Premier League Low Risk Accumulator 02/02/13

Everton v Aston Villa: Everton

Fulham v Manchester United: Manchester United

Manchester City v Liverpool: Manchester City

3/1

A midweek draw to QPR is exactly what the doctor didn’t order for Roberto Mancini.  His comparisons of Balotelli to Messi seem to have served as a sales pitch for Milan – and he needs to reasons to be able to lavish praise on some of his other players now the limelight is available for others that have been equally deserving of it this season. 

          Tuesday’s stalemate against QPR has dented Manchester City’s title chances – allowing one or two liverspotted Scottish fingers to grip the handles of the league trophy.  If Manchester City fail to take three points from Liverpool this weekend they may as well walk the thing round to Old Trafford at full time.

          Manchester United were comfortable victors against Fulham in the FA Cup last weekend – and Fulham won’t be looking forward to facing such an in-form side as United at this stage in the season.  Expect a Manchester United win – but Fulham could well give them more of an argument than they were able to last week, with a change of line-up expected.

          Everton, albeit now stretched, have been one of the successes of the season and their performances and league position offers a striking contrast to Aston Villa.  Aston Villa aren’t just starting relegation in the face now – they’re kissing it with tongues.  Bets are already being placed on them being relegated to League One next season – at 33/1.

           Expect Everton to take advantage of the opportunity to continue to work towards Champions League qualification.
