[u]Aston Villa v Swansea[/u]
[i]Back Aston Villa @ 2.37 (137/100)[/i]
Aston Villa picked up their first point of the season against Newcastle last time out and I'm taking them to pick up their first win on Saturday.
Paul Lambert has endured a tough start to life in the Midlands; a shoestring budget, key injuries and poor results weren't exactly what he was hoping for, but there are causes for optimism. Firstly, the fans aren't on his back yet as they were with his predecessor. Secondly, the performance at the Sports Direct Arena against Newcastle was a vast improvement, and finally, Gabby Agbonlahor has regained fitness.
Points one and two are important, but it's point three that could prove the most vital. Star striker, Darren Bent, has been far too isolated, however with Agbonlahor...

[u]Leicester v Nottingham Forest (Tuesday, 19:30, ESPN)
[/u]

[b]Andrew Atherley roots through the statistics to bring you a trio of suggested bets in the 2011-12 Barclays Premier League relegation market...[/b]
Almost every season the Premier League relegation market is headed by the three promoted teams and this season is no exception, with [b]Swansea[/b] favourites at 1.67, [b]Norwich[/b] next at 1.88 and then [b]QPR[/b] at 2.78.
But almost every season the market is confounded, with the promoted teams often performing better than expected. Just once have all three newcomers been relegated in the 16 seasons since the Premier League was reduced to 20 teams, with one or none being relegated in 10 of those 16 seasons.
That indicates we should expect at least one of the promoted teams to stay up - you have to go back 14 seasons to find the...
