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.
