Homes for Gills, MK Dons, Peterboro and Leicester and the Away for the Villa.

Not sure how much it pays as its not on yet, and I cant get on to sites at work..

Agree with them all except Villa. Don't go by what I say, but Ashley Young is a massive player for them and it's no surprise they didn't score against Doncaster at the weekend with him missing.

Also not sure if Heskey will be thrown straight in.

Throw 'Palace away at Charlton in instead, and the odds will probably rocket.

EDIT: I've just looked into it, and Villa are still the favourites for this game despite Young being out. It might be a safer bet to lay Villa in this case, as Pompey might be better off having signed Pennant who will feed Crouch.

Once again, don't take my word for it as I'm just putting it out there.

Ohwell! Villa did win against a shambles of a Pompey side, just most of the rest let me down!

I thought Leicester were nailed on last night, never mind.

Yeah, bit of a strange one last night with Leicester only drawing at home to Brighton, and MK Dons losing 2-1 at home to 'Orient.

'Palace also lost which shows what I know. I guess that's local derbies for you.

[BarryWhiteRFC]

Ok going for a trebble of

Villa, MK Dons and Morecambe (note the spelling Readingfanman)

Reading, Swansea and Blackburn

Probably put a £1 on a silly accy as well, just for fun.

Well done, Chili!

[Bill Oddie's Beard]

I like the look of Sunderland at 2/1. Newcastle don't have any players!

[Tredder]

I have MK Dons in all my bets tomorrow, take that on board before betting.

[AndyRFC]

I'm going for a slightly different style this week. Lot of value i've noticed with some teams with Coral, so going to go for when of those thingy-ma-jig Lucky 63 or the like...

Teams in consideration:

WBA 11/5
Charlton 7/2
Swans 5/4
Gills 6/5
B'mouth 5/2
MK Dons EVS
Orient 5/4
Tranmere 13/10

Hence i'll pick some of these in my bet and cover all the combinations etc. I know there are some odd ones in there, Charlton for example! - I just feel Burnley have played so many games recently they and are losing form in the league.

Millwall are one to consider IMO.
Aston Villa v Wigan under 2.5 goals. Risky, but Wigan could easily stifle Villa.
Huddersfield v Peterborough over 2.5 goals. Likely.

St Mirren v Kilmarnock under 2.5 goals - just look at the stats:

20.12.2008 PR Premier League Kilmarnock St. Mirren 0-1
16.08.2008 PR Premier League St. Mirren Kilmarnock 0-0
03.05.2008 PR Premier League St. Mirren Kilmarnock 1-0
01.03.2008 PR Premier League Kilmarnock St. Mirren 1-0
22.12.2007 PR Premier League St. Mirren Kilmarnock 0-0
22.09.2007 PR Premier League Kilmarnock St. Mirren 0-0
03.03.2007 PR Premier League St. Mirren Kilmarnock 0-2
09.12.2006 PR Premier League Kilmarnock St. Mirren 1-1
16.09.2006 PR Premier League St. Mirren Kilmarnock 0-1

Good one - I reckon the 1.61 available on bf might be a bit high, looking at those stats I'd price unders nearer 1.4

In other news, I'm laying Southampton at home to the Swans.

<edit> just taken unders, didn't realise this was an early kick-off
