There's not a lot of teams with nothing left to play for this year as I can only count three teams that either are all but out of it for the 5th place Europa League spot and have no threat of relegation. With this season being so long and with no need to bring back players early, I don't expect much out these sides.

Wolves have beaten ManU, City and Chelsea at home and are the more desperate team here. Everton's a thin side and the drop off to their subs is deep and they will be without Arteta, Saha and Fellaini. . . and possibly Cahill and Rodwell

Wolves pk -124 to win 1 unit

Blackburn and Birmingham City are both horrible to watch. They're both set up to play a tough, direct game and both managers are talking up their defenses and the need to "get something" out of every game. I won't watch this game because it will be dour and that's why I expect no more than a goal.

Blackburn/Birmingham City Under 2.5 (-130) to win unit

The only path to glory in this season for Chelsea is through the Champion's League as they're too far back to catch ManU. They have a huge challenge ahead of them during mid-week in Manchester and it'd be easy to overlook a game against last place Wigan . . . especially since they've scored 14 goals against Wigan without reply. But if a team has ever lost 6 nil and outplayed the opposition, it was the last Chelsea Wigan match

Wigan/Chelsea Draw +5681/4 unit
Wigan +1657 1/4 unit

Sunderland was one of those teams with nothing to play for a couple of months ago, but 1 point in their last 7 games have pulled them back into a relegation fight. West Brom has been much better organized under their new manager and hasn't leaked goals like earlier in the year.

Game could go a couple of different ways depending on how City looks to approach the game. I expect that they will be defensive and looking for a draw as that's been their away approach against the top sides since Mancini became their manager. . . .but, Liverpool is going to be hard pressed to field a back four and should be easy to attack. . . . but, City has some problems in the back as well, so they may keep things defensive.

I'm leaning towards the matchups being too favorable for City to pass up on and if they attack this game, they win.

Manchester City pick +104
