Blackburn +110 To Beat Sunderland 3 Units
Blackburn went to Sunderland on Wednesday in the Carling Cup and won 2-1 so why they would be odds against now they're playing at home is beyond me. I actually backed Sunderland to win on Wednesday, reasoning there was only one point between them in the league and home advantage would count, but when it came to it Sunderland were outmatched and there's no reason to think they won't be overmatched again. Throw in the fact they're now on the road and I make this a solid bet.
Aston Villa +600 To Beat Arsenal 1 Unit
This is a small stakes bet on the basis Hull and Tottenham have both proved Arsenal are from unbeatable at home. Villa have slowed down a bit since a good start but they are definetly a team that can hold their own against the big boys if they're having an 'on' day. +600 is far too juicy to turn down.

Southampton +300 To Beat Wolves 1 Unit
Although Southampton are fourth from bottom their league position is deceptive. Because of financial constrictions they've throw all the youth players into the team and consequently the average age of the team is one of the youngest in the country. That said, they play fantastic free-flowing football and all they lack is some steel at the back and having watched the whole game when they lost at home to Bristol City last week, I rate this is a small stakes play with a live chance of winning. If Southampton score first they could win by two or three.
+2800 2-Team Parlay Southampton and Aston Villa 1 Unit
As the price implies, this is a long shot but I'll thow 25 bucks at it on the basis it's possible even if the books are saying it's unlikely.
