Premiership Matches Played November 28 & 29
United Out to Maintain Pole PositionManchester United proved in Sunday's clash of the titans at Old Trafford that they are a match for Chelsea over ninety-minutes, but to steal their title, the Red Devils must maintain that level of performance until next May.The next test of United's resolve comes on Wednesday night at home to Everton, who should represent a slightly easier challenge than the Champions. The Toffees will be without attacking midfielder Tim Cahill, and England striker, Andy Johnson, who between them have scored eleven of the club's 18 Premiership goals. Alex Ferguson's side have injury concerns of their own, after Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Saha limped off on Sunday. Even with the likelihood that the duo miss this game, the greater strength of depth in United's squad makes them favourite on the Asian Handicap at 1.877 (-1 & -1.5) with Pinnacle, while Everton are 2.05 (+1 & +1.5), despite having drawn on their last two visits.Six-point Battle at Vicarage RoadWatford have had ten days to prepare for Tuesday's game at home to Sheffield United, and recover from a disappointing defeat at Fratton Park. After that game, Aidy Boothroyd joined the growing list of Premiership managers seeking an audience with referee supreme Keith Hackett having been on the wrong end of some questionable decisions by the man in the middle. Blades' manager, Neil Warnock, will be queuing behind him after Sheffield United had a legitimate goal ruled out on Saturday at Upton Park, condemning them to their 8th defeat from 14 Premiership games.Just one point separates the clubs, who both currently occupying relegation spots, making this a true six-point game. Having had just two days to prepare, Sheffield United are slight underdogs, 1.943 (0/scratch & -0.5) with Pinnacel, while the Hornets are priced 1.98 (0/scratch & +0.5). Honours were shared when the sides faced each other in last season's Championship, but the two meetings produced five goals each, so Pinnacles OVER 2 goals quote of 1.935 might be snapped up.Chelsea Should Relish Scrap at ReebokDespite only drawing at the Theatre of Dreams, Chelsea left Lancashire with the psychological upper-hand, but must return to the county on Wednesday night for another severe test of their mental strength at the Reebok Stadium. Bolton saw off an injury weakened Arsenal side on the weekend, where former-Gunner, Nicolas Anelka, broke his duck for the Trotters with two well taken goals.Sam Allardyce may have out-muscled Arsenal, but Jose Mourinho's side relish a scrap, so are less likely to roll-over. odds makers at Pinncle agree, pricing the Champions 1.962 (-0.5 & -1) on the Asian Handicap, with Bolton 1.962 (+0.5 & +1), backed up three consecutive wins for the Londoners in recent encounters.Weakened Pompey Face Tough Test At Fortress AnfieldLiverpool maintained their Jekyll & Hyde form on Saturday. 19 of their 21 league points have come at Anfield, the latest courtesy of a trademark Steven Gerrard strike. The Reds have another home game on Wednesday, and another opportunity to extend a 22 game unbeaten home run, against a Portsmouth side ravaged by injury. Pompey still occupy the lofty position of fourth in the table, but the Scousers could leap-frog them with a victory, which www.PinnacleSports.com fully expect. Liverpool are 1.901 (-1), while the South Coast side are 2.03 (+1) for the long journey North.Gunners Lower Sights for SeasonArsene Wenger conceded the title on Saturday evening after a humiliating defeat at the hands of Bolton. The Frenchman must now ensure that the Gunners claim a Champions League spot, and will look to get back on track with victory in Wednesday's London Derby at Craven Cottage. Arsenal will at least welcome back Thierry Henry and Tomas Rosicky, for a fixture they have dominated with five straight wins registering eight goals last season. Fulham will be without suspended defender, Ian Pearce, sent off in their third home defeat of the season. Pinnacle hint at another with Arsenal 1.87 (-0.5 & -1), with the Cottagers 2.06 (+0.5 & +1).Citizens Chase First Away Win at Villa ParkThe remaining midweek fixture throws together Aston Villa - unbeaten at home - with Manchester City - yet to win away. The Citizens may have taken some credit from the way they defended at Anfield on Saturday, but nevertheless, City failed to add to their miserable away tally currently standing at just one solitary point. However, Stuart Pearce's side are unbeaten in nine meetings with Villa, giving them as good a chance as any to add to that total. Pinnacle rate them 2.00 (+0.5), with the Villans slight favourites 1.926 (-0.5).
