Didn't look into the match tonight yet but my instincts are

If City play like they did last year, which is defend depend and bore us all to sleep I can see them walking out winners. But if they try to keep the ball like they did this season and pin Chelsea back (Chelsea be playing like they did for their last two matches) I think Chelsea will catch them on the break.

Chelsea will have Luiz suspended for this game (Big plus for Chelsea, big negative for the lads who are backing him to be booked ) so they will have to play Bosingwa RB and Ivanović at CB. Chelsea nornally this year play with a high defensive line and if they do this against City then City can ping the ball over the full backs all night long and hammer Chelsea. Terry's pace...ie lack of... and the lack of defensive ability of Bosingwa mean's they can't play this system. So much of this game will depend on the tactics of it (like most games ), but like Barca the other night Chelsea need to win and most of all can't lose tonight.

Also Sturridge will be out to prove a point to Man City for not playing him and forcing him to leave the club.

Just had a quick look at the stats. I won't be having a bet till I see the teams.

Roma v Juventus

Roma are depleted in defence ahead of the visit of unbeaten Juventus. Nicola Burdisso and Simon Kjaer are both injured. Right-back Marco Cassetti was a late withdrawal from the squad while Juan is suspended. Midfielder Fernando Gago and attacker Bojan Krkic are also banned following their red cards in the 3-0 defeat at Fiorentina last time out.
The only player missing for Juve's trip to the capital is forward Mirko Vucinic, who is denied a return to his former club after being ruled out until the New Year through injury.

3) When attacking City have a tendency to play their 4 midfielders very narrow, sometimes it looks like a "magical square" used by Brazilian teams (2 DMs and 2 CM/AMs ahead of them) with full backs overlapping. Sturridge does a good job defensively against his full back, but Mata doesn't. If Mata starts on the left and Micah Richards will be a full back on his side, I can see City having a big impact here.

Richards isn't included in the squad

Chelsea (from): Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole, Mikel, Romeu, Ramires, Lampard, McEachran, Mata, Malouda, Meireles, Torres, Drogba, Kalou, Sturridge, Lukaku, Turnbull.


Manchester City (from): Hart, Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Savic, K Toure, Clichy, Johnson, Milner, Y Toure, De Jong, Barry, Hargreaves, Nasri, Silva, Dzeko, Balotelli, Aguero.

Also Terry also has a bad record of getting booked this season, he has 6 booking in 14 games in 2011 season but he 6 booking last year in 33 games and 7 booking the year before in 37 games. The 9/4 with sky bet could be value but I don't have an account

(as you can guess with all my posts, I done alot in work today )

11/2 PP powerplay looks tasty for city and juventus to win but played it safe and went for a draw no bet double of city (11/10) and juventus (4/7) @ 23/10

Roma are missing quite a few and juve have been great at grinding out results this season, and I can see city having chelsea on the back foot for a good while, whether they play their usual game or go behind and throw men forward. Hence the booking bets as well...

Done a double of Juventus to win and John terry to be booked 16 euro returns 95. Was gonna pick Bosingwa/Zabaleta but stuck to the old reliable!

And stuck a euro on each of Terry and Bosingwa to be sent of @ 20/1 and 22/1 just for a laugh! :P

Requested odds on Vargas to score midweek

Took the right one i suppose because U de Chile has 2 of them.
I know you know but you might have to explain it to PP.

Poznan to score in both halfs @ evens
Poznan gets 42.3% of goals in 1st half and 57.7% in 2nd half- rather even spread.

In last 4 away matches in League, Lubin have conceded in both halves.

Would you be worried that apart from Poznans last match which they won 4-0 they did'nt score in each of 4 previous games?

Tho the other team does concede alot of goals.
to score in both halfs is 6/5 with PP

Juventus -1 V Roma is 7/2 with Paddy Power are pretty generous odds.

Roma are without a lot of key players so Luis Enrique finds himself also having to completely reconstruct his defence, as Simon Kjaer and Marco Cassetti join Nicolas Burdisso, David Pizarro and Fabio Borini on the treatment table.

There's talk of De Rossi having to fill in at centre back.

Vucinic is the only injury concern for Juventus who are still unbeaten. Roma on the other hand lost their last game 3-0 to Fiorentina.

Roma have the home advantage tonight but the "ultras" are calling for Enrique to be sacked and the club are in dissaray on the pitch with very few options.

Had to take this, expecting a comfortable win from juventus, threw a fiver on it in a double with city dnb (11/10).

Bit early but odds might change, get lower.

EL: Wisla Krakow - Fc Twente @2,3 for a home win.
Wisla need a win to have a change to progress. Twente cant be arsed (will always finish the group on top)and leaves 5 1st team players in Holland to rest them for the match on Sunday away to Feyenoord.

EL: And then there is the possible Greek - Russia conspiracy Paok - Rubin where a draw will mean qualification for both and Tottenham are gone.
Odds on a draw are only 2,4 though.

Can see PSV rest a good few players too but they play at home against Rapid Bucaresti who probably also only think of this match as being a nuisance. So i stay away from that one

Dutch Eredivisie: PSV has to go to Heerenveen this weekend.
Heerenveen win @3,5 is massive. Heerenveen's attack is by far the best in Holland at the moment with Bas Dost scoring 5 (14 in 16 matches now) this weekend against poor Excelsior. Can see them cause all kind of problems for any defence as AZ found out 2 weeks ago (lost 5-1 at Heerenveen).

Yardie have you any opinion on total cards or markets in the Chelsea game?

Also would a €50 double qualify as a pre match bet to get the free 50 do u think or does it have to a single?

thanks



EDIT I just rang up and both bets must be singles

Not a total but a few yo yos on Terry to be booked .was 7/10 earlier
