19th February 2011
Chelsea (1.6) Draw (4) Everton (6.5)
Bad times for Chelsea. They were lucky to have escaped from Fulham with a point after, Fulham were awarded a stoppage time penalty which Cech saved. Chelsea were all set up wrong. Torres is cup tied so it looks like Ancelotti will play the strike force that was winning them games. That might be a blessing in disguise as Torres hasn't been performing. Everton were extremely poor against Bolton last weekend. They surely must improve for this game. They do seem to like playing Chelsea at the Bridge though. 5 straight league draws there but there have been a couple of defeats in cup competitions 2-1. 1.6 isn't a price you want to be backing Chelsea at nowadays. In the past that would have been printing money but this Chelsea team might not even make top 4 this year. Everton +1 on the Asian Handicap at 1.88 looks great at Bet365. Chelsea do have the potential to win this by more than 2 goals but I think an Everton win or draw is more likely. A 1 goal win by Chelsea returns the bet.
Birmingham (1.7) Draw (3.8) Sheffield Wednesday (6.2)
I can't see why Sheffield Wednesday are given any chance here. They have been absolutely shocking this season in League 1 and have recently changed manager. It hasn't made any difference to their form though. They are still losing games in League 1. Birmingham have been inconsisent this year but so have many Premiership sides. They lost 2-0 to Newcastle midweek at home. I can't see how they can lose another game here. I am puzzled by the 1.7 at William Hill for the Birmingham win. I'd take that bet all day.
Manchester United (1.09) Draw (12) Crawley (36)
Not much to say about this game. I don't think Ferguson will play the big guns but still, there will still be a strong side. Manchester United are going to win so its just a case of looking for good bets. Manchester United to win to nil is 1.57 at Skybet or roughly the same bet is 'both teams team score', no at 1.53 at Bet365. Covers all the same scores as the win to nil bet but also gives you the 0-0, and 0-1 scores.
20th February 2011
Manchester City (1.22) Draw (7) Notts Co (15)
Another totally one sided game here. City will be taking this game a bit more seriously than they have done with the last few FA Cup games. The league is beyond them now and so the FA Cup is probably the best chance of silverware they have this season. City to win to nil is 1.91 at Bet365.
Leyton Orient (11) Draw (6) Arsenal (1.3)
The third one sided fixture of this FA Cup weekend. Arsenal will be on a high after their win over Barcelona. That could also be a disadvantage though. Will they be up for this game? I think so but its possible they won't be very committed to winning this. After all, they could just play for a draw, take them back to the Emirates and knock them out there. Arsenal to win to nil here is 2.25 at Paddypower.
21th February 2011
West Ham (2) Draw (3.75) Burnley (4.15)
West Ham were shocking last weekend against West Brom in the first half. 3-0 down, apparently a captain's talk by Parker motivated them to come out better second half and get a 3-3 draw. Burnley manager Eddie Howe has done a great job since taking over from Brian Laws. They are only 5 points above a play off position. I am very surprised at the odds here. West Ham maybe be second bottom of the Premiership but they are in a false position I feel. Given the gulf in quality between the Championship and the Premiership, I am surprised you can even money for West Ham. Grant has been doing well in these cup competitions this year and maybe their good run in the Carling Cup is all that has kept him in a job. West Ham is 2.0 at VC Bet.
