Aston Villa (3.6) Draw (3.4) Arsenal (2.25)
Villa’s youthful side couldn’t compete with Blackburn last weekend and rightfully lost 2-0. More or the less the same inexperienced side will be there this week. Maybe they will do better against and an attacking Arsenal team. The same side did play Manchester United off the pitch for 70 minutes the week before. Arsenal have had a bad week. 2-0 up last weekend against Spurs at half time, most people thought it was over but Spurs came back to win 3-2. Nothing much wrong with the Arsenal performance, Spurs just upped their game. Then midweek a routine Champions League game ended up in a 2-0 defeat. Arsenal have been inconsistent in a very unpredictable season. I will go for them here though. They’ll recall their players that were missing from midweek and bounce back. Reminds me of a couple of weeks ago when I thought Arsenal were vulnerable at Everton and they won there. The price is 2.25 at bluesquare
Bolton (1.62) Draw (4.2) Blackpool (6.5)
Bolton were as high as 4th place last weekend with a stunning 5-1 demolition of Newcastle. Davis and Elmander are making up quite a strike partnership. Bookies have caught on though and the price on Bolton looks pretty low. I can’t remember they were this heavily favoured. Blackpool continue to pick up points despite on paper not being good enough for this division. Varney scored a cracker to help beat Wolves last weekend. I think this will be a home win but the odds are far too low. I prefer the overs alternative. Blackpool are involved in a high number of overs games. I guess its because they don’t settle for draws. Best off going for 3 points than taking 1. Bolton have a strike force that have been scoring for fun so overs is a better option. Odds are low for this too but you can 1.62 for over 2.5 goals at Betfred. The same price as a Bolton win.
Everton (1.62) Draw (4) West Bromwich (7)
Everton fought with a late goal against Sunderland to take a point from the Stadium of Light. They could have won it if it weren’t for Beckford missing a golden opportunity in stoppage time. Still there is a little consistency in form. They rely far too much on Cahill for goals. West Brom’s run has well and truly come to an end now. A 3-0 home defeat last week brought them crashing down to earth. I suppose it couldn’t last but during that good run where they famously beat Arsenal they were up to 4th at one point. I think Everton will win this but 1.62 is a little low. I’d much rather take a speculative punt on the 7.0 on West Brom. Everton have shown great potential but results have been lacking. In this crazy season so far, anything can happen and it wouldn’t be that much of a surprise if West Brom won this. Its 7.0 at VC Bet.
Fulham (2.15) Draw (3.3) Birmingham (3.85)
Fulham were poor against City last weekend and got thrashed 4-1. It was over by half time (3-0). They gave City too much space. To be fair, City played an excellent game too and they do have the players to win the Premiership on their day. Still, this Fulham side look a bit toothless. Birmingham will be on a high after their 1-0 win over Chelsea. It was backs to the wall most of the game. Their defence just stood firm. That’s 2 clean sheets in a row now. Last season their success was built on a very tight defence and it looks like they may have found that again. This game looks like its got draw written all over it. 8 draws for Fulham this season and 7 for Birmingham. Neither team score very much either. The draw is 3.3 at Skybet.
Manchester United (1.29) Draw (6) Blackburn (13)
Strange season for Manchester United. Still undefeated but not really hit top gear and drawing far too many games. Rooney is back and the fans gave him a warm welcome. The problem is that I think he has lost that spark that made him a world class player. He’s pretty ordinary now. He scored a penalty against Ranger to win that game but so what. Anyone can score a penalty, especially as they were going through to the next round regardless of whether the penalty was scored or not. They didn’t even look that good against the 9 men of Wigan. Blackburn did a good job over the young Villa side last weekend. Pederson grabbed a couple after a long drought of goals. Away from home they are a different beast though. If this was at Blackburn I’d be backing them. Manchester United should win this but 1.29 is far too low. I’d much rather be on Blackburn on the Asian Handicap. Blackburn +1.5 goals is 2.05 at VC Bet.

Newcastle United (5.5) Draw (3.75) Chelsea (1.75)
Bad weekend for Newcastle last. A 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Bolton. Things won’t be good in defence this week with Coloccini and Williamson both out through suspension. Carroll is still scoring for fun. Chelsea are going through a massive dip in form. Without Terry at the back and Essien and Lampard in midfield, they look weak. 3 losses in the last 4 league games. Only one goal scored too. Chelsea did well against Birmingham last weekend and only excellent defending allowed Birmingham to win 1-0. Midweek, they struggled to beat Zilina in the Champions League but that was with a youth side. Still, I think the full side are going to struggle here. Teams usually bounce back strong after a thrashing and I expect Newcastle to do the same. 5.5 is a huge price for the home team at Boylesports.
Tottenham (2.1) Draw (3.4) Liverpool (4)
Great comeback from Spurs last week against Arsenal. I don’t know what was said at half time but whatever it was, it worked. Midweek they had a midweek game in the Champions League but that ended up being a nice stroll in the park for them. Sometimes I worry about the Spurs performance after a Champions League but this is Liverpool. Liverpool eased past West Ham last weekend 3-0. I guess West Ham are worse than I thought. I didn’t see much positive from the performance. Gerrard looks like he’s still out. Liverpool have been shocking away from home this season, 1-2-4. I really can’t see them getting anything here. 2.1 is a great price for Spurs at PaddyPower. Only danger is that Spurs dip in form after the Champions League game but as I said, its only Liverpool.
