Weekend Preview: Man Utd’s new era starts against Chelsea as WTA Finals begin

Bet on the Premier League games, including Manchester United’s clash against Chelsea, and the WTA Finals this weekend at Housebets.

The weekend is here again, meaning it is time to watch our favourite teams, players, sports and leagues.

Last weekend delivered greatly, with the El-Clasico, UFC 308 and Arsenal’s clash against Liverpool delivering a sporting spectacle for fans.

While this weekend is not as loaded as the last, there are still a lot of sporting events to look forward to this weekend.

With the European football season in full swing, action continues in Europe’s domestic leagues this weekend.

Meanwhile, the new NBA season is growing in momentum, with some interesting games coming up this weekend.

There is also tennis action this weekend as the 2024 season enters its final weeks.

Indeed, there are many sporting events to watch this weekend, and we are here to look at the pick of the bunch.

Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek seek WTA Finals glory

The WTA finals kick off this weekend with all eyes on Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek as they battle for the end-of-the-year world No. 1.

Both players have a chance to end the year as world no 1, although Sabalenka has the edge currently.

This was the same scenario last year, with Sabalenka heading into the tournament as world no 1 and 630 point-lead over Swiatek.

However, Sabalenka missed out on the year-end no 1 after losing to Swiatek in the semifinal, with the Polish star winning the whole tournament without losing a match.

This year, Sabalenka heads into the tournament as the number one player in the world and has a 1,046 point advantage over Swiatek.

The good news for her is that she does not need to reach the final to end as the year-end world no. 1

Sabalenka can seal the year-end no 1 ranking if she wins all her three round-robin matches. She can also seal it with two wins in the round-robin stage if Swiatkek loses one match in the round-robin stage.

The Belarusian can also seal the year-end no 1 spot with one win in the round-robin stage if Swiatek loses two at the same stage.

For Swiatek, she needs almost a similar run to last year to have a chance of retaining the year-end no. 1 ranking.

The pressure will be on her when she starts her campaign on Sunday as she would’ve known the result of Sabalenka’s first match against Qinwen Zheng on Saturday.

Speaking of favourites to win the title, Sabalenka is the odds favourite at 2.60 followed by Swiatek at 4.0 and Coco Gauff at 6.0, all at Housebets.

Premier League: Manchester United vs Chelsea

Manchester United start a new era in the Premier League this weekend when they welcome Chelsea to Old Trafford.

United will have a familiar face in the dugout but it will not be Erik Ten Hag. The Dutchman was sacked on Monday following United’s 2-1 loss to West Ham last Sunday.

While the loss was controversial, Ten Hag should have no complaints as he had the sack coming.

In fact, he was given enough time to turn United’s fortunes around after a poor start to the season.

But the West Ham defeat turned out to be the final straw that broke the camel’s back. With Ten Hag gone, his assistant Ruud Van Nistelrooy took over as interim manager.

Nistelrooy, who Man Utd fans are familiar with after spending six successful years as a player at the club, is already off to a good start.

The former PSV manager watched his side put five past Leicester on Wednesday in the Carabao Cup.

Nistelrooy will now hope his side can build on that win when United take on Chelsea at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday evening.

History is on their side as United have not lost to Chelsea at home since 2013. The sad news for Nistelrooy, though, is that no matter how well he does, he will leave the role after November 9 as United have appointed Ruben Amorim as permanent manager.

Meanwhile, Chelsea will be looking to bounce back from their Carabao Cup defeat to Newcastle last Wednesday.

Despite that defeat, Chelsea have settled under Enzo Maresca after a tough defeat to Manchester City on opening weekend.

The Blues now look like a team equipped to challenge for a top four finish this season but face a tough trip to Old Trafford.

Despite United’s form, this clash is an opportunity for Maresca to if his team has what it takes to beat a big six rival.

So far, Chelsea are 0-2 against their big six rivals this season, losing to Man City and Liverpool.

It’s hard to separate the two teams according to the odds. Man Utd are the slight underdog with an odd of 2.55 against Chelsea’s 2.50 at Housebets.
