Saturday plans

Man City V Chelsea

Normally I wouldn’t be so keen to follow an odds on shot away from home but even with a make or break tie against Fenerbache coming up, Chelsea have enough strength in dept to win this one.
Despite losing 2 – 1 midweek Chelsea created enough chances to win and if they are half as creative today then then they should win.
Man City started the season off very well but have since faded away and have only taken 9 points from the last 30 which says it all really. Their football has become a bit disorganised and it looks a little like their players have lost focus. Chelsea tend to do well against City and already beat the 6 – 0 earlier in the season.

Verdict
No matter what side Grant choses to put out he has enough quality on the bench that would shame other teams. He will want his side to go into next Tuesdays game on the back of a win so we should see a motivated Chelsea side today.

PICK
Chelsea –0.5 (1.74 @ mansion) 5 points


Carlisle V Yeovil

Carlisle’s promotion chances took a huge dent with the 2 – 0 reverse to Nottingham forest midweek but today they have a great chance to put it all back on track.
Despite that loss their home record is amazing with 16 wins from 19 attempts and they will be keen to get back to winning ways.
Yeovil really struggle on the road and this trip is not what they need right now, they have failed to score in the last 5 away games and face a Carlisle side that have kept 10 clean sheets at home.

Verdict
Carlisle will be determined to get back to winning ways and luckily for them they face a side who are just awful travellers. Carlisle to win here

PICK
Carlisle win (1.59 @ pinnacle) 5 points
