Bolton v Liverpool
As you probably remember I was on Bolton last round and although it was a winning bet I was seriously frustrated by the way things went on the pitch, and even if it hurts I have to say the
Tigers were the better team and should have won the match. I'm very sure it wasn't because of Hull being so great but rather because of Bolton who're coming off 2 wins in a row but don't perfom
well at all. Their previous win when they beat City at home was also lucky as Hughes' men should have taken the lead early but couldn't convert and Bolton made them pay in the second half. The
bottom line is a draw would have been fairer, and since the results seem to be decisive when it comes to lines I have enough reasons to believe the Trotters get overrated. The Reds are back on
track after they beat Baggies last round and will be looking not to repeat the mistakes they've made against Spurs, a match they never deserved to lose btw! Torres is back in the squad and
Benitez has got a full squad available ahead of this clash. I don't expect too many goals in this one, but if we see some it's certaonly going to be in Jaaskelainen's goolie, what a match he
managed last round against Hull btw, I doubt he can save his team from a defeat todat though no matter how brave he is.

Blackburn v Sunderland
The Rovers really seem to struggle this season. Ince hasn't got much experience and his players seem to suffer from that as they look really naive at times. They got pace and everything else
for an average EPL side but something's lacking and only the coach can be the reason. They may get decent matches on the road but at home they're underperforming that's for sure. The Black Cats
are coming off 2 defeats in a row, the last one was at home to Pompey in a match they have managed a perfect first half as they took early the lead with Djibril Cisse scoring on a fast counter.
In-form Richardson and his mates were really close to double their lead but the visitors got back on level terms after the break, and despite the home side who pushed hard it was the visiting
team who managed to grab a late winning goal from a penalty. Roy Keane's men really shouldn't have lost and will be more than eager to bounce back in a way or another when they travel to Ewood
Park. Please also note McCarthy will be missed for the hosts which has to be a blow. Sunderland not to lose!

Manchester United v Stoke
Whether United cover the spread is 50 - 50% to me so I won't get involved but I really like the under here as I think the total is quite profuse. It's a fact the Red Devils play attacking
football and have the right men who can deliver and score from so many positions but from another point of view not every ball goes in. You score some you miss some, and since we have this
total I think there's good value to be had on. Stoke may look so poor at times but once in a while they can be a nut hard to crack, I suggest we remember their match at Anfield Road when they
managed to held in a scoreless draw Liverpool, and even if they never deserved that it was great the way they defended. United will more than likely win this one but it's going to take a while
until they'll find the net as Stoke like to crowd their own half and block potential holes which should burden United to score.
