Odds Betfred

That has to be one of the hardest set of fixtures this year, some decent odds to be had mind if you're willing to take a chance.
United for example could be worth a shout at that price, I know Everton need to bounce back but United haven't been playing too bad lately and I reckon will run Everton close, I suppose it's all about whether United want Europa league football next year or do they try and do a Liverpool and just focus on the league for a season to get back to winning ways.

I'm being drawn once more to Villa too, I know I shouldn't be on their current form but after Southampton's defeat to Cardiff last weekend it's making me wonder if they are already getting ready for their summer break.
Another huge game for Villa; not that that matters because as they have been garbage lately but they can't really afford many more slip up's with only two out of their last 5 games being at home.

I'm also going with Arsenal, I wouldn't have touched it a couple of weeks ago but now Hull are in the FA cup final they may lose some focus like a lot of teams tend to do, I'd be more confident if Hull were statisically safe in the Prem but it's just one of those game where you get a hunch what the outcome will be.

Remy only on the bench for Newcastle, might be worth doing ht-ft scores hoping for Newcastle to improve 2nd half

8.0 draw / newc

Chelsea 1-2 Sunderland

Bottom team Sunderland have now won TEN games v top half teams this season yet just ONCE v bottom half teams

Said all along you'll stay up, it's Norwich, Fulham, Cardiff all the way

Does 13/2 look value for the draw in tonight's game (Chelsea v WBA) to anyone else? Just looking at WBA's record v the top teams, they are clearly capable of raising their game when playing them, as although they are yet to beat a top 6 team, they've only lost 2 and drawn the other 8...



They only lost the reverse fixture 2-3 and have scored in 9 of those 10 games. Their average goals against of 1.7 is not bad either considering the quality of teams they were playing.

Compare this to the v top 6 records of the other teams near the bottom...

West Ham (1-1-8)
Swansea (0-2-10)
Hull (1-1-9)
Villa (3-1-6)
WBA (0-8-2)
Norwich (1-2-7)
Cardiff (1-1-9)
Fulham (0-0-12)
Sunderland (3-1-8)

To lose just 2 of these games while their relegation rivals have all lost 6 or more is a good effort. City looked really poor v Sunderland last week and were lucky to get a point in the end. City have already lost to Villa, Cardiff and Sunderland as well as drawing v Norwich (although these games were away from home) and Sunderland showed last week (and in the cup final) if you get your tactics right they struggle.

Didn't see this earlier but I've backed 2-2 so I hope you're onto something

Yeah, I'm on the draw, away win and 2-2. Awful start for them but back in it now, really unlucky with the disallowed goal too.

Jesus, that was shocking defending - need a miracle now!

West Brom were piss poor, I'd like to have said that was due to City being so good but it wasn't, the game was as flat as a pancake.
It looked like the Baggies were just content to concede as few as possible, considering their current league position I would have expected them to at least give it a go for the last half hr or so.

I think Shaw is a very good player much as I did Baines when I first watched him at Wigan, I wouldn't go as far to say he's an International player yet but he has loads of potential and will be knocking on the door when Cole steps down along with funnily enough Baines.
Flannagan though is the one that has impressed me most this year at left back, he's still got a lot to learn but he's progressing so fast you'd think he was a seasoned vet rather than a young kid, at just 21 he looks a cracking prospect for the future.
