EPL 10 Dec
Bolton vs Villa
Bolton has only Pederson out with a Achilles problem. While Villa is missing Berger, Phillips, Laursen and Delany. Bolton should have no problem winning tonight by at least an odd goal and I'd say, go for the Bolton win. The odds of 1.65 is not too bad... Probably a H-H will be good bet too...
Charlton vs Sunderland
No doubt Charlton is suffering one of their worst runs with 5 consecutive Premiership defeats, Sunderland is struggling to find form of their own too. Although Charlton is the favourite to win on paper, this is still a tough one to call. Sunderland managed to score 2 superb goals against Spurs last week. And with both teams in desperate need to find form, there's no lack of motivation. However, looking at the injury list, the 2 teams are at the different end of the table. Charlton is injury-free coming into this match with the expected return of keeper Kiely, while Sunderland is crippled with injuries to 8 senior players..
Ok, in my mind, Charlton should win this one. But, the odds of 1.45 really dun justify the risks involved. So, why not bet a 10 or 20 on Sunderland to win, odds at 5.90 is good! And pray that they continue their magic last week of scoring spectacular goals, which I think Charlton would have no answers for.
WBA vs Man City
Man City is on fire after the 5-2 away drubbing of Charlton last week. The strikers are on fire. WBA is missing Kanu in attack, but Earnshaw should be more than capable a replacement. However, I dun see City losing this one. And a City win has a odds of 1.87 currently. Not too bad a deal, so go for it.

EPL 3 Dec
Liverpool vs Wigan
Liverpool are on a high after winning 5 consecutive games in the Premiership to claim 4th spot. Wigan on the other hand, is through their pile-up of facing big teams back-to-back. Having lost to Arsenal and Spurs by the odd goal in the last 2 EPL games, they showed resilience to oust Newcastle out of the League Cup in midweek. This should be one for Liverpool to take. But, on a betting sense, the odds of Pool winning is just 1.47.. I think it's too much a risk at such a odds to take when facing a resilient opposition in Wigan, who worked their socks off from the first whistle on. I'd suggest to go for a little flutter on H-D.. The odds of 15.00 is very tempting..
Spurs vs Sunderland
Sunderland is rooted to the bottom of the Premiership after losing 1-0 and 2-0 to Birmingham and Liverpool respectively. They also have to deal with a injury crisis as compared to Spurs' injury-free squad.. I'd say, whack your fortune on a Spurs win. But the odds for Spurs win is quite pathetic.. Other wise, bet a considerable amount on Spurs -1.5 goals. The starting odds was 1.95 but had dropped to 1.87 in the past 12 hours.. I see the odds dropping further for this one. Try your luck on H-H if you want extra excitement.
Man U vs Pompey
Man U's injury problems are set to be over with the expected return of Giggs to action, though I won't expect the veteran winger to play the entire game, due to a lack of match fitness, and also with an eye on the Champs League do-or-die mission against Benfica on Thursday morning. Pompey is finding it hard to stop losing at the moment, a stark contrast from Utd's resurgent fortunes of late.. Rooney and Ruud were rested in midweek along with Smith and Scholes.. Expect Man U to win this one in order to keep tabs on Chelsea. -1.5goals is a good prospect, but the measly odds of 1.67, coupled with Fergie's concern over Benfica match in 4 days, has made me have some reservations about it. But they should still win comfortably against a lacklustre Pompey. Just remember not to bet the house on it.
