Round 12

Sat 3rd Nov
Arsenal v Man Utd
(2-1, 0-0, 2-4, 1-1, 2-2, 3-1)
First win in 5 seasons for Arsenal last season.

Aston Villa v Derby
(-, -, -, -, -, 2-1)
Derby yet to score a goal away from home in 6 (memories of Sheff Utd's start last season), but managed their first point in the draw at Fulham. Villa's home form is good, 4 wins and 2 defeats (but those at the hands of Liverpool and Man U).

Blackburn v Liverpool
(1-0, 0-1, 2-2, 1-3, 2-2, 1-1)
Tight historically, and looks tight on paper. Liverpool's away form is keeping them in the top 4 for a change, they have 4 wins and a draw at Portsmouth. Blackburns only blips at home have come to Arsenal (1-1) and Portsmouth (0-1).

Everton v Birmingham
(-, 0-0, 1-1, 1-0, 1-1, -)
Historically unders and the draw look obvious. Brum have 1 draw in 6 away so far this season, that at Liverpool. Evertons home result show no surprises so far: wins over Wigan and Boro, a draw with Blackburn and losses to Liverpool and Man U.

Everton are layable at 1.72 now and on the way down. I will lay at 1.68.

Strange goings on on mantchday here. Everton's price shot up to 1.9 in the space of about 20 mins, abot 3 hrs prioir to KO. Then went down to 1.8. Is there some site that speculates on teamnews on match day that I don't know about? If so, what team news could do that to Evertons price?


Fulham v Reading
Story of the week for the prematch trading here. Fulham were backable at 2.12 on Sunday (and therefore theoretically could have been successfully laid at that price), and by 15 min before the match, backable at 2.62!!
Middlesbrough v Tottenham
Newcastle v Portsmouth
Wigan v Chelsea
Sunday
West Ham v Bolton
Monday
Man City v Sunderland
