As we head into Week 12 of Premier League play, the match of the week has to be Chelsea v Manchester United. The EPL’s top two teams will wage battle at Stamford Bridge, a place where the Blues have yet to be defeated. Here I take a look at this weeks match ups giving you insight on making your EPL soccer wager a winner.
#7 Aston Villa will host #15 the Bolton Wanderers on Saturday. Aston Villa has been strong at home and is coming off a 1-1 draw against Everton. The Wanderers are coming off back-to-back defeats against Chelsea, one in the English Cup and one in the League. It will be tough for the Wanderers to beat the Villans at Villa Park. Villa takes all three points.
The last place Portsmouth Blues will play at # 17 Blackburn Rovers this weekend. Portsmouth is coming off a big 4-0 win over Wigan and it seems that the team might be coming into form. The Rovers lost their last match against Man U, 2-nil and are winless in their last two. Portsmouth has the momentum coming into the match and that should be enough to notch the win.
#12 Manchester City moved into the top four after last week’s draw with #14 Birmingham. They will host Burnley on Saturday. With four draws in their last four I am not sure that home advantage will be enough to take the points. Burnley picked up a victory in their last game against the Hull City Tigers, 2-nil, and is 3-3 in their last six matches. Burnley gets the upset and the points at Manchester Stadium.
