I PICKED five out of six in the English Premiership on Saturday and I'm hoping for a similar result today.
The correct tips included draws at Everton and Newcastle while Blackburn's defeat was the one I got wrong.
I'm looking at another draw in Sunday's showdown between Man City and Arsenal. City are protectings a 110 per cent home record but this could go against them if the Gunners produce the sort of display that blew away Chelsea 5-3 at the Bridge.
City look a bit short at a biggest 7-10 with bet365 and Hills while Arsenal are a biggest 5-1 at firms including Paddy Power. It's tough to oppose City on their home patch so a draw at 14-5 with Chandler is the call.
Mancini’s men have conceded in their last seven league games so look at both teams to score at 5-6 with Skybet.
Arsenal are over-reliants on Robin van Persie who has 15 goals in 15 games. He is 2-1 with boylesports to score at anytime.
Man United will leapfrog their neighbours for a few hours at least by beating QPR and are 1-2 to do so with the likes of Ladbrokes and William Hill.
I hate to keep saying it but after 1-0 wins at Swansea and Aston Villa this could be another.
That scoreline pays 6-1 with firms including William Hill while Wayne Rooney, who hit a double last weekend, is 10-3 at bet365 to break the deadlock.
Liverpool have been decent on the road, Fulham apart, and will be looking to notch their fifth away win at Aston Villa.
Alex McLeish's men were panned for the way they played in that 1-0 defeat to United but recovered well to win at Bolton.
However, they seem to struggle at home without Gabriel Agbonlahor and I'll be on Liverpool at 1-1 with Ladbrokes, Paddy Power and others.
The final game sees Spurs try to bounce back from last week's loss at Stoke by beating Sunderland. It's Martin O'Neill's first away game and a huge test after his side's late show against Blackburn last week.
Harry Redknapp rested most of his stars against Shamrock Rovers in midweek and I don't think even O'Neill can turn round Sunderland so quickly and get a result. Take Spurs at 2-5 with Paddy Power and William Hill among others.
The one game in the Championship sees local rivals Portsmouth and Southampton meet. It looks like a score draw as Saints try to avoid three away defeats on the bounce.
In the SPL, Celtic head to Perth looking for revenge after losing to St Johnstone at home earlier in the season.
And they could be getting them at a good time after Saints suffered back-to-back home defeats to Motherwell and Aberdeen.
Celtic looked impressive at Udinese and haven't conceded an SPL goal in the three games.
I'll be on them at a best 1-2 (various) while William Hill go 5-4 Celtic to win to nil.
Gary Hooper, on target in Italy, is 6-5 with William Hill to net his first goal against Saints combined with an away win. Hooper is 7-2 with Hills and Paddy Power to bag the opener.
Recommendations
Both to score at Man City
(5-6, Skybet)
Liverpool
Celtic to win to nil
(5-4, William Hill)
In December 2020 we sadly 
mr fixit……………..whats ur thots on the barca(1/3) cup final v santos…….cheers
Firstly, I think there were will be goals so instead if taking Barca at 1-3 go for over 2.5 goals and both teams to score. It should be a cracking game between two sides who play attacking football. Santos have some brilliant players such as Neymar, Ganso and Elano as well as several talented youngsters who could give the likes of Puyol some trouble. In the end I think Barca will win as long as Messi produces. I’m pretty sure they will be desperate to do it for David Villa who broke his leg against Al-Sadd.
cheers mr fixit…………..watchin the game just now and barca have 74% of possesion but still not scored!!!!
thanku, appreciated
john
MESSI……………….bang in!!! he has produced!!!!
Watched some of it and Messi was the difference. Neymar’s admitted they couldn’t live with Barca and that’s quite something when you consider how highly rated the current Santos side is. I was right about the overs but Neymar missed a snip for both teams to score.
Hi Paul,
Looking at your tips for today but just wanty raise a point haha.
I think Sunderland will draw today with spurs. O’Neill may not get a win but I definently think he can manage a draw.
Dave
David, hope you didn’t back the draw then
Nope I didnt. I actually went for a crazy bet today.
Liverpool 2-0
Man City 1-0
Celtic 3-0
One mor goal for Celtic and I would have been sitting on a couple a thousand haha, ah well you win some, lose some.
Dave
David, it’s a pity you put up the Spurs v Sunderland draw prediction instead of your correct-score double. As I know it’s harder to do the tips before the games are played.
