Premier League Betting RSS

The Barclays Premier League sits atop of the domestic football pyramid in England. It is the one that Championship Clubs are breaking the bank to try and get into. With only four winners in its history – some see the league as a bit of a closed shop. The so called 'Big 4' as in Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool (who haven't actually won it) are always seen as the teams to beat. They often represent England in the UEFA Champions League where they battle it out with the best football teams from across Europe.
