Harry's Honeymoon to continue

Since Harry Redknapp took over from Juande 'we might keep a clean sheet' Ramos, Spurs have enjoyed a remarkable revival, and he has certainly brought a feel-good factor back to White Hart Lane. With wins against Bolton, Liverpool and most recently a 4-0 win against Dinamo Zagreb, Spurs are undefeated under this new regime. Lest we forget, they are still
propping up the table! Darren Bent has been the biggest beneficiary of Redknapp's appointment, and he has scored 5 goals in the last 4 games. Against a City defence which concedes goals as a matter of habit, Bent is an awesome price @ 3.75 to continue his excellent run of form.

I'm also vaguely tempted to back Spurs to come away with all three points, and had seriously considered this opportunity before remembering not to get carried away. After all, this is the same side that has yet to win away from home this season, whereas Man City have a respectable 3-0-2 record at home this term. Even still, City's defence is leaky enough and Spurs are rejuvenated to the extent where I'm comfortable backing them on +0.25 Asian Handicap.

Chinks are appearing in Luiz Felipe Scolari's Chelsea machine, with recent defeats to Liverpool (shattering an unbeaten home record) and Roma in the Champions League.
However, they should look to bounce back against Blackburn. Winless in five matches, Blackburn are dropping down the table after a promising start, and
even starting to look like plausible relegation candidates. Chelsea will look to bounce back with a comfortable win at Ewood Park on Sunday - Blackburn have been
shut out in five of the last six matches between these sides, and although the 'win to nil' option is appealing, we prefer Chelsea on the -1.25 Asian Handicap at odds-against.

Fulham boast the joint-best home defensive record in the league, with just three goals conceded in six games. A 3-1-1 home record - including a win against Arsenal - would
indicate that things are going more than smoothly at Craven Cottage this season. However, with just nine goals scored in ten games, scoring goals has been a serious problem
for Roy Hodgson's men. Just two goals scored away from home all season, and Fulham have slipped into the relegation zone without grabbing the headlines for any particularly
dire performances. In fact, Fulham have the third-best away defensive record, yet are bottom of the away league table! Performances have been as expected, more or less -
everybody has done their job bar the strikers. Andy Johnson and Bobby Zamora have often threatened, but ultimately failed to deliver. There remains a promising striking
partnership, but the link-up play has been too 'pretty' for the Premier League, and it seems like Fulham are missing the presence of a midfield destroyer. Joe Kinnear is a colourful character and seems to relish using colourful language. It certainly seems like he is having a positive effect at Newcastle, with a 2-2-1 record
in their last five games.

However, a 0-2-3 away record tells its own story, and so I give Fulham the slight edge here based on their excellent defensive record.

Darren Bent to score anytime vs Man City - 2pts @ 3.75 (William Hill)
