		&#60;b&#62;Selection:&#60;/b&#62; Blackburn Rovers Win and at leas&#60;br&#62;

		&#60;b&#62;Strength:&#60;/b&#62; 10/10&#60;br&#62;
		&#60;b&#62;Reasoning:&#60;/b&#62; &#60;br&#62;&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	I did like Blackburn Rovers to use the excitement surrounding the potential arrival of Harry Redknapp to inspire them to win this game, but I know it won&#38;#39;t be easy with the current lack of goals in the side as Watford have scored in every away game they have played this season.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	In saying that, Watford don&#38;#39;t exactly have a defence that will bother the likes of Jordan Rhodes and Nuno Gomes and it is a defence missing two players through suspension.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	The chances of both sides scoring is pretty high and the layers seem to agree by pricing that at a best price of 1.61, hardly that appealing.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	My gut feeling remains that the Blackburn players will be inspired by the news that Redknapp may turn up in the manager office, and so they will want to show what they can do in this game. However, I feel they will need to score at least twice to do so and that means the 2.75 on offer that the home side win with at least 3 goals scored looks the better value than picking Blackburn to win at sub evens quotes.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	The lack of goals for Blackburn is my biggest concern, but I don&#38;#39;t see them winning this 1-0 and I do fancy Watford to score so any win for the home team will, in my opinion, come when at least 3 goals are shared by the teams.&#60;/p&#62;

		&#60;b&#62;Strength:&#60;/b&#62; 10/10&#60;br&#62;
		&#60;b&#62;Reasoning:&#60;/b&#62; &#60;br&#62;&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Will it be third time lucky for me? Birmingham City showed tremendous heart to come back from a 3-0 deficit at Millwall during the week, but that didn&#38;#39;t help me as I had backed Millwall to win that game.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	The Blues have been a hard team to get a read on as Lee Clark is beginning to right a ship that was sailing dangerously close to the relegation zone earlier in the season- while they are not out of danger, they have proven to be a tougher nut to crack in recent games, particularly on their travels.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	However, I think they could be caught here as Leeds United will surely be fired up by Neil Warnock after yet another draw, although this one came from a winning position. They will also be aware of Birmingham&#38;#39;s comeback ability after losing a 1-0 lead in that 1-4 loss last season.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	I do feel that Leeds might be the fresher of the two sides as coming back from a 3-0 deficit is going to take something out of a team, particularly when this is the third game in a week. At odds against, the home side look worth chancing although I won&#38;#39;t be comfortable until Leeds are leading by at least 4 goals with 2 minutes left after that Millwall result.&#60;/p&#62;

		&#60;b&#62;Selection:&#60;/b&#62; Man City over 2.5 goals&#60;br&#62;
		&#60;b&#62;Price/Bookie:&#60;/b&#62; &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.punterslounge.com/goto/coral&#34;&#62;Coral @ 1.92&#60;br&#62;
		&#60;b&#62;Strength:&#60;/b&#62; 10/10&#60;br&#62;
		&#60;b&#62;Reasoning:&#60;/b&#62; &#60;br&#62;&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	There has been something missing from the Manchester City performances this season, but they continue churning out the results in the Premier League, even if they have been caught out in Europe.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	The side as a whole are a lot better than the majority of the top flight so they seem to play with a bit more freedom.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	With Swansea conceding 2 goals to both Aston Villa and Stoke City, it is hard to imagine them holding out Manchester City in this game.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	The fact also remains that City have scored at least 3 goals in 18 of their last 24 home games in the Premier League, including in all 3 wins at this ground this season. The side don&#38;#39;t have a game at the weekend and I think Roberto Mancini will be demanding his team get off to a much better start then they have in recent games.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Sergio Aguero, Carlos Tevez, Edin Dzeko and Mario Balotelli can all score goals and I think they will be far too strong for a Swansea team that has conceded those 2 goals against a goal-shy team like Aston Villa. Defensively City haven&#38;#39;t been great either, so I can&#38;#39;t imagine them letting up even if they get into a comfortable lead.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	That means the 1.92 on offer that Manchester City continue a powerful recent trend and score at least 3 goals in this one looks the best way to get involved as I don&#38;#39;t trust the defence in terms of other potential markets.&#60;/p&#62;

		&#60;b&#62;Reasoning:&#60;/b&#62; &#60;br&#62;&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	These are the kind of games that Tony Pulis is bound to have circled as those from which he needs his Stoke City side to pick up maximum points if they are to avoid a relegation scrap.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	The draws here against Arsenal and Manchester City will be seen as bonus points towards survival and I think the Stoke team have shown their capabilities against sides outside of the top 6 with their comfortable win over Swansea.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	The system Stoke plays means they will offer more of an attacking threat with their direct play, and I also believe they are defensively solid enough to repel anything that Sunderland can produce in this game.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Sunderland have struggled for goals outside of Steven Fletcher and the possession without threat against Newcastle United would have been disappointing last weekend. It will be tough for them to get anything from this game without scoring a goal in my opinion and I think Stoke are going to be a little too strong for them.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	It is a shame that the odds aren&#38;#39;t slightly higher, but doubling your money is never a bad thing and I like Stoke&#38;#39;s chances of being able to do that for their backers this weekend.&#60;/p&#62;

		&#60;b&#62;Selection:&#60;/b&#62; Man U over 2.5 goals&#60;br&#62;
		&#60;b&#62;Price/Bookie:&#60;/b&#62; &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.punterslounge.com/goto/coral&#34;&#62;Coral @ 2.40&#60;br&#62;

		&#60;b&#62;Reasoning:&#60;/b&#62; &#60;br&#62;&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	This is a tough one for me to get a handle on because Manchester United have just not defended effectively and will be missing three of their usual back four in this one so there is every chance Sporting Braga can score in this one.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	That puts me off the handicaps, although I do think United will win as they are likely to use Wayne Rooney and Robin Van Persie despite the game against Chelsea coming up next Sunday.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	United are relying on their attacking options to put the games away this season and they have already scored at least 3 goals in 5 games and I think they will look to do that to a Braga side that have some injury concerns and were hit for 6 at Arsenal in their previous visit to England.&#60;/p&#62;

		&#60;b&#62;Reasoning:&#60;/b&#62; &#60;br&#62;&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; With the side trailing 2-0 at in-form Crystal Palace, there wouldn&#38;#39;t have been too many Millwall fans expecting to get out of that game with a point. However, a first half sending off for Dean Moxey gave Millwall a way back into the game and they duly earned a point late in the game.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	That means they moved up to 19th in the Championship table having improved to 12 points for the season. Millwall have been a tough prospect at the New Den, although they haven&#38;#39;t had the results they may have felt, going 2-0-3 here, scoring 6 goals and conceding 8 in those games.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	The draw at Palace also means Millwall are unbeaten in 4 games, although they have only picked up 1 win in those games. That win came in Millwall&#38;#39;s only home game in the last 4 unbeaten, a 2-1 win over Bolton Wanderers, and it also snapped their 2 game losing run in front of their own fans.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	I believe Millwall could pick up the three points in this one as they are playing a little better than Birmingham City of late. However, don&#38;#39;t under-estimate the Blues as they have lost just 1 of 4 on their travels and have had a decent recent history at the New Den.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	In saying that, Birmingham haven&#38;#39;t been playing that well of late and 2.5 on the home side looks a touch too big.&#60;/p&#62;

	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;All the talk on Friday night was not of a entertaining Yorkshire derby, but of a Leeds United fan that came onto the field of play and attacked Chris Kirkland, the Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper. That fan has been banned, but all eyes will be on how the Elland Road crowd behave on Tuesday evening.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	On the field, Leeds have been playing some solid football of late and that has seen them climb to 9th in the Championship table. The 18 points earned so far means the side are just 4 points behind the leaders Leicester City and they will be looking to push on here with back to back home games in the coming few days. Leeds have a 3-1-1 record at Elland Road, scoring 9 goals and conceding 7 in those games.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	The draw at Hillsborough means Leeds are unbeaten in 6 games in all competitions going back to mid-September, although they have only won 1 of their last 3 games. The side have lost just 1 of 8 home games in all competitions this season and they enter this contest having won 3 in a row, including a Capital One Cup win over Everton.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Leeds United are definitely in the better form of the two sides, but Charlton Athletic can&#38;#39;t be under-estimated considering their back to back away wins and chances to score goals on their travels with 6 in 3 games.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	However, at slightly odds against, Leeds have to be taken for me as they should be the stronger team when all is said and done.&#60;/p&#62;

		&#60;b&#62;Strength:&#60;/b&#62; 10/10&#60;br&#62;
		&#60;b&#62;Reasoning:&#60;/b&#62; &#60;br&#62;&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	This is a huge game in Group A of the UEFA World Cup Qualifiers as two of the big three nations meet one another. Belgium and Serbia both have 4 points from their opening 2 games and both will feel there have been similarities in their early results as they prepare to meet one another.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	The reason for the similarities is both teams have beaten Wales, who could be the weakest team in this section, while also recording draws with tough opposition in their other game.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Serbia drew 0-0 at Scotland to open the group and I have little doubt that that result will be seen in a positive light when all is said and done in 12 months time. Scotland have proven to be a tough venue to visit for any nation and Serbia&#38;#39;s follow up 6-1 win over Wales gives them plenty of positives to take into this game.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Belgium beat Wales 0-2 in their opening game in the group, but they failed to capitalise on that result by finishing with a 1-1 home draw against Croatia in their next game. That means this game is probably more important to Belgium than it is for Serbia as a defeat for the away team could really damage their chances of making it to Brazil.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	The win at Wales is only the 2nd Belgium have earned away from home in their last 11 away qualifiers, but it has to be said that they are an improving side on their travels than the one that tried to qualify for South Africa 4 years ago. They managed to score in all 5 away qualifiers for Euro 2012 and only were beaten at Germany and Turkey, the latter in a 3-2 loss.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	The Belgians will feel they can come to Serbia and score considering the Serbs have not kept a clean sheet in their last 6 home qualifiers, although they are a tough team to beat in front of a passionate home support they will receive.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Serbia have only lost 1 of their last 11 home qualifiers and they haven&#38;#39;t failed to score in any of those games so will be expecting to trouble Belgium when going forward in this game.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	The home side will also look back to their qualifying campaign for Euro 2008 when they beat Belgium 1-0 at home.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Both sides have shown they can score goals at home/away respectively but also concede goals so the 2.30 being offered on over 2.5 goals looks a little big in my opinion.&#60;/p&#62;

	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;This is a lot tougher to find a nice market than it may seem on first glance as I don&#38;#39;t want to under-estimate what Viktoria Plzen are all about considering their close losses in Barcelona and Milan last season.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	However, Atletico Madrid are one of the form sides in Europe and they have been free-scoring, mainly because they have had a couple of issues defensively. With a player like Falcao in the side, Atletico won&#38;#39;t be too worried about having to score goals and I expect the same to be the case on Thursday.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Atletico have scored at least 3 goals in 4 of their last 6 home games in the Europa League and that has been priced at the same as the home side covering a 1.75 Asian Handicap, something that won&#38;#39;t payout at maximum winnings unless Atletico score at least 3 goals.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	At evens, I&#38;#39;ll back the home attack to continue from the same level as they have playing of late and scoring at least 3 goals.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;

		&#60;b&#62;Reasoning:&#60;/b&#62; &#60;br&#62;&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;The Europa League is a tough competition to get a read on as there are a lot of teams at this stage that don&#38;#39;t play their full starting line ups, but I have to say the Russian sides do not fall into that category. It is unsurprising that teams like Zenit St Petersburg and CSKA Moscow are two sides from this country that have won this competition in recent years so I do like Anzhi&#38;#39;s chances of putting themselves in contention in the Group with a solid win in this one.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Anzhi have scored 11 goals in their last 3 home games and I think they will give Young Boys plenty of problems if the latter defend as they have been in the loss to Liverpool.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Young Boys have been solid in their last few away games, but Anzhi are a step up on most of the competition they have faced, while the Swiss side were comfortably dispatched in Zenit a couple of seasons ago.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	It&#38;#39;ll probably be close for a while if I&#38;#39;m honest, but I am going to take Anzhi to win this by a couple of goals at the least.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;

	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;div&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		&#38;nbsp;I have been very critical of Andre Villa-Boas and some of the tactical decisions he has made during games that has allowed the momentum slip from his Tottenham Hotspur side early in the season and these were highlighted in home draws against Norwich City and West Brom after Spurs had been leading going into the last final minutes of the games.&#60;/p&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		However, I am not so stubborn that I can&#38;#39;t give him some credit for coaxing two good performances from his players in a win over Reading and a really unlucky draw with Lazio in the Europa League.&#60;/p&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		They are creating a lot of chances and it seems only a matter of time before a team takes a real hammering at their hands and my feeling is that Queens Park Rangers may be comfortably disposed of this weekend.&#60;/p&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		As I mentioned above about QPR, they have brought in a number of new faces which will likely lead to inconsistent performances. They played well against Chelsea, but also should have given away at least one penalty so they may not be as fortunate this week.&#60;/p&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		Sometimes it is a good thing to go with what your gut feeling is telling you and mine is screaming that Tottenham could record a healthy win before their trip to Old Trafford next week and the factors all seem to indicate that QPR could struggle to contain them on Sunday.&#60;/p&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		The Asian Handicap will at least return half the stake if Spurs only win by one goal, but I&#38;#39;ll take them to cover and beat QPR by a couple of goals for the second successive season.&#60;/p&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;

	&#60;p&#62;
		&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		It is hard to back anyone against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium as they seem to put enough pressure on their opposition that they end up cracking.&#60;/p&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		I can&#38;#39;t see that not being the case again on Sunday, but Arsenal have definitely looked a more organised side at the back early in the season. They also look like they still have a goal threat in the side and can take advantage of the vulnerabilities that City have been showing in defence.&#60;/p&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		I wouldn&#38;#39;t be surprised if both teams score, but I think City will prove to be too strong and any side that reaches at least 3 goals in their home games so often are going to be tough to beat.&#60;/p&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		The defensive issues puts me off backing City at odds on, but they are a very strong side at home and I will back them to win and at least 3/4 goals to be scored which is being offered at 3.75 by Paddy Power.&#60;/p&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		Obviously it is slightly risky with the way Arsenal have been defending, but I just think City have too much attacking talent and I will be looking for them to likely pick up the 3 points with a 2-1 win.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;/div&#62;

	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;div&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		&#38;nbsp;Alan Pardew didn&#38;#39;t want to risk a number of his important first team players so it was no surprise that the front 6 that started against Everton, as well as Demba Ba, were left in the North East of England during the week with this game in mind.&#60;/p&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		Newcastle performed much better in the second half last week at Everton, but they were still fortunate to earn a draw and they will have to make do without their manager for a second game as Pardew serves a touchline ban.&#60;/p&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		Despite the bad first half performance, I think Newcastle showed plenty of character in coming back against Everton and do feel they will be too strong for Norwich City in this one.&#60;/p&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		Norwich have been playing well and they did give Tottenham Hotspur a tough game at White Hart Lane in a 1-1 draw earlier in the campaign, but they just seem to be struggling to find the goals to win games and 2 goals from 4 League games isn&#38;#39;t going to earn too many wins.&#60;/p&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		It&#38;#39;s not like they haven&#38;#39;t been creating chances, but even that might be difficult against a Newcastle defence that will have been buoyed by their clean sheet in Portugal on Thursday night.&#60;/p&#62;
	&#60;p&#62;
		I also feel the home side have one too many match winners for Norwich to deal with and I will back them at what looks a generous 1.86 offered by Pinnacle on the Asian Handicap.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;/div&#62;

		&#60;b&#62;Strength:&#60;/b&#62; 10/10&#60;br&#62;
		&#60;b&#62;Reasoning:&#60;/b&#62; &#60;br&#62;&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;div&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/div&#62;
&#60;div&#62;
	Anfield is going to be full of emotion on Sunday and I am expecting the players to respond and really come out fast for Liverpool so the first 30 minutes are going to be critical for Manchester United to defend well and maybe find a way to quieten the crowd with an early strike of their own.&#60;/div&#62;
&#60;div&#62;
	I have been stating to friends and family that I believed Brendan Rodgers&#38;#39; first League win as a Liverpool manager would come against Manchester United and it pans out that he does have the opportunity to do just that after a couple of good performances against Manchester City and Sunderland just fell short of the three points.&#60;/div&#62;
&#60;div&#62;
	Liverpool don&#38;#39;t have a lot of options up front, but they do have pace and they are a dangerous side from set pieces so it won&#38;#39;t be a surprise if they do punish United&#38;#39;s defending which has offered up chances in their games so far this season.&#60;/div&#62;
&#60;div&#62;
	On the other hand, I think United do have enough about them to create chances up the other end and, in Robin Van Persie, they have the most clinical finisher on the field.&#60;/div&#62;
&#60;div&#62;
	With Liverpool attempting to implement a passing style of football, they have made mistakes at the back and that is where United could really profit in the game.&#60;/div&#62;
&#60;div&#62;
	I am not at all surprised that the layers are having a hard time separating the teams, but I am ignoring my gut feeling that Liverpool win this game even if the price is remarkably high.&#60;/div&#62;
&#60;div&#62;
	Instead, I think the layers are ignoring the chances for goals on Sunday afternoon and I think the winning team will have to score twice to win the game. 7 of the last 10 overall between these sides has ended with at least 3 goals scored.&#60;/div&#62;
&#60;div&#62;
	My biggest concern is the chances of a 1-1 result so it is worth taking a small saver on that scoreline... Usually I am a man of conviction when it comes to my picks so I will almost never put down a saver, but this is an exception as the emotion of the game is hard to read and it is easy to understand how a 1-1 would be received by both sides as the players could easily become mentally drained towards the end of the game.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/div&#62;
&#60;div&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/div&#62;

		&#60;b&#62;Reasoning:&#60;/b&#62; &#60;br&#62;&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;This looks a really close game to call between two sides that like to play their football and I am finding it hard to separate them.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Fulham have managed to consistently pick up points against Wigan Athletic, but their performances so far this season has made it hard to get a real read on the side. I think they are probably going to continue having a much tougher time on their travels than they do at Craven Cottage, but it is games like these they would have targeted for bonus points.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	On the other hand, Wigan have played well in games while perhaps leaving some points on the field that they should have gained. They should pose problems for Fulham, but they do allow teams to create chances against them too.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Six of the last 11 games between the two teams have ended with the points shared and I am going for this one to go the same way as the 3.40 looks big considering how close both sides are in terms of quality in my opinion.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;

	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	I think this is going to be a fascinating game in East London this week as I believe both sides will feel this is a game they should be winning.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	West Ham United have been playing very well under Sam Allardyce&#38;#39;s watch this season, although they are much stronger at Upton Park where they do seem a little more solid.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	They haven&#38;#39;t conceded a goal here yet, but both games they have played here were against opposition that had their problems- they beat Aston Villa in Paul Lambert&#38;#39;s first game in charge, while their win over Fulham was the day after the transfer window closed and the away side had had some key personnel changes.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Sunderland won&#38;#39;t be coming in with those sort of issues and Martin O&#38;#39;Neill has made them a tough side to beat. They haven&#38;#39;t been winning too many games though, although their tough fixture list to open the season hasn&#38;#39;t helped matters.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	I just feel a draw could be on the cards here, despite it being a long time since they shared the points at Upton Park. Sunderland have drawn over half of their 9 games away from home since they last won, while West Ham were something of a draw specialist at Upton Park before the 6 game winning run they are currently enjoying.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Neither side scores a lot of goals and a low-scoring draw is what I feel we will get.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;

	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	This could be one of the high-scoring games of the weekend if both teams continue to defend in the manner they have been in the opening weeks of the season.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	I know West Brom have a number of clean sheets to their name in their home games, but take away the stats and have a look at the number of chances that both Liverpool and Everton created and you have to feel there will be an opportunity here for Reading, a team that has scored in every League and Cup game so far this season.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	On the other hand, I do expect West Brom to have chances in the game as Reading are still getting to grip with the level of defending needed in the Premier League. They have conceded at least 2 goals in 3 of their 4 games this season, including in the Cup against Peterborough United.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	The last two times they met at the Hawthornes have also produced goals and I just feel the 2.00 being offered by Ladbrokes that we see at least 3 goals is much better value than picking West Brom at odds on to win the game.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	It just feels to me that this is the kind of game that West Brom may throw a dud in and I do think Reading may avoid defeat, but I&#38;#39;ll go against the two defences in this one and look for goals.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;This should be an intriguing contest for the live television viewers as both clubs were touted very highly on a couple of League victories, but are both now without a win in their last two games.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Confidence has to be a little lower than it was after the first couple of games and that makes it a little tougher to figure out which way it will go on Saturday.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	However, my personal view of both teams at the beginning of the season was that Everton would finish a lot higher than Swansea and I feel they are in the better form of the two teams.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	The defensive injuries and suspensions may also tip the balance in favour of the away side so I do like Everton to record their third straight win over Swansea in the last year.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	However, the amount of draws in Everton away games in the Premier League over the last few months has reduced my enthusiasm for their chances so instead I will look to them on the Asian Handicap in the knowledge that I only lose half my stake if they Everton can&#38;#39;t do better than a draw.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;This already looks a &#38;#39;must win&#38;#39; game for Southampton, but I am not a big fan of backing teams in those situations. However, I think Southampton have been very unlucky with the way the fixture list has come out, although they need to improve on the result they didn&#38;#39;t earn against Wigan Athletic.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	It won&#38;#39;t be easy against an Aston Villa side that should have picked up some confidence from recent results, although they do still look a side that could struggle to find the back of the net on a consistent basis.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Picking a winner in the game looks a tough proposition, although I think I favour the home side to help out the manager that has done so much for the club in the last couple of seasons.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	However, Southampton have been conceding goals at an alarming rate and that goes back to last season. In their last 5 games here, including Championship games, they have conceded at least 2 goals in 4 of those games.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	That leads me to think Southampton will have to score at least twice if they are going to win this game. They are a side that create chances and Villa, despite their 2-0 win over Swansea, did offer up chances for the Swans in that game.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	In saying that, I am going to back the over 2.5 goals option at odds against in this game, one where both sides could easily get at least one goal and both are likely to be looking for a big three points.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	I was a little surprised to see Chelsea being priced up as high as they are, especially considering Stoke City&#38;#39;s performances away from home against the &#38;#39;bigger&#38;#39; clubs in the Premier League.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	If this game was at the Brittania Stadium, I would fancy Stoke to avoid defeat, but at Stamford Bridge I think it is a different story.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	I did consider taking Chelsea on the Asian Handicap to win by at least a couple of goals, but the last couple of games between the two were tight ones and there is a possibility that the home side win by exactly one goal.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Instead, I will take Chelsea to &#38;#39;win to nil&#38;#39; which has been the situation in each of the last 4 games between the teams at Stamford Bridge.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Stoke have also scored just 4 goals in the 9 games between the sides since they have returned to the top flight so the 2.25 being offered by Coral looks worth chancing that Chelsea manage to keep a clean sheet on the road to victory again.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;

	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;There is no way I would be interested in backing a team at odds on in the lower Leagues as the difference in quality between the very best and the very worst teams in a Division can be negligible at times.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	In these Leagues, I much prefer looking for the games that will provide goals and that is what I believe this one is.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	I really like the chances of both sides to score in this match as 8 of the last 9 Rotherham United away games would have hit that criteria while 5 of the last 6 Barnet games at Underhill would also have passed.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Both teams should give the others chances in this game and 3 of the last 4 between them have also seen both sides get on the scoreboard.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	I was thinking the over 2.5 goals option was going to be my pick, but I think the 1-1 is a definite chance and the layers are offering both teams to score a 1.80, just 0.03 less than you would get on the overs anyway.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;

	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	I know Oxford United are having their problems with players getting injured, but they have been tough to beat at home so far this season, even taking into consideration the heavy loss suffered at the hands of Exeter City.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	However, there has to be a concern with the amount of goals the side seem to be conceding at the moment and that is where Bradford may hay on Saturday.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	In saying that, Bradford are not exactly known for being a tight defensive team and the 1-1 draw at Accrington was the first time they avoided conceding at least 3 goals in their away games in the League this season.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	3 of the last 4 games between these teams have also provided goals and I think the layers may be under-estimating the chances of that happening again by offering 2.14 on the overs in this one.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	I imagine both teams will get on the scoreboard so the 1-1 is a concern, but neither defence can be trusted wholeheartedly so I wouldn&#38;#39;t be surprised if we see a winner in the contest as at least 3 goals are scored between the teams again.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;

	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	This is a really hard to separate the two teams and either could win this one for me, but it is yet another one of those games in the lower Leagues where I fancy goals.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Port Vale have been solid at home and they do manage to create chances and find the back of the net in their games here, while Gillingham are an effective away side that has scored in all 5 away games they have played this season.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	We did see Port Vale really get amongst Rotherham United when they visited here recently, going 4-0 up in the first 30 minutes of that game, and while I don&#38;#39;t think that is going to happen again, I do believe it will be an open game.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Unfortunately the layers aren&#38;#39;t handing out gifts here, but the 1.83 that we see at least 3 goals looks worth chancing when two teams can create chances and have been scoring goals.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	3 of the last 4 between them at Vale Park would have seen that ending as a winner too so I&#38;#39;ll take my chances.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;

	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Taking any lower League side at odds on is the short way to reach the poor bank in my opinion, but this looks like a game that could see at least 3 goals shared between the sides.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Portsmouth earned a clean sheet in their last away game, but they had previously conceded at least 2 goals in 8 consecutive away games although they have also scored at least 2 goals in each of their away games so far this season.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	They are also playing an opponent that has had 1 clean sheet in their last 7 home games. Notts County have also scored at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 7 home games going back to last season so the 1.95 being offered for at least 3 goals looks a touch high to me here.&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;I was very tempted to back Swindon Town to win this game considering their defensive performances at home going back to last season, but I feel Bournemouth have enough about them to grab at least one goal in this game and may even be able to do better than that.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Swindon are a good football team, but they have come up a level and Bournemouth are expected to be challenging at the top of the table come May. They haven&#38;#39;t been winning many games, but they have been scoring goals and I expect them to cause the home side some problems.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	In saying that, Bournemouth have also been conceding goals and their clean sheet at Yeovil was the first they had managed in 11 straight away games in League One.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Even though the home team did have a long streak of not conceding goals at the County Ground, I just feel the 2.15 being offered on at least 3 goals being scored is too high and that is why I&#38;#39;ll be backing that here.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	It just seems like both sides are capable of getting at least one goal in this one and neither manager will be pulling any punches to earn the three points so the over looks like it will have a chance, better than 2.15 would indicate.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;

	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;If someone put a gun to my head and demanded that I pick a winner in this game, I would back &#38;#39;the fans&#38;#39; as this promises to be an entertaining game between two teams that are struggling to defend and need to out-score opponents to put wins on the board.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Sheffield Wednesday have conceded at least 2 goals in every League game they have played this season, while Bolton have 1 clean sheet overall and have conceded at least 2 goals in each of their away games in all competitions.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	I would be surprised if this isn&#38;#39;t one of the higher scoring games in the Championship this weekend and it won&#38;#39;t surprise you that I am going to be backing over 2.5 goals at a reasonable 1.86 being offered by Pinnacle.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	While they have defensively struggled, both teams have scored in every home/away game respectively so they have the attacks that could take advantage of defensive lapses.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Historically, the fixture has also produced goals with 4 of the last 5 games at Hillsborough finishing with at least 3 goals shared between the teams.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	I&#38;#39;ll hope for their recent defensive problems to continue here and back the overs option.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	I imagine Brighton will have their backers in this game after their 4 game winning run, but the Championship is a Division which has the habit of throwing up a strange result from time to time and I am not sure what I feel about this side just yet.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	They should have chances to score here at the New Den, but Millwall&#38;#39;s ability to cause problems shouldn&#38;#39;t be under-estimated.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	I feel the home side will score, despite failing to do so in 2 of their first 3 League games at home, as they had scored in 6 of their last 7 here to end last season while Brighton have just 2 clean sheets in their last 9 away games in the Championship.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	The 1-1 scoreline is definitely a danger in this one, but I just feel both teams will score and that will be my pick at a decent looking 1.85.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;

	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;This is another game where I am finding it hard to pick a winner, but one where I think we will see at least 3 goals scored.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Leeds United have scored 5 goals and conceded 6 in their last 2 home games against Blackburn Rovers and Hull City and even in the absence of Ross McCormack they are a side that can create chances and scored goals.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	It is also clear that they are not the best defensively and I expect Nottingham Forest to get at least one goal having scored in 6 of their last 7 away games in the Championship.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Over the last couple of seasons, 3 of their 4 League meetings have been high-scoring affairs and this feels like it could be another.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Hopefully Leeds will score first to open up proceedings as Nottingham Forest&#38;#39;s possession football could make it tough to see goals if they go ahead.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	However, my concerns are nullified by a tempting 1.95 on offer for goals in this one and that is what I&#38;#39;ll be backing on Saturday afternoon.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;

	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	I wouldn&#38;#39;t be surprised if Derby County had their backers this weekend, but I don&#38;#39;t think Burnley will keep losing and they were a little unfortunate not to avoid defeat at Leicester City during the week.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Burnley also have a pretty good record against Derby in the last few seasons, both in games overall and games at Pride Park.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	With the way both defences have played, I feel backing the over 2.5 goals option is the way to attack this game as both sides have had defensive issues but can score goals.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	All 4 games at Pride Park have been high-scoring affairs this season with a minimum of 4 goals scored, while these two teams have played some high-scoring games against one another recently.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	The best odds are 1.83 for the overs but I still think it is worth chancing with both sides expected to score at least one in this game and then hopefully we&#38;#39;ll have a winner.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;

		&#60;b&#62;Reasoning:&#60;/b&#62; &#60;br&#62;&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;It will take a much braver man than me to pick Birmingham City to win this game at short odds on just because they have had a couple of home wins in succession.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	The win over Peterborough United in particular wasn&#38;#39;t impressive and could be considered fortunate while Charlton Athletic avoided defeat here already this season.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	However, Barnsley&#38;#39;s awful away form inspires no confidence even after that performance at Blackburn Rovers during the week.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	There is something that has stuck out to me though, and that is the fact that Barnsley are at least finding goals in their recent away games, scoring in 5 of their last 6 in the Championship going back to last season including all 3 games this season.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	It would be a surprise if Birmingham City didn&#38;#39;t get at least one goal considering Barnsley have conceded in 23 straight away from home in the League.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Add to this the fact that the game ended 1-1 last season and Birmingham have both scored and conceded in 7 of their last 10 home games during which they have been unbeaten, and all of a sudden the 1.92 being offered by Ladbrokes that both teams score looks rather appealing.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	Granted last season was the first time Barnsley had scored at St Andrews in 4 attempts, but everything suggests both teams will score in this one and that will be my pick.&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
	&#38;nbsp;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;
