We weren’t too far off things in midweek, which is a little frustrating as that would have been a lovely little return. However, it does make me a bit more confident about this weekend’s FA Cup Fourth Round ties that will be the basis of this weekend’s acca.
Somewhat oddly, there are just three all-Premier League games this weekend. Fulham v Burnley, Southampton v Arsenal and the big game on Sunday, Manchester United v Liverpool. The rest are a mix of games between Premier League and lower league sides, or just all lower league clashes.
I feel that while the odds are not going to be too great on a number of those games, I do feel that picking a winner in some of them should, in theory at least, be easier. So I am quietly confident that we are going to have a good week. Luck permitting!
I am going to include the Man Utd v Liverpool clash on Sunday even though I think it will be a markedly different game from the terrible game last Sunday. I think both managers may play different teams for this game, plus when two teams clash twice just a few days apart, that second game never really goes as the first one did.
That does make things a little trickier with that clash but even so, it is such a big game that it would be churlish to leave it out of this week’s selection of matches. I’ve also gone with the Southampton v Arsenal game too as I think that has the potential to be one of the best games of the weekend.
Let’s hope that this fourfold bet lands us that elusive winner this week!
