Armchair punters are in for a live TV feast of football on Easter Sunday as the top four in the Premiership face each other in what could be the most pivotal weekend of the season.
First up is the visit of Liverpool to leaders and champions Man Utd who seem to hold the hoodoo over the Anfield club in recent times.
Bookmakers class Rafael Benitez’s team as the 10/3 underdogs and Man Utd as the 10/11 favourites.
Liverpool go to Old Trafford in a wee bit of form and know that a win on Sunday could cement fourth place in the Premiership. In Fernando Torres they have the most in-form striker in the Premiership and he has to be backed to grab first goal at 6/1.
The champions have hit the front on the bridle and it’s now in their hands. Alex Ferguson will look for the big three of Carlos Tevez, Wayne Rooney and that man Christiano Ronaldo (below) to shine on Sunday and they know a win on Sunday will move them one step closer to holding on to their title.
I’m not sure I would advise punters to lump on Man Utd at odds-on against their bitter rivals, so we are going for the safe option and taking the draw at 12/5.
You just get time to draw breath and then it’s on to Stamford Bridge for the eagerly anticipated London derby with Arsenal and Chelsea locking horns.
Bookmakers class the misfiring Gunners as the 9/4 underdogs and Avram Grant’s team are the 6/5 favourites.
Is it just me or do the Gunners look a wee bit jaded? They have drawn their last four matches and handed the advantage firmly back to Old Trafford. Sandwiched in between those draws was that great victory in the San Siro and it’s that kind of performance they will need on Sunday if they are to get back in the title hunt.
Chelsea went out of the FA Cup without a whimper at Barnsley but have been quietly slipping back into the title race and are in the slipstream of the front two.
Again, the teams are very evenly matched and I’m going to opt for a draw in this one at 11/5.
The Sunday draw double works out a 11/1 – worth a fiver of anybody’s money.
