Betting Spy: Win will do wonders for Arsenal or West Ham

Betting Spy got off the mark for the season with a nice little 5/2 double last week.

Only Huddersfield are breaking-up the capital's dominance of the lower reaches of the league

That’s more than can be said for Arsenal and West Ham who are down at the bottom without a single point between them.

It’s a bit early to be talking about relegation six pointers.

But both sides could desperately do with a morale boosting victory to ease any nagging doubts about their new managers.

Unai Emery and Manuel Pellegrini are trying to impose new playing styles on teams.

It’s fair to say it has been a mixed bag so far.

Arsenal are overdoing it a bit playing out from the back while West Ham’s high defensive line and ponderous midfield has seen opponents cut through them at will.

Everything points to a highly charged London derby with plenty of goals given both sides’ defensive frailties.

But the bookies aren’t all daft and prices for  four goals or more are only just above evens which is too tight to get involved with.

Luckily there are plenty of other bets on the coupon so let’s chance our arm with another go at a win double.

Watford are playing some good stuff this year and they often rack-up wins at the start of the season.

They host a Palace side who rely too heavily on Wilfred Zaha for any attacking threat so 6/4 on a home win looks attractive.

Man Utd were awful against Brighton and Spurs will be looking forward to their trip to Old Trafford.

The Red Devils look an unhappy ship and Spurs at a shade under 2/1 can take full advantage of that.

The Watford/Spurs win double pays nearly 5/1 which is well worth a punt.
