Bookings to be the bookies' favourite

The Hammers have been very poular all week at 14/1 to be relegated this term and on Saturday's display punters may not be far wrong.

This season I strongly believe a big team will be relegated to the Championship as supposed whipping boys Hull and Stoke have out-fought more illustrious opponents.

West Ham, Newcastle and even Blackburn, available at a massive 14/1 to go down, could be among the casualties.

It's only November but there are some relegation humdingers this weekend, including the showdown between Roy Keane and Paul Ince when Sunderland and Blackburn meet at the Stadium of Light.

Both managers fought hard on the pitch and both teams mirror Keane and Ince's love for a tackle and a booking or two.

Blackburn have averaged 2.5 bookings per match in the Premier League this season while Sunderland average 1.6 per match. With so much at stake, and fierce rivalry between the managers, the 11/10 available on the match producing more than four bookings looks very tempting indeed.

Stoke and Hull have got the plaudits for the way they have taken to the Premier League this term but Bolton, odds-on for relegation three weeks ago, have gone about their business and have had just one defeat in their last six matches.

Last week they had goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen to thank for all three points and they are simply too big at 6/1 to beat Liverpool at the Reebok.

Liverpool will know what to expect and they don't like it. The in-your-face teams have always performed well against the star-studded Reds and Bolton, perhaps the most physcial team in the league, will fancy their chances.

In recent head-to-head records Liverpool have only won twice in the last 10 match-ups between the two.

Saturday night is reality tv night and the game has to be up for the two worst contestants in reality tv history, John Sergeant on Strictly and Danny Evans on X Factor.

How, Sergeant has lasted eight weeks by simply not being able to dance is a mystery.

Last week I couldn't believe what I saw when his name was called out first and the backlash in the press is such he simply has to go. Evens this time around is too big to miss.

On X-Factor, pool cleaner Danny Evans must be finally out of his depth in "Best of British Week".

The widower has been gaining the sympathy vote each week and like Sergeant has to go before the whole programme becomes a laughing stock. Evens again is too big, but make sure you double them up at 3/1.
