There were no shortage of talking points last weekend as the Premier League really started to heat up. And with two derby games on Sunday, there is plenty to look forward to, writes Rob Treloar…

Manchester City’s comprehensive win over Arsenal confirmed their credentials as serious challengers to the top four. City steamrollered the Gunners in a fantastic second half display. Of course most of the attention focussed on Emmanuel Adebayor, for his unsavoury retaliation to Robin Van Persie’s challenge and his passionate goal celebration in front of the Arsenal fans who had taunted him all afternoon. Adebayor may yet face charges for the latter incident but as it is a three match ban for the kick out at Van Persie will mean he misses the Manchester derby this weekend.

The ban comes as a huge blow for Mark Hughes’s side, for who Adebayor has played a starring role, scoring in every game so far this season. And with Robinho ruled out through injury and Carlos Tevez struggling to be fit to face his former club, Hughes could face a selection problem ahead of the big game. However, Carlos Tevez will be desperate to play and I wouldn’t bet against the fiery Argentinean playing through the pain barrier if need be. Tevez could be in for a hostile reception at Old Trafford, he was adored by the United fans who publicly urged Sir Alex Ferguson to sign him on a permanent basis, but Tevez’s defection across to the blue half of the city will certainly have angered United fans.

If he does win the race to be fit, Carlos Tevez is priced at 243/100 with bwin to score against his former club. City will go into the match full of confidence on the back of their terrific start to the season, but United have started to pick up momentum. The derby is often a tightly contested affair so there is value in 5/2 for the draw.

In London, Chelsea play host to local rivals Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs got off to a flying start to the season but their winning run came shuddering to a halt last week when Manchester United outclassed them at the Lane. The fixtures computer has hardly been kind to Spurs, handing them a trip to Stamford Bridge immediately after they faced the champions but Spurs will have to improve on their performance last week if they are to take anything from the game against Chelsea. The Blues are in great form under Carlo Ancelotti, who couldn’t have asked for a better start to his career at the club. Unsurprisingly, Chelsea are favourites to beat Spurs and are priced at 2/5. Frank Lampard has always enjoyed beating the North London club and with bwin he is priced at 11/2 to open the scoring on Sunday. Why not combine the two bets and get odds of 81/10.

On Saturday Liverpool travel to West Ham and Arsenal entertain Wigan. Rafa Benitez’s side are 9/20 to win at Upton Park, while the Gunners are 1/4 to beat Wigan at home.

Treloar’s tip: Of the 46 matches played so far, unbelievably there have only been three draws. Expect that tally to go up this weekend. Back a draw treble with Hull-Birmingham, Bolton-Stoke and Wolves-Fulham all ending in a stalemate. You’ll get combined odds of 2927/100.
