Tonge’s Tips: Blackburn Rovers (Win a free £5 bet)

“In partnership with SetantaBet, 7Cantonas.com brings you “Tonge’s Tips”, a look ahead to the Premier League games with a bit of a twist. This season, Alan, the 7Cantonas team and the good fellows over at GGMU are going head to head in their predictions, and want you, our readers, to join in”

Alan : After a dreadful 1-0 win (that sounds crazy doesn’t it ) we travel over to Ewood Park for a tussle against a team of relegation battlers.

I’m hoping we can get the Fulham performance out of the system and put on a real display here. It’s getting towards the nitty gritty now, and we need to keep battling away and grinding Man City down! If we can get another couple of wins under our belt and keep them under pressure, we may just see a towel thrown in?

Potentially, its a tricky tie on paper, however I’m confident we can do the business and will tip us up for a 2-0 victory (5/1 with SetantaBet).

For the bonus tip, I’m going for a canny Martin O Neil to prepare his Sunderland side for a point, and provide another title blow in our rivals campaign. I will tip up a 1-1 here (9/1 with SetantaBet).

Mart : After Monday night’s tight 1-0 win over Fulham, United travel to a ground that hasn’t been kind to United in recent years. United haven’t won there since goals from Ronaldo and Wes Brown got us the three points in 2008 and of course Blackburn beat us at Old Trafford last year in a complete shambles of a result.

Blackburn have picked up over the last couple of months, four wins in their last ten which considering they were relegation certainties is impressive.

United have no new injury worries (for a change) and so you’d expect a strong side to play. Nani could come in after being out for a few weeks.

With this being a tough ground to go to I’m going to back United to pick up the three points in a tight 2-1 win (7/1 with SetantaBet).

For my other tip I’m backing Newcastle to beat Liverpool 2-1 (9/1 with SetantaBet).

Tom : Kean Out? The resurgence of Blackburn’s fortunes has almost been enjoyable, given the torrents of abuse Steve Kean had to withstand not too Long ago. Having this, this fixture now represents a tougher challenge for United, against a team with a renewed sense of confidence, playing at home and fighting for their lives. Not a walk in the park by any means but United’s experience in these fixtures to see them over the line. Blackburn 1-2 United (7/1 with SetantaBet).

Bonus: Torres to score v Villa (6/5 with SetantaBet).
