Chelsea v Man Utd Sun 5 Feb 16:00 live on Sky Sports
It was not too long ago this fixture would have been a title showdown but with Chelsea falling behind and in the middle of a rebuild at The Bridge they find themselves 12 points behind Utd in 4th place. A top 4 finish is a must this season for AVB and they were lucky to get a last minute draw away to Swansea midweek. The Blues spent the most money in the January transfer window and we could see new boy Gary Cahill make his first start. A lot of the focus on this game will be between John Terry & Rio Ferdinand to see if the 2 centre half’s shake hands before the game. If the media is to be believed, Anton Ferdinand & the rest of the QPR Team had all agreed to ignore John Terry’s hand in the FA Cup game last weekend prompting The FA to cancel the usual pre-match handshake. Man Utd will be buzzing in this game after old boy Darron Gibson did his former club a massive favour when Everton beat City on Tuesday. Utd should have

a few more faces back in the squad with injuries slowly subsiding for Sir Alex.
Extra Value:  Lucky Loser €50 cash draw on this game!

 

Liverpool v Tottenham Mon 6 Feb 20:00 live on Sky Sports
A massive game for both sides on Monday night, see Spurs go to Anfield in search of all 3 points. Harry Redknapp’s side are still in with a shout for the Premier League title and are only 5 points behind the 2 Manchester clubs before the games this weekend. After a comfortable 3-1 win over Wigan, the likes of  Bale & Modric are showing true class and no doubt some of the other clubs will be asking how much for them in the summer. Liverpool still need to address their home form with 7 league draws but still undefeated they are looking a bit better of late after 3 good performances on the spin. Bellamy is looking as good as we have ever seen him and if the Liverpool medical staff can keep his knees good he will be vital for The Red’s push for the Champions League. Liverpool had 2 players sent off at White Hart Lane earlier in the season so you could be getting some more Redcard Cashback Value if we see a repeat of this on Monday.
Verdict: Score draw of 2-2 @ 11/1

Man City v Fulham Sat 4 Feb 17:30 live on ESPN
Mancini will be expecting a positive response from his side after a poor show at Goodison Park midweek. They looked toothless on Tuesday for maybe the first time this season and never really troubled Everton’s goal much. Balotelli is still missing with his ban in place so the Jekyll and Hide character that is Dzeko will continue leading the line. With City’s perfect home record of 11 wins this season, can Fulham be the one to break that? With only 1 away win in 11 it will be a massive task for the Londoners. Fulham lost Zamora to QPR this week and replaced him with Pogrebnyak to freshen things up and hope for a late charge up the table to get into the top half.
Verdict: 3-0 home comfort for The Sky Blues @ 13/2.
