20 February 2010
Everton (5) Draw (3.6) Manchester United (1.83)
These two teams are top of the current form table. Everton beat Sporting 2-1 midweek. It was unlucky for Everton as they were winning 2-0 but conceded a late penalty. In the league, the 1-0 defeat at Anfield was their only defeat in 11. Man U are top of the current form table. They had a bizarre game in midweek against AC Milan. They didn't play well and could have been 4 or 5 down at half time. They managed to win 3-2 in the end. They've had a tough couple of fixtures. Last week, they had to play most of the game against Villa with 10 men. Looking at the odds, I have to go with the home win. Everton beat Chelsea last game. 5.0 is too big a price at Ladbrokes for the home win.
Arsenal (1.22) Draw (6) Sunderland (17)
Arsenal lost away to Porto 2-1. A couple of stupid goals let them down. Arsenal have shown that they can beat the cannon fodder of the Premier League but against the top teams, they struggle. On current form, I put Sunderland in the cannon fodder category. Arsenal should win this. Usually I would be looking at the win to nil market here, its 2.0 at Skybet but if that Fabianski is playing there is no chance. Looks like Almunia will be back though, even so, I will stay away and just back Arsenal at 1.22.
West Ham (1.83) Draw (3.6) Hull (5)
Great result for West Ham last game, against an in form Birmingham. Carlton Cole showed his worth by getting a goal. Still, West Ham are level on points with Hull. There are some signs that Hull are getting it together. A draw against Chelsea and a win against Man City show that they can take points from the best. I am not sure that West Ham should be odds on against anyone in the Premier League. Maybe at evens or odds against I would be tempted. Value looks like to be on the draw here. The reverse fixture ended 3-3. Its 3.6 at bet365.
Wolverhampton (12) Draw (5.5) Chelsea (1.36)
Wolves beat Spurs last game. Who'd have thought they'd do the double over Spurs this season. I heard Spurs played really poorly rather than Wolves being that good though. Chelsea lost to Everton last game. They have struggled on their travels this season, 6-3-4 isn't the away form we are used to. Terry should be back for this game. The odds suggest Chelsea should walk this game. I am not as convinced. They should win but 1.36 is no price for me. Since they beat Arsenal in November, they have played 6 away, lost 2, drawn 3 and won 1. The one win was against Burnley and that was a late goal. No bet for me.
Portsmouth (2.5) Draw (3.4) Stoke (3.25)
Bad times for Portsmouth. I hear they are looking at selling players outside the transfer window to stay afloat. Last game, they scored a late goal to get a point from Sunderland. Stoke were really unlucky not to beat Man City midweek. They had to play the last half hour with 10 men and had a perfectly good stoppage time goal disallowed. Stoke are unbeaten in 6 now. This is one of those games, that you look at and think 1-1 draw. The draw is 3.4 at bluesquare.

Blackburn (2) Draw (3.4) Bolton (4.3)
Blackburn seem to have rediscovered their home form, winning 3 on the bounce. They've been in Dubai this week in their training camp. This contrasts with the midweek fixture that Bolton had at Wigan, where they played out a dull 0-0. Bolton are in the relegation zone. If this wasn't a local derby, I am sure that Blackburn would not be even money. Even factoring in the local derby, I still think 2.0 is a good price for the Blackburn win at bluesquare. Its odds on everywhere else.
Aston Villa (1.4) Draw (4.8) Burnley (10)
Villa were disappointing at Palace last week to say the least. O'Neil put out a strong team and they were lucky to get a replay. Villa's form has dipped recently with just 1 win in 7 and scoring just 3 goals. Burnley don't do away games. Their form reads 0-1-12. Just 1 point away from home this season! Villa should win this. 1.4 isn't a price to get excited about though. I do like the look of under 2.5 goals at 2.05 at bet365. Villa haven't been scoring many so 1-0, 2-0 are quite likely scores and the unders covers, 0-0 and 1-1.
Fulham (2.15) Draw (3.3) Birmingham (3.75)
Fulham beat Shakhtar 2-1 in the Europa League. They seem to have got over their problem of not being able to win after a European night, drawing 3 and winning 2 after European fixtures. Fulham's recent form looks better than it is. They've basically played the bottom 3 clubs and come away with 2 wins and a draw. Birmingham were extremely fortunate to beat Derby in the cup. The loss to West Ham was disappointing and could be the end of their excellent run. I am thinking 1X here. The draw pays more so I'll go with that. Its 3.3 at bet365.
Manchester City (2.5) Draw (3.3) Liverpool (3)
This game is the battle for 4th place. Liverpool can leapfrog Man City with a win here. City seem to have stumbled a bit recently. They have been away performances though. Their home form is still 9-3-0. Something isn't quite right about City when Tevez and Bellamy aren't playing. They were lucky to get a point from Stoke. Liverpool won their European game against Unirea 1-0. They've seem to have turned the corner. They lost a scrappy affair with Arsenal but beat an in form Everton side with 10 men. I think I will go for a City win if Bellamy and Tevez are playing else the draw.
Wigan (3.8) Draw (3.5) Tottenham (2.05)
I remember the reverse fixture well, I backed Wigan and Spurs won 9-1. I am no Wigan betting fan. They are one of the most unpredictable teams around. Three draws on the bounce now. I hear the pitch has come under scrutiny now the rugby has started again. A bad pitch will favour the home side. Spurs aren't playing too well away from home. Last game, they drew at Bolton in the cup and last league game, they lost 1-0 to Wolves. I am not going to be backing Spurs on their current form. I cannot back Wigan either so that leaves the draw. Its 3.5 at bet365. .
