Liverpool vs Aston Villa

Pick From England

Liverpool - Aston Villa
Monday, 21 January
Kick off: 20:00 GMT


Prediction: Liverpool to win

bet365 in Decimal 1.57

The verdict:
It looks a bit under prised having in mind the current form of Liverpool but also seems this one is a good choice for rebuilding some pride at home and stop drawing more games that will open an desperate gap on the top teams in the table. Man U, Arsenal and Chelsea took their matches during the weekend and Liverpool have no choice but to follow them and hope for a luck later when they will visit every one of the big three.

Team news also defends my tip for today with Agger the only certain absentee in Pool's squad and Finnan and Mascherano ready to fight back in the starting 11 at Anfield. At the same time, the influential Gareth Barry is probably missing the game for Villa with an injury doubt.

If we look at the current form table you might fancy Villa for this one as they also survived the thriller at Stamford earlier this season. Liverpool are dropping points at home and not using the opportunities they create , but I will go for them tonight knowing they are really hungry for 3 points and probably are confidently back in mood after 5:0 win in the FA Cup.

Villareal To Keep The Draw

Pick From Spain

Espanyol - Villareal
Saturday, 5 January
Kick off: 21:00 BST

Prediction: draw

The odds:

bet365 in Decimal 3.30
Bwin in Decimal 3.05



The verdict:
It seems like a no bet game or under 2.5 goals as the best choice here, at first look, but the fix draw can bring serious value if you try it even with small amount. And why you should do that? Espanyol are in brilliant form, probably best in Spain at the moment, coming into this game from a 13 matches no losing series. They grabbed the win in the midweek cup action and now are ready to defend their league ambitions welcoming another very strong team as Villareal is. The visitors have impressive traditions in this clash during the years and this will be their main trump when trying to avoid the defeat here. The defence is not the best ever but this time they will try to keep a clean sheet on an away fixture. We can not expect many goals in this one and if you are ready to take the risk try the fix bet on a draw that will treble your stake.
