After the weekend's results the story of the season came that bit closer to its conclusion, and it looks like being a real cliff-hanger. The Premiership's midweek games could provide a couple more twists and turns in the plot, but there it is no secret that PinnacleSports.com offers the best value on the net with up to 60% better Premiership odds.
Rooney & Ronaldo Should Compensate for United's Make-shift Defence
Manchester United took another giant stride toward completing the treble by effortlessly sweeping Watford aside in Saturday's FA Cup semi-final. United's 4-1 win over the Hornets however, came at a cost as Alex Ferguson lost another defender, with Rio Ferdinand limping off with a groin strain. This could force Ferguson to field a make-shift back-four for Tuesday's home game against Sheffield United, featuring only one first choice defender, but Rooney & Ronaldo have shown they are more than capable of compensating.
The Blades ended a three-game losing streak and eased their relegation fears with a convincing 3-0 win at home to fellow strugglers West Ham United. Neil Warnock's team are not safe just yet, but this game aside, their destiny is firmly in their own hands, which suggests that he might write this one off and concentrate on the remaining four games against much more modest opposition. Warnock has already shown his willingness to adapt his team selection to fit the circumstances in the FA Cup. PinnacleSports.com certainly see Man Utd winning pricing them 1.800 (-1.5 & -2.0) with Sheff Utd 2.15 (+1.5 & +2.0).
Upton Park Derby Key to Both Club's Seasons
Wednesday night's London Derby at Upton Park between Chelsea and West Ham will be critical for both their seasons. Should West Ham follow Saturday's defeat at Bramall Lane with another here, then they will have one foot in the Championship. By the same token, should Chelsea fail to secure a victory then their grip on the Premiership title will loosen considerably. Despite the importance of the game Jose Mourinho may make changes from the side that needed extra-time to see off Blackburn in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final.
Mourinho fielded what is probably his strongest available eleven at Old Trafford but may shuffle the pack after the energy-sapping win. The Blues have recorded eight straight Premiership victories without conceding, but were seconds away from dropping two points away to doomed Watford in their last away game, where they looked jaded. West Ham are threatened by relegation for good reason but will not go down without a fight, particularly in front of their own fans. The Hammers have already beaten Manchester United at home, and Arsenal away, but have however, lost the last four meetings with Chelsea. PinnacleSports.com expect a one-goal Chelsea victory pricing the Blues 2.09 (-1) with West Ham 1.84 (+1).
Losing FA-Cup semi-finalists Look to Bounce Back
Blackburn and Watford both experienced the bitter disappointment of defeat in the last four of the FA Cup on the weekend. They face each other a matter of days later looking to bounce back and restore pride. Six points clear at the foot of the table Watford must have abandoned hope of staying up, while Blackburn's hopes of European football ended with FA Cup elimination. So with little at stake this might be an open and entertaining game though PinnacleSports.com price UNDER 2.5 goals at 1.935, and the OVER at 1.971.
Gunners Should Be More Relaxed For Visit of Citizens
Arsenal looked to have salvaged something from their season by beating Bolton at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, and have almost guaranteed themselves Champions League qualification for next term. Despite falling behind again at home, they finally managed to find their feet in front of goal with Cesc Fabregas firing the winner, his first in eight months. Arsenal host Man City on Tuesday night who have ended their season strongly after flirting with the drop. The Citizens are unbeaten in five, keeping clean sheets in four of those games, but PinnacleSports.com rate them under-dogs 2.20 (+1) with Arsenal 1.769 (-1).
Reds With One Eye on Champions League
Liverpool host Boro at Anfield on Wednesday night one week before the biggest game of their season away to Chelsea in the Champions League. Protecting and resting his best players will be on Rafa Benitez' mind, though at the same time he will want to reap the benefits of maintaining continuity. The Spaniard fielded a near full-strength side at the City of Manchester Stadium on Saturday, which is bad news for Boro who've won just once on the road. In contrast the Reds have lost just once at home, conceding only five times. With Middlesbrough players probably thinking already about their holidays they are deserved under-dogs with PinnacleSports.com at 1.826 (+1.5) with Liverpool 2.110 (-1.5).
