Inter Leads United Down Play

Soccer Betting Lines

Manchester United has lost two straight Premier League contests to help Tottenham climb back into the title race, entering the weekend tied with Spurs on 45 points apiece. United will aim to keep the pressure on City as the Red Devils host Bolton at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Elsewhere on Saturday, Liverpool hopes to bounce back from a 3-0 drubbing at the hands of Manchester City when it hosts Stoke City, Blackburn looks to climb out of the cellar with a result against Fulham, and West Bromwich aims to avoid dropping its third straight game as it hosts Norwich City.

And Sunday, Newcastle looks to build upon its stunning three-goal victory over Manchester United in its last outing as it hosts QPR, while Swansea City, unbeaten in its last three, welcomes Arsenal to the Liberty Stadium.

Paris, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Carlo Ancelotti has led three European giants in Italy and England, and the Italian now has the task of developing a fourth in France. Ancelotti was named PSG's new coach late last month, and he inherits a team at the top of the Ligue 1 standings after the first half of the season. But, the former Juventus, AC Milan and Chelsea boss needs to produce better results.

Although PSG, which spent more than $100 million on offseason transfers, is at the summit, that was not enough to save former coach Antoine Kombouare.

PSG sporting director Leonardo turned to fellow countryman Ancelotti, who is no stranger to pressure as Juve, AC Milan and Chelsea were all clubs that were not interested in just being among the best.

PSG managed just a 2-1 win over Locmine last week in the French Cup, as it was able to squeeze into the last 32. Ancelotti switched the club to a 4-3-2-1 for that game, but "after three days of training it is difficult to make it work," he admitted.

Like Ancelotti, Javier Pastore will continue to shoulder a lot of pressure - only on the field. Pastore has six goals, but as the most expensive offseason addition at around $50 million, he has still disappeared at times.

Second-place Montpellier hosts fourth-place Lyon on Saturday, with those clubs three and five points off the pace, respectively.

On Sunday, defending champion Lille visits Marseille in a meeting of top-six sides riding extended unbeaten streaks. Lille, four points behind PSG in third place, is unbeaten in 17 straight. Marseille is unbeaten in five.

Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jurgen Klinsmann called up midfielder Jermaine Jones to the U.S. national team January training camp Friday. Jones will join the roster Saturday, as the U.S. prepares for matches against Venezuela and Panama later this month. He is currently serving an eight-week suspension at German club Schalke.
