Nick shares his EPL bets for Manchester United and Manchester City this weekend.
Transcript
00:00Manchester City lost Rodri for this. Rodri just won the Ballon d'Or, by the way, for best soccer player in the world last season.
00:05He's a defensive midfielder. That would be like Rudy Gobert won NBA MVP. That's how good Rodri is.
00:10He's out for the season with a torn ACL. Kevin De Bruyne remains out. He's gonna be out probably until January for Manchester City.
00:17These are the games that Manchester City have played without Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne.
00:222-2 against Arsenal.
00:241-1 against Newcastle.
00:273-2 against Fulham.
00:292-1 against Wolves.
00:311-0 against Southampton.
00:33So they haven't lost a game. They've won three and they've drawn twice.
00:37What they haven't done is won any game by margin.
00:41So this week, they visit Bournemouth.
00:43And we will bet Bournemouth plus one, that's the number, plus one minus 115.
00:48Bournemouth plus one minus 115 to fade Manchester City without Kevin De Bruyne and without Rodri.
00:54And in the second bet, Manchester United finally did it, everybody.
00:59They sacked clueless, incompetent, over his head Dutch manager Erik Ten Hag.
01:05Ten Hag out.
01:06And taking over as a Manchester United manager is club legend and another Dutchman, Dutch on Dutch crime, I love it.
01:12Ruud van Nistelrooy.
01:14People who don't know who Ruud van Nistelrooy is.
01:16Amazing Dutch striker and played at Man U and famously got into it with Sir Alex Ferguson.
01:22Told Sir Alex to F off.
01:25Think about that. Told Sir Alex to F off.
01:28And made Cristiano Ronaldo cry during a training session in like 2006.
01:32When Ronaldo was starting his career at Manchester United.
01:35So Old Trafford, the theatre of dreams.
01:38Gonna be going nuts on Sunday with Erik Ten Hag out.
01:40Now we know, man, you were about to hire a new Portuguese manager.
01:43But he won't be taking over for this game.
01:45It'll be Ruud van Nistelrooy.
01:46And Chelsea come into town.
01:48And I love Chelsea, that's my favourite team.
01:49I think if you're a bet in this game, you gotta ride with the emotion.
01:52That's how soccer works sometimes.
01:54Manchester United, kick em in the game.
01:57Minus one, draw, no bet.
01:58Draw, ends in a draw.
02:00Your bet never happened.
02:02Man U wins the game, we win.
02:03The only way we lose the bet is if Chelsea win.
02:05I don't think that's gonna happen.
02:07I think the emotion will be crazy Sunday at Old Trafford.
02:09Man U, draw, no bet.
02:11Minus 115.
02:12And those are Nicky Football's bets for this weekend in the Premier League.
