30/1

Everton look likely to finish outside of the top four now.  The FA Cup seems to be the most likely source of celebration for David Moyes and the strong display in their last domestic home fixture makes us confident they'll be able to make progress at the expense of Wigan.
          West Brom did well to concede only the one against Chelsea in their away fixture last weekend, especially when you consider the notable absense of Romelu Lukaku.  We think that this fixture, against a team who have a similar playing style - albeit better league position - could result in a stalemate.
          Newcastle's improved home form has edged us towards siding with them.  They were clearly the more resilient side against Chelsea last month and having not lost at home since we fancy them to take all three points when Stoke come to visit.  Since losing their home records the Potter's wheels seem to have fallen off - they've only managed to win two of their last twelve fixtures.
          Liverpool have been notoriously wobbly at home this season - in spite of the brilliance of Suarez.  His display last week, bagging three in the win over Wigan, has helped his cause to be considered the player of the season but it doesn't guarantee the team a home win this weekend, especially considering the form Spurs are in.  We think this one will be a tight contest and we're narrowly favouring a stalemate.

Norwich v Everton: Verdict Draw

Manchester City v Chelsea: Verdict: Chelsea

West Ham v Tottenham: Verdict – Tottenham

QPR v Manchester United: Verdict – Manchester United

Arsenal v Aston Villa: Verdict: Arsenal

Aston Villa have done well to put some distance between themselves and the very bottom of the table and their survival seems somewhat less unlikely following their betting of West Ham.  However their season may be shaping now we still don’t see them being able to return from Arsenal with any point to add to their recent tally and although we don’t think this visit will reflect their trip to London over Christmas, where they were well and truly bettered by Chelsea, we do think Arsenal will win.

          Manchester United have very little reason to throw everything and the kitchen sink at QPR but we still think they’re a good backing regardless.  QPR’s trip to Wales gave their fans something else to worry about – Julio Cesar is capable of making mistakes.  Having been so heavily defeated by Swansea, we think that a result like Southampton’s against City is simply out of the question.

          Reading and Wigan face each other in one of the most decisive games of the weekend.  Both of the teams are currently found biting their nails away in the relegation zone and the loser, should there be one, will see the Championship next season as their realistic home.  Both teams have players that are capable of finding the net and both have shown the tenacity to mount comebacks – in spite of their league positions.  We expect goals for both sides

          Norwich have been involved in three 0-0 fixtures since the New Year and Everton have been involved in two.  Carrow Road has hosted some upsets this season, but also some painfully boring games of dreadful football.  Everton have been stretched this season and have moved mountains to be in the position they are, but it’s about now we think they’ll begin to drop points.  A stalemate could well be the outcome in this fixture.

          Chelsea have been poor of late by their standards, but perhaps behind closed doors they never really believed the league title was an opportunity.  Second place is now a very realistic prospect for Chelsea and should they better Man City, with their fantastic home record, the side will see a way to end their season with some shred of dignity intact.  Three points for City will spell third place for Chelsea, at best.  Chelsea have much more to play for and this game could be a surprise for Roberto Mancini’s side.

 Luton v Millwall: Both teams to Score

Oldham v Everton: Both teams to Score

Arsenal v Blackburn: Arsenal

Chelsea v Brentford: Over 3.5 Goals

Man City v Leeds: Double Result Man City

87/10

Arsenal are at home to Blackburn – a team looking likely to be facing another season in the Championship.           

          Although a cup run might not be in Blackburn’s favour – they’re eyeing the play-off positions, albeit optimistically – they’ll want to show they’ve still got the capability to play against top opposition.  Regardless of their intent, we think Arsenal will be able to progress to the next round and you can expect a home win.

          In the three games that Luton have had since their upsetting of Norwich they’ve lost twice and have only managed to score once.  They seem unlikely winners in their match against Millwall but we think they’re a good option to score, at the very least, regardless of the current poor spell.  Millwall, since their FA Cup bettering of Aston Villa have failed to win a game in the Championship.  Luton have given top opposition firm tests in the FA Cup and definitely have a good chance to progress. This game will have a real sense of occasion, and we hope it’ll be graced by goals.

          Chelsea are unlikely to falter at home to Brentford and the FA Cup remains the strongest option for them if they’re to gain any silverware this season.  The lack of direction and urgency displayed by Chelsea in the last fixture should be a long and distant memory to the visitors by the end of the first half.  Chelsea were able to put four past Wigan and with the FA Cup having been Chelsea’s get out of jail free card so often in recent seasons we think a similar scoreline to last weekend’s is likely.

          Man City’s season promised so much and has delivered so very little thus far.  The FA Cup is their only chance to win a trophy now and we think that the team, left licking its wounds after losing to struggling Southampton, will treat this game with the immediacy they’ve lacked of late.  We’re enhancing our potential returns this week by backing Man City to be winning both halves against Leeds, who have had two disappointing outings since claiming their place in the fifth round by knocking Tottenham out of the competition.

          Everton are our pick for the game against Oldham.  Oldham may have knocked Liverpool out of the competition – but that’s unlikely to be of any advantage to them here; Everton will be more than keen to make an example of Oldham to invite comparisons.  In 24 of 30 games played by Everton this season, in all competitions, both teams have scored – that’s four games in five where both teams find the net!  We’re going to hope for the home side to give their fans something to cheer – a moment likely to serve on as consolation for the home fans at the final whistle.

We’re hoping that the upsets of the last FA Cup weekend will be a distant memory come the end of this one.

          Chelsea are unlikely to falter at home to Brentford and the FA Cup remains the strongest option for them if they’re to gain any silverware this season.  The lack of direction and urgency displayed by Chelsea in the last fixture should be a long and distant memory to the visitors by the end of the first half.

Tottenham v Newcastle BTTS

33/5

In the overwhelming majority of Newcastle’s games this season both teams have scored, which is why we think this game has goals in store for both sets of fans – an important game which both side, at this stage in the season, will want to win.  Should either side fall behind expect them to throw everything and the kitchen sink at the opposition.  Newcastle, likely to trail, showed their willing last weekend against Chelsea and we’re expecting the same mettle from them this weekend.

          The Manchester sides’ fierce rivalry should fuel wins for them this both weekend, so we favour both of them to take three points as the title race begins to heat up.  Should Manchester City fail to win away to Southampton, Manchester United will have almost certainly have won the Premier League this season.

          If any of these results seem to worry you - we think Chelsea, in spite of current form, are one of the safest backing of the weekend.  They face Wigan at home - feel free to add and substitute them to your backing as you wish.

Our high risk accumulator may look unfamiliar to some this week – as we’ve opted for a fivefold over our usual patent and we’ve also avoided looking for our favoured draws.

          We think February may begin with some unlikely winners, most notably at Carrow Road where Fulham face Norwich.

          Arsenal have avoided our attention this week as we think their trip to Sunderland is a potential upset, even though we favour them to win over Sunderland.

          Feel free to substitute Chelsea, who face Wigan at home, for Manchester City, if you think they’re more to your liking this weekend when they travel to Southampton.

           With this fivefold your money can be returned by William Hill if four of the five teams win with their Acca Insurance offer.
