Well we hope you've been paying attention. Fair enough, there wasn't much reason for you to be after our horrendous tipping up this season, but if you did stick with us, we hope we bought a few weeks' grace after we played an absolute blinder last week.
Three of our five bets came in, including a beauty at 10/1 for Chelsea to beat Swansea at 3/1. We hope we can live up to our own hype for the weekend ahead.
It's the reverse of the opening day fixtures this weekend, which is always a great way to reflect on how far your expectations for your club have fallen since the glorious summer when you had nothing but hope. Not too unlike our betting predictions.
The Balls.ie Ladbrokes Bet Of The Week:
Liverpool V Arsenal to have over 4.5 goals - 4/1
Gavin Cooney got to keep the reigns for the Ladbrokes Bet of the Week on this week's Football Show after his successful choice of an Everton/West Brom double. This week his choice is fairly self explanatory. Liverpool and Arsenal is ALWAYS a goalfest. Gavin explained his thinking on the podcast:
With Liverpool and Arsenal, I've never seen a better example of a resistible force meeting a moveable object. They are two utterly spineless teams who will collapse in an orgy of goals. It was seven goals at the Emirates, the last time they played at Anfield, it was 3-3. This game has more 90th minute goals than any other fixture in the Premier League.
Hard to argue. It's also one of the games this weekend for which Ladbrokes are offering double odds, so even more tempting.
Manchester United to beat Bournemouth and Zlatan to score - 4/6
Look, the odds aren't great, but this could be a banker. It's also the early game tomorrow so it could be a nice one to get your weekend going.
United are unbeaten in 16 games in the league, and have just won the League Cup. Bournemouth, meanwhile, have one point in their last six games. They won't get anything at Old Trafford.
Zlatan has scored 26 goals this season and six in his last four games. He'll surely put one past the Holy Goalie tomorrow.
West Ham and Cheslea to draw - 3/1
I know this sounds mad, but Chelsea have drawn their last two away games, to Liverpool and Burnley. Also, when they played West Ham on the first Monday Night Football of the season at Stamford Bridge, they only got the win thanks to a last minute winner by Diego Costa.
West Ham have only lost to the two Manchester clubs in 2017, although both games were at home.
Spurs and Everton to have less than 1.5 goals - 3/1
An exciting fixture, and with Kane and Lukaku at the top of the scorer's charts, this might blow up in our faces, but Spurs have the best defensive record in the Premier League this season, conceding just 18 goals. Everton haven't been too bad either, letting in just 27 so far. This one could be tighter than expected.
Man City to beat Sunderland 4-0 at the Stadium of Light - 12/1
After the success of last week, we had to throw in one exact scoreline.
Sunderland have lost 4-0 twice in the last three games, and haven't even scored a goal since January 14th. Their form is shocking and although City haven't been at their best in recent months, this is the kind of fixture they tend to fill their boots in. They've had three 4-0 wins already this season, two of them away from home.
Ladbrokes are offering double odds in store this weekend for Birmingham V Leeds, Liverpool V Arsenal, Spurs V Everton, Sunderland V Man City and West Ham V Chelsea.
