The Golden Nuggets 2010/11 - English Premier League

By Sports Magician

Sky Bet have released prices on top goalscorers for the respective Premier League clubs and the Golden Nuggets like the look of a double involving two players who were the main source of goals for their clubs last season. Wayne Rooney and Darren Bent scored 50 Premier League goals between them last season, with Bent accounting for 50% of Sunderland’s league goals. Rooney ended the campaign on 26 and would surely have reached the 30-mark had he not had an injury-disrupted end to his season. Rooney will once again be the focal point for Manchester United’s attack and it’s almost impossible to see him being outscored by anyone at the club providing he remains healthy for a majority of the season.

Surprisingly, Bent is a bigger price to top score for Sunderland than Rooney is for United, when the dependence on goals from Bent for the Black Cats is far greater. The former Tottenham striker had an outstanding first season for Steve Bruce’s side – scoring 24 league goals, although seemingly no amount of goals was enough to impress Fabio Capello to take him to the World Cup. The Golden Nuggets will be placing maximum confidence in this double.

PICK: 5*(DOUBLE) WAYNE ROONEY TO BE TOP MANCHESTER UNITED LEAGUE GOALSCORER (1.57) & DARREN BENT TO BE TOP SUNDERLAND LEAGUE GOALSCORER (1.67) @ 2.62 (SKY BET)
