LAST WEEK’S SUMMARY
Week 34
Only four games left in the season, and as usual some odd results often turn up at this stage of the precedings. Maybe players are getting tired of a long season and maybe some of them are looking forward to some time off, whatever the reasons, strange stuff does turn up. Brighton absolutely demolished Chelsea and as bad as the Blues have been of late, I don’t think many people saw this coming. Their manager, Liam Rosenior, being shown the door: now that was a move a lot of people did see coming. Manchester City made hard work of beating already relegated Burnley, and the three points keep their pursuit of Arsenal on track. Spurs won their first game this year, but again it looked a lot harder than it should have. Unfortunately for them, not only did West Ham also win, in the dying seconds, but Tottenham got blasted with another couple of key injuries. At the end of the day, nothing has changed at the bottom just yet.

LEEDS |
BURNLEY |
 |
||||
| Odds -1 1/2 | O/U 2 1/2 | Odds +1 1/2 | |||||
| PREDICTIONS: I expect Leeds to not let up at this stage of the season, and even though Burnley are already relegated, Leeds will show no mercy. The Whites are not the most prolific goalscorers in the League, but if these odds stay the way they are right now, I would take Leeds -1 1/2, but I will say this, if they were 2 goal favorite, I would be a lot more hesitant with this bet. Leeds -1 1/2 | |||||||

NEWCASTLE |
BRIGHTON |
 |
||||
| Odds PICK | O/U 3 | Odds PICK | |||||
| PREDICTIONS: There was a time when Newcastle at home were a mountain to climb. Not this season. St Andrews belonged to the Magpies. Newcastle have nothing to play for and Brighton are clinging on to hopes of Europe next year. It’s hard to go against Newcastle at home, but up until this point they have not inspired much confidence. Brighton PICK. | |||||||

BRENTFORD |
WEST HAM |
 |
||||
| Odds -1/2 | O/U | Odds +1/2 | |||||
| PREDICTIONS: OK two ways to look at this: but they’re both the same in the end. Brentford were unlucky to lose to Manchester United last week, and West Ham were lucky to grab the winner at the end of the game. Brentford are by far the better team here and even if West Ham are fighting for survival, they are not going to find the Bees very accommodating. Brentford. -1/2 | |||||||

WOLVERHAMPTON |

 |
||||
| Odds Pick | O/U 2 1/2 | Odds Pick | |||||
| PREDICTIONS: Sunderland need to get the taste of their last game against Notts Forest out of their mouth. (5-0 in case you weren’t watching). Wolves fit that bill to a tee. Sunderland are going to take out their embarrassment on the hapless Wolves. Sunderland. PICK. | |||||||

ARSENAL |
FULHAM |
 |
||||
| Odds -1/2 | O/U 2 1/2 | Odds +1/2 | |||||
| PREDICTIONS: Arsenal had better not take this opponent lightly. Fulham deserve to be much higher in the table than their present position would suggest. They had some very controversial decisions go against them in the early part of the season, and if only for a few dubious decisions they could be a lot higher in the Table. I’ll take the Cottagers to keep it close. Fulham. +1/2. | |||||||

BOURNEMOUTH |
CRYSTAL PALACE |
 |
||||
| Odds -1 | O/U 3 | Odds +1 | |||||
| PREDICTIONS: I’m saying keep away from this one. Palace are crap, but Bournemouth should control this game from the outset. Yes, I see them winning but if they go a goal up, and they have control, I see them laying back. I think this is going to be a push therefore. No Bet. | |||||||

 |

| Odds PICK | O/U 3 | Odds PICK | |||||
| PREDICTIONS: In my book, Manchester United have no right to be where they are in the League. Even if they are at home, I see Liverpool taking all three points here. This game means a lot to the Reds, as it will probably take them above United in the Table. Liverpool. PICK. | |||||||

ASTON VILLA |
TOTTENHAM HOTSPER |
 |
||||
| Odds -1/2 | O/U 3 | Odds +1/2 | |||||
| PREDICTIONS: We all know how much Tottenham need this result. Villa have been a lot less than reliable at home this season…well they have been a lot less reliable everywhere they’ve played. Who knows with Spurs? They have lots of their first team players sidelined, and that’s not necessarily a minus. At least half of the team don’t need to bother to turn up. Weather the dregs can salvage the season remains to be seen. For me, don’t go near this. No Bet. | |||||||

CHELSEA |
NOTTINGHAM FOREST |
 |

| Odds -1/2 | O/U 2 1/2 | Odds +1/2 | |||||
| PREDICTIONS: Last week’s demolition against Sunderland should give the Tricky Trees all the confidence they need to take out a Chelsea side that looks like they belong in a few divisions below where their present spot. I don’t see how the Chelsea side can be as bad as they have shown in the last few weeks. But here it is for all to see. I’m taking The Foresters here, just because they have the momentum. Notts Forest +1/2 |

| PREDICTIONS: Manchester City need to win all their remaining games if they are to finish ahead of Arsenal. Everton shouldn’t be too much of a challenge even if they are at home. Manchester City. -1 | |||||||
