Pick #5: Barnsley vs BLACKPOOL

After a risk-free international break and a very unsuccessful NFL week 1 (more on that tomorrow) its back to classic english football, with a full saturday fixture list.

Van Persie rescued me last week with a last minute miracle; watching it we all know it shouldn't happen, but knowi ts going to anyway. I can't see anyone else scoring for United at the moment, if Rooney and Van Persie are spending long spells out with injuries, they don't look a patch on City. Both Manchesters hold fairly good value this weekend, 4/11 for United at home to Wigan (an easier game when both the title isn't on the line and Wigan haven't decided to again rescue their season in the last few weeks.) City are 7/10 away at Stoke, never an easy place to play but the type of game that ultimately wins the league. city also lost this fixture last year, with a wonderstrike from Peter Crouch.

Sunderland and Liverpool looks good for a draw at 5/2, value can also be found for Swansea, 2/1 away at the struggling Aston Villa. The draw also wouldn't be a bad bet at 12/5.

This week's banker pick is Blackpool who currently look the best side in the division, playing slick football and most certainly the favourites for top 6 at the end of the year. The third week in a row I've chosen an away side may pose a risk, but if they continue to perform to their current standards, they should run away against an inferior Barnsley side.

PICK #5: £9.12 on BLACKPOOL TO BEAT BARNSLEY within the 90 mins @ 20/21
