BLACKBURN vs MANCHESTER UNITED (EPL)

Without Brad Friedel making 50 world class saves against Man Utd, Blackburn will be easy opponents. United do have a problem in the centre of midfield with Scholes, Hargreaves and Carrick out, which means Anderson (I picked him up in fantasy football last week and he got me 7.5 points! Woot!) and Giggs should start in midfield, but Giggs played well in midweek so I think there shouldn't be a problem there. Attack wise, Berbatov has finally scored, and Ronaldo is getting his form back, so United win here.

Roland's prediction: $5 on Man Utd -1 @ 2.000 = $10.00

blackburn have been my jinx team this season, but i think that getting any points against manchester united, will be very tough. manu might be light in midfield, but blackburn are not much better off. steven reid, vince grella, and david dunn will be missing. meaning blackburn will be unable to take full advantage of united's weaknesses in the centre of the park. however, i still see this match as being very tight, but with man utd winning it, so i'll go for straight win.

Eddy's prediction: $5 on man utd win @ 1.65 = $8.25
