Re: English Prem 3rd & 4th Dec
Liverpool v Wigan
Well i know Wigan have impressed everyone so far and their reserves did the business stuffing Newcastle last night but i can't see through Liverpool here.
5 successive league wins without their opponents scoring isn't it?
All this with misfiring strikers who have to come good eventually don't they?
Wigan will put up a battle but i think Liverpool will have too much class for them in the end.
Maybe a handicap bet to consider with them in the coming days.
Blackburn v Everton
Really like Blackburn here.
Everton got a much needed win last week against a below par Newcastle side once again but they didn't impress me too much in fairness and a solid all round Blackburn outfit should do the business.
Blackburn are in great form...
11-26 Arsenal 3-0 Blackburn
11-19 Man.City 0-0 Blackburn
11-05 Blackburn 4-1 Charlton
10-29 Chelsea 4-2 Blackburn
10-22 Blackburn 2-0 Birmingham
10-15 Liverpool 1-0 Blackburn
10-01 Blackburn 2-0 West Brom
Have been picking up comfortable home wins against sides of similar quality at the minute.
Their defeats have been unlucky too. Chelsea game they made a right game of it going in 2-2 at the break before Chelsea's superior quality killed them off.
Thats 3-0 defeat to Arsenal flattered the Gunners a lot i felt and a draw minimum wouldve been the correct result as Blackburn created a good number of chances.
Momentum and confidence will be high after last nights superb comeback away to Charlton with Blackburn getting 3 goals in final 15 mins to win the game.
Bar a couple of 1-0 wins Everton have been poor on the road and went down 4-0 at WBA last time out so the evens for Blackburn for me looks too good to refuse.
Newcastle v Villa
Two truly awful sides at the minute.
If there is anything separating the two it is that Newcastle do have quality in their ranks and have shown glimpses of it in their last few games but in little spells.
You expect a massive performance here against Villa in front of their fans as Souness's days are getting shorter and shorter through each defeat.
Same could be said for Villa too i suppose.
Newcastle going for their 4th league home win in a row but the h2h is quite worrying actually with 1 win against Villa in their last 7 meetings between the two.
If i can get a bit higher than evens i will be on the home win though.
WBA v Fulham
I like backing Fulham away as i feel it suits their style of play compared with when they play at home.
Away they can play quick efficent attacking football and have done so this season and they have the players to do it well in Boa Morte, John, McBride and Malbranque
Middlesbro 3-2 Fulham
Wigan 1-0 Fulham
Charlton 1-1 Fulham
Tottenham 1-0 Fulham
Newcastle 1-1 Fulham
Doesn't look too pleasing on the eye there away results but their performances have merited them coming away with far more points.
Away to Newcastle it was Owen's first game and they completely dominated Newcastle and should've won by a good few and Newcastle were very fortunate to come away with a point.
Charlton game along the same way but not as one sided. Live on Sky and Fulham looked like scoring every attack they went on in the Charlton half.
Wigan game was their most unluckiest as Wigan scored a last minute winner with one of their only shots on target after Fulham again dominated the match but were unlucky with the Wigan keeper doing heroics in the goal.
Last time out v Boro they were 2-1 up with 15 mins left and went down 3-2 with one goal being a dodgy onside call by the linesman.
So they are putting in the performances and its only a matter of time before they get the 3 points imo and 2/1 is a very nice price on them too.
WBA are no mugs and will give a fight but its against the average EPL sides they seem to struggle against in the league whilst against the bigger sides they seem to raise their game.
Only the matches there that really interest me pricewise as the rest are too short for me too back imo.
I mean you can never trust backing a Spurs side at 1/3 even if it is against a very poor Sunderland side.
Best left alone.
