With Liverpool comfortably in third place, the bonus will be on Blackburn Rovers to try and win to keep up the pressure on fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur. It will be a tall order as the Reds have won their last five in succession and are unbeaten at Ewood Park in the last six meetings between the pair. Four matches have ended all square with Liverpool winning 3-1 in both the 2003/04 and 1998/99 seasons. However, Rovers are unbeaten in their last five league matches and Craig Bellamy is the Premiership’s form player with six goals in as many games. Liverpool will settle for a draw while Blackburn will go for the win. Pick - Blackburn +1/4
EPL 16/04/06 Aston Villa VS Birmingham
Another derby game for Villa after last week derby game against WBA. Both team are desperate for points expecially Birmingham after Portsmouth win against Boro. 7 out of 10 Birmingham derby end up square and this one is no different. Pick - Birmingham +1/4

EPL 12/04/06 Portsmouth VS Arsenal
Both teams have so much to play today and both need a win to keep their hopes alive. Portsmouth has been getting points lately and they could fancy a point against Arsenal who has just been beaten 2-0 by Man U. On paper, Arsenal has all the strength and wit to win Portsmouth but playing against a relegation candidate can be very tricky and tough because they are playing for their life in EPL. Pick - Portsmouth +3/4

Italian Cup 11/04/06 Udinese VS Inter Milan
First leg play in Udinese. Udinese had a good win last weekend against Livorno and Inter had a win against Ascoli. Inter will be looking for the weekend match against arch rival AC Milan and would probabaly put in an understrength side and play for a draw. Pick - Udinese +1/2

EPL 09/04/06 Aston Villa VS West Brom
Local derby is set to turn nasty as West Brom fighting for survival against relegation. Villa has been bad for the past six games but West Brom is worst. Based on form , it's hard to pick a winner for this game. But based on the handicap offered, i will go with West Brom tonite. Pick - West Brom +1/2
EPL 09/04/06 Man U VS Arsenal
Big game of the week. Derby game like this will bring out the best in every players. Man U is the most form team at the moment winning all six last games. Arsenal on the other hand is high on confident after securing a place in the semi final of the champion league for the first time in history. Nothing much to seperate these two team. a 1/2 ball handicap offered to Arsenal is indeed very generous and based of their previous performance against Juventus, i don't see Arsenal losing this game tonite. Pick - Arsenal +1/2

EPL 08/04/06 Portsmouth VS Blackburn
Relegation candidate against Champion League potential candidate. Blackburn has a good record against Portsmouth for the past few season. But this time round it's a different ball game. Portsmouth is playing for their survival in the premier league. Blackburn is eyeing for a last champion league spot thus making this game all the more interesting to play. At level ball, i will go with Portsmouth to nick to one. Pick - Portsmouth level ball
EPL 08/04/06 Wigan VS Birmingham
Wigan has been poor for the last 4 games, losing 3 and drawn 1. Birmingham has played their best football this season after holding champion Chelsea to a 0-0 draw and beating Bolton 1-0. Their spirit are high and they feel that the can escape relegation this season. Wigan on the other hand are playing to secure a place in Europe with just their first season in EPL. With 1/2 ball handicap offered, this game could go either way. Pick - Birmingham +1/2

ELC 07/04/06 Leicester VS Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace playing to secure a playoff place and the are hot after winning Watford 3-1 last week. Leicester on the other hand has got nothing to play for except for pride. On level ball handicap, it really favours the home team not to loose tonite. Pick - Leicester on level handicap.

UEFA Cup 06/04/06 - Steaua Buc. v Rapid Buc
Nothing much seperate this two teams for the last six games. Romanian derby for this two teams are usually a very tight game and usually end up in a draw or winning by a single goal margin. A handicap of +1/2 really favours Rapid to nick this game and go thru to the semis. Pick rapid +1/2
