Blues can edge Bridge battle
Chelsea and Manchester City enter the last chance saloon on Sunday as their Premier League title challenge comes to a head at Stamford Bridge. For the winner it could be the start of a last tilt at top spot and for the loser, they can kiss any hopes they had of league success goodbye.
Another team [...]
City face uphill Europa battle
Manchester City, Liverpool and Rangers are all in Europa League action on Thursday night – with all three in danger of heading out of the competition in the last 16 (Europa League outright – Liverpool 6/1).
City are in the most precarious position of the British trio. Roberto Mancini’s expensively-assembled side were humbled as they slumped [...]
Battle of the Blues
Wednesday night’s Premier League clash throws up another exciting contest as Everton host Birmingham City at Goodison Park (Everton 8/15, draw 3/1, Birmingham 5/1).
After another slow start to the season which bordered on relegation fears for Everton fans, the Toffees have started to find some of their best form in the campaign so far.
David Moyes’ [...]
Battle of the Red Devils
Crawley Town could record one of the biggest upsets in FA Cup history if the Red Devils can beat the slightly more famous Manchester United Red Devils at Old Trafford on Saturday (United 1/16, draw 8/1, Crawley 28/1).
It was a dream draw for the non league side who have nothing to lose against the Premier [...]
Defences to win midweek battle
Birmingham and Newcastle go head-to-head in the only midweek Premier League game and goals will be at a premium at St Andrew’s (8/13 under 2.5 goals) on Tuesday night.
Both teams have largely struggled in front of goal in recent weeks and it looks like defences will be on top when the Blues and Magpies collide [...]
Let the Top 4 battle commence
A few weeks ago it seemed it was ‘five teams from four‘ in the Premier League to fill the coveted Champions League places, but Liverpool’s recent resurgence plus Chelsea’s continued inconsistency means the race for the top four may just be about to get interesting.
For the sake of argument, let’s take it as a given [...]
3 from 6 as drop battle heats up
It may have been a record-breaking weekend for goals in the Premier League, but it was also notable for some of the division’s so-called dead-men stirring back into life as two of the bottom three secured vital wins and dragged a clutch of clubs into the fight for survival.
It could be that clubs as far [...]
McLeish joy in battle of Blues
Birmingham may be languishing in the bottom three, but they are always a tough nut to crack at St Andrew’s and Chelsea’s poor form will raise optimism amongst the home fans (Birmingham 9/2, Draw 11/4, Chelsea 4/7 – totesport.com Match Betting).
Blues have never beaten Chelsea in 12 Premier League meetings and will never have a [...]
Vieira set to battle on
Patrick Vieira admits that not playing regular first-team football at Manchester City is tough but he is determined to stay and fight for his place (City 7/10 – 90 minutes v Juventus).
The 34-year-old made the switch from Inter Milan to Eastlands during last season’s January transfer window but, with such a talented squad around him, [...]
