Of all the fixtures they could have picked few would have chose this one. Anfield it is though as football fans starved of Premier League action will tune in anyway to see the game.

Liverpool are 4/9 (ladbrokes) for victory which as much as I think Brendan Rodgers is getting his side in the right direction this is still a little short on a side who have drawn three of their last four Premier League home games.

Stoke have grabbed a share of points on their last two visits to Anfield and the draw here is priced at 4/1 (bet365/boylesports/BETVICTOR) while Stoke to start the Mark Hughes era with a victory is priced at 35/4 (888sport/unibet).

I would not recommend a bet on the match markets and instead recommend you have a look at one of the many other options that are available on this game. Steven Gerrard scored in the game at the Britannia last season and netted ten times last season. You can imagine the Liverpool captain will be keen to come out the blocks firing so take a little interest in the 5/2 (ladbrokes) available on him to score anytime.

The other live game in the Premier League Saturday is on SKYSPORTS and is part of the new flagship Saturday night show with Swansea playing host to Man United. Bookmakers make the defending champions the 11/10 (BETVICTOR) favourites for the game in Wales against a side they have taken ten points from their last four encounters with.

Swansea though will be boosted by the fact that they have taken points from five of the top six sides in each of their last two seasons including a draw with each of the top three last season. A Swans victory is priced at 16/5 (SKYBET) while the Red Devils to draw their fourth consecutive away game is priced at 13/5 (SKYBET/BETVICTOR/STAN JAMES).

Robin van Persie looked red hot against Wigan in the Community Shield grabbing two and he looks value at 11/10 (boylesports/BETVICTOR) to score anytime in this game. You should also have a go at him in the anytime assist market at 5/2 (boylesports) as he made all three goals United scored against the Swans last season.

Thirty minutes before the live Premier League game we have live Championship action between Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday. Unlike the Premier League game at lunchtime this promises to be a tasty encounter for the bragging rights in Yorkshire. Sheffield Wednesday fans will be quick to forgive Dave Jones a slow start if they can win here and they are 11/4 (SPREADEX) to do so while the draw which has been the result in two of their last three meetings is priced at 5/2 (bet365/BETVICTOR/STAN JAMES). I like the look of Leeds at 6/5 (william hill) as they have taken four points from two games against sides in the play-offs last season. Leeds have lost just two of their last ten against Wednesday and this looks a value bet on three home points.

BEST OF THE BETS

GOLD: Leeds to beat Sheffield Wednesday, 6/5 (william hill)
SILVER: Robin van Persie to score anytime, 11/10 (BOYLESPORTS/BETVICTOR)
BRONZE: Robin van Persie to assist anytime v Swansea,, 5/2 (BOYLESPORTS)
