The Monday Tip (8)

Well we have reached week 8 of 'The Monday Tip' and after last week's tip, I have taken a long hard look at myself. To say I was embarrassed with my Real Madrid tip would be a massive understatement.

Look on the bright side though, it can't get any worse than last week, can it?

So what do I have for you this week? Well, the live Monday night football on Sky Sports comes from Anfield where Roy Hodgson's Liverpool take on Gerard Houllier's Aston Villa.

It is bound to be an emotional evening for Houllier as he returns to the club where he spent many years as manager. However, I don't think Liverpool will be handing out any favours this evening as they look to get their season firmly back on track.

I can see Liverpool winning this one fairly comfortably and that's why this week's tip is for the Merseyside club to win minus a goal (so basically, they win by 2 goals or more). It is priced at around the 15/8 mark and for me, that's a great bet.

So that's the tip for this week. Despite the fact we no longer have to run these blogs as part of our college course, I should be back next week with another Monday tip.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Liverpool 3-0 Aston Villa. Back to winning ways, thank god! How bad were Villa tonight? At that rate, they could get dragged into a relegation fight. Looking forward to next Monday!
