Here are our thoughts on this weekend’s big games:
Wigan v Liverpool
Wigan have won just one league match in 2006 and haven’t beaten any of the top sides in the Premiership this season. With a lengthy injury list, Paul Jewell would probably settle for a point, and with a lack of attacking options it may be the best that the home side can hope for. Ex-Red, Mellor, is expected to retain his place, with Camara returning after international duty. Sporting Index has made Liverpool favourites, predicting a 0.5 to 0.7 goal victory for the Reds. Gerrard is expected to return, but even without him they should have too much quality for a depleted Wigan side.
Portsmouth v Man Utd
Redknapp’s transfer window purchases are yet to settle in and it’s difficult to see anything other than an eighth game without a win for struggling Pompey. Replacing the spine of a team mid-season is a recipe for disaster and it looks like Harry’s side will be playing Championship football with Southampton next season. United’s form has been erratic of late, but they are scoring plenty of goals – 18 in the last six games. Sporting Index think that the Red Devils will come out on top by 1.1 to 1.3 goals, and with Van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo in scoring form, it could be a very busy day for Kiely.
Sunderland v Spurs
McCarthy’s relegation favourites must be hoping that Mido doesn’t make it back from Egypt in time for this one. Spurs have struggled to score without him, particularly on the road. They’ve won just one out of their last six away games, but are still favourites to beat Sunderland. Sporting Index has priced Spurs up to win by 0.8 to 1.0 goals. Considering Spurs’ travel sickness, this could be the Black Cats best chance of adding to their paltry points haul. With the possibility of a low scoring affair, if Sunderland can shackle Defoe and Keane they could get something.
Man City v Charlton
Charlton were very poor at Spurs last weekend, but put in a much improved performance against Liverpool in midweek. Even so, their away form is poor - the Addicks haven’t won on the road in the Premiership since October. Curbishley is expected to play with D Bent as a lone striker, and would probably settle for a point. Man City are a good side at home, as recent wins against Man Utd and Newcastle have shown. With Vassell and new boy Riera in form, we could see a few goals in this game. Sporting Index are predicting that Stuart Pearce’s side will edge it by 0.6 to 0.8 goals, and with Charlton’s defence looking decidedly shaky, it could be another miserable weekend for the Londoners.
