West Ham - Stoke 2.10 - 4.12
A bit weakened defensively West Ham had no major problems preventing the Newcastle strikers from scoring against them. Will they be as effective stopping P Crouch? Well Crouch and his Stoke have been surprisingly quiet this season and although they defeated QPR 1-0 they were far from convincing. Coach Pulis had changed his formation, but according to unanimous reports QPR were the better side at the Britannia Stadium. Pulis will easily accept that verdict, as Stoke got their all important three points.
West Ham, mostly convincing this season, up against a Stoke side less impressive than last season and one has to say that the home win alternative looks much more attractive.
West Ham have quite a few injury concerns, as M Jarvis, Benayoun and G McCartney all had to leave the match with injuries last week. M Maiga, O’Neil and G Demel did just fine replacing the trio. It looks worst for McCartney at this moment. J Collins will probably be back in the home defence. Stoke miss the suspended D Whitehead. I would pick the home win.

Roma - Torino 1.63 - 5.70
De Rossi, Burdisso and Tachtsidis will all be suspended for the home side, De Rossi is doing nothing very good for his Roma these days. I would off load him and get some fantastic money in the process.
Do not underestimate Torino in their away fixtures. They remain unbeaten with 1-5-0 this far. Why, oh why should Roma be 1.63 favourites in this game? Important Torino defender Ogbonna is expected back for this game. I usually say there will be four or five goals whenever Roma are involved, but maybe not on Sunday. Only three- four this time.
