Liverpool’s season continue to lurch from drama to crisis and their 2-1 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday was their sixth Premier League defeat of the season. They travel to Portsmouth this weekend who have shown more resilient signs under coach Avram Grant. Pompey have some appeal at 9/2.

An unexpected win at the Emirates announced Hull City to the Premier League in 2008. Much has happened since that match, however, with Arsenal looking like genuine title challengers and Hull embroiled in a battle for Premier League survival.

Football Tips

Stoke City continue to confound critics by sitting in a comfortable mid-table position although their brand of no-nonsense, direct football doesn’t appeal to everyone. They face Wigan Athletic on Saturday, a team whose form is about as erratic as Tiger Woods’ driving. Stoke’s home form is pretty solid and so they should win this one comfortably at 21/20.

Rumours that Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has asked Gary Pallister and Ronnie Johnsen to come out of retirement in order that he can field the requisite number of centre halves against Aston Villa on Saturday are unconfirmed. United continue to run up some impressive scorelines without actually playing particularly well whilst Villa have manoeuvred themselves into fifth spot with some excellent performances. This could be a tricky match for United and Villa have some appeal at 13/2. (more…)

Two of the three sides that many predicted would be playing Championship football next season meet at Fratton Park on Saturday lunchtime. The main surprise here is that Burnley look by far the team most likely to retain their top flight status although with their away form being pretty dire this could be a vital win for Portsmouth at 17/20.

Man City can’t seem to buy a win at the moment and after an astonishing seven consecutive Premier League draws it gets no easier on Saturday as Chelsea are the visitors. Considering the ruthless way they dispatched Arsenal on Sunday Chelsea should, once again, be good enough here. (more…)
