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.
