Gunners 23/10 in North London Derby

This weekend is Derby weekend as we have two intriguing encounters between two fierce rivals. The London derby as well as the Merseyside derby is the center piece of this weekend’s action and fans can expect a heated affair as pride will be at stake. An Arsenal win will do wonders to turn around their season, but Spurs will be far from the forgiving type in this one.

English Premier League Preview
What a weekend we have in store for us. Two of the biggest derbies in the league, including a lunch time Merseyside derby on Saturday and the North London derby on Super Sunday. It’s bound to be a great weekend of football. Let’s hope I can continue my recent vein of good form and give you a couple tips that will make the weekend just that little bit better.Merseyside Derby to End in Gridlock (23/10)
Everton v Liverpool, Premier League, Saturday 1st October, Goodison Park, 14:45
The Merseyside Derby is a fixture that all football fanatics take huge interest in. The two bitter rivals have been going head to head since the inauguration of the premier league. This encounter is never short of heart, determination and pride. The players all know that a victory in this match will go a long way in boosting confidence.

South Africa v Samoa, RWC 2011, Friday 30th September, North Harbour, 09:30
South Africa and Samoa meet at North Harbour Stadium for their last Group D clash, in what is effectively a play-off game for both sides. This will be the toughest test offered to the Springboks by the Pacific Island nations, with the last meeting between these two sides being a very physical encounter. After a shock victory over the Australians, the Samoan support has rallied behind the team, and within hours this match was sold out. The world will be watching to see if another upset for Samoa is on the cards.Wednesday, 28 September 2011
Sporting 21/20 to bring back the glory days
Sporting Lisbon vs Lazio, UEFA Europa League, Thurs 29th Sep, Estádio José Alvalade
Perhaps the fixture of the night on Thursday evening is the meeting between Sporting Lisbon and Lazio in Portugal. These two clubs are expected to fight it out at the top of Group D after both teams spent large sums over the summer in a bid to push on and move up the pecking order in their respective leagues. I expect an open affair with neither team particularly sound defensively at the moment.
PSG 21/10 to seize control of Group F
Athletic Bilbao vs PSG, UEFA Europa League, Thursday 29th Spetember, San Mames
Well the big spending Man City got completely outclassed in their first real test of elite European football on Tuesday night and on Thursday we’ll see if “France’s Man City”, PSG, have what it takes to be considered Europa League contenders. They travel to Spain to take on an Athletic Bilbao side that has made a troublesome start to the season under new coach Marcelo Bielsa.
Chiefs 3/10 to pile the hurt on Arrows
Kaizer Chiefs vs Golden Arrows, Absa PSL, Wednesday 28th September, Peter Mokaba Stadium
Peter Mokaba stadium plays host to a clash between Chiefs and Arrows tonight and the Amakhosi will be hoping for a better result than the last time they played there. On that occasion they were completely outplayed by Ajax Cape Town and were mercilessly shamed in front of the Polokwane crowd, going down 4-0. They will however face easier opposition this time round in Golden Arrows whose coach, Ernst Middendorp, is perilously close to suffering the dreaded axe.

Ryan Moore 14/1 to have the moves at The JT Open
The Justin Timberlake Open, PGA Tour, 29 September-02 October, Las Vegas
This week sees TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas play host to the interestingly named Justin Timberlake Open. The course played fourth easiest on Tour last year which is due in part to the fact that it is amongst the shortest courses to be found on Tour. Traditionally the tournament has had some big priced winners so I’ll be looking at a few of these roughies in an attempt to uncover the value.
