Manchester City (2.8) Draw (3.5) Manchester United (2.5)This is probably the lowest price I have ever seen Man City at home to Man U in the Premier League era. City are favourites to get that 4th spot. They seem to have found their scoring boots, knocking in 3,6 and 5 in their last 3 games. Man U have had a bad few games. Beaten by their title rivals, Chelsea, getting knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern and then a goaless draw at Blackburn. They've more or less surrendered the title to Chelsea after looking in total control. Tricky game to predict this. Without Rooney, I am favouring City. They met earlier in the season in the Carling Cup and City won 2-1. United look average without Rooney and City do have the strike force that can penetrate leaky Manchester United defence. Man City are 2.8 at bet365.
Birmingham (1.8) Draw (3.6) Hull (5.5)
Birmingham were thrashed 5-1 at City last weekend. Maybe they are getting that end of season feeling. They have also drawn their last 3 games at home but they were against Everton, Liverpool and Arsenal so no shame there. They do tend to beat the less teams that visit St Andrews and Hull are certainly a lesser team. Hull could have kept their hopes of staying up alive last week against Burnley but a 4-1 home defeat means that they are probably going down now. They are the only team that haven't won away all season. If Birmingham had something to play for, surely they'd be 1.6-1.7 but the bookies have gone 1.8 for them. Its a good price as I can't seem Birmingham taking their foot off the pedal at home to a poor Hull City side. Skybet and Ladbrokes go 1.8 on a Birmingham win.
Blackburn (2.8) Draw (3.3) Everton (2.7)
Blackburn ended Man U's title challenge last week but not letting them leave with all 3 points. Blackburn have been extremely strong at home all season with a 9-6-2 record. The two defeats were against City on the first day of the season and to Spurs. Everton still can qualify for the Europa League next season if they can overtake Villa and Chelsea win the FA Cup. Everton played really well against Villa midweek and should have really take all 3 points. Another tricky one so I think the draw is the logical option. Blackburn don't lose at home and Everton are in good form. The draw is 3.3 at most places.
Fulham (2.2) Draw (3.3) Wolverhampton (4)
Fulham got a good draw at Anfield last weekend, really ending any chance of Liverpool getting 4th place now. The thing for Fulham is that the Europa League semi final is next Thursday. I don't think their minds will be on this meaningless fixture. Their season rests on the Europa League now. It wouldn't surprise me if we saw a different Fulham side out. Wolves on 33 points are 6 ahead of Burnley and a better goal difference too. This means they are safe. I think they'd be happy with a point here just to make sure. Both teams had 0-0 draws in their last game and that score line wouldn't surprise me at all. The draw is 3.3 at Boylesport or under 1.5 goals is 3.0. Both are good bets given the circumstances.
Stoke (2.1) Draw (3.4) Bolton (4)
Stoke keep on playing despite having nothing to play for. I think I will have to change my thoughts on them. Maybe they have got some juicy final position bonus or just want to beat last years points tally. Bolton should more or less be safe now. They played a stunning game against Chelsea midweek where they lost 1-0 but could and maybe should have got all 3 points. I don't think they'll be able to put in another performance like that again for a while. Stoke for me. Its 2.1 at Bodog New players get up to £125 in free bets.
Sunderland (1.62) Draw (3.85) Burnley (6.5)
Sunderland have picked up their home form in recent weeks. Away form is still poor but at home they have done a number on a few teams that are below them. Darren Bent is on fire at the moment but the bookies have cottoned on to that and prices for him to score are shockingly low. Burnley got their first away win of the season last weekend against Hull. Those penalties they got and the fact that Hull were rubbish helped a lot. I don't think they will be getting a win here. Sunderland at 1.62 may sound poor but Burnley just don't turn up away from home. 1.62 at bet365.
Tottenham (4.3) Draw (3.6) Chelsea (1.95)
Spurs broke their duck against Arsenal midweek with a 2-1 win. This was a good reaction to the FA Cup upset. The Arsenal game would have taken it out of them. Chelsea will be watching the early game with a lot of interest. If United get beat a draw will be OK for them here. Chelsea were poor against Bolton so will surely raise their game here. Spurs do look a big price for the home team. On their day they can beat anyone. I think the draw is the best option, especially if Man U lose earlier in the day. I can't really be backing Chelsea away from home at odds on in any case. The draw is 3.6 at bet365.
