The Premier League is back after the FA Cup weekend and as ever, there are plenty of betting opportunities for punters looking to get their football betting fix, including an exclusive Bet365 free bets offer of £200 to pick up to all CaughtOffside visitors!

Bet365 have been in touch to tell us they will offer all CaughtOffside visitors a free £200/€200 bet to spend on any football match on the weekend! Backing Sunderland to beat Chelsea at 8/1 could net you £1600 free! Claim this exclusive free bets offer here- be quick – limited availability!

There are 10 games in total across Saturday, Sunday and Monday with every single top flight team looking to avoid January blues by picking up as many points as they possibly can.

Looking at Saturday’s fixtures to begin with, there are games which are expected to be extremely one sided. Manchester United are 1/6 to beat Bolton Wanderers at home for example, with the visitors a long shot at 18/1.

Owen Coyle’s side have improved in recent weeks, beating Everton at Goodison in their last game but I can’t really see an upset today. I won’t be backing Utd at 1/6 but do fancy the Red Devils to win with a two goal handicap at 11/10 with Bet365.

Similarly, Tottenham are expected to comfortably do the business against Wolves at White Hart Lane. Harry Redknapp’s men – who are looking to challenge for the title this year – are 3/10 to get the three points, with relegation threatened Wolves 12/1 to come away with a victory.

There are then several 3pm games on Saturday which are expected to be very close including Aston Villa (6/4) v Everton (11/5), Blackburn (2/1) v Fulham (6/4) and West Brom (10/9) v Norwich City (14/5).

As far as potential upsets go, Sunderland (8/1) will travel to Chelsea in excellent spirits after their recent form under new manager Martin O’Neill, having won three out of their last four, including victory over leaders Man City. 8/1 is massive value and should attract plenty of attention with punters.

Likewise, Stoke City (8/1) will be confident of giving Liverpool a run for their money at Anfield, however the return of Steven Gerrard should see Liverpool back to their best.

Moving onto Sunday’s fixtures, these two are expected to be entertaining and worth a bet on. Mark Hughes takes charge of QPR for the first time as they head to Newcastle at 1.30pm, before Swansea host Arsenal at 4pm.

For these two matches, the first goalscorer market it worth a look with plenty of candidates available. Perhaps most interestingly, QPR striker Federico Macheda is 9/1 to open the scoring at the Sports Direct Arena, while Thierry Henry is 4/1 to score the first goal at the Liberty Stadium.

Rounding of this weekend’s action in the Premier League is a Monday night fixture between Wigan and Manchester City. The hosts are rank outsiders for this one at 9/1, but having held Liverpool and Chelsea recently, they may be good value for a draw, available at 15/4.

Happy betting this weekend!

Stuart Pearce could be on his way out of the England set-up as Fabio Capello looks to be ready to start afresh on his England side. The Italian is looking to bring in Mauro Tassotti to replace the former-Manchester City manager. Goalkeeping coach Ray Clemence could also be on his way out, with Walter Zenga coming in. The two possible replacements are good friends with Capello.After England disgracefully crashed out of the World Cup in the second round against Germany, it seems that Capello wants to make the team his own, with his first point of call his own staff. Pearce and Clemence are the only English representatives the England coaching staff. The England manager, it seems, was deeply disappointed with the work of both men in South Africa.

Zenga is currently the manager Saudi Professional League side Al-Nassr and was a prominent figure for Italy, playing 58 times for his country between 1985 and 1992. The 60-year-old has mainly coached abroad; Capello clearly wants a coaching staff that can play anything but the English way.

Tassotti spent the majority of his playing career at AC Milan, where he played as a right-back. The 50-year-old is currently the assistant manger of the Italian giants, after being promoted from youth team manager during Carlo Ancelotti’s reign. Much like Pearce, the Italian is well known for his versatility and commitment.

The World Cup was a disaster for England but this, surely, isn’t the way to go. The players need to take most of the blame; maybe Capello should concentrate more on the Football rather than having his friends around him.

An amateur Footballer who received six red cards in the same match has admitted his playing career is over after receiving a two-year ban.
Paul Cooper, 39, got a second yellow card for dissent while playing for Hawick United against Pencaitland in the Border Amateur League in November.
He then received another five red cards for verbal exchanges with the referee.
Mr Cooper said he loved football but would now have to “find something else to do on a Saturday”.
The player, nicknamed Santa, said he realised it was his own fault he had got into disciplinary trouble.
“I completely overreacted after I had been sent off and I know I said things to the referee I should not have,” he said.
“But I felt so frustrated as I honestly wasn’t to blame for the incident that led to me being sent off.

“After the game I went to see the referee in his dressing room and I apologised to him for losing it and he accepted the apology.”
Mr Cooper said he was unable to attend a disciplinary hearing in Glasgow due to work commitments and then received a letter confirming his lengthy ban.
“Unfortunately I’ve been in bother before with bans and I expected six months,” he said.
“But I was absolutely stunned when I got two years.”
He added that he believed it had effectively ended his 22-year playing career.
He said: “I will just have to go with the flow, accept things and find something else to do on a Saturday.”
‘Matter closed’
Hawick United manager George Shepherd said he believed the two-year suspension was “way over the top”.
“A few mad moments have basically cost Paul his footballing career,” he said.
“He is a very good player and will be a big miss to Hawick United.”
Hugh Knapp, secretary of the Scottish Amateur Football Association, said the matter had been properly dealt with under its disciplinary procedures.
“Mr Cooper was given the opportunity to attend a hearing but decided not to,” he said.
“He was also given the opportunity to appeal to the Scottish Football Association and again chose not to do that so the matter is closed.”
Mr Cooper’s club Hawick United were also fined £150. (BBC Sport)

You have to admire this guys persistence but to get a two year ban simply for swearing repeatedly at a referee sounds more than a little harsh. If anyone has video footage of the incident I can assure you it would be a million hit wonder on Youtube!
