Arsenal had the opportunity to get ahead today, rest some players, and coast through for 3 points to be prepared and rested for Sunday, but unfortunately that is not how things went. Olivier Giroud took a bone-headed red card and will miss the next match, while players like Alexis Sanchez (despite being phenomenal) and Welbeck were incredibly overworked. On the flipside, West Ham got behind and never really had a chance. Sunday they will be in better shape for the match, I expect Arsenal to be fatigued and have trouble finding goals on the road, now short another striker in Giroud. I've played this game enough times to know what Alexis Sanchez legs will feel like when he gets out of bed. Price is way too good here and might be gone by gametime.
Aston Villa ML @ +136 (0.50 to win 0.68)
Aston Villa lost to Swansea today, but it wasn't a result that should get them too down, and isn't really a reflection of poor form. They only allowed one goal from a set piece, and otherwise have been very solid defensively. Sunderland had an absolutely terrible match at home and scored only 1 incredibly lucky goal in the 1st minute against a team that has been in a massive struggle. This will be a big blow to their confidence, and now they have to go on the road without an in form striker to play a Villa side that have been defending great, and have a phenomenal goal scorer at hand in Benteke. Sunderland results have been good on the road, but they only scored 1 goal in their last 3 away, and if they can't score in this game they will lose. Great price for a home win.

Leicester @ Hull OVER 2.5 @ +128 (0.50 to win 0.64)
Hull finally broke their scoring and winless drought today, but it's hard to feel confident that they will roll this over into next game, even though they face a lesser opponent on their home field. Both teams are desperate for points and will press for a win in this one. Despite losing today, Leicester played good attacking football and got unlucky a couple of times with a post and a crossbar, and certainly created enough chances to score goals. I think they will play aggressive again because this is the type of game they need to go for 3 points if they want to make a run at avoiding relegation. Both teams can concede and, if they are pressing forwards will leave themselves exposed. Seems like the type of game where we could see a penalty or two with end to end football so I think their is a good chance the game goes OVER here.
QPR ML @ +146 (0.50 to win 0. 73)
QPR lost today at Arsenal, and never really looked like they had a chance until the red card, and even still a tie was all they had to play for, however, I see no reason to get off of the QPR at home bandwagon, as they are just an entirely different animal. Today's loss shouldn't hurt their confidence much (maybe even bolster it after the last 15 minutes) and now they play half the opponent on their home field. Palace are another team struggling with a case of no in form striker, and despite the good wide play from Puncheon and Bolasie, nobody in the middle has proven they can finish. Defending is definitely QPR's weakness, even at home, but with no major threat up top for CP this should be good news. Palace have scored 3 road goals in the last 5 and two of them were penalties. They conceded 6 their last two times out, albeit to strong teams, but Charlie Austin should be a handful for them, and the price is good enough for a punt on QPR.

Didn't have a great day, but went with Eriksen after our discussion, and he came through like always. I really love him as a player...Was going to go Chadli for cheaper but was scared he'd be subbed semi-early and he was, so that all went well.
