It's the weekend accie...

"It's the first week of December so let's hope for a bit of seasonal magic. These last few weeks have been tough to predict with all the top four failing to perform and Spurs and Aston Villa slipping after a good run of form. So who can upset the odds this week? First of all it can't get any worse for Chelsea unless they somehow lose to an on form Bolton team. While they do manage a few upsets Chelsea are no soft touch so they won't be able to bully them off the park.

The other Premier League tie I fancy this weekend is a draw in the Newcastle v Stoke game with both teams struggling for goals. Leicester have been the form team in League One and started the season as title favourites, so feel guilty when you take the 7/10 steal on them at home. In League Two Wycombe come off the back of a 4-0 win that took them seven points clear at the top. They'll be keen to build on this as they went out of the FA Cup just last week and although they play third placed Aldershot, they have looked a cut above the rest for a while.

The SPL, as always, has a few mismatches so if you want a bit extra for the festive season get on Celtic and Hearts to take three points away from home. I've saved the best till last so don't forget to include Stenhousemuir who top the league and face second bottom Berwick."
