Re: 19-20th April English Premiership

Saturdays games

Arsenal v Reading
As I mentioned above no bet on the Arsenal game even though I can't see them getting beat but those odds don't interest me as they have slipped up far to many times this season in games that they should have walked never mind a poor team like Reading who will be fighting for their lives.

Reading would probably settle for a draw as they look to have the easiest run in of all the troubled sides down the bottom of the Prem but trying to play for one against a footballing side like Arsenal would be suicidal so they should be looking to score hence the reason I can see a few goals in this one , overs may be the way to go here.

+2.5 goals

Fulham v Liverpool
Make or break time these last few games for Fulham and they couldent have picked a better time to play Liverpool really now they have 4th spot virtually sown up and playing Champs league semi midweek.

Benitez must be looking to rest his better players here and the way Fulham played last weekend I wouldent be surprised to see them get a result, maybe not the win but they are more than capable of nicking a draw.

And with Liverpool odds on away from home this could prove a decent lay.

Lay Liverpool

Middlesbrough v Bolton
My hearts saying Bolton here as there a local side and I wouldent like to see them go down and they should put up one hell of a fight here but all season they have struggled on the rd and I can't see Boro just laying down and dying here as there one of those sides like Man City that just produce winning results spuriously and out of the blue.

Davies being out for Bolton is a big blow as since Anelka left they don't have to many attacking options and his departure also seems to have took Diouf off the boil who was looking impresssive until then.

I'd like to see Bolton do it but I have a feeling Boro are just to strong up front , even more so now Alves is finding his premiership feet.
close game but I see Boro nicking this by the odd goal.

Middlesbrough Win

West Ham v Derby
I know Derby are bad but anybody taking West Ham at those odds must want their heads testing as they packed up and went on Holiday weeks ago probably to avoid getting any more Injuries as they seem racked more than ever by them this season.

On paper mind they still look hell of a lot stronger than Derby but with nothing to play for this could well turn into an exhibition match with goals a plenty which could be the way to go here.

+2.5 goals

Wigan v Tottenham
Another local side who are in the shite but i wish all the best once more, I have more faith in Wigan mind as they are probably the form side of those down there in the bottom six and there crappy pitch could be the saving of them this season as opposing teams do seem to struggle on it.

It won't do a good footballing side like Spurs any favours either and again with nothing to play for I can't see them rolling their sleeves up and getting stuck in like Wigan will, long ball it may be but with players like Heskey to aim at it could make all the difference here.

Scharner and Valencia are also looking top notch this last few months and in what should be a blisteringly cold and wet day tomorrow up here i expect Wigan to do the business.

Wigan win.

Blackburn v Man Utd
I would have said it may be a good time to catch United on the hop with the Champs League semis coming up but there squad is just to strong for that, no new Injury problems to worry about and it looks like Vidic could also return for this one.

I should imagine Fergie will be putting out a fairly strong squad to gain an advantage then maybe rest players later on once the game is in the bag, Blackburn are no mugs mind but in recent yrs they have got nothing against United and I don't expect them to do so tomorrow either.

United win either 0-1 or 0-2
