Boxing Day Selections

WOLVES v Wigan

QPR v Swansea

MANCHESTER UNITED -1 v Sunderland

Three more home selections for the Boxing Day schedule, as Manchester United and QPR should both be able to secure their positions at the top of their respective leagues. United, in particular, could be in for a free scoring afternoon against an injury hit Sunderland squad.

Meanwhile, Wolves recent run of good home form can be expected to continue against a Wigan team who have justified their reputation as one of the favourites for the drop.

Elsewhere, here are my points to note. These are not classified as tips.

FULHAM are too short at evens to be backed to beat West Ham at home in the first game of the day. The same shortness of price is enough to keep well away from EVERTON at home to Birmingham, as the Toffees inability to score should see them avoided. Recall that a good result for Everton at Chelsea was followed up with a 0-0 home draw against Wigan before getting too carried away by the recent success at Manchester City.

CRAWLEY are also too short at 4/6 to win at Eastbourne in the Conference, after flattering to deceive in recent away games, including a 1-1 draw at Barrow. Eastborune were beaten 4-2 at home by championship-chasing Luton earlier in the season, but they gave the Hatters all they could handle that afternoon, coming back from 2-0 down to level the match at 2-2. Home form has been key to Eastbourne's continued success in the conference, and following the visitors at such a short price highlights a strategy that will not provide success in the long run.
