Cottagers are now desperate to avoid the drop and will have to play great football to overcome Spurs away from home, but they have shown great spirit of late, and were correctly predicted by both of our resident tipsters to beat Norwich (with an exact 1-0 scoreline from Betmeister).
Black Cats are not in any form to threaten Jose Mourinho’s team at the moment. However, they do have some form – The last time these two met was in the Capital One Cup where Sunderland defeated the Blues 2-1. You have to go back to November 2010 when the Black Cats last won at Stamford Bridge. That was under Carlo Ancelotti and he saw Steve Bruce’s men put on a
life out of Norwich City. The Canaries will surely crumble against the
Reds’ magnificent strike force. Head to head, Liverpool have won 33 games against Norwich, lost 14 and drawn 14. The last time that the Canaries tasted success in this fixture was away at Anfield on 30th April 1994 – almost 20 years ago – and Liverpool will no doubt make it 10 in a row in the Premier League undefeated against them given their current form.
fourth. However, the Gunners always seem to do just that and Professor Wenger ends up having the last laugh (note Everton’s recent unexpected loss). Incidentally, Hull have beaten Arsenal just twice in the last 100 years (1915 and 2008) in which period they’ve met 12 times. Arsenal have won 9 of these games, with the other one drawn in 1930.
intriguing tie. Prior to their slip-up the Toffees needed to win every game to guarantee finishing fourth but now it’s advantage Arsenal. The Red Devils want the win to get into the Europa League next season – with the faintest of hopes of fourth for themselves. Who would have predicted that for the current Champions of England just 12 months ago? Everton beat United at Old Trafford in December in their last meeting and wins against them are becoming more common. Everton have only lost to United once in their last four meetings, winning two of them. David Moyes won’t be such a darling at Goodison if United win here.
Spurs and ended up fortunate to get a draw (remember Adebayor missed a penalty), it seems that they will need an even bigger head start to take any points in this one. City are very likely to rebound to keep their title hopes alive.
to be a regulation win – 3 points should be in the bag at the Emirates unless Big Sam can inspire the Irons to a first win against the Gunners since 7th April 2007. On that day, West Ham became the
Manchester City take on Southampton at the Etihad in the early kick off. The Saints are not going to be easily beaten by anyone but City’s home record speaks for itself. The Citizens to get over the line and maintain their title push. Another City goal-fest looks less likely here.
the middle of the table. With the Blues having fluffed their lines against Crystal Palace last week and surrendering top spot, this is a must win and you’d have to be very brave not to back them at home – a win by a comfortable margin is expected at Stamford Bridge.
