Weekend Review - 1 May 2010


Sunderland vs Manchester United



"...Liverpool have a catch-22 situation."
-Gary, 2 May 2010

I have to delay my review till now due to the permutations of the league table. Mid-table teams have nothing to gain or lose which they can take their mind off in the last 3 league games. But not for Chelsea, Man Utd and those teams that chasing for the 4th spot.

As of now, Tottenham is holding the fort well with 1 point ahead of Man City. The preultimate match between them is definitely not for the faint-hearted.

Last but not least, of all teams, Liverpool have a catch-22 situation. Win Chelsea and hand the title to Man Utd. Lose Chelsea not only deny Man Utd the title but also risk lose playing in Europa next season.

As for me, Man Utd also have to do their part by winning the last 2 games and hope that Chelsea will lose to Liverpool and wait for this, Wigan where they win Chelsea earlier in the season. So the ball is in whose court now?

Sunderland Team News: John Mensah, Lee Cattermole, Andy Reid and George McCarthney are out.

Man Utd Team News: Michael Owen, Danny Welback and Anderson are out.

Odds and Analysis: Man Utd is giving 1.5 handicap. At this time of the season, avoid Man Utd's handicap. I am predicting an odd-goal winner from Man Utd.

Disclaimer: This review is entirely on my own views and opinion. I didn’t point a gun at you to ask you to follow. If you want to bet on this game, do so at your own risk. Pls bet within limits. Good luck.
