Odds Skybet

First thoughts are that werent MK Dons missing a load of players yesterday or have I made that up? If right then that could neutralise the Burnley side & make 10/11 decent? Villa will take it seriously as its the only real trophy available to us but is 4/5 value? I'd certainly be surprised to see us lose @ home to Bolton. Leeds/Manue? Fuck knows. Fergie wont like this I dont think, & maybe theres value in Leeds....in fact there has to be.
Forest @ home to Newcastle? I can see that happening, but is 7/4 enough?
Stoke & Spurs both have history of resting players in this so team news important before betting, if at all.
Crystal Palace could be argued for as Middlesboro will be looking at promotion whereas Palace could relax in this competition, wouldnt rule it out.
Think Aldershot look a decent shout, but others will know better than me.
If it was Liverpool under anyone than Kenny, & they hadnt got thumped today, I'd say Brighton were worth a look, but not now.
Cardiff must be worth a shout.
Dont fancy anything in the Man City game, nor Chelsea nor Arsenal.
Southampton might have other things on their mind with a good start, team news crucial but Preston worth a look?
Everton too short, not got the players. be interesting to see if Hodgson rests any but I think Albion worth a shout here.

Ones I'm looking at hardest: Forst, Palace, Cardiff, WBA

Squaddies & horror writers on the piss

I wouldnt think Dalglish will give many players the night off after yesterday

Agreed Swoop'...I expect to see Gerrard at some point in this match too

...having said that we could still lose this, odds are no value that's for sure

Be a tough place to go for sure, Brighton will have a right go at 'em. theres far better bets than that, surely?

I'm in two minds about the Liverpool game, I can't really see Dalglish playing his full strength squad as some sort of payback for two defeats, if anything i think he will rest them as that Champs league spot will be priority, If Gerrards fit then he will obviously figure at some point but i won't expect to see him pulling up trees at this point.
Then we have Brighton who suffered their first defeat at the weekend, did they maybe have one eye on this game and took their foot off the gas?
liverpools team news will be crucial b4 placing any bet on this game, as will most of those fixtures containing Prem sides.

Worth noting, particularly if Brighton take that game to the brink, that they play on friday after only 2 days rest.
