ATS for weekend 25-26 Aug

YTD ATS Analysis
Both Arsenal and Manchester United are both on losing ATS streaks.
Arsenal : 0-0-2
MU : 0-0-3

Of the 2 teams, Arsenal seem more likely to break their ATS duck with a home game against Manchester City this weekend. However, with the spread at Ars -3/4, it will take a brave man to take out his cash to wager against top-of-the-table Man City, who are currently in a rich vein of form with new owner and new manager at the helm.

Pure Plays

Liverpool 1-0-1
From an ATS pov, it would be safe to take Liverpool -3/4 away at Sunderland as a trend reversal seems to be taking place with Rafa's new boys. Their last season's Away ATS record was 6-0-13, which they have identified as their weak link, and I am very sure they will go all out for a win to cover the spread.
ATS Take : Take Liverpool to cover the -3/4 handicap

Chelsea 1-1-1
No clear signs developing for Chelsea yet. Their Home ATS record does not bode well with a -1 1/4 handicap this weekend at home to in-form Portsmouth, who beat Bolton 3-1 last week. Bettors will be sticking their neck out for Chelsea to beat the spread this week.
ATS Take : DNB

Arsenal 0-0-2
Arsenal face early league leaders Man City at the Emirates. Many bettors will be jumping behind the new leaders after their impressive 1-0 win over arch-rivals Man Utd last week. A change of guard is taking place in this youthful Arsenal squad, and I will stick it out by saying that the young Gunners will overcome the spread and register their first ATS win at home.
ATS Take : Take Arsenal to cover the -3/4 handicap

Manchester United 0-0-3
Nothing much is going for Ferguson's men at the moment. To add salt to wound, they lost to their arch-rivals last weekend, which will dampen team spirit ahead of the Old Trafford clash with born-again Spurs, which hammered newly promoted side Derby 4-0.
ATS Take : Take Spurs on the +3/4 handicap as MU continue their worst start to the season
