[Kegman]

I watched the WBA v Norwich game and wba were absolutely gash and if they play anywhere near that again then Sunderland will pick up the 3 points but i was looking for 6/4 but the bookies are tight sods.

Southampton have done pretty well off late and have beaten Man U, Liverpool, West Ham and drew with Arsenal. Leicester are beginning to panic imo. Early on they played attacking football for 90 mins - last couple of games they seem to be sitting back more. The international break might have helped but i think Southampton are worth a punt to upset the Leicester applecart on Sunday.

Liverpool v Spurs is a hard game to call. Spurs have been playing decent football so im edging towards them and with Dortmund sitting waiting on Liverpool on Thursday it might be enough for Liverpool not to play their full squad if anybody is not fully fit.

I'll go along with Sunderland Keggers but like you say those odds are just taking the piss, If the bookies want to temp people to bet they need to be slightly more generous.

As for Leicester I've had those thoughts for the last few weeks but they keep coming up trumps with their 1 nils and points in the bag.
They aren't the same team that was taking the league by storm a few months ago but so long as they keep their advantage in tack
they won't worry about that.
Ranieri is proving a right old Wileyfox (how apt is that) and I wouldn't be surprised to see another 1-0 to Leicester here tell the truth.

Going quickly through the rest I'd expect any team to beat Villa from now until the rest of the season but now they have departed ways with Garde, who know's what tomorrow might bring, whatever it brings it doesn't mean backing Chelsea @ near 2/1 on away from home , in fact I wouldn't back Chelsea at those odds before the change of manager never mind after.

Bournemouth v Manchester City.
On paper City all day long but who in their right mind would touch City currently with a bargepole, Pellers is looking to go out with a bang and soley concentrating on the CL, no chance I know but tell trying Pellegrini that.
CL starts up again this week so don't expect too much from City, a win would do nicely against the cherries because 4th spot is more of a reality than a CL win but it seems the CL this yr is the only thing on City's radar.
On current form I'd go draw and under 2.5 goals but with City you just never know, probably best to leave well alone.

Norwich V Newcastle
Huge game for both sides but impossible to predict.

Stoke City v Swansea City
Stoke are playing well enough to have a wee dabble on at over evens, Swansea won't frighten them because they have been struggling of late and were very lucky to get the points from a very piss poor Villa side last time out.
Stoke @ that price were one of the first on my shortlist.

West Ham v Crystal Palace
West Ham @ near evens is another on my shortlist, probably the form team at this moment in time in the Prem with everything to play for looking for a CL spot , I just can't see how Palace will trouble them.


Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United v Everton
Personally I'd leave well alone as both games could so easily go either way but saying that United always seem to have something over Everton , in the back of my mind I have United 2-1 victors but I'm not confident enough to back it up.

 

[ONEDUNME]

As has been said, some of this week's fixtures are bloody impossible to predict but that doesn't stop us from trying. Liverpool Spurs??? A team with all the pressure of title contenders against a team that can frustratingly beat anyone and then lose to a sack of shit the next week? How the fuck do you call that but I think this is just the type of game that Liverpool win.

Personally, I think that this is THE pivotal point in the Premiership. Leicester win this weekend and they win the league for me. A loss or draw and a win for Spurs and I think Spurs will win it as they go into next week knowing that a win could take them to the top of the table and heap a different kind of pressure onto Leicester.

Cardiff Derby - two teams that will find ways to win one week and lose the next regardless of the quality of the opposition. WTF? Derby won this fixture last year but that was the only time in the last 8 attempts. I wouldn't be at all surprised with the draw to be honest but I'm going with home advantage.

I would love to see Man United finish outside the top 5 again (top 6 preferably) so pure spite is the reason that I'll be backing them to bet Everton and the reason I'm on Norwich is that I've got rather a large (and rather a doomed) bet on Newcastle to stay up. I'm also on Leicester not to win the league so I'll have mixed emotions if they beat Leicester next week as it will help one bet but damage the other.

This is when the season gets exciting!
