We're up for an 8pm Friday night set-to between Everton (13 points from last 18 including convincing disposals of Chelsea, Arsenal and, most memorably, Man Utd) and Burnley, who under Sean Dyche's copyrighted brand of anti-football terrorism, have contrived to bag 10 points from their last 15 thus ensuring EPL football next season. I fancy the Toffees to continue their good form and expect Burnley, now safe, to provide nothing more than a third rate sideshow, like the unentertaining thugs they are. The home win nets you +£1.30 for every 80p.
I can't remember the last time Tottenham kicked off at any other time than 12.30pm and they're at it again on Saturday versus Eddie 'Baby Face' Howe's Bournemouth who haven't won a home fixture in five attempts. Spurs should have enough about them to capture the points and need to consolidate that 3rd placed spot, although having said that I believe I have predicted the draw in the Tourney (13/5)
There are only two 3pm kick-offs. West Ham are mild favourites to see off Southampton at the London Stadium following their impressive win at Spurs last Saturday while Saints have just done enough to stave off the drop and have been largely unimpressive this campaign.
A team that has impressed us all is Wolves (currently 7th) and they entertain a Fulham side that splashed out like mad last summer and have precisely nothing to show for it. Not surprisingly Wolves are 1/2 for the win and I for one am on them to do the bizzo.
The 5.30pm event is quite an important one - if you're Cardiff, that is - which should go some way to determining for sure just who joins Huddy and Fulham in the drop. Neil Warnock's boys face Hodgson's Palace lads in what could be a feisty affair as Cardiff clamour for the light at the end of a very long tunnel. Let's face it, they've had it. And to think it was only two weeks ago that Warnock was beaming all over our screens following the nothing-one win at Brighton. He was a-jumpin' and a-humpin' all over the place and appeared genuinely convinced that his side was going to stay up purely off the effects of that win at the Amex.
But wait, there's more Saturday action at 7.45pm and it's not action you will want to miss out on. Liverpool, fresh from a 3-0 drubbing (if in score only) at Barcelona, must win at Newcastle. It's as simple as that for Liverpool. I need say no more.
The top 4 saga continues on Sunday with Chelsea hosting Watford at 2pm. Chelsea sit in 4th, two points behind Spurs and ahead of Arsenal by two and United by three.
And United play in the other 2pm set-to at Huddersfield. Huddy may have lost 28 league games and have a -54 GD but the 3/10 on offer for the Man U win is quite laughable. Seriously, would you stake 10 sovs to win +3 where Man U was concerned?
Arsenal have been poor of late and they'll want to improve versus a Brighton side surely all but safe from relegation at the expense of Cardiff. Not that the Bluebirds deserve EPL status. This 2nd half of the season everything about them has been dire and woeful, everything from their passing to their potting.
On Monday Man City host Leicester at 8pm. You'll get around 1/8 for City but there's loads of us hoping for an unexpected turn of events here. The draw at 15/2? The Foxes win at 18s? Come on, you east Midland brahs, ye were EPL champions three years ago. Show us some of that old 2015/16 class and stick it to Gladioli and his wooly hooded cardigan.
