Last week Liverpool’s 4th goal meant we missed out on a 350-1 correct score treble (but we go for it again this week!). We did get a nice 10-1 double on the Catalan derby and the Milan – Juve clashes being draws, as well as the 5-1 on the 1-1 draw in Catalunia.

The heavyweights are, for the first time this season, filling the top 4 positions in the league, and this weekend they all face clubs struggling in the bottom half of the Premiership.

Man Utd v Derby – Jewell will looking for damage limitation from the off
Chelsea v Sunderland – The same goes for Keane….
Reading v Liverpool – The Scousers will have one eye on midweek, but they are good enough to win without too much trouble.
Boro’ v Arsenal – Wenger’s side should bounce back here, they have already qualified in the CL, and so won’t be resting players.

There are numerous bets that appeal with the straight win for all four teams advised at around 9-4 with most firms. Another two which tempt are the -1 handicap and the win with a clean sheet. The handicap accy pays a juicy 14-1 while the clean sheet accy pays 12-1 both @ Bet365.

In the quest for what is fast becoming a holy grail for this column, I have opted to go for the formidable Inter Milan to complete the treble amongst familiar pick Chelsea and United. Inters record in Serie A for the past 2 seasons is incredible and it’s no different this term, with 10 wins 4 draws and 0 losses. Torino are the visitors this weekend, they have yet to register a win on the road, and it’s unlikely to happen this weekend. Chelsea without Drogba didn’t win in the 3 games he missed this season, but they should have enough to get past The Makems. The United match is my main worry as they could easily put 6 or more past Derby, but just as easily miss a host of chances and only win 2-0 like they did against Fulham. I’m going for more goals though, as I don’t think Stephen Bywater and his defence are anywhere nearly as good as last Monday’s visitors.

United 3-0, 4-0, 5-0
Chelsea 1-0, 2-0, 3-0
Inter 1-0, 2-0, and 3-0

Minimum odds treble pays 234-1 @ Bet365 for Chelsea 2-0, United 3-0, Inter 2-0
Maximum odds treble pays 720-1 @ Bet365 for Chelsea 1-0, United 5-0, Inter 3-0

The Eredivisie has thrown up some tempting away fixtures and Bet 365 have thrown in a few nice prices imo.
