Gunners Look to Repeat Dose Against Magpies
Arsenal fans will be hoping for another emphatic win over Newcastle on Tuesday night, having beaten them 3-0 in the FA Cup on Saturday at the Emirates Stadium. The victory will have helped lift the mood after last Tuesday night’s 5-1 Carling Cup mauling by bitter rivals, Spurs. It was also an opportunity for Emmanuel Adebayor to mend fences after his unsavoury bust-up with team-mate, Nicklas Bendtner. The striker made amend with two goals against the Geordies, and will look to repeat the dose.
This will be the third game of Kevin Keegan’s return spell as manager of Newcastle, and the attack minded boss is still waiting for his first goal. His first match back in charge generated enormous expectation but fell rather flat as the Magpies drew 0-0 at home to Bolton. After the FA Cup defeat, Keegan can forget silverware for this season, and focus of the grim realities of the job in hand. Newcastle lost their last Premiership away match 6-0 at Old Trafford, and he will desperate to avoid another hammering. Arsenal are unbeaten at home this season, and will simply look to repeat Saturday’s performance, but targeting to get ahead earlier. PinnacleSports.com price Arsenal favourites 1.943 (-1.5) with Newcastle 1.980 (+1.5) - a market priced to less than 102%.
Portsmouth May Suffer Without African Stars
Harry Redknapp takes his Portsmouth side to Old Trafford on Wednesday night without some of his biggest starts who are in action at the African Nations Cup. Sulley Muntari scored a stunning goal for Ghana in the opening game, where Kanu, John Utaka and Papa Bouba Diop are also in action, seriously weakening Pompey. Things seem to have settled down since Redknapp turned down a lucrative deal from Newcastle, and ‘Arry will certainly have to focus on the job, visiting the Theatre of Dreams. He may however, have Milan Baros available to help with a lack of strike-power, having secured a loan deal from Lyon.
Portsmouth have an enviable away record, with only Chelsea winning more games on the road this season, but United have dropped just two points at home in a dozen games, and have conceded just three times. A full strength Portsmouth side would have stood more of a chance, but there must be doubts in the circumstances. The Red Devils have no exposure to the tournament in Ghana, and should be at almost full strength, with Paul Scholes making a welcome return to action in Sunday’s 3-1 FA Cup win over Spurs. PinnacleSports.com price Man Utd 2.070 (-1.5 & -2)* with Portsmouth 1.862 (+1.5 & 2)*.
