Saturday’s Premiership Football

Man Utd v Aston Villa – Live on Setanta Sports 1, k/o 5:15pm

Things went well for Manchester United last Sunday, with United outclassing fierce rivals Liverpool 3-0 and with Arsenal losing to Chelsea, United have one hand on the title. With seven games to go, United are five points clear at the top of the table and the title is now theirs to throw away. While Arsenal seem to be out of the running after their defeat at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, Chelsea look like they’ll continue to grind out results and push United to the wire. The two teams meet at the Bridge in April in what looks set to be the crunch fixture, although United’s matches at home to Arsenal and their bogey team, West Ham, could also be potential banana skins. You’d expect this game against Aston Villa to be a straightforward one for Fergie’s men though. Martin O’Neill’s team are winless in their last four outings and haven’t enjoyed a Premier League victory over United since August 1995. And their 1-0 defeat at home to Sunderland last week suggested that the players are more focused on their summer holidays then ending the season with a flourish. With United at home, bookies have priced them as favourites for this match, with VC Bet offering 1/3 on a home win, while Villa have been priced at 8/1 (Better) to get something at Old Trafford.

Chelsea v Middlesbrough – Live on Setanta Sports 1, k/o 1:30pm

After Chelsea’s victory over Arsenal, where the Blues came back from behind to win 2-1, Chelsea’s title ambitions have the faintest hope. Chelsea will only be able to capitalise on any Man Utd mishaps if they successfully clear all the jumps in their way. And having stumbled several times already this season there’s no guarantee they will. Avram Grant's men may not be a side lacking in confidence, but a fortunate 1-0 win against Sunderland and a 4-4 draw with Tottenham is hardly the stuff of Champions. However, if Chelsea slip up against Boro, all their good work will be undone. Admittedly the chances of Gareth Southgate’s team ending Chelsea’s four-year unbeaten home league run are slim, but Boro are in relatively good form. They’ve pulled away from the drop zone and are unbeaten in three games – they may have only won one of those, and that was against Derby, but they also went to Arsenal and managed a draw. A similar result at Stamford Bridge would certainly please the Boro faithful. Chelsea have been priced as favourites at 1/4 (Better), meanwhile Boro have been priced at 10/1 by Centrebet to dent Chelsea’s title challenge.

Liverpool v Everton – Live on Sky Sports 1, k/o 4:00pm

The big game on Sunday sees the 206th Merseyside derby, where Liverpool host Everton at Anfield. Merseyside derbies were often described as the most passionate and the most brutal in the football calendar. This fixture will have added relevance as there are only two points separating fourth place Liverpool from fifth place Everton from the coveted Champions League place. Liverpool head into the Merseyside derby at Anfield on Sunday knowing that victory would just about kill off Everton's hopes of Champions League football next season. With only six games remaining after this weekend, the Toffees can ill-afford to slip up. However, while Everton's attention is focused on the league run-in, Liverpool will be diverted by the Champions League, where they face Arsenal twice either side of another meeting with them in the league in the first eight days of April. With Liverpool’s home advantage, the Reds have been priced as favourites at 3/4 (VC Bet), meanwhile Everton have been priced at 10/3 by Better to win at Anfield.
