Liverpool can spend a couple of hours at the top
to get a win at Old Trafford.
Tomorrow, the 4-5 for West Ham to beat struggling Everton is an obvious call — the Toffees were outplayed on the road by Crystal Palace and there is no reason to think they will have improved any since then.
Skip
Tottenham against Newcastle is not a game where I would be betting with any certainty so I’ll skip to Monday, where my new favourite team host Arsenal.
Palace boss Patrick Vieira has just a small bit of history with the Gunners but that won’t play any part here. The Eagles are an exciting side and at 4-1 they are a backable price to win.
Probably the big game on tomorrow sees Rangers host Celtic at Ibrox, where the midday start might catch a few out.
I get the feeling that Celtic just have the edge in this one and in the title race — the two remaining Old Firm games will probably decide the destination of the title.
Celtic are 15-8 shots to win on their great rival’s turf and I am backing them.
Skipping to the Champions League and I am going to have two decent-priced pokes in the quarter-final first legs — one on Tuesday and the other on Wednesday.
Firstly I will take a draw at the Etihad where Manchester City host Atletico Madrid. That is as big as 15-4.
Chelsea host Real Madrid and the Spanish giants are a crazy 3-1 to win at Stamford Bridge. I have to take that.
Finally it is Allianz League finals weekend and the meeting of Cork and Waterford in the hurling could be a cracker.
I just have a sneaking feeling for Waterford at 11-10. Cork have been kind to this column more than once in the League but the Déise look like they might have a real run at Liam MacCarthy this year.
Kerry take on Mayo in tomorrow’s football decider and the bookies just might have underestimated the Connacht county for this one.
The Kingdom might edge a win but it will surely be closely run and the 5-6 for Mayo at +3 on the handicap will give you a good run for your money.
