United v City

Obviously all the press has been for Munich in the build up to the match, with the red tops especially seemingly wanting even just one City ‘Fan’ to spoil the silence so they can castigate all of the travelling blues. Away from all that there is still a football match, and its a shame there are major suspensions for both sides with Evra, Rooney, Corluka and Elano missing the game, which will reduce the quality on show. City will line up 4-5-1 with new boy Benjani leading the line, and they will hope to keep in tight and hit United on the break. However City’s midfield has been over run of late, they are sorely missing Michael Johnson, and i feel this is where United will take command. Ronaldo should start up top with Tevez and its hard to oppose him to score in 90 minutes.

I expect the game to be tighter than many think, the Blues have drawn 4 of their last 6 at Old Trafford, but ultimately United’s pressure will tell.

Chelsea V Liverpool

These two sides have built up a modern day rivalry due to play each other an astonishing 16 times in the past 4 seasons, and Liverpool have lost the last 4 times they have visited SW3, including 2-0 in the Carling cup this season. Add to that Liverpool’s shocking away form this season, including losing the last 4, and Torres being injured it’s hard not to see another Chelsea win here.

Correct score 1-0 or 2-0 = 6-1 and 15-2 respectively @ Coral

HT Draw FT Chelsea = 4-1 @ Bet 365

Arsenal V Blackburn

Adebayor continues to go from strength to strength for the Gunners, what a player Wenger has turned him into. Blackburn arrive at the Emirates with defensive problems, with Samba out, and Nelsen and Oojier both major doubts, also out are midfield duo Pedersen and Dunn. With such a depleted side i can’t see anything other than a home win. Arsenal will possibly have to play Silva at centre half and Lehman will continue for the ill Almunia, but that should not disrupt the system.

Adebayor 1st goal = 7-2 @ Paddy Power
