No Love Lost as Bruce Aims to Spoil United’s Party
Despite winning three Premier League titles as a Manchester United player, Steve Bruce will be no less determined to get a result at the JJB Stadium on Sunday as his Wigan side look to spoil the Red Devils’ party. Alex Ferguson’s team talk should be straight-forward enough, win the game and United are Champions. However, should they slip up, then Chelsea are poised to snatch the title from under their noses. Another Man United legend, Mark Hughes, put a spanner in the works as Blackburn held the league leaders to a draw in mid-April, so despite Wigan having nothing tangible to play for, this game is no gimme.
The ‘Latics are unbeaten in five games, including a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge, and victory last weekend at Villa Park, traditionally two very difficult venues to get a result. Steve Bruce has had a dramatic impact since taking over in November, ensuring the club’s survival, by building a tight defensive unit. Wigan have conceded just once in their last eight home games, so it will take something special from the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo to unlock their defence. Ronaldo’s double against West Ham last weekend at Old Trafford settled nerves and took his toll for the season to 40; the PFA Player of the year could be the difference again in this game and PinnacleSports.com price Man Utd 1.826 (-1.5 & -2)* with Wigan 2.110 (+1.5 & 2)*.
Chelsea Must Win And Hopes for Favours from Wigan
On paper, Chelsea’s home game against Bolton Wanderers, seems a simpler task than Manchester United’s game at the JJB Stadium. However, winning isn’t enough for the Blues, they need Wigan to produce a similar result to the 1-1 draw achieved at Stamford Bridge in mid-April that has become so crucial to the title race. Avram Grant rested Frank Lampard and Joe Cole for Monday’s win at St.James’ Park, where once again, Michael Ballack became the match-winner. Cole and Lampard are expected to start on Sunday as Chelsea look to finish a third successive Premiership campaign with an unbeaten home record.
Bolton come to Stamford Bridge virtually assured of safety, only an extremely unlikely turn of events could send them down, so they may lack some of the fight, shown in recent games, which has helped them stay up. Punters should however be aware that Bolton’s physical game has caused Chelsea problems in the past. Wanderers have lost just one of their last four visits to the Bridge, so they are certainly capable of frustrating the Blues on such a key day. PinnacleSports.com price Chelsea 1.952 (-2)* with Bolton 1.971 (+2)*.
