EPL Top Picks

Stephen Fry gives out a pair of expert picks from this weekend`s EPL schedule.

Middlesbrough V Manchester United

After last weekend`s thrilling 5-2 win over Tottenham, Manchester United hold a three point lead over Liverpool who had claimed their three points earlier in the day by beating Hull City 3-1, that win by Liverpool had really put the pressure on United and they responded with 5 second half goals to take the three points.

Middlesbrough in stark contrast are in real trouble, they sit in 19th place in the league with only four matches remaining to try and get out of the relegation zone, which really does not look like happening.

Middlesbrough are general -500 shots to get relegated to the Championship and that looks about right given that after this match there will only be a possible nine points left to fight for.

United still have a game in hand over their closest rivals Liverpool and this game although not a `must win` would go a long way to sealing the Premier League title, I can not really see United slipping up in this early kick off match and take them to claim the three points.

Liverpool V Newcastle United

Liverpool are doing all they possibly can to keep the title race alive, with Manchester United playing before this match kicks off Liverpool will at least know what they will need to do.

Newcastle are in a world of trouble, their points tally of 31 sees them in 18th place and in real danger of joining the Championship next season, Newcastle boss Alan Shearer still believes that his team can escape the drop, but its looking more and more unlikely that they will start next season in the Premier League.

Facing an in-form Liverpool side at Anfield is the last place Shearer and his men want to be this weekend, the last time these two met in domestic action Liverpool hammered Newcastle 5-1 and the way Newcastle are playing they could be on the end of another beating this Saturday.

If you fancy the same score again (5-1 to Liverpool) the odds are +2000.
