SUNDAY BETTING
PREMIERSHIP FIVE
ASTON VILLA v Sunderland
Sunderland (6.0 at Bet 365) can retire their Premiership season happy in the knowledge that at least they won one home game.
Villa's (1.53 at Bet 365) players, meanwhile, must be concerned that their erratic form of late will mean wholesale changes at the end of the season. I doubt it will make them as charitable as Fulham were midweek.
The draw is 3.2 at Bet 365.
VERDICT: Rare Villa win
BLACKBURN ROVERS v Manchester City
Blackburn (1.66 at Bet 365) are privileged enough to have a manager regarded as the best in the Premiership.
Mark Hughes' side have proved this with a storming finish that included beating Chelsea last week.
They should be far too good for a drifting Man City (5.5 at Bet 365) on Sunday.
The draw is 3.4 at Bet 365.
VERDICT: Rovers roar on
FULHAM v Middlesbrough
Oh! the shame for Fulham (1.66 at Bet 365) - becoming the only side this season to be beaten by Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
The Cottagers will be desperate to make amends for that embarrassment, and they do have a home record strong enough to point to a Fulham win.
But the real dealmaker for me is the fact that Boro (5.5 at Bet 365) will be wrapped up in cotton wool ahead of their Uefa Cup final.
The draw is 3.4 at Bet 365.
VERDICT: Fulham saved
NEWCASTLE v Chelsea
Back Newcastle (3.0 at Bet 365) at good odds to beat the champions.
Chelsea (2.3 at Bet 365) have little to play for and are a target for any club wanting to prove themselves against 'the best'.
The draw is 3.25 at Bet 365.
VERDICT: Geordie joy
Portsmouth V LIVERPOOL
The bookies have laid a lot of money on Portsmouth (5.0 at Bet 365) upsetting the odds and beating Liverpool, but I think that won't happen.
Pompey's record since Harry Redknapp returned has been impressive but that was when the necessity was survival.
Nobody in Portsmouth cares now - and Liverpool (1.66 at Bet 365) still need the points for Champions League purposes.
The draw is 3.8 at Bet 365.
VERDICT: Pool take points
วิลล่า , แบล้คเบิร์น , ฟูแล่ม , นิวคาสเซิล และ ลิเวอร์พูล
