Relegation battle on showcase …

Hello there everyone .. long time no see .. apologies for not updating the blog !!

Man Utd’s pursuit to retain the BPL title met with a slight hiccup at Teeside and with Chelsea grinding out yet another 1-0 win, the title could be decided when both the teams meet later this month.

This weekend sees relegation battles in the spotlight, with teams at the bottom of the table fighting out for lucrative points.

Sunderland vs Man City

This has to be the best bet of the day .. Sunderland are quite formidable at home and are currently on 3 consecutive wins .. Sunderland are still mathematically involved in the relegation battle and Roy Keane would be hoping the current winning streak continues …

Man City on the other hand on a free fall and have lost another defender, Nedum Onuoha, for the rest of the season. With Micah Richards already out for the season, Erikkson has a defensive crisis as who will partner “own-goal specialist”, Richard Dunne.

Their away record is pathetic compared to their home form and I do not see that improving tonight.

Prediction : Sunderland Win.

Reading vs Fulham

Fulham are going down … and are not going to come back for a while .. They were awful against Sunderland also in their last couple of matches .. Jimmy Bullard is the only saving grace in an otherwise awful team ..

Reading on the other hand are very good at The Madjeski Stadium. They are still close to the relegation places and Steve Coppell will expect three points from this game. With difficult away games to Arsenal and Wigan looming after this game, Reading needs this win very badly.

Prediction : Reading Win.
