some early thoughts on all the fixtures:

Liverpool v Chelsea: Cech might be back, and if he is it will make me think a bit longer about this one. Looks like value on the home side - Carvalho and Essien in the air against Crouch and even Kuyt looks a mis-match. Pool are pretty good at home. they are also shit against the top sides.

Aston Villa v Watford: Urr.. those odds for a side without a win in 11? Wasn't expecting that at all. But, I guess Watford are just that poor at the minute. If Sionko is back, I might look at the unders here.

Fulham v Spurs: Spurs give the illusion of value quite often. This is one I'd need to think about before forming any impression of the game - I can see just about any scoreline, but a bit more team news might define things a bit better. Both sides have been involved in some big scorelines lately, thoygh.

Boro - Bolton: Think Boro were without Boateng mid-week, can't remember if it was injury or suspension - but if he is out, I'll be on Bolton. Alternatively, I could see this ending 1-1. Might take a small position on the draw.

Newcastle - West Ham: looks like goals here. West Ham have been more attacking since Curbs came in - Quashie, Boa Morte, Benayoun, Zamora, possibly Tevez.. Odds on the visitors look big here.

Pompey - Charlton: Don't like the odds, but I can't make an argument against the home side.

Reading - SHeffield United: Don't think it will be easy for Reading. Either avoid this or look at a one goal reading win at anything above 3.5.

City - Blackburn: Blackburn look quite good going forward - Pedersen's form has picked up. City keep pulling out clean sheets. Tough game to read - first instinct is to look at the unders.

Wigan - Everton: Cahill - Arteta in the same side for the first time in a long time for Everton. If De Zeuuw and Camara are out, I'll be on the visitors. If not, think long and hard.

Arsenal - United: I'll be looking at the overs. There are a few logical reasons I can think of not to, but the home side have to go for it, the visitors are top class going forward - I'd be surprised if this doesn't produce goals.
