Wolves v Arsenal Arsenal look like the best side in Europe when on their game, which at home, they have been all season. However they have been sloppy on the road this season, guilty of overplaying and taking their foot of the pedal. The recent games at AZ Alkmarr...Read More

Arsenal v Portsmouth Arsenal have started extremely well, and have played great football in their two games so far.  Portsmouth on the other hand have sold their best players, have a drawn out saga off the field affecting the players, and have yet to score a goal.  Ars...Read More

Chelsea v Everton As much as we all want an entertaining game to finish the season off in style, I don't think we'll get one here. I expect this to play out in a similar fashion the two league games did, which were both goalless. Playing the under 2.5 market is p...Read More

Valencia v Real Madrid Ramos's side will still be licking their wounds going into this weekends fixture in the Mestailla after last weekends mauling. It now would require a 'Devon Loch' from Barcelona for Madrid to win La Liga, so its pride that's most at stake now, ...Read More

Portsmouth v West Brom   West Brom had their final chance last week at home to Stoke...and blew it. Once again the defending from the centre halves was abysmal, and it's this crippling weakness that has cost them their place in the premiership.   Pompey have p...Read More

Arsenal v Man City   Since City beat Arsenal 3-0 back in November, the Gunners are 16 games unbeaten. They have had a steady stream of key players returning, with Fabregas, Walcott and Adebayor all returning to the squad this weekend. Mark Hughes still can't find the...Read More

England v Ukraine   A much sterner test than Saturday's "we have to play to pay for wembley" game. Ukraine arrive having conceded just the one goal in their 3 games and are sure to shut up shop from the off.  Capello has instilled new belief in fans and players a lik...Read More

Fulham v Man United It's very rare that United have bad results on the bounce and in facing a Fulham side they comprehensively beat in the cup recently, it does not look likely. They know another slip up so soon, will only lead to further encourage the chasing pack and ...Read More

Coventry v Chelsea New boss syndrome has certainly worked its magic since Guus Hiddink took over in February. Three weeks in, they are 4 wins out of 4 (5 if you count the Watford game) and have conceded just the one goal. They may not be playing at their best, but they ...Read More

Man United v Tottenham Most people are thinking this will be a walkover for United due to the two sides contrasting league form, but i believe it will be a lot closer than they think. Tottenham enter the game minus their new spine of Cudicini, Palacios and Keane, while...Read More

Not a bad 'Super Sunday' this weekend on paper, though i believe the spectacle we would like to see in both matches may fail to materialise. Newcastle v Sunderland First up is the Tyne Wear Derby at St James Park, Newcastle have been woeful of late and look to have ret...Read More

Bolton v Everton Buoyed by their result on Saturday, I expect Moyes's men to follow it up with a win at the Reebok. Everton's form on the road has been good this season with a 2-1-1 record, and they looked tighter at the back at the weekend, while they are boosted by the...Read More

United v Liverpool I expect this will be a low scoring affair, with a leaning towards a home win. Liverpool have won 7 on the bounce since being dumped out of the cup by Barnsley, while United have won 8 from the last 10. The two sides have conceded the least goals in ...Read More

We're again focusing on the bizarre goings on in Division 2 this weekend, as the fixtures have fell nicely again to suggest there will at least be 4 or 5 away wins at nice prices. Also, the top 5 are all on their travels which is again favourable to us. The teams we're ba...Read More

The Big Three        Time for another shot at the big 3 winning 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0 again. Perm them in trebles. Arsenal play Newcastle again, and though Newcastle held them in the first half on Saturday, ultimately the Gunners had too much class and movement. Adebayor...Read More
