Manchester United (2.65) Draw (3.3) Chelsea (2.8)This well could end up being the title decider. If Man U win this then they will surely win the title. The big concern for them is that Rooney is out. His form this season has been sensational. I think they are going to struggle without him. I still don't rate Berbatov. They also had a hard trip to Germany midweek. Chelsea, having been knocked out of the Champions League have had all week to prepare for this. Their form has picked up the last couple of games. The 5-0 at Portsmouth was nothing that special but beating Villa 7-1 shows they mean business. With Rooney I may have gone Man U. Odds are slightly higher than I thought the would be but without Rooney and the midweek game, I am going for Chelsea. The straight win is 2.8 at Ladbrokes and the safer bet of Chelsea draw no bet is even money.
Arsenal (1.25) Draw (6.5) Wolverhampton (15)
Excellent midweek game against Barcelona for Arsenal. First half hour or so it was embarrassing and when they went 2-0 down in the second half you feared for them. They pulled it back to 2-2 with the introduction of Walcott. Last weeks draw at Birmingham have reduced the chances of Arsenal winning the league massively. I don't think there are enough games left for them to win it now. Wolves are in the best form they've been in all season. Unbeaten in 4, with 2 win and 2 draws they have pulled 5 points clear of the relegation zone. The odds suggest an easy win for Arsenal. I am not convinced. That midweek encounter would have taken it out of them. I am going with Wolves on the 1X2 handicap. SportingBet are doing Wolves +2 goals at 2.2.
Bolton (3) Draw (3.3) Aston Villa (2.62)
Bolton seem to have done enough to stay up this year. They are 5 points clear of the relegation zone now despite losing their last 2 games. No real shame in any of those losses. You wouldn't really expect Bolton to get anything from Everton or Man U. Humiliation for Villa at Chelsea. 7-1 must go down as one of their heaviest defeats ever. That result leaves them 6 points behind Spurs meaning 4th place is highly unlikely now. Good teams usually bounce back after heavy defeats. What worries me is that Villa fell apart this time last season too and the 7-1 loss just highlighted that. Looking at past results from this fixture a draw seems likely, 4 draws in the last seasons. Its 3.3 at Totesport.
Portsmouth (3.6) Draw (3.5) Blackburn (2.2)
Portsmouth could be mathematically relegated this weekend. The points deduction pretty much sealed their fate. They are playing like a team with nothing to play for now. I guess they all just want the season to end. A lot of injuries too. Blackburn don't like playing away from home. Only 2 wins away from home all season. Last weeks win at Burnley was due to a dodgy penalty and it was a terrible game of football. Saying that I will be backing Blackburn this weekend. 2.2 isn't a price you'd be wanting on Blackburn away from home but when they are playing Portsmouth, its not a bad price at all. Blackburn 2.2 at Skybet.
Stoke (1.8) Draw (3.55) Hull (5)
I thought Stoke had finished for the season but they still went to West Ham and won. I think thats got something to do with West Ham being bad though rather than Stoke really being that bothered. Hull got their first win in 6 against a weakened Fulham side. With West Ham losing, they have a chance to stay up. Strange odds here in my opinion. Stoke have nothing to play for and Hull are fighting for their lives. The Britannia isn't the fortress it was last year so 1.8 doesn't make sense to me. I am going to take a chance on Hull. 5.0 at VC Bet
is a big price.
Sunderland (3.8) Draw (3.4) Tottenham (2.15)
Sunderland were bad against Liverpool last weekend and were thumped 3-0. They may have just been relaxing after their recent run of good form. They are on 35 points now which means they are probably safe already. They are a strong home side and have only been beat twice all season by Chelsea and Villa. Spurs run of 5 straight wins puts them in the driving seat for that 4th spot. I wasn't convinced about Spurs away ability after the defeat at Wolves but since then they have gone on to beat Wigan and Stoke away. I will go for Spurs here as I think they have more to play for and are a better team. I would have maybe expected evens for Spurs in this game so the 2.15 is a good price at William Hill.
Burnley (5.5) Draw (4) Manchester City (1.73)
Burnley were unlucky last week against Blackburn. On a different day they could have won that. That result leaves them 3 points from safety. Looking at their fixtures it looks like they are going down. Owen Coyle did well to leave when he did. City aren't playing well as a team.. Tevez is carrying them I think. He scored the hat trick that beat Wigan 3-0 but apart from him, I don't see anyone else shining. I will be going for City still. Burnley just seem to lose to everyone. Last 4 home fixtures were against Portsmouth, Stoke, Wolves and Blackburn. They only managed to get a point from that. City are a better side than any of those so I expect them to win. Its 1.73 at bluesquare
