Premier League

The tense rivalries at both ends of the Premier League recommence this weekend with vital battles raging for the title, Champions League places and to avoid relegation.

Liverpool’s unexpected defeat to Wigan last Monday means that the fourth Champions League spot really is up for grabs. Tottenham are one of a handful of teams with realistic European ambitions and they can continue their push for fourth spot with a home win against Blackburn Rovers in front of the TV cameras on Saturday.

FA Cup

The FA Cup reaches the quarter final stage this weekend with Chelsea the firm 11/10 favourites to retain the trophy they won at Wembley in May.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side have not been on the best form in recent weeks, and host a Stoke side who were unbeaten in 2010 before Arsenal’s late show at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday. Tony Pulis’ team were my 40/1 outside tip for the Cup before the third round, and even though Chelsea might not be firing on all cylinders, their home record is terrific and I can’t see the Potters winning this one.

Carling Cup Final

The first major domestic silverware of the season will be decided this Sunday as Aston Villa take on Manchester United in the Carling Cup Final at Wembley.

United have shown signs of taking this tournament more seriously in recent years with two of their three League Cup wins coming in the last four years. The reigning champions have played a much stronger side in the Carling Cup in the last couple of years and haven’t lost a fixture in the tournament since September 2008. (more…)

After a break for FA Cup and European fixtures, the domestic programme resumes this weekend as Everton take on Manchester United. United have a good recent record against the Toffees and can be backed at 5/6.
Another side on a great run in 2010 are Stoke City who remain unbeaten this year. I predicted they would avoid defeat at Manchester City last weekend in the FA Cup and they look great value at 23/10 to beat a doomed Portsmouth side at Fratton Park.

Aston Villa remain in the Champions League qualification hunt and should be too good for Burnley on Sunday. Spurs can beat Wigan at evens and Manchester City can take a giant step towards realising their own European ambitions by beating Liverpool at 6/4. (more…)

Football Betting – Weekly Tips and Preview

Premier League

Two teams who were in European action in midweek open this Saturday’s Premier League programme. Everton should really have put Sporting Lisbon to the sword (despite a 2-1 win) whilst Manchester United recovered from a shaky first half to record a memorable 3-2 win against AC Milan in the San Siro.
David Moyes’ side are on a good run of form with an away draw against Arsenal and home wins over both Chelsea and Manchester City in 2010. However, United seemed to have started their habitual spring run of form and can be backed at 5/6. (more…)
