27 February 2010
Chelsea (1.5) Draw (4.8) Manchester City (8)
Top of the league Chelsea can go 4 points clear with a win here. Midweek, they lost to Inter Milan. They dominated but Inter scored with their only 2 meaningful attacks of the game. Chelsea have a strong home record with only 1 draw and the rest wins. City seem to have gone off the boil with no Tevez. They drew midweek with Stoke in the FA Cup replay and eventually lost 3-1 in extra time. If this game was earlier in the season I would be tempted with a Man City win. As it is, I can't see past a Chelsea win now. City beat Chelsea at Eastlands earlier in the season. Time for some revenge I think. Its 1.5 at Boylesport
Birmingham (2) Draw (3.4) Wigan (4.5)
Birmingham's European push probably ended last weekend with the defeat to Fulham. They were actually winning at half time but two second half Fulham goals meant that Birmingham have only take 4 points from their last 5 games. Recent home form is still pretty good though. Wigan are sliding fast. They were unlucky with the first goal conceded against Spurs last week. Defoe was miles offside. It was pretty even until then and the 3-0 scoreline was flattering to Spurs. Still, it doesn't change the fact that Wigan haven't won a game in 6. I back Birmingham. Its even money at
Bolton (2) Draw (3.4) Wolverhampton (4.3)
Only one point seperates these sides. Bolton have had a a bad time since Owen Coyle came to manage. They have played 8 and the record reads 1-2-5. Some tough fixtures in there but the overall lack of goals is worrying. Wolves are a team that once in a while throw up a surprise. They played well against Chelsea and made Cech make some fine saves. Away from home though, they have struggled. I cannot pick a winner here. My bet will be under 2.5 goals. Neither side are scoring and the odds of 1.8 at bet365 seem high.
Burnley (2.2) Draw (3.4) Portsmouth (3.75)
Burnley need to rediscover that early home form if they are to avoid relegation. Laws hasn't had an easy time since taking over, lots of away games which they have all lost. Last home game they did managed to beat West Ham and before that it was a late goal that allowed Chelsea to take all 3 points. Portsmouth are certain to be relegated if they go in to administration this week. There's a strong case even without the 10 point deduction. Since beating Liverpool, on 19th December, Portsmouth haven't won a league game. I'm backing Burnley to win this. Odds are 2.2 at
Stoke (5.5) Draw (3.75) Arsenal (1.73)
Stoke don't mind playing Arsenal at home. Last season they won 2-1 and this season in the FA Cup, they won 3-1. Stoke knocked Man City out of the FA Cup this week too. Last league game, they snatched a late win despite being down to 10 men. Despite beating Liverpool and Sunderland in their last 2 league games I am not convinced that Arsenal are as strong a team as their league position suggests. They desperately need a striker. Looking at the odds, I can only go with a Stoke win. They played 120 minutes midweek but 5.5 at William Hill is a cracking price.

Tottenham (2) Draw (3.4) Everton (4.2)
This is a good opportunity for Spurs to cement that 4th place. I don't think they'll do it though. Spurs seem to bottle it every time they get close. They managed to lose to Wolves a couple of weeks ago and were fortunate to get that first goal against Wigan last weekend. Everton played in Europe this week with a strong squad. Unfortunately for them, they lost 3-0 and are out of the Europa League. That's disappointing considering they went in to the game off the back of beating Chelsea and Manchester United. Tough one to call this. I would have gone Everton if it wasn't for the midweek result. Instead, I will go for the draw its 3.4 at bet365.
Liverpool (1.4) Draw (4.8) Blackburn (10)
Liverpool made heavy work of their Europa Cup tie against Unirea. They conceded an early goal but eventually won 3-1. They are currently on a 5 win streak at home. Away its been a different matter but at Anfield they are performing. Blackburn have been poor away from home this season. Big Sam targets his winnable games very well and as a result generally win the winnable games. I can't see him putting this down as one though. Liverpool win for me. Its 1.4 at Boylesport
Sunderland (2.25) Draw (3.3) Fulham (3.6)
Sunderland seem to have gone in to free-fall since beating Arsenal way back in November. No win in the 13 games after that. A lot of draws in that run though, especially at home. Fulham have picked themselves up after a dreadful January. 3 wins and a draw so far in February. Plus they knocked Shakhtar out of the Europa League, its been an excellent month for Fulham. They do have problems winning away from home though. Its got to be the draw for me. Sunderland don't seem to win whereas Fulham don't seem to win away from home. Odds are 3.3 at William Hill.
