1st - 2nd October 2011
1st October 2011Everton (3.2) Draw (3.3) Liverpool (2.5)
Everton held on for the first half against City last weekend but could not respond when City scored. They played very defensively with no recognised striker. Cahill is a slight doubt so maybe Moyes will play a striker instead, Saha maybe. Liverpool saw off Wolves 2-1 last weekend but it wasn't as comfortable as it should have. Gerrard will probably start on the bench again. Suarez, Carroll and Bellamy are all strong strikers for Liverpool. Thats why I give them the edge in this fixture. With the players Everton have got, I can't see them winning this but a draw wouldn't be a surprise. Liverpool draw not bet at bluesquare
at 1.8 is a safe bet.
Aston Villa (1.7) Draw (4) Wigan (6)
I can't believe that Villa are still unbeaten this season. They were pretty ordinary against QPR last weekend. To be fair it was a bit unlucky of them to only get a draw but you could say the penalty they got was lucky too. Bent and Heskey should be back for this game so maybe they'll do something in open play. No shame for Wigan losing 2-1 to Spurs last weekend. They got back in to the game at 2-1 but after they went down to 10 men, there was little chance of them getting anything. I am bit more concerned about the performance at Everton. They went ahead but collapsed soon afterwards. I'd say Villa will win this game but not at 1.7. Wigan at 6.0 is better value but I can't trust them. So they draw at 4.0 then at Stan James
. Interesting stat is that Villa have never beaten Wigan at Villa Park.
Blackburn (6.5) Draw (4.2) Manchester City (1.57)
Blackburn couldn't follow up the win against Arsenal. They lost 3-1 at Newcastle. Olsson will miss the game after being sent off. Blackburn sit in the relegation zone and look like they will be there or there abouts all season. Big drama and reality check for City midweek. Despite all the money spent, they were outclassed by Bayern Munich. Tevez refused to play and there seems to be a bit of decent amongst the players. I see think they will win this. Odds are a little on the low side but I don't see Blackburn getting anything from this at all. Its 1.57 at PaddyPower. Over 2.5 goals at 1.73 at Boylesports is a decent bet too. It didn't come in last weekend but would have come in every league game before. I just fear a 2-0 scoreline here.
Manchester United (1.17) Draw (8) Norwich (21)
I thought I'd devised a perfect betting system. Betting on Manchester United every week seemed to be printing money. They let me down the last couple of games though. I am not a fan of Rooney but it appears that they aren't as good a team without him. The good news is that him and Hernandez will be back. 2 wins on the bounce for Norwich. I don't think they'll be able to make it 3 out of 3 though. Bolton and Sunderland are in shocking form so the 2-1 scored wouldn't have come as much of a surprise. Manchester United for the win but at 1.17 a different betting angle is needed. Over 3.5 goals is 1.91 at William Hill. I can actually see Norwich scoring here so a 3-1, 4-1 scoreline will payout nicely. Plus, you'll get a payout if it does end up a crazy 3-3 like against Basel.
Sunderland (2.3) Draw (3.4) West Brom (3.4)
Sunderland were absolutely terrible against Norwich last week. Its like they only turned up for the last 10 minutes. They let Norwich have all the possession and didn't look like scoring at all. I can't believe they managed to beat Stoke 4-0 the week before. West Brom were out played in their 0-0 home draw to Fulham. Its a little concerning for them that in their last 4 games they only managed to score 1 goal against, Fulham, Swansea, Norwich and Stoke. Odemwingie not in form for them. Tricky game to call this as they are both shockingly bad teams. I guess the logical choice is the draw then. I don't trust any of them to win this. Its 3.4 at bet365.
Wolverhampton (2.5) Draw (3.4) Newcastle (3)
Wolves came back strong against Liverpool after going 2-0 down. It finished 2-1 which was a fair result. Its some comfort for Wolves they didn't collapse. Thats 3 defeats in a row now after a flying start. Newcastle, sit in 4th, unbeaten all season. Sooner or later I will have to give them some credit. Last weekend they beat Blackburn 3-1 win Ba scoring a hattrick. They are bound to drop at some point but I am not going to be betting against them until they start losing. I don't think Newcastle will lose this weekend. I will go for a draw here. Best price on the coupon. The draw is 3.4 at Totesport.
2nd October 2011
Bolton (7.5) Draw (4.4) Chelsea (1.55)
Tough start for the season for Bolton. Some of the fixtures have been harsh but losing to Norwich at home wasn't a tough one and they lost that. They are missing Sturridge and Elmander from last season. Chelsea were minutes away from getting a great result in Spain midweek. Torres will be suspended for this game but Drogba can easily fill in for him. Drogba loves scoring against Bolton. Last weekend they demolished Swansea 4-1 with 10 men for most of the game. Shame they let one in. Chelsea aren't a team that suffer from after Champions League games. I fully expect them to win this. They have won the last games to nil against Bolton. I am going for Chelsea to win to nil at 2.75 at bluesquare. Cech hasn't kept a clean sheet since the first game of the season so is due one for sure.
Fulham (2.05) Draw (3.5) QPR (4)
Still no win for Fulham and the pressure is on Jol to get a result. To be fair, the should have got more than a point at West Brom and drawing 2-2 at home to Manchester City is a good result. Fulham also won midweek in Europe 2-0 with Johnson scoring both goals. Could be some tiredness there coming back from Denmark. QPR were lucky to get a point last weekend to Villa. The started well but after about 30 minutes they didn't look like scoring. It was only a late own goal that allowed them to snatch a point. Traore will miss this game due to being sent off late in that game. I don't think Fulham should be almost even money favorites here. I would be all over QPR if I didn't watch them Sunday but as I did, I think the draw is the best bet. 3.5 at Skybet.
Swansea City (2.8) Draw (3.3) Stoke (2.9)
Swansea matched Chelsea for possession last weekend but still went down 4-1. They just don't have the strikers that can put the ball away. Those 3 goals they scored the other week against West Brom could have been a freak. To be fair Swansea did manage to get a consolation goal. Stoke broke my accumulator last weekend by not losing to Manchester United. They looked a great side and United would have had no complaints if Stoke would have won that game. Midweek they had a Europa League game against Besiktas which they won 2-1. Thats what worries me though. Last time they had a European game, they came back and got thumped 4-0 by Sunderland. I suppose no long flight back from the Ukraine this time for them. Bookies are finding it hard to separate the two teams. I am leaning more towards Stoke than Swansea but any of the results wouldn't be a surprise. I skip this one.
Tottenham (2.2) Draw (3.5) Arsenal (3.5)
Could this be the year that Spurs over take Arsenal in the league? I think so. Spurs have been playing some great football after getting spanked by the Manchester sides. Redknapp was able to play a weakened side and still win in the Europa League. Adebayor is in great form and will enjoy playing against his old side. Arsenal had to play a strong side against Olympiakos and made hard work of it. Even at 2-0 up, they weren't convincing. The game finished 2-1 but I don't think Arsenal would have had any complaints if they had lost that. On paper, this is one of the weakest Arsenal sides in memory. The injuries don't help but I'd see a full strength Arsenal side struggling against Spurs. At 2.2 I am on Spurs. Last away game, Arsenal let in 4 against Blackburn and Spurs have much better players than Blackburn. This could be as embarrassing as the trip to Old Trafford. 2.2 at PaddyPower. Free £50 bet for new players.
