21st January 2012Norwich (6.1) Draw (4.2) Chelsea (1.62)
After beating QPR and West Brom away, can Norwich make it 3 wins in a row with a home victory over Chelsea? Holt and Morrison have goals in them so anything is possible. They have been playing well and will probably stay up. Chelsea have won their last 2 as well but haven't been convincing. Sunderland could have got at least a point last week. Torres is starting to look good though and Lampard is scoring again. From a betting point of view, there is no way I can be backing Chelsea at 1.62. Far too low for a team that is 5-3-2 away from home against Norwich who have only lost 3 at home. I am tempted with the home win at 6.1 but I fancy a 1-1 here. The draw is 4.2 at bet365.
Everton (1.62) Draw (4) Blackburn (7)
I don't understand Everton and the bookies. I just can't see how come they are such heavy favourites in any game, let alone this one. They have no reliable goal scorer and average just a goal a game. A 10 man Blackburn side managed to beat Fulham last weekend. It shows the team spirit is there and they are playing for the manager. The bad news is that Yakubu is suspended and Samba put in a transfer request. It'll be unsettling for the team. Looking at the odds, there's only one bet to have. Its got to be Blackburn at 7.0 at William Hill, either than or skip this game. Everton are not worth backing at 1.62.
Fulham (2.05) Draw (3.5) Newcastle (4.05)
I don't know what happened with Fulham last weekend at Blackburn. They were against 10 men at 0-0 and ended up losing 3-1. They must be reverting back to a Fulham of old where they just couldn't win away no matter what. At home though, they have had some solid form. I see the 5-0 loss against Manchester United as a blip. Newcastle are doing much better than expected without Ba and Tiote. You could say that they have only played Blackburn and QPR though. It would be good to see what they'd be like against stronger opposition. I guess the bookies think they'll lose this as Fulham are priced a bit short for me. It is a bit short considering the league positions but I suppose the missing players for Newcastle has brought the Fulham price down. Fulham are 2.05 at PaddyPower and that's my bet for this game.
Bolton (6.5) Draw (4) Liverpool (1.67)
Bolton won their FA Cup replay against Macclesfield town during the week. That pretty much the only good news they have. They sold their best player in Gary Cahill and desperately need to get some strikers. I don't think they'll trouble Liverpool with their current strike force. Liverpool are having a bad time of it too. They may have beat City in the Carling Cup and Oldham in the FA Cup but in the league, they are drawing far too many games. They do seem to play better away from home though as teams go to Anfield and shut up shop. I think Liverpool will have too much for Bolton here. 1.67 is poor considering how many draws Liverpool have had. I prefer the 2.75 on Liverpool to win to nil at bluesquare. I can't see that Bolton side scoring at all.
22nd January 2012
Manchester City (1.91) Draw (3.75) Tottenham (4.4)
City haven't looked as sparkling these past few games. They are missing Kompany and the Toure brothers. They looked tired against Wigan and weren't comfortable in their 1-0 win over Wigan last week. Spurs bottled it last weekend. With all the talk of them being title contenders, they managed to drop points at home to Wolves. For this game, they'll have to do without Adebayor as he's ineligible to play. That could be key as he's been key to Spur's great run. I think City all day. I could make an argument for Spurs at 4.4, it's a cracking price but City are 10-0-0 at home so I think that 1.91 is even better.
Arsenal (3) Draw (3.4) Manchester United (2.62)
Can Arsenal get revenge for the 8-2 defeat at Old Trafford? A few weeks ago I may have said yes but I am not convinced now. The wins they have had have been just by the odd goal and they have been dropping points, most noticeably against Fulham and Swansea. At Fulham they were a man down but at Swansea they were just outclassed. I have to say I have Rooney all wrong. When he's playing United more often than not win. The blips against Blackburn and Newcastle have been forgotten with wins over City in the FA Cup and Bolton in the league last weekend. If there is a winner, I suppose its going to be United. They do have the stronger team at the moment but they have underperformed in the big games when it matters. I will go for the draw. I don't see Arsenal losing 3 on the bounce but I don't see them winning it either and the draw is the biggest price of the 3. The draw is 3.4 at bet365.
