spread betting news:
to help you get started we asked their senior premiership market maker for his thoughts on the big games:
everton v man utd (17.25 saturday, bbc1)
the home side are missing a lot of key players for this one, most notably beattie and cahill through suspension. with ferguson and mcfadden also doubtful they only have one fit forward, so it’s going to be tough going for the toffees. even though united could have all their strikers fit for this match, it will be interesting to see if ferguson is prepared to risk van nistelrooy, saha or smith on such a dodgy pitch, especially with the ac milan game coming up. i wouldn’t be surprised to see rooney start and for me he’s the man to watch. it’s a big game for the boy and that’s when he’s at his best. we’ve priced up the reds to win this one by 0.6 to 0.8 goals, but with the visitors in good form i would expect to see a few sharp punters bet ‘high’ on this prediction."
burnley v blackburn (13.30 sunday, bbc1)
"i expect this one to be a fiery local derby, more of a battle than a game. last time they met in 2000, kevin ball was sent off for the home side and i think we’ll see a few cards brandished again this time. it’s the kind of game that will suit savage and blackburn should have a bit more quality than the clarets. having recently sold robbie blake to villa, burnley are struggling to score goals and i can’t see them having much joy against hughes’ semi-resurgent side. it’s going to be a tight, scrappy affair but we’ve predicted a victory for the visitors by a margin of 0.4 to 0.6 goals and 46 to 50 points for the total bookings market."
newcastle v chelsea (16.00 sunday, sky sports 1)
with chelsea missing drogba, robben and terry, this represents newcastle’s best chance of getting a result against the champions elect. these two sides met in the carling cup earlier this season, when chelsea edged it in extra time with a near full strength side, so i expect another close game. shearer is still the key man for the magpies but he’ll need to be at his best to get anything out of chelsea’s miserly back five. at the other end, newcastle’s defence hasn’t improved under souness and with boumsong doubtful they’ll struggle to contain duff and co. chelsea should nick it by a goal, but i can see a good number of punters backing the home side."
celtic v rangers (12.30 sunday, setanta)
"after the much publicised fireworks at ibrox in november many pundits are expecting more of the same here, particularly with bellamy and ferguson added to the mix. we’ve predicted 52 to 56 points in the total bookings market and considering that 120 points were amassed in their last meeting, some punters should be tempted to bet ‘high’ at 56. as for the game itself, we think the home side will edge it by a margin of 0.3 to 0.5 goals. rangers haven’t won at parkhead for 5 years and will struggle to keep bellamy quiet."
