EPL 5-7 Nov

Arsenal vs Sunderland
Go for Arsenal win. The Gunners look good for a home win. Sunderland has got 11 of their squad injured. That's almost or more than half of the squad. I'd say, Gunners to win by more than 2. But the odds offered by S pool is a little pathetic at 1.52.. Might want to try D-H on the HT/FT ticket as the Gunners have been winning matches late into the game recently. However, I still think it'll be H-H, but yet again, the odds are pathetic. So try ur luck on D-H for a chance on a better return. Best Bet: Home win, Arsenal -1.5goals, H-H.

Newcastle vs Birmingham
Newcastle looks to be on some sort of a revival, especially with the return of Owen. Kieron Dyer's injury should not cause too much worry for the home team against a struggling Birmingham. Newcastle looks quite set to win this one. Pick up the 1/2 goal slip and mark "Home" if you care for a little flutter. The odds of 2.30 justify the 50-50 chance of Newcastle beating Birmingham by at least 2 goals.

West Ham vs West Brom
WBA is very inconsistent this season. Despite beating Gunners 2-1 about a month ago, they have failed to impress against other teams. West Ham on the other hand, have been on a good run relatively. I can't see West Brom coming away with 3 points. A draw is probably the best the Baggies can manage. Still, I expect West Ham to win by the odd goal. Try 1 goal on the total goal slip if there is extra cash to spend.

Portsmouth vs Wigan
Wigan are on a high and I expect them to try and take full advantage of the fact that Pompey will be the last lower teams they play before meeting the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea in successive weeks. This will be an extra incentive. Their points tally now means they probably won't be relegated even if they were to hit on a long bad run from now on. But expect Wigan to triumph against a dismal Pompey. Try D-A or Wigan win 1-0 for extra excitement while watching. =p

Man U vs Chelsea
Tough call to make. Man Utd in crisis against a lacklustre Chelsea of late. It's really hard to say which team will quickly bounce back from their recent setbacks. it's really disappointing that a potential match of the season has degenerated into one whereby both teams are playing to find their forms again. Of course, Utd being the main culprit. Stay out of this match and buy some chips instead. If you really must bet on it, bet on draw. Though Chelsea might still snatch a win against a mediocre Utd side of late.
