WEST HAM V MAN CITY
I don't reckon the Hammers are gonna get dicked here. I know, I know, but hear me out. City have got that 6-0 lead from the first leg so will probably send out a team of no-marks that only cost about £100m to assemble, and West Ham, despite being horribly out of this tie, need to put in a performance. If they go and ship another 4 or 5 then the already toxic atmosphere at Upton Park could turn terminal for Sam Allardyce.

I'm expecting him to send out a strong (well, as strong as it can be) side and keep the damage down to the odd goal. I've had a look at the draw (4/1) but let's be serious, how about the home side with a +1 handicap at 9/5 instead? It's either that or the City win with BTTS at 7/4 for me. If you think I'm chatting nonsense and the Mancs are about to run riot, then stick a few quid on Dzeko getting 2 or more at 9/2.

Prediction: 1-2 (15/2)

No one ever lost money underestimating West Ham. Lesson learnt.

On to tonight's semi... (narf)

MAN UTD V SUNDERLAND
It's been pretty hilarious watching United cluelessly stumble about of late, but I reckon the laughs will be few and far between tonight. They're 3/10 for the win, 2/5 to qualify and make it a derby-final, and if you bet against them you probably want your head seeing to. This is Sunderland, at Old Trafford. Be sensible.

Not that they'll walk it. Could be a few nervy moments and fewer than 2.5 goals in the match at 13/10 looks a steal. In two minds as to whether or not the away side will get on the scoresheet but the home win with BTTS is 2/1. United did look awful at the back against Chelsea but Sunderland aren't Chelsea...

Scorers? Depends who starts, but right now Welbeck 23/20 any time looks to be the pick of the bunch.

Prediction: 2-0
