EPL Saturday (1st April)

This is definitely not a April's Fool joke. Whatever is predicted will definitely come true.

First up, Birmingham vs Chelsea. There have been talks about Chelsea losing it, which I think to a cetain extend is true. But in Chelsea's case, it will not be that bad. Main reason is because they basically have their full squad ready for "battle" against a very weak Birmingham team.
The threat to Chelsea's defence will be very low. Heskey doesn't really threathen any defence. The supply from Pennant can be taken care by the very effective Del Horno.
Upfront for Chelsea, Mourinho can choose from about 10 players for 5 attacking positions. So, you can expect the Birmingham's defence to have a busy day.
So, it will be Chelsea tonight at -1.25 handicap.

Next one, another big gun. Make it a super on form big gun - Arsenal. If you see how they play now, you will find that it resembles the same confidence and form they had when they were on the 49 games run. Even against Juventus in the Champion's League, Arsenal was able to destroy them with real confidence. What is most encouraging is that the defence has only concede one goal in the whole month of March (5 games, including 2 CL games) .
On the other hand, Villa has not been playing well at all, especially away from home. With no players able to match the strength of the Arsenal midfield, it will be a very one sided affair.
Take Arsenal at -1.5 handicap
