Manchester United and Chelsea felt pretty sure as winners in the text above. I simply just can’t see how any of them can loose or draw today. Now I will give you my best odds from the rest of the games that is played today:
West Ham vs. Arsenal – draw @ 3.60
This is the biggest game of the day. It’s not only a FA-cup game between two Premier League teams, but even a London-derby.
And the fact that West Ham has started their climb in the league table makes it even more interesting. I saw their last game before New Year home against Chelsea and they really played well in that game. If the football world would be a fair world they even should had win that game since Chelsea (like many times this year) got a ridiculously easy penalty while West Ham deserved more then the penalty that they got. But that is, unfortunately, the advantage of being a top team.
But even without the penalty “Hammers” where the better side and I was impressed by them. I have felt that West Ham deserves more points then they have taken this season. But after their point against Chelsea and win against Portsmouth at home (when they did a strong game once again) I feel that Gianfranco Zola’s spring can be a good finish.
Arsenal has had lots of injuries through out the season. Now it looks a bit brighter for them, but since it is the Africa’s cup of nations some players will be missing anyway the nearest weeks. But even though Arsenal has had problems with injuries and that most of the experts didn’t thought that they would be able to fight in the top of the league, they are in the title race. At the moment Arsenal is on the third place in the league, but only four points behind of Chelsea. And since they have one match less played then Chelsea and Manchester United they have the chance to be only one single point behind them if they win that game.
But I think that the odds is to low in this game to bet on Arsenal today. They only pay 1.60 and since Arsene Wenger has been forced to rotate a lot I am not so sure how he will play in this game. Normally Wenger plays only reserves in Carlings cup, all of them and all the way in that cup. And then he often mixes some of the ordinary players with the best youth players that he has in the beginning of the FA-cup. And of course he plays the best possible team in Champions League and Premier League.
But since he has had so many players unavailable in this season he might rest some of the key players in this game. And since Arsenal is fighting in the top of the league for the first time in several years as well that’s another reason that he might rest some of the best players in this game.
But no matter what I don’t think that 1.60 in odds on an away win against West Ham with a strong form is worth betting on. I would rather gamble and bet on the draw for 3.60 in odds.
West Ham is also in a tough situation in the league. They are standing just above the relegation mark at the moment, but Bolton (just under the relegation mark) has played two games less then “Hammers”. I would be very surprised if West Ham will be relegated when it is time to summarize this season. They have a stronger squad and a better game plan then most of the teams in the bottom region of the table. But since they haven’t taken as many points that they deserve it has led to a tough situation. Even though this is their only chance to play in Europe next year it’s a long way to that. And if I where West Ham’s manager I would probably rest some of the most tiered players in this game. Since there are lots of question marks from my side I would probably recommend to not betting in this game at all. But if I would do that it would be the draw to 3.60 in odds.
Sheffield United vs. Queens Park Rangers – Home win @ 2.05
Both this teams plays in Championship and lies on the upper half of the table. Sheffield United are at the seventh place, chasing top 6 witch means that they would get the chance to qualify to Premier League trough the play-off.
QPR is on the tenth place, only two points behind Sheffield U.
The reason that I chose to bet on Sheffield United in this game to 2.05 in odds is that they are a typical cup team. They often go far in both FA-cup and Carlings cup. And that kind of fact should never be underestimated. So 2.05 is a god bet according to me.
Tranmere Rovers vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers – away win @ 1.70
Not a odds that I recommend to bet on, but if I have to chose a side I would go for the Premier League club Wolves. Tranmere is playing two series below Premier League and even though Wolverhampton has had hard to score in their away matches the deferens is big between these two series. And Tranmere is one of the bottom teams in league one, fighting to stay there even next year.
But knowing that the FA-cup often gives us some surprises I recommend to skip this match.

Good luck with your bets
