Following the two-week international break, there are some huge Premier League matches taking place this weekend including Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United vs Newcastle United. Jose Mourinho and Rafael Benitez had one of the greatest managerial rivalries of the Premier League era whilst in charge of Chelsea and Liverpool a decade ago and they will renew that rivalry this weekend at their new clubs. Manchester United come into this game as big favourites, but 888sport are giving new customers a huge price boost for the game. The bookmaker is offering odds of 3/1 on a Manchester United win (was 27/100) and 100/1 on a Newcastle United win (was 10/1).

The qualifying bet must be placed at the normal odds and the minimum and maximum bet amount for this offer is £5.

Manchester United come into the game sitting eight points behind local rivals Manchester City at the top of the league, whilst Newcastle United are sitting pretty in mid-table, with 14 points from their first 11 matches following promotion. Whatever happens, I think this will be a tight game on Saturday. These are two managers who know each other extremely well, having met on 16 occasions in the past and they are both managers who hate losing and focus more on defending than attacking. It’s hard to see Newcastle United winning this game though and I think the best they can hope for is a 0-0 draw. I think Manchester United will just have too much quality in the end for Newcastle, but I think it will be a real battle on Saturday.
The new customer odds boost available on this game make it extremely tempting and even though it’s hard to see Newcastle United winning this game, for the sake of a £5 bet at odds of 100/1, it could be worth a look if you’ve not used 888sport before!
