WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 31st
The Capital One Cup games are not totally without interest, but I prefer to leave them alone
today. Chelsea seem sure to name a stronger starting line up than Manchester United
, but both have other targets for the season, the Reds also host
Arsenal in the lunchtime kickoff on Saturday, so, advantage to the hosts
in my book and anything above 2.20 probably offers a shade of value. Norwich City host Tottenham,
surely rotation for the visitors, they are now up to 4th in the EPL, that
Champions League battle will be season long and AVB has made it clear he
wants to respect and name a strong line up for the Europa League, so
they do not need any further involvement in this competition. Survival
has to be the sole aim for the hosts, but boss Chris Hughton will want a
big showing against his former club for whom he played 14 seasons and
spent another eight as assistant coach, , if pushed I would
say the Canaries were too big for this one, but I would prefer to see
some confirmed team news, with City having been unchanged for their last
two, they will surely have to rest a couple this evening. It is a similar
strory in the Liverpool -Swansea City
match, the hosts played two tough matches last week, Anzhi on Thursday
and the derby game on Sunday, they still have to go to Russia and Italy
in the Europa League and at the very least, have to make a run of some sort ,at a top 4
spot in the league. I am not certain they need this competition, but
boss Brendan Rodgers will be facing his former club and that always
brings something else into the mix ( not quite sure what this
time !),
Swansea entertain Chelsea at the weekend, but have a nice seven point
buffer over the drop zone and I would favour them tonight with the full
goal handicap start. However, again, I really would like to be a little
more sure about both line ups. I will take the
coward's way out and pass !
I will be a little braver in Serie A, despite the debacle at Catania on Sunday and I have three selections here, two at odds of 3.40 +.
ITALY : SERIE A
ATALANTA - NAPOLI
Selection at odds of circa 3.75.....
