We went 4/4 last weekend as Manchester City closed the gap to 3 points at the top of the Premier League. Newcastle moved closer to a Champions League spot with an 8/11 3-0 thrashing of Stoke City and Aston Villa have slipped closer towards relegation zone. The biggest game of the week is the biggest game of the season as Manchester City host Manchester United on Monday night in what is being dubbed the title decider. With the unpredictability of that game, we’re staying away from it and finding better value elsewhere.

Manchester City were good odds at kick off prior to thrashing Norwich City last weekend in the Premier League’s early game. We made serious profit on that, but lost some when backing Sunderland at home to Wolves during the 3pm kick off’s. Martin O’Neill’s side didn’t show up.

We were correct on 3 out of 4 of our tips on Monday-Wednesday games and 6 out of 7 over Easter. Coincidentally not tipping Manchester United at Wigan. The Arsenal victory tipped at Wolves was never in doubt whilst Newcastle showed up in the final 20 minutes to beat Bolton.

A perfect record over the first half of the Easter weekend. First, Newcastle won at Swansea on Friday. Then Stoke came from behind to beat Wolves 2-1, scoring both goals from set pieces as we suggested they may in our preview. And the on Sunday Manchester United beat Queens Park Rangers by more than 1.5 goals. Title race over? I think so…

It was a disappointing start last weekend as Arsenal never showed up in a 2-1 defeat at Loftus Road. Laying Wolves would have been more profitable backing Bolton, although laying Wolves made money none-the-less. Liverpool cost us our bet on Sunday as they failed to score against Newcastle, despite two golden opportunities with Tim Krul out of the way. First, Andy Carroll dived when it appeared easier to score, and then Luis Suarez hit a tame effort at James Perch on the goalline with Tim Krul stranded. Manchester United’s victory on Monday saved the weekend.
