It’s that time of the week again where we go to war with one of our readers, as well as Hayley O’Connor from Ladbrokes, to decide who actually knows the most stuff about football.
OK, maybe it’s not war, but we cannot help being competitive.
Every week, we’ll be putting a shout out on Twitter for JOE readers to send us in their Premier League treble selections via the #LadbrokesTreble hashtag and every week, one lucky winner will be able to put someone else’s money where their mouth is with a free €50 bet.
Here’s this week’s selections.
JOE’s Selection
Arsenal v Liverpool, draw 14/5
We don’t think there is anything between these two sides who are chasing the Champions League places. Liverpool weren’t at their best a fortnight ago against United and they’ll be eager to redeem themselves here.
Manchester United v Aston Villa, Manchester United to win 3/10
Villa have been much better under Tim Sherwood but we still think United will have far too much for them here. Home advantage, form and a far superior squad point towards a Manchester United win.
Swansea v Hull, Swansea to win 17/20
Hull have only won away against Swansea once in their last 14 attempts, so our cash is on the Swans.
This returns just over 8/1.
JOE Reader’s Selection
This week’s lucky winner is Manus Gill.

Ladbrokes Selection
Everton v Southampton, Southampton to win 7/4
Everton have won only won league game against a side in the top half of the table. That, coupled with the fact Southampton are chasing Europe, suggest an away win here.
West Brom v QPR, West Brom to win 4/5
QPR have lost 9 of their last 10 league matches. That’s enough evidence for us.
Chelsea v Stoke, Chelsea to win 2/7
We don’t think Stoke will dent Chelsea’s unbeaten home record. We’re going for the Blues here.
This returns just over 5/1.
So who’ll be the big winner this week? Only time will tell.
